Hello to all those reading
I have a in-class family law essay coming up in a few weeks, where we have to research 2 contemporary issues and answer an unknown question on the day. The two issues i chose were the
1.   The changing nature of parental responsibility
2.   Care and protection of children
The question is: does it undermine my essay if i say the law has been effective in achieving justice for one issue but not other, because i don't make a complete judgement? Asking because I'm having struggles with finding anything to talk about for changing nature of parental responsibility.
    - Thanks

Hey sidzeman! Welcome to the forums! ;D

Definitely not - I'd argue that's a more interesting perspective than a straight agree or disagree. You would essentially be arguing that the effectiveness of the law varies from issue to issue. As long as you still argue that point with conviction (that is, use high modality language and prove your argument with effective evidence), it should work well for you! ;D

alright thank you so much hahahahha
I don't suppose you have any cases demonstrating the problems with forced shared care after divorces - perhaps a case where the child continued to suffer domestic violence because spending equal time with both parents is so highly stressed by the courts?

Hmmm... I can't think of one off the top of my head, though good thinking for looking for a case like that.

This article discusses this very issue, and it looks like there was a bill in parliament regarding it - Could be worth giving this a read then following up on the bill or the report it mentions?

Sorry I can't help more, but it's a start ;D

That's an excellent media article I can use in my essay thank you!  :) :)
Do you know where I can go about finding a case like that? Any websites perhaps?
