Some findings in the social science
research about shared care,
Australia 2006 - 2010
Many of the social science reports published acknowledged that:
• children who had rigid parenting schedules expressed the greatest
level of unhappiness
• children who felt they had some say in the arrangements were
happier with the arrangements than those who had not
• children who were not happy with the share arrangements pointed to
the difficulties of living unsupervised with the parent who was
unpredictable or violent. They were frustrated that their safety
concerns had not been listened to.
• detrimental outcomes were identified for infants under the age of two:
they had higher irritability than infants in primary residence
arrangements
