Is shared custody beneficial for my child?

Yes. The child needs the presence of the father and mother. However parents should always work together for the development of the child, and make shared custody especially good for the child.

If it is safe for the child to be with both parents, it is very beneficial for the child to know and form a bond with both parents equally. It is important for the child to know both parents love them unconditionally, even though their parents may no longer be together.

Shared custody can be beneficial for your child as long as the other parent is not abusive or unsuitable in anyway. Safety of the child is the most important thing. But if the other parent is a good parent then shared custody would help your child, let them see that they still have two parents who love them and that they still have two parents for support and to turn to. It can help them see that their parents still get along which will stop any emotional stress. A child having to choose between parents can be extremely emotional for them and effect them in very negative ways, shared custody illiminates this worry for them.

Shared custody can be a beneficial arrangement for all parties involved, including a child. It helps if both parents are able to communicate effectively and cordially with one another for the best interests of the child.

As a parent, You know your child's needs best and its ultimately upto you how to fulfill them. It may be difficult to decide whether sharing custody is beneficial for them considering the many factors around the issue of custody but it is wise to primarily consider how your ex spouse will influence them, Are they a good influence for your child or are they going to influence them into habits you find offensive and growth hindering ?

It can as a child does needs a mother and father figure; however, this is dependant on the safety and the emotional and physical welfare of the child is ensured.

Yes. Especially if the other parent has no violated any of their rights to be a parent. A child needs both parents in his/her life.

It is most important for a child to have people in their lives that will provide care, safety and love. If both parents/guardians/care givers are in a position to be active, meet the childs needs and play a positive role models in the child's life than it can be beneficial for them to share custody.

Yes, it is! In my opinion children should spend time with their mothers and fathers as much as they can, not only with one of them. It brings problems in the future.

There are pros and cons to having shared custody, and single parent custody. In their own ways they are beneficial for children. Shared custody allows the child to grow up with both parents not having to feel neglect. With that said it might be hard for transportation reasons because parents could live far apart or it also could be stressful on the child as well. Having single custody for the child allows you to have full responsibility with the child, so it is important to contain a healthy relationship and also makes the child feel welcome. On the other hand it could make the child feel disconnected from the other parent.
