Luxembourg Family Law and current judicial approach with regards to Shared Parenting introducing it only if both parents agree makes the model non-existing. Not like in Belgium where 50/50 Shared Parenting is a starting point and a rule for custody hearings even if one of the parents disagrees.

Belgian authorities have introduced 50/50 Shared Parenting because even though the model may not resolve every issue parents face when divorcing 50/50 Shared Parenting protects the children by removing possibility for either parent to use children as an instrument of blackmail.

Not allowing children to have equal access to both of the parents, ignoring their voice, needs, their well-being and then presenting these decisions as made in their best interest makes children feel they do not matter.

Travesty, hypocrisy and inconsideration for family life leading to bias court decisions violating parental and gender equality. This needs to STOP!

Luxembourg has an opportunity to rise above. “Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn an mir kënnen e Beispill fir den Rescht vun Europa sinn.” — “We want to remain what we are, and we can be an example for the rest of Europe”.
