Many countries of the EU have or are to introduce 50/50 Shared Parenting – Alternating Residence as a rule for children custody hearings. A rule and methodology proven by expert psychologists, tests and empirical studies to be the most effective in protecting children emotional stability and their upbringing during separation and after divorce of the parents.Belgium and other modern societies such as Denmark set example for Luxembourg and the rest of Europe.

In 2015 European Council voted on Resolution 2079 calling all EU member states to introduce 50/50 Shared Parenting – Alternating Residence as a base for Family Law and a rule. So far, FAD – Fathers Against Discrimination a.s.b.l. has been unable to obtain explanation from the current Luxembourg government why after 4 years from the European Council vote, Luxembourg Parliament has still not voted on the Resolution calling for gender-parental equality in Luxembourg institutions.

The reasons behind the non-vote of the Luxembourg Parliament on the European Council Resolution 2079 remain a mystery, especially since the Resolution 2079 was initiated in 2015 by Ms. Françoise HETTO-GAASCH, Luxembourg politician (CSV), former Minister of Equal Opportunities between Woman & Men, past and present member of the Luxembourg Parliament.

FAD – Fathers Against Discrimination a.s.b.l. has corresponded with Ms. HETTO-GAASCH over the course of last months asking whether she as an initiator of the Resolution has ever raised a motion in the Luxembourg Parliament regarding the Resolution and whether she has ever called her colleagues from CSV and the members of the Luxembourg Parliament to vote on the Resolution. We are still waiting for the answer. 

FOLLOWING SEPARATION OF PARENTS EQUAL SHARED PARENTING – ALTERNATING RESIDENCE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION PROTECTING THE KIDS BY REMOVING POSSIBILITY FOR EITHER PARENT TO USE THEM AS AN INSTRUMENT OF BLACKMAIL. BEHAVIOR THAT IN SEVERE CASES CAN LEAD TO PARENTAL ALIENATION (PA)  AND DRASTIC EMOTIONAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN.
