FAD – Fathers Against Discrimination asbl “Both parents for All Children” has been created to become a platform of dialog to promote gender equality of chance for both parents, to stop violation of children’s rights, to assure their well-being, to raise awareness of gender inequality and expose parental discrimination in Luxembourg courts.

Our goal is to bring attention to the outdated Luxembourg Family Law especially with regards to divorce and the rights of each parent during custody hearings of the children.

Despite the recent changes in the Luxembourg Civil Code introduced on 1 November 2018, described and presented to the public as “revolutionary”, Equal Shared Parenting – Alternating Residence (Résidence Alternée) is still not a default rule and rarely introduced in Luxembourg during children’s custody proceedings. The legislators and judges in most cases remain immune to the evidence provided by over 40 years of empirical studies, scientific conclusions and consensus among internationally recognized psychologists confirming that Equal Shared Parenting – Alternating Residence (Résidence Alternée) is the most effective model bringing emotional stability to children during separation and after divorce of their parents.

Equal Shared Parenting – Alternating Residence (Résidence Alternée) after separation can and should be introduced in Luxembourg as the default law in the best interest of children.

The model may not resolve every issue parents deal with when separating but it protects the children by removing the possibility for either parent to use them as an instrument of blackmail. Behavior that in severe cases can lead leading in more severe cases to Parental Alienation (PA) and a drastic emotional abuse of children.
