For the 12th year running, on Fathers’ Day, fathers organized a protest in the centre of Sofia to demand equal rights in parenting after divorce. They demanded amendments to the Family Code aimed at shared parenting so that children can also live with their fathers.

“The point of shared parenting is to introduce mandatory rules what will not allow one of the parents to dominate, and the conflict between them to determine where the child will be,” explained lawyer Karlo Lukanov. He said further that the parents of separated children must have the right to bring them up for equal periods of time, as has already been introduced in many countries.

More than 50,000 mothers and fathers in this country and as many children are suffering from parental alienation, said Slavi Nestorov, founder of the Shared Parenting foundation which organized the protest.
