The introduction of the so-called automatic shared parenting will affect over half a million children, sociologist Donna Picard announced at a press conference on the topic “Mandatory shared parenting – a dangerous experiment with Bulgaria’s children”. If the bills are adopted, children will spend an equal amount of time with both parents after their separation.

According to lawyer Raina Avramova, shared parenting is the best form of raising a child in cases of favourable circumstances. She pointed out that the legislation aims to regulate shared parenting in cases of conflict in the family.

“When parents do not have a conflict with each other, they will be able to reach an agreement on who will exercise parental rights. An attempt to overturn this presumption would lead to more conflict situations from which children directly suffer,” the lawyer said.
