83% of women, 72% of men surveyed said they would be spending this holiday with their children

Divorcemag.com is running an online poll to ask if our visitors will be spending time with their children this coming holiday. The result so far indicates majority of the parents will be spending time with their children this holiday. You can read the poll here: http://www.divorcemag.com/poll_results.php

That is good news. I believe, children of divorce who can have the benefit of both parents and their extended family will have a fuller family experience. 

The result also shows that 80% of the mothers who answered the poll have the child/children of divorce most of the time vs 36% of the fathers who answered the poll. You may want to join our poll and tell us whether you think 50/50 child access between two parents should be the starting point of the law. You don’t have to be divorced to vote/voice our opinion.  Vote here: http://www.divorcemag.com/survey/quickpoll.shtml.

Should 50/50 custody be made the starting point for a divorce?

I am interested in knowing what you think about this topic: Should the law be such that 50/50 custody between parents is the starting point for a divorce settlement and it will be adjusted based on circumstances, such as abuse, work schedule etc.

Will you be spending time with your children this holiday season?

Holidays can be difficult for those who are divorced with children.  Questions like:

• which parent should the children spend the holiday with?
• what about spending time with the grantparents?
• can we work it out so that the children can spend time with both parents?

We’d like to find out what your plans are for this holiday season. Please let us know through our online poll:http://www.divorcemag.com/survey/quickpoll.shtml

I believe that if the parents are mature and civil, things can be worked out. There is still plenty of joy to spread around.
