I tend to disagree with parts and agree vehemently with other parts of what my friend said.
I don't think it will be a problem with any of the Hagues. We certainly canvassed that with the Department of Justice before we raised the very issue. We were assured that wasn't the case. We've spoken to experts on Hague. It's a unique little area of the law, and the general consensus was that it wouldn't be a problem.
I am completely supportive of the notion of education broadly. On the idea of changing to “parenting time”, people don't know now what “custody” means. They have no idea. They come in and say, “I want custody.” What does that mean? They describe a different type of regime. The truth is, if my wife and I were separated, she could have sole custody and I could have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What does it mean? Major decisions would be made in a different way, but really, they're empty boxes.
The idea of reducing conflict by having parenting arrangements and what have you is a positive step forward, and I don't think it interferes with Hague.
