Perhaps I can say one thing about that.
For sure, individualized justice is the way to go with parenting. There's no question about that. The research you want to look at is Joan Kelly's, Dr. Lamb's, Professor Austin's and Marsha Kline Pruett's. You want to look at all of that stuff.
But beware of jargon. For example, Dr. Kelly talks about “shared parenting”. She's in California. That means 30% to 35% of the time in California. Here it means 40% of the time. You have to be aware of those nuances and differences.
I think in that particular proposed section...maximize time “consistent with the best interests” has been around a long time. I think it's the right way to go, because it does say consistent with the child's best interests. You can't read it without that. Changing the title of that proposed section makes sense because it is a little misleading. Most judges in Manitoba—I can't speak about elsewhere—certainly understand that to be the case. It's consistent with the child's best interests, which of course will evolve over time.
High conflict is challenging, because sometimes people—men or women—create high conflict on purpose and then use that as a sword. You have to be aware of that. That can be very problematic.
