I'll kick it off.
The ones that come to mind immediately, of course, are domestic violence, mental health, people who are feeling so angry at the time of the separation, so hurt and whatever. It doesn't mean that they won't gradually move toward a more co-operative type of thing, but at the time of separation, they are demoralized. Children with very high special needs, parents who travel extensively, people who don't live in the same community, people who have already started another relationship.... Automatically, that's a red file for me. If they've already started a relationship or within the first year, they're not going to get along well and they're not going to accept that other person. Maybe by the second, third or fourth year they will be in a better state to do that, but usually there's so much animosity.
I think that special needs kids, kids who don't have an experience of a really close relationship with a parent—the parent lacks parenting skills or they're just not particularly interested in being a parent.... There are all of those types of people. When people do show an interest and are involved with their children, they end up with—if not an equal shared—a parenting arrangement that reflects their availability and their ability to meet their children's needs.
