I could not support something like that. "Equal" is hard to define, and may not always be possible or in the child's best interest.

I think the current language in the Divorce Act is "maximum contact" with both parents.

This report is closer to my views:

The CBA Section believes that any discussion of “parental rights” is misguided when resolving arrangements for children. The sole focus must be what is best for children.

The best interests of the child are not always met by exactly equal ongoing parental involvement.
