	Shared Parenting after Separation
		Shared parenting, in providing for a combination of "time off" and enhanced involvement in child-care, helps to overcome the problem of mothers feeling overwhelmed by sole responsibility for children and fathers feeling excluded from their children's lives (Folberg and Graham, 1981).
		Contraindications to shared parenting include the inability to care for children mentally, emotionally or physically, the physical, emotional or sexual abuse of the children or spouse, significant substance abuse, intractable hostility between the spouses, and an expressed desire of both parents for a sole parenting arrangement.
		Cooperative shared parenting is a post-separation parenting arrangement comprising two essential elements: both parents retain an active parenting role and decision-making authority with respect to their children, and both have successfully negotiated the task of separating their previous marital conflicts from their ongoing parental responsibilities.
