A step in the right direction (Score:1) by klp on 03:11 PM February 24th, 2006 EST (#1) Dittohd is right. The fact that this bill is even introduced is a good sign. Remember that Chinese cliche: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

A Trend? (Score:1) by Davidadelong on 10:00 PM February 24th, 2006 EST (#2) First Italy, then New York! Perhaps there is a trend starting. Any legislation that pushes EQUAL RIGHTS is good legislation. But then again we need to deal with the controling forces of the communities as well. Anybody ever read most of the laws, and see how they are interpreted by the "guardians" of the People?

Standard of proof (Score:1) by Yanyan on 03:18 AM February 25th, 2006 EST (#3) "Under the legislation, courts would be required to award joint custody unless something were brought to light to prove such an arrangement would be detrimental to the children. That fact would have to be proved by the party seeking sole custody." So I suppose we can look forward to a lot more false accusations of 'abuse'.
