Instaurer le principe de présomption de résidence alternée pour les enfants de parents séparés

This French bill, a private member's proposal (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature, would establish a legal presumption that children of separated parents should live in alternating residence, meaning time is shared roughly equally between both parents. A presumption would make equal shared custody the default starting point for courts, unless a reason against it is shown. The change would mainly affect separated or divorcing parents with children in France, and the courts that rule on custody arrangements. Judges would need to justify departures from equal shared residence. The metadata alone does not show the exact wording, exemptions, or how child support would be handled.
