MPR Interviews Bix on Joint Custody Legislation

Professor Brian Bix was interviewed by Minnesota Public Radio about a legislation proposal that would effectively create a presumption that children should spend significant amounts of time each week with both parents (as contrasted with more traditional divisions, under which the children were usually with one parent most of the time, with the other parent seeing the children usually only on weekends, holidays, and in the summer). The proposed legislation would make an exception for cases of domestic abuse, and other cases where it could be shown that one parent posed a danger to the children.
