Article: Children torn by divorce

This article in BC's Vernon Morning Star is notable just because of the issue is receiving attention.

Many of the points made about PAS are well known to us all.

I maintain that adoption of the current legislation before Parliament - Bill C422 - proposing an Equal Parenting Amendment to the Divorce Act would solve alot of the issues that enable PAS to flourish. The legal "winner take all" battle often encouraged by lawyers acting for both parties. They get paid no matter what. I read a comment about this article that concluded:
All of this should be attended, less by attorneys and more by psychologists and social workers who have the best interests of the child as their goal and the understanding that children generally fare better when raised by two biological parents.
I agree.
