What the petition asks
The Child Maintenance Service deems that 52 nights of contact per year is "sharing the care" of the children. This equates to 14% of all nights in a year. This is not quality time or sharing. It is insulting to resident parents. Increase the lowest threshold for "Shared Care" to 104 nights a year.
