Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by "make co-parenting law".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, for example a change to the law to give equal parental rights to mothers and fathers, if that's something you'd like to happen.
