What happened to the Child's Interests in Denmark?af Pia Deleuran

In October 2013 the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament approved a working document on a fact-finding visit to Denmark regarding child custody and visitation rights stating that the Act on Parental Responsibility Act has the possibility of creating perverse effects in cases with an abusive parent. By focusing on several different aspects of the law, the book illustrates the problematic dynamics of the current Act relevant for other nations to consider in order to prevent situations like the Danish to develop.
The problems are illustrated by testimonies of high-conflict cases from real life where the Act had severe and negative effects for children and their mothers.
