<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Pendant deux jours, 150 personnes venant de 24 pays se sont rassemblées dans une ambiance studieuse et amicale pour écouter les experts du champ de la résidence alternée – représentant à la fois les scientifiques et les professionnels de la famille – et pour échanger leurs expériences et leurs projets.</span></p>
<h2>Des experts internationaux de la résidence alternée</h2>
<p>Au cours de deux sessions plénières, ce sont 14 experts internationaux qui ont questionné la résidence alternée à partir de leurs recherches. Ces experts ont confronté leurs points de vue dans deux longues tables rondes qui ont permis de discuter avec le public.</p>
<p>Venu de Suisse, Jean Zermatten, Président du Comité des Droits de l’Enfant des Nations-Unies a fait le point sur la question de la parentalité au regard de la convention des Nations-Unies sur les droits de l’enfant.</p>
<p>Linda Nielsen, des USA, a comparé les effets de la résidence alternée et de la garde pleine sur les enfants en contrôlant deux variables :  le conflit et le revenu des parents.</p>
<p>William Fabricius, des USA, a présenté une recherche qui montre les répercussions positives de la résidence alternée des très jeunes enfants sur le lien aux deux parents lorsque ces enfants ont atteint l’âge adulte.</p>
<p>Patrick Parkinson, venu d’Australie, a abordé les difficultés liées au déménagement de l’un des parents.</p>
<p>Malin Bergstrom a détaillé le cas de la Suède, le pays où la résidence alternée est la norme.</p>
<p>Edward Kruk, du Canada, a traité de la question de l’aliénation parentale, qui reste une question vive et controversée.</p>
<p>Michael Lamb, de Grande-Bretagne, a proposé une analyse critique des recherches sur les effets du mode de résidence sur le bienêtre des enfants.</p>
<h2>Des chercheurs et des professionnels pour animer des ateliers</h2>
<p>En plus de ces 14 conférenciers, 32 chercheurs et professionnels interviendront au cours d’ateliers en parallèle. Venant d’Allemagne, d’Australie, de Belgique, du Canada, d’Espagne, de France, de Grande-Bretagne, de Grèce, d’Israël, d’Italie, d’Irlande, du Portugal, de Suède, de Suisse, de Turquie, des USA et même de Chine, ces intervenants ont donné un éclairage précieux à partir de plusieurs pays.</p>
<p>Ces ateliers ont traité de quatre questions : la parentalité, la résidence alternée, les modes d’intervention, notamment en médiation, et, enfin, de ce qui a trait aux politiques et à la justice familiales.</p>
<h2>Développer l’équilibre entre les femmes et les hommes</h2>
<p>Avant la conférence, les membres actifs d’ICSP et de NPO ont été accueillis par l’association des femmes en faveur de la résidence alternée (<a href="http://lw4sp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leading Women for Shared-Parenting</a>). Cette association défend l’idée que les enfants ont besoin de leurs deux parents même après leur séparation.</p>
<p>Plusieurs présentations ont concerné les questions des stéréotypes de genre. Le développement de la résidence alternée semble passer par ce travail de base. Cela consiste à faire en sorte que les pères ne soient pas seulement vus comme ceux qui ne s’intéressent qu’au football mais qu’ils prennent toute leur place dans l’éducation et le soin des enfants au quotidien. Cela consiste aussi à faire en sorte que les mères laissent la place aux pères dans le quotidien de l’éducation, même si ce père n’a pas les mêmes règles d’hygiène, de sécurité, etc. De nombreuses vidéos circulent sur internet pour montrer, souvent de manière humoristique ou un peu romantique, cet éventail des interactions entre les pères et leurs enfants.</p>
<h2>Alerter les instances internationales sur les risques liés à la garde pleine</h2>
<p>Dans la plupart des pays, à l’exception des pays nordiques, de trop nombreuses mères sont en situation de garde pleine et de trop nombreux pères ne sont que des visiteurs coupés de relations régulières avec leurs enfants. Cette situation est dommageable aux enfants.</p>
<p>Toutes les recherches récentes montrent que les enfants construisent des liens d’attachement aux deux parents dans la première année de leur vie. Ils peuvent aussi construire des liens à d’autres personnes, comme les éducatrices.teurs en crèche ou les grands-parents. Les décisions de justice qui conduisent à préférer confier la garde à la mère en cas de doute sur la capacité des parents à coopérer provoquent une fragilisation ou une rupture des liens d’attachement au père. Très souvent, comme le montre les recherches, cette rupture ne permet pas un développement harmonieux de l’enfant, sur les plans émotionnels et physiologiques.</p>
<p>Cette situation n’est pas conforme à l’esprit de la convention des Droits de l’Enfant des Nations-Unies. Elle n’est pas conforme non plus à la résolution 2079 (2015) de l’Assemblée Parlementaire du Conseil de l’Europe. Ces instances internationales devraient se mobiliser pour que, dans le monde entier, les enfants dont les parents se séparent ne soient pas désavantagés vis-à-vis des autres enfants à cause de représentations et d’habitudes anciennes.</p>
<h2>Plusieurs publications</h2>
<p>Un ensemble d’articles issus de cette dernière conférence ont été publiées en 2018 dans un numéro spécial de la revue <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wjdr20/59/4?nav=tocList" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Journal of Divorce and Remarriage</em></a> et dans le <em><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wjcc20/15/1?nav=tocList" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Journal of Child Custody</a>.</em></p>

<p>The Third International Conference on Shared Parenting recently concluded, co-sponsored by the National Parents Organization and the International Council on Shared Parenting. The theme of this year’s conference related to the concept of the “best interests of the child” in divorce, the source of protracted debate within both the academic and professional practice communities. Many years ago, Hilary Rodham, then a family lawyer, declared that children’s best interests are nothing more than an empty vessel into which adult prejudices are poured. Since that time, however, family scholars have taken a much more child-focused approach to the study of children’s needs and interests, a “best interests of the child from the perspective of the child” perspective.</p>
<p>Thus the question, “Have we reached a watershed in understanding the best interests of children in situations of family separation and divorce?,” was placed front and center during conference deliberations. Specifically, it was asked, have we reached the point where we can conclude with some confidence that the best interests of children are commensurate with a legal presumption of shared parenting responsibility for children and families, rebuttable in cases of family violence and child abuse? Are we at a point where the scientific evidence points in the direction of mandating that shared parenting becomes the foundation of family law?</p>

<h1 id="Co-Parenting_After_Divorce" class="showhide_heading">Co-Parenting After Divorce</h1>
<p>The Third International Conference on Shared Parenting recently concluded, co-sponsored by the National Parents Organization and the International Council on Shared Parenting. The theme of this year’s conference related to the concept of the “best interests of the child” in divorce, the source of protracted debate within both the academic and professional practice communities. Many years ago, Hilary Rodham, then a family lawyer, declared that children’s best interests are nothing more than an empty vessel into which adult prejudices are poured. Since that time, however, family scholars have taken a much more child-focused approach to the study of children’s needs and interests, a “best interests of the child from the perspective of the child” perspective.</p>
<p>Thus the question, “Have we reached a watershed in understanding the best interests of children in situations of family separation and divorce?,” was placed front and center during conference deliberations. Specifically, it was asked, have we reached the point where we can conclude with some confidence that the best interests of children are commensurate with a legal presumption of shared parenting responsibility for children and families, rebuttable in cases of family violence and child abuse? Are we at a point where the scientific evidence points in the direction of mandating that shared parenting becomes the foundation of family law?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 id="Conference_Conclusions" class="showhide_heading">Conference Conclusions</h2>
<p>1. As shared parenting has been recognized by the research community, as well as by legal and mental health practitioners, as a viable post-separation parenting arrangement that is optimal to child development and well-being, there is consensus that both the legal and psycho-social implementation of shared parenting as a presumption should proceed without delay, with the full sanction and support of professional bodies and associations.</p>
<p>2. As shared parenting encompasses both shared parental authority (decision-making) and shared parental responsibility for the day-to-day upbringing and welfare of children, between fathers and mothers, in keeping with children’s age and stage of development, there is consensus that legal implementation of shared parenting, including both the assumption of shared responsibilities and presumption of shared rights in regard to the parenting of children by fathers and mothers who are living together or apart, be enshrined in law.</p>
<p>3. As shared parenting is recognized as the most effective means for both reducing high parental conflict and preventing first-time family violence, there is consensus that legal and psycho-social implementation of shared parenting as a presumption should proceed with the goal of reducing parental conflict after separation. There is further consensus that legal and psycho-social implementation of shared parenting as a presumption be encouraged for high conflict families in particular, with the full sanction and support of professional bodies and associations.</p>
<p>4. There is a consensus that the above apply to the majority of children and families, but not to situations of substantiated family violence and child abuse. In such cases, a rebuttable presumption against shared parenting should apply. There is a consensus that the priority for further research on shared parenting should focus on the intersection of child custody and family violence, including child maltreatment in all its forms. There is further consensus that a priority for both the scientific and the legal and mental health practice communities should be the development of legal statutes and practice guidelines with respect to safety measures in cases of established family violence.</p>
<p>5. As there is mounting evidence that shared parenting can both prevent parental alienation, and is a potential remedy for existing situations of parental alienation in separated families, there is consensus that further exploration of the viability of a legal presumption of shared parenting in situations of parental alienation be undertaken.</p>
<p>6. As therapeutic and mediation services are vital to the success of shared parenting arrangements, there is a consensus that an accessible network of family relationship centres that offer family mediation and other relevant support services are critical components of any effort toward legislative and psychosocial implementation of shared parenting. We call on governments to establish such networks as a necessary adjunct to the establishment of a legal presumption of shared parenting.</p>
<p>7. We call on member states to fully adopt the Council of Europe Resolution of 2 October 2015. In particular, we call on member states to adopt the following provisions:<br />
5.5. Introduce into their laws the principle of shared residence following a separation.<br />
5.9. Encourage and develop mediation within the framework of judicial proceedings in family cases involving children.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La deuxième conférence, en décembre 2015, à Bonn, a discuté des meilleures pratiques<br />
pour le développement, aux niveaux législatif et psycho-social, de la résidence alternée.</p>
<h2 id="Conference_Conclusions" class="showhide_heading">Conference Conclusions</h2>
<ol>
<li>La résidence alternée ayant été reconnue – par le secteur de la recherche ainsi que par les praticiens du droit et de la santé mentale – comme une entente parentale viable après la séparation qui est optimale pour le développement et le bien-être de l&#8217;enfant, il y a consensus sur l&#8217;application juridique et psychosociale de la résidence alternée comme première option, sans délai, avec la pleine approbation et le soutien des associations et des organismes professionnels.</li>
<li>Étant donné que la résidence alternée englobe à la fois le partage de l&#8217;autorité parentale (prise de décisions) et le partage de la responsabilité parentale pour l&#8217;éducation et le bien-être quotidiens des enfants, entre le père et la mère, en fonction de l&#8217;âge et du stade de développement des enfants, il y a consensus pour que l&#8217;application juridique de la résidence alternée, notamment l&#8217;acceptation du partage et de la présomption des droits en matière d&#8217;exercice du rôle parental par les mères et pères qui vivent ensemble ou séparément, soient inscrites dans la loi.</li>
<li>La résidence alternée étant considérée comme le moyen le plus efficace à la fois de réduire le nombre élevé de conflits parentaux et de prévenir la violence familiale ponctuelle, il y a consensus pour que la mise en œuvre juridique et psycho-sociale de la résidence alternée en tant que présomption poursuive l&#8217;objectif de réduction du risque de conflit parental après la séparation. Il existe également un consensus sur le fait que la mise en œuvre juridique et psycho-sociale de la résidence alternée en tant que présomption devrait être encouragée pour les familles très conflictuelles en particulier, avec la pleine approbation et le soutien des associations et des organismes professionnels</li>
<li>Il existe un consensus sur le fait que ce qui précède s&#8217;applique à la majorité des enfants et des familles, mais pas aux situations de violence familiale et de maltraitance infantile avérées. Dans de tels cas, une présomption réfutable contre la résidence alternée devrait s&#8217;appliquer. Il existe un consensus sur le fait que la priorité des recherches futures sur la résidence alternée devrait être centrée sur l&#8217;intersection de la garde des enfants et de la violence familiale, y compris la maltraitance des enfants sous toutes ses formes. De plus, il existe un consensus sur le fait que l’élaboration de statuts juridiques et de directives de pratique concernant les mesures de sécurité dans les cas de violence familiale établie devrait constituer une priorité pour les milieux de la pratique scientifique, juridique et de la santé mentale.</li>
<li>Comme de plus en plus d&#8217;éléments prouvent que la résidence alternée peut à la fois prévenir l&#8217;aliénation parentale et constituer un remède potentiel aux situations d&#8217;aliénation parentale existantes dans des familles séparées, il y a consensus pour que soit entreprise une plus ample exploration de la viabilité d&#8217;une présomption légale de résidence alternée dans les situations d&#8217;aliénation parentale.</li>
<li>Les services thérapeutiques et de médiation étant essentiels au succès des accords de résidence alternée, il est généralement admis qu&#8217;un réseau accessible de centres de relations familiales offrant une médiation familiale et d&#8217;autres services de soutien pertinents constitue un élément essentiel de tout effort de mise en œuvre législative et psychosociale de la résidence alternée. Nous appelons les gouvernements à mettre en place de tels réseaux, indispensables à l&#8217;instauration d&#8217;une présomption légale de la résidence alternée.</li>
<li>Nous appelons les États membres à adopter pleinement la résolution du Conseil de l&#8217;Europe<br />
du 2 octobre 2015. Nous appelons en particulier les États membres à adopter les dispositions suivantes: 1/. Introduire dans leurs lois le principe de la résidence partagée après une séparation.2/. Encourager et développer la médiation dans le cadre des procédures judiciaires dans les affaires familiales impliquant des enfants.</p>

<p>Bonn, Germany, 23 December 2015.</p>
<p>The International Conference on Shared Parenting on 9-11 December 2015 in Bonn, Germany, with about 120 participants from 20 countries and 3 continents gathered scholars, practitioners and representatives of civil society interested in the emerging paradigm of shared parenting in families in which parents are living apart. The conference was jointly chaired by the President of the International Council on Shared Parenting (ICSP), Prof. Edward Kruk, Canada, and Prof. Dr. jur. Hildegund Sünderhauf, Lutheran University Nuremberg, Germany.</p>
<p>According to Prof. Edward Kruk, this second International Conference on Shared Parenting constituted a significant advance from the first ICSP conference a year ago. “Whereas the first conference focused on bridging the gap between empirical evidence and socio-legal practice, the second conference moved toward the implementation of shared parenting in both law and mental health practice. We are witnessing a major paradigm shift globally in the acceptance of shared parenting as necessary to ensuring that the best interests of children are addressed, and the time has come for us to take responsibility to act and implement shared parenting on a broader global scale.”</p>
<p>Prof. Hildegund Sünderhauf, Chair of the Scientific Committee of ICSP underlined that “the conference has clearly shown the tremendous amount of positive scientific results towards shared parenting. There is clear evidence that this family form can help children after separation and divorce of their parents in many cases.”</p>
<p>Dr. Chantal Clot-Grangeat, Clinical Psychologist and Vice-President of ICSP confirmed: “Family professionals should adapt the evidence of scientific research into their daily work with families in the context of separation, providing the chance of deescalating family disputes at an early stage.”</p>
<p>Oliver Hunziker, Vice-President of ICSP and representative of civil society, stated that “based on this evidence and the recent Resolution 2079 of the Council of Europe on equality and shared parental responsibility, presented at the conference by the initiator of the resolution, Françoise Hetto-Gaasch, politicians from all countries should now take action and change their laws accordingly.”</p>
<p>The follow-up International Conference on Shared Parenting is tentatively scheduled for 2017 in Boston, USA.</p>
<p>The International Conference on Shared Parenting 2015 was supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), a major German research funding organization,<br />
and the Lutheran University Nuremberg.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Les pratiques de mise en place juridique et psychosociale de la résidence alternée Le Conseil International de la Résidence Alternée soutient la résolution 2079 adoptée]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Les pratiques de mise en place juridique et psychosociale de la résidence alternée</strong></h3>
<p>Le Conseil International de la Résidence Alternée soutient la résolution 2079 adoptée le 2 octobre 2015 par le Conseil de l’Europe sur la responsabilité parentale égalitaire et partagée.</p>
<p>La Conférence Internationale de la Résidence Alternée ­s’est déroulée du 9 au 11 décembre 2015 à Bonn, en Allemagne. Elle a rassemblé cent vingt participants venus de vingt pays et de trois continents. Ces chercheurs, ces praticiens et ces représentants de la société civile se sont intéressés à l’émergence du principe de la résidence alternée dans les familles dont les parents vivent séparés. La conférence a été animée conjointement par le professeur Edward Kruk (Canada), président du Conseil International de la Résidence Alternée (CIRA/ICSP), et par la professeure Hildegund Sünderhauf, de l’Université protestante de Nuremberg (Allemagne).</p>
<p>Selon le Pr. Edward Kruk, cette seconde conférence internationale sur la résidence alternée représente une avancée significative par rapport à la première conférence tenue il y a un an. « Alors que la première conférence avait mis l’accent sur la réduction de l’écart entre les preuves empiriques tirées de la recherche et les pratiques sociales et légales, la seconde conférence s’est concentrée sur la mise en place de la résidence alternée à la fois du point de vue législatif et psychologique. Nous assistons à un changement majeur et global de paradigme concernant la mise en place de la résidence alternée comme nécessaire pour assurer que l’intérêt supérieur des enfants est pris en compte. Il est temps pour nous de prendre la responsabilité d’agir pour mettre en place la résidence alternée à une échelle plus large et plus globale. »</p>
<p>La professeure Hildegund Sünderhauf, présidente du comité scientifique, souligne que « la conférence a clairement montré l’importante somme de résultats scientifiques en faveur de la résidence alternée. Il y a des preuves nettes que cet arrangement familial peut aider les enfants après la séparation et le divorce de leurs parents dans de nombreux cas. »</p>
<p>La docteure Chantal Clot-Grangeat, psychologue clinicienne et vice-présidente du CIRA, confirme que « les professionnels de la famille devraient tenir compte des résultats des recherches scientifiques dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes auprès des familles séparées afin de réduire les conflits familiaux dès les premières phases de la séparation. »</p>
<p>Oliver Hunziker, vice-président du CIRA et représentant de la société civile, déclare que « en se fondant sur les résultats de recherche et sur la récente résolution de 2079 du conseil de l’Europe sur la responsabilité parentale égalitaire et partagée qui a été présentée à la conférence par Françoise Hetto-Gaasch, l’initiatrice de cette résolution, les responsables politiques de tous les pays devraient maintenant agir et modifier leur législation en conséquence. »</p>
<p>La prochaine conférence du CIRA devrait avoir lieu en 2017, à Boston, USA.</p>
<p>La conférence 2015 a été soutenue par la Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), une importante institution allemande de soutien à la recherche et par l&#8217;université protestante de Nuremberg.</p>
