The International Scientific Conference on Shared Parenting will be held in Málaga, Spain on December 2nd-3rd, 2019 at the Aula Magna of the School of Law of the University of Málaga. The theme of the conference is: Best Interest of the Child and Shared Parenting: an Interdisciplinary Study of the Effects of its Progressive Implementation. This year our guest country is the Philippines as we understand this event as an opportunity to open this Convention to the emerging Asian zone, especially to a country that is the best possible bridge between the Western and the Asian cultures.
The conference will present research results and professional practices from an interdisciplinary perspective (law, social science and psychology) on how vital both parents are in their children’s lives even after separation and divorce. The following points will be the object of analysis:
– Development of children under shared parenting after divorce or separation
– Socioeconomic profile of shared parenting
– Litigation after divorce or separation when a shared parenting measure has been imposed by a judge
– Impact of shared parenting legal or judicial presumptions on the proportion of judgements that adopt this measure
– Parental alienation and shared parenting
– Models of shared parenting
– Shared parenting in case of babies and toddlers
– Shared parenting when the relations between the parents are strained
The language of the conference will be English, however a simultaneous translation service Spanish-English will be available.
Registration is free and can be done on the conference webpage.

Venue: Aula Magna
The conference is structured along six sessions. Most of them are Interdisciplinary sessions where different matters will be analysed: Models of shared parenting (SP) and their incidence in the best interest of the child, SP in case of babies and toddlers, SP when the relations between the parents are strained, litigation rate after an SP decision, relation between the economic measures and SP in the settlement agreements or judicial decisions, socioeconomic profile of shared parenting or alternative dispute resolution on shared parenting. There will also be a legal session where the evolution or recent regulations in Western countries will be evaluated. Also for discussion is the
advisability of having presumptions in favour of sole or shared parenting.
International specialists in the field of shared parenting – representing both the academic sciences, and the legal and family professions – are invited to present their recent research results and professional practices at this interdisciplinary conference.
In parallel, the ICSP Conference Málaga 2019 call for papers kindled the interest of many scientists, professionals and members of civil society from around the world.

Abstracts of contributions can be submitted until 30 October 2019. Once the Scientific Committee will have received each abstract, its decision will be notified within the following 5 days. The abstracts can be submitted via the conference webpage.

Malaga is located beside the Mediterranean Sea in Andalucía, Spain. It has its own airport and is for this reason easily accessible by plane (for intercontinental flights via Madrid or Barcelona, the airport is 10-15 minutes from the city centre by train), train or bus. The Campus of the University of
Malaga can be reached within another 10-15 minutes from the city centre by metro or bus or within less than 20 minutes by taxi from the airport (at reasonable prices).
The Faculty building offers all that is needed – especially an unexpectedly well-equipped and pretty conference hall (ideal for the plenary sessions), rooms for the workshops, as well as a helpful and friendly staff. Cooking facilities and the faculty cafeteria are adjacent, so catering can easily be organized. Prices for hotels and additional programs (like the conference dinner) are low, compared to other European cities.
Last but not least, Malaga is a beautiful city. The home of 500,000 inhabitants has a lot to offer, as much from a cultural as from a culinary perspective. Furthermore, it is just a stone’s throw away from world class tourist attractions, such as the Alhambra in Granada (the world’s most visited tourist attraction), the Mezquita in Cordoba or the famous bridge of Ronda, just to mention a few. It would not be a surprise if some of the conference participants added a few days to their stay in Malaga to visit at least some of these sights.
