New Divorce Laws

-Both of the divorced get an equal share of material property.
-Material property will not be argued over unless outside of court and outside of the justice system.
-Each material possession's name will be written on a piece of paper and put into a device that will shuffle them at random. Each belligerent will blindly take a possession name out of the shuffle device, and will now legally own it for themselves.
-The latter will not apply to possessions which were owned prior to marriage by a single belligerent.
-If mental disorder is the grounds upon which one parent wishes to have full custody of any offspring, the disorder must be of a nature that may endanger the well being of the children, and the disorder must be medically as well as psychologically proven prior to divorce trial.
-Unless the latter is proven, both parents must agree on equal amounts of time to be in custody of of the children, unless one parent wishes for less time, and the other agrees to the reduced time.
-Unless both parents agree, neither parent can leave municipal or provincial boundaries well in custody of the children.
-If one parent decides/needs to leave municipal, provincial, or international boundaries while the children are in there custody, they must allow the other parent to have custody for there duration of absence, unless otherwise decided by both parents, in which case the children will be put in the care of a certified and qualified guardian.
-If two individuals have a child, yet aren't married, the rules of children during divorce will still apply during separation.
-If two individuals have been engaged in a romantic relationship while living together and sharing possessions for over 3 years, yet were never never married, the property laws of divorce will still apply.
-All divorce laws apply to same-sex couples as long as they live together or have adopted a child, whether they are married or not.
-Shared residences are not to be an article of property included in the Property Possession Shuffle.
-During divorce, shared residences must be sold by both belligerents, unless previously owned by one belligerent prior to marriage, or unless both belligerents agree to one belligerent paying the leaving belligerent the difference in the amount of the housing purchase; otherwise, both belligerents are required to find new housing.
-Alimony will not be paid by or to either party. Only child support will apply.
-If a restraining order has been issued by one belligerent against the other, it will not apply when the custody of children is being exchanged, unless a dangerous mental disorder in one belligerent has been proven prior.
-If, collectively, both belligerents share possession of an uneven amount of property (ex: 7 pieces of property, in which one belligerent would otherwise get 1 more article of property than the other), the belligerents will be given 2 options: 1: sell the piece of property to the state for the price it was purchased, regardless of damage (unless utterly severe) and split the amount of financial gain equally, or 2: one belligerent gains the consent of the other to pay them the difference in price of purchase (once again, regardless of damage unless severe).
All material possessions purchased by the state will be used by the state in any way the state sees fit.
-Cost of a child's schooling and school-related materials will be split evenly between both parties, as well as any medical expenses.
-If both parents share different religious beliefs (ex: one is a Christian and the other is an Atheist) neither will be allowed to push there religious beliefs on the children. The children may make an informed decision on there own.
-Once a child turns 18, the jurisdiction of divorce law becomes entirely obsolete.
-When a child turns 14, they may choose to stay full time, or spend more time, with a single parent if they so wish. If they decide to stay full time with one parent, that parent may now leave the municipal area (whether to move, or simply go on vacation) without the consent of the other parent. HOWEVER: the parent may not leave the province or country with the children without signed permission from the other parent.
-The parent who does not have custody of the child will continue to pay child support. However, the amount paid may be cut in half if there is only one child, and the parent with full custody makes over $50,000 annually (after deductions).
-The parent without custody may appeal for custody for one weekend every month (that would be involuntary on the child's part) until the child turns 16, at which point the child can make the decision to no longer allow the One Weekend Policy to apply. Otherwise, visiting is voluntary on the childs part of any time agreed to by both the child and the parent without custody, despite any conflicting wishes of the parent with full custody.
-No parent may preach hateful things to the children, whether it be about the other parent, ot about personal opinion regarding peoples of different race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual preference.
