Greece’s disputed joint custody law goes before parliament
Divorced fathers in Greece have their hopes pinned on new legislation granting them equal time with their children, but the proposed change faces a fierce backlash over domestic violence fears. Supporters say the bill corrects an injustice in a country where mothers are granted custody in almost all cases. But opposition parties and rights groups argue that it disregards the risk of domestic violence and could endanger victims.
