This week's issue of TIME has an interesting article about new research revealing that men and women do about equal amounts of housework.
I was initially skeptical, but the researcher's larger point -- that more of today's fathers expect to -- and do -- take an active, equal role in parenting their children echoes what I have seen in my divorce practice. Many of my male clients have begun custody discussions by stating, "I want to have my children with me 50% of the time and I will not accept anything less." It is always admirable and encouraging to see parents committed to equal parenting of their children, even when they cannot live together anymore.
