There is one proven method for happier kids, more involved dads, and less stressed-out moms after divorce—50/50 custodyIt's hard for everyone when parents split up—but the end of living together doesn't need to mean the end of a functional family. Part of the reason divorces are so traumatic for the kids involved is because of our child custody system, which truly sets everyone up for failure. Throughout the country, the default arrangement is for Mom to get majority time with the kids (and most of the responsibility of caring for them), for Dad to become an occasional visitor (and perhaps saddled with massive child support payments), and for the kids to lose the stability, structure and confidence of knowing they have two equally committed, loving parents. But it doesn't have to be this way!In The 50/50 Solution, creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community Emma Johnson showcases the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in a family where the adults no longer live together. The 50/50 Solution will show you that equal parenting time leads to:Better physical, emotional, and mental health for children of divorceHigher career earnings for single mothersFathers who are more engaged and whose rights as parents are preservedFar less parental and legal conflictA progressive, forward-thinking cultural norm that promotes gender and racial equality for all families, regardless of their configurationA few states have already adopted 50/50 custody as the default arrangement, and several more are poised to follow. Equal parenting time is the custody framework of the future, and The 50/50 Solution shows readers how it helps our families and communities thrive.

Decarbonisation of the energy sector is critical to achieving the emissions reductions required to meet the Paris Agreement climate change goals. However, the sector must balance increasing energy demand with the need to achieve sustainability of energy supply, the importance of which has been accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, which have added an energy security imperative. Traditional dependence on fossil fuels needs to be replaced with new technologies – and renewable energy sources are central to the transition. The increase in renewable energy capacity globally, and its complexities, give rise to a wide range of potential disputes. International arbitration has long been the preferred dispute resolution forum for the energy sector and is well placed to be the preferred process for dispute resolution in renewables projects. The second edition of this Special Report considers: •the defining characteristics of renewables projects; •the scope for disputes to arise in the implementation of these projects, including a discussion of the elements of renewable energy projects that give rise to disputes between investors, states and commercial parties; •the common contractual protections that can be used to address disputes risk; •the suitability of arbitration to resolve disputes, the key considerations for parties negotiating arbitration agreements, and how arbitral procedures might be adapted for effectiveness; and •potential future renewable energy dispute trends, including as a consequence of the recent spate of EU member state withdrawals from the energy Charter Treaty, and as the effects of various geopolitical events continue to be felt. Written for both a legal and non-legal audience, this Special Report is relevant to those interested in learning about the scope for disputes in the renewables sector, how they can be avoided, and how arbitration can best be deployed to prevent delay, resolve disputes and help push the energy transition forward.
