23 days agoPreviously, divorcing couples in Japan were free to decide custody and visitation arrangements. But if they went to court over it, custody would only be awarded to one parent.
Under the new law, a family court can decide whether to grant sole or joint custody to divorcing couples.
Parents who divorced under the old system are also now eligible to have their custody arrangement reviewed by the family court.
That’s crazy, but I’m in fascist America, so who am I to talk.

I’m very quick to block. Much faster to do so than I was on Reddit. I think the reason is because there’s so much less content on Lemmy that I sort by new instead of “hot”. That means I see content that would normally have been downvoted out of sight on Reddit. I’m tired of giving people the benefit of the doubt just to see the same terrible shit from them again later on. Now I just block.
