Specifically, according to the recent court decision of the Single Member Court of First Instance (number 7121/2017) that temporarily and until the trial of the main decision, co-parental custody of miners will be exercised alternatively, the even months from the father and the only ones from the mother, with the right of communication by the non-custodial parent during this period.

The court decision comes at a time when the relevant legislative initiative is typically delayed, despite the recognition of its necessity even by government MPs.

For «an important step in the direction of joint custody and equal time of the child with both parents», the association spoke of «Co-parental care».

According to the officials of the Association, child-rearing cases are now geared towards “friendly justice, without litigation, with judicial mediation, less tensions, less tensions, more agreements, where everyone will win: child, mother, father, judges and lawyers, society as a whole. »

Also, according to the recent decision 60/2017 of the Single Member Court of First Instance of Athens, the court accepted a time-varying exercise of custody of a minor child 11-year-olds weighing months with one parent and single with the other. In fact, the fact that the temporary care was assigned to the mother until the discussion of the parties on both sides, did not prevent the father from taking over the final care of the child -following the main trial- for half months of the year. The judge even ruled, that the father’s decision to consent to the temporary custody of the mother, due to the young age of the child, not only did he not burden his position, but «demonstrates the maturity and seriousness of his intention to carry out his function responsibly.» That is, once again, a negative factor in the first place (as one would say it is a waiver of even temporary custody) is running, in view of specific circumstances, in such a positive, which ultimately leads to the final assignment of custody.
