Making sense out of uncertainty: cognitive strategies in the child custody decision-making process.

Child custody cases post-parental separation entail inherent complexities and uncertainties for legal experts and decision-makers, and are influenced by context factors. This study sheds light on how legal actors (i.e., judges, prosecutors, lawyers, psychologists, and social workers) navigate the uncertainties that arise in such context and, therefore, make their decisions. Based on a reflexive thematic analysis involving 73 participants from Brazil and England, this study reveals cognitive strategies employed by legal actors to comprehend uncertainty and operate in the decision-making context. These strategies encompass heuristics (i.e., selection, evaluation, degrees of freedom, and outsourcing decisions/ resolution) and metacognitive strategies (custodial arrangements, professional practices and 'best interests of the child' speech). These results provide a window into the decision-making processes in child custody cases; they offer a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted sensemaking strategies employed by legal professionals. The results carry substantial implications for informing and improving legal practice in handling complex child custody situations. Furthermore, this study charts new paths for future research by highlighting potential avenues for refining and advancing the strategies employed by legal experts in these cases, especially considering the child's best interests.

Interparental Conflict and Children’s Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Four Residence Arrangements

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between residence arrangements and depressive and anxiety symptoms from children’s perspective and the moderating role of interparental conflict. The sample included 454 children from families recruited from family counselling offices across Norway. Mixed effects regression models assessed the association between four residence groups – symmetric shared, asymmetric shared, extended sole, and limited sole – and children’s mental health symptoms. Findings indicate that children in different residence arrangements generally displayed similar levels of mental health symptoms, except those in asymmetric shared residence reported fewer depressive symptoms compared to those in limited sole residence. Higher interparental conflict was associated with increased anxiety symptoms, particularly in symmetric shared residence. These results suggest that shared residence may not always be in the child's best interest when there are high levels of interparental conflict. The study reveals variations within the traditional categorizations of “shared” and “sole” residence, highlighting the importance of nuanced differentiation.

The practical implications can be applied in designing family education programs and science learning strategies for early childhood that are appropriate to the development of AI technology.

A Critical Review of Bangladesh's Child Labor Regulations and Policies

Child labor remains widespread in Bangladesh. The country has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the ILO's Minimum Age Convention, and the Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention. The government has developed a legal and policy framework to eliminate all forms of child labor by 2025. This paper examines the country's pertinent national regulations, policies, and programs to identify discrepancies and gaps. The author appraised a variety of government documents, including laws, rules, policies, and reports, as well as emerging evidence. The results indicate that the country's legal and policy framework is comprehensive and well-aligned with its long-term development plans. Institutional bodies collaborate to implement and monitor these policies and programs designed to reduce child labor. Nonetheless, a few significant gaps render the framework insufficient, inconsistent, and ineffective. The government has not yet ratified several important conventions. The application of the Labor Act of 2006 is primarily restricted to the formal sectors, whereas most of the hazardous child labor occurs in the informal agricultural and domestic work sectors. In many cases, the absence of birth registration documents renders the determination of a child's age arbitrary. Emerging evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situation and that dangerous child labor is on the rise in urban areas. However, the current framework lacks legal provisions regarding hazardous child labor, and government support programs are inadequate. The government must review its policies and develop programs in collaboration with communities to protect children's best interests.
