Japan's Diet has enacted a bill into law that paves the way for divorced parents to share custody of their children. The current system allows only either of the couple to exercise parental rights.

    I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn’t have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.
