shared residency

Read a random definition: strict constructionism

A quick definition of shared residency:

Shared residency, also known as joint custody, is when both parents share the responsibility for taking care of their child. This means that both parents have a say in important decisions about the child's life, like where they go to school and what kind of medical treatment they receive. Sometimes one parent has the child more often than the other, but both parents still work together to raise the child. This is different from sole custody, where only one parent has control over these decisions. A court may make a custody determination to decide which parent will have custody of the child.

A more thorough explanation:

Shared residency is a term used in family law to describe a custody arrangement where both parents share the responsibility for and authority over the child at all times, although one parent may exercise primary physical custody. This is also known as joint custody.

For example, if a mother has custody during the school year, and the father has custody during the summer vacation, this is a shared residency arrangement. In most jurisdictions, there is a presumption that joint custody is in the child's best interests, unless there is so much animosity between the parents that the child will be adversely affected.

Shared residency involves both parents consulting and sharing equally in the child's upbringing and decision-making about upbringing. This means that both parents have rights, privileges, and responsibilities, although physical custody is usually given to one parent.

Overall, shared residency is a way for both parents to remain involved in their child's life and upbringing, even after a divorce or separation.

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
