Equality under the law is a uniquely American principle, one that no freedom-loving person would oppose, but the manner in which said principle is currently applied to the issue of child custody treats children as property — like pieces of furniture or bank accounts — rather than human beings with rights of their own, including the right to stable living conditions. When considering the issue of custody, domestic court judges often regard two divorcing parents who are equally responsible as deserving equal time with their kids. They rule, therefore, that the kids will spend 132 days a year with one parent and 133 days with the other but that custody during birthdays and holidays will alternate from year to year.
