Fairy neff. I probably mis-interpreted the word "partnership" to mean a partnership between the parents, rather than a partnership between the child and its parent.
Even so, there are people who would be really annoyed if there was a compulsory legal tie between them and their parent. Agreed, said people are probably annoyed there's a biological link between them and their parent too, but this could make things worse for them. Yet a partnership that the child could end would lead to mad power games to bully the child into divorcing the parent if the parent did not want the partnership.
Do you envisage this partnership ending when the child hits 18?
