 (b) the order provides (or is to provide) that a child's parents are to have equal shared parental responsibility for the child;
the court may, but is not required to, consider the matters referred to in paragraphs (1)(a) to (c) or (if applicable) the matters referred to in paragraphs (2)(c) to (e).
