zorg- en opvoedingstaken child care and parental responsibilities

Explanation:
I know it flows better if you omit the word "care", and that the latter implies the former, but I think it should be left in the translation, as there is a slight difference in meaning between parenting (parental responsibilities) and caring (care responsibilities).

"een gelijke verdeling van de zorg- en opvoedingstaken tussen beide ouders"
=
"an equal sharing of child care and parental responsibilities between both parents"
