SUPPORTERS OF SHARED PARENTING LEGISLATION ARE ARGUING THEIR CASE AT THE STATE CAPITOL.
THE BILL CHANGES STATE LAW TO PRESUME THAT 50-50 PARENTING BETWEEN DIVORCED MOMS AND DADS IS WHAT’S BEST FOR CHILDREN. ADVOCATES SAY MEN DESERVE TO BE IN THEIR KIDS’ LIVES AS MUCH AS WOMEN DO…BUT CARRIE BOYD WITH THE ILLINOIS COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SAYS EQUAL TIME MAY NOT ALWAYS BE BEST.
MARK LUDWIG WITH AMERICANS FOR EQUAL SHARED PARENTING SAYS IT’S A COMMON SENSE MEASURE.
BILL SUPPORTERS NOTE THAT A JUDGE CAN AWARD MORE VISITATION TIME THAN 50 PERCENT TO EITHER PARENT IF CONCERNS WARRANT THAT ACTION.
