Shared parenting could be new divorce outcome

Advocates say children are better served when spending equal time with both parents. A growing number of state lawmakers are examining child custody laws amid a push from advocates who argue that divorcing parents should share equal custody. There are three major reasons for the increasing interest in shared parenting laws, said Ned Holstein, the founder of the National Parents Organization, a group that supports shared parenting. First, gender roles have converged, and more men are caretakers. Second, polls show that large majorities of Americans support the concept of shared custody. Third, the movement has, in part, been fueled by the fact that over the last 30 years, courts have given custodial parents more powers, Holstein said, leaving non-custodial parents frustrated and energizing a backlash.

The Value Of A Home!

Foster care in the news: "... it is impossible to address the foster care problem without tackling broader issues of Our Corrupt Family Court's, drug abuse, sexual abuse, and poverty." Thanks to all of you who braved the rain last night to come celebrate the Foster Youth Bill of Rights (SB123) with us! It was a really special event and we were so excited to hear from guest speaker Lynn Tiede (from the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative) about the impact of positive youth development programs like Oregon Foster Youth Connection on building resilience in the adolescent brain. "No young person is a lost cause," she said. We couldn't agree more! Thanks also to our youth speakers Sam and Deedee. You guys rocked! Last Friday Wall Street Journal editor James Taranto tackled head on several of the feminist 'myths' about children and poverty. Pointing out how children in the care of their fathers are less likely to end up on welfare roles.
