New Child Custody Bill Worth Supporting

2/15/2017

0 Comments

 

Great news!  Bipartisanship legislation introduced to protect children’s relationships with both parents.
A bill known as the “Children’s Equal Access Act” has been filed as Senate Bill 186 (“SB 186”).  In general terms, what does SB 186 do?

The Children’s Equal Access Act (SB 186) is a bill that incorporates research-based recommendations from the Alabama Law Institute Family Law Standing Committee, as well as research-based conclusions from the 40 studies and consensus of over 100 social scientists regarding child custody. The 40 studies and 112 experts conclude that “shared parenting should be the norm for parenting plans for children of all ages of fit parents. The scientific data has conclusively shown that shared parenting produces better outcomes for children (success in life) compared to our currently utilized “standard visitation”.
