Support California Shared Parenting Bill AB 1307

His Side has launched a campaign supporting the California Shared Parenting Alliance's AB 1307, the California Shared Parenting bill.

AB 1307 will clarify California law and create a clear presumption that parents equally share in the responsibility of joint custody of their children unless there is clear evidence that it would not be in the children's best interest.

California children of divorce often see one of the two people they love most in the world pushed to the margins of their lives. AB 1307 protects children's relationship with both parents by making it clear that parents come before the family law court with equal rights to and responsibilities for their children.

The current system creates unnecessary litigation and added conflict between parents as they jockey to position themselves in the most favorable light for the court. By equally respecting the bonds children share with each of their parents, AB 1307 encourages co-parenting and cooperation between divorced couples.

Research clearly establishes that shared custody creates better outcomes for children emotionally, educationally, and financially. CSPA believes that in most cases children's interests are best served when their rights to have a relationship with both parents is protected.
