(32,886 posts)Here is an Arizona bill that moves toward equal and shared parenting http://www.azleg.gov/DocumentsForBill.asp?Bill_Number=SB1127&Session_ID=107 . Britain also has an equal and shared parenting bill going through parliament and several other states in the US have bills pending.
Here is the Massachusetts bill currnetly moving through committee http://www.fathersandfamilies.org/2011/03/27/update-ma-shared-parenting-bill-moved-to-more-favorable-committee/
New Jersey has implemented a plan where children who spend more than 108 days a year with the 'non-custodial parent' results in a requirement for less child support since, as I always say, if the child is spending close to equal time with both parents, child support should not apply.
Support is growing and things are moving in this direction.
