Give the Minnesota Shared Parenting Legislation a Push
http://www.fathersandfamilies.org/2012/03/30/minnesota-shared-parenting-legislation-passes-three-committees/
Once again The Children’s Equal and Shared Parenting Act is moving through Minnesota’s House and Senate: HF 322 and SF 1402. Both versions greatly increase the presumption of parenting time for both parents.

Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, said, “This bill is really a common sense idea. Why in our day and age when fathers and mothers both work and share equally in the responsibility of raising children, why should that change just because of a divorce?”
Molly Olson, Center for Parental Responsibility said, “The current system we have is far outdated. Forty-five years ago women did not work, and it was not the father’s duty to be a parent. Well, we live in a different culture now. We have had a one-size-fits-all model where one parent is the winner and one is the loser. This bill puts both parents on an equal playing field.”
If you live in Minnesota, share your views with your representative and senator. You may find them here. Also, thank Rep. Peggy Scott for leading on shared parenting legislation in Minnesota.
