| MN: Shared Parenting Bills Close but Need Push
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have is far outdated.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.
