Shared Parenting is a concept that recognizes that both parents should have equal rights to raise, live with, interact and support their children. It promotes the idea that rather than family court judges deciding which parent should have custody and who should pay support, both parents have to work together and share custody. The judge would be required only to enforce shared custody (absent extraordinary circumstances).
Presently, custody is solely the judge’s decision, often based on recommendations of for-profit court actors. If shared custody became law, the family court’s multi-billion divorce and custody business would be obliterated. Family law attorneys, therapists, and custody evaluators would lose their livelihoods and have to find another grift to engage in.
Taxpayers would save since there would be far less need for Family Court judges, and courtrooms would close.
Today’s Family Court depends on naive Americans who believe that political judges guided by mercenary lawyers, who are aided by mercenary therapists, guardians ad litem, custody supervisors, attorneys for children, custody evaluators, and other financially motivated court actors, will do a fair and honest job in deciding the future of their children in an altruistic manner.
Foolish parents think the adage “the best interest of the children” means their children. A word of clarification: The best interest of the children means the attorneys’ children.
The silver bullet works great in divorce cases. Merely make up a phony charge against your spouse, and he’s cooked,
Shared Parenting would help eliminate the Silver Bullet (false allegations made by mothers to eliminate the father’s custody) and the misuse of Parental Alienation (usually false claims made by fathers to stop the mother’s custody).
Sean Allen is the CT chair of the National Parents Organization and SPC.
They are “currently working on a project to erect a billboard that advocates for shared parenting and provides solutions for families in transition. This billboard will serve as a beacon of hope and guidance for individuals seeking support and information… By raising awareness and promoting the importance of shared parenting, we can empower families to navigate the court system with confidence and clarity.”
Anthony Cancel is a father who fought in family court to win 50/50 custody of his son.
After so doing, he founded Pro Se Dad to support other parents in similar situations. Visit Dad Connect (https://www.dadconnect.org).
What are the statistics?
Szymonik’s View
Peter Szymonik, a Constitutional and Civil Rights Activist
Autism Advocate writes:
One of the biggest problems we all face is the lack of access to meaningful statistics and metrics.
Do mothers get full custody more than fathers?
How often do our courts promote and order equal and shared parenting?
Does money play a role in outcomes?
Who is ordered to pay what?
What are GALs paid?
What are the attorneys paid?
How many cases are returned to court? (That one we know from former Chief State Justice Rogers)
What is the average number of motions filed?
What is the average length and cost of a custody case?
How many cases involve claims of DV?
How many of these claims are supported by a finding in a court of evidence and law based on probable cause?
How many court orders are appealed and overturned?
Which attorneys appear before which judges most often?
Does that have an impact on outcomes?
Etc.
We all have our personal experiences and (biases), but the hard data is not out there because the states and courts need to track outcomes or costs.
The information IS available, just not readily accessible, or it is being deliberately kept from us.
Some have created surveys, and that’s a step in the right direction, but not broad enough.
There is a site where people can rate their judges (www.therobingroom.com), but few know it exists.
Very shortly, A.I. may help unlock this information.

Does anyone have CT information? CT is one of the only states without stats listed

The Best Interest of the Child LOL
Lawyers and judges discuss “the best interest of the children.”
The child’s best interest LMFAO.
“Shared Parenting” removes the decision from the judges and their mercenary associates. It requires parents to act responsibly to work out a plan (much as they did when they decided to unite) and denies one parent the opportunity to use the financially-driven Family Court system to remove the other parent from the children’s lives.
Family court judges have plenty to be happy about. They live a life of ease without a jury to hamper their unbridled power.
For whatever reason, Family Court attracts a certain type of lawyer.
If Judge Roy Bean were alive, he could explain the due process principles applicable in family court.
