Equal Shared Parenting

Improving both family law and criminal justice

A Legal Public Health Crisis

Our divorce system has created a public health crisis that impacts children of divorce their whole lives. Watch a short clip of developmental psychologist William Fabricius discussing his research on divorce and fathers and how "Equal parenting time is a public health issue".

  • Equal Shared Parenting helps wipe out the harmful effects of divorce seen in children.
  • Promotes strong father-child and mother-child relationships for children in young adulthood.
  • Insecure parental relationships are a predictor of serious physical and mental health issues.

How Contributions Help

This Campaign for 50/50 in 2025 has registered for mini filing which means up to $7,000 can be raised. The goal is to spend approximately half that on educating our next legislators and governor on the latest shared parenting research. In 2023, all state legislators and Gov. Inslee were given copies of 'The Boy Crisis' by Warren Farrell. The new goal is to purchase copies of 'The 50/50 Solution' by Emma Johnson, 'Of Boys to Men' by Richard V. Reeves, and 'Myths and Lies About Dads - How They Hurt Us All' by Linda Neilsen to continue to educate legislators about the importance of keeping both parents equally involved in their children's lives.

Why Protecting Equal Parental Rights Matters

Research

The 50/50 Solution unpacks the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in families where the adults no longer live together.

Children do better physically and emotionally, single mothers earn more, single fathers are more engaged, and with far less co-parental and legal conflict.

Equal parenting time is the custody framework of the future to help our families and communities thrive.

Emma Johnson

This groundbreaking book destroys more than 100 of the most damaging belief about fathers.

Using the most recent research, this pioneering work exposes these baseless beliefs and the toll they take on children’s relationships with their fathers, parents’ relationships with one another, and the physical and mental health of fathers and mothers.

The book empowers parents to free themselves from the myths and lies about fathers that bind them.

The Boy Crisis

The Boy Crisis provides a comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.

Appendix B is a list of fifty-five area incorporating more than seventy specific benefits of dad involvement or dangers of dad deprivation including lower academic achievement, ADHD, alcohol and drug abuse, child abuse, homeless and runaway youth, gangs, hypertension, incarceration, pregnancy, sexual abuse, suicide, unemployment, and violence including the shoot shootings by dad-deprived boys.

Of Boys And Men by Richard V. Reeves

Lost. Disaffected. Adrift. Checked Out. Withdrawn. Public health officials point to disproportionately male “deaths of despair” from suicide or overdose. Parents see their sons struggling and worry what it means for their future.

Politicians on both left and right have failed to engage constructively with the problems of boys and men. Views of what it means to be a man in the twenty-first century have hardened along partisan lines. Reeves offers a compelling diagnosis of the problems of boys and men – and a bold set of solutions.

Richard V. Reeves

Co-parenting doesn’t have to be hard, or mean sacrificing either your family or your own happiness. It’s simply a matter of focus and choices. Combative To Callaborative: The Co-Parenting Code channel’s parent’s attention to what they really want… to be good parents. Move from anger, hurt, and loss to consideration, kindness, and cooperation.
