Bike Trek to Cover 600 Miles |
|
Shared Parenting activists Robert Pedersen and Rob Mackenzie plan on making a statement These riders will ride their bicycles from the Michigan capitol in Lansing to our Nations Capitol in Washington D.C. in August. Starting out on August 11th, the ride is designed to bring attention to Shared Parenting in an effort to help raise the awareness of a need to pass shared parenting laws in all 50 states. This incredible ride will wind the riders through several states over just a few days. The ride will end with thousands of well wishers welcoming them into Washington D.C. at the Rally2007 event at the Capitol Mall. The riders will be followed by a crew of grandmothers and step-mothers, non-custodial moms all showing their support for men, men's rights, and children's rights. The riders will be followed by a dedicated media van and satellite internet service which will allow for the realtime uploading of video for coverage of the event. The riders are looking for donations to cover the cost of the event, donations can be made at the Daddy Blog. If we each make a $5 donation we can make a real difference. |

Alec Baldwin the new face of NCPs? |
|
 The Alec Baldwin story has more twists in it that a snake if you are reading the local news. And, as unfortunate as it is, it is good for the Shared Parenting movement! It has taken the misfortune of others to bring to celebrity state the fact that men and women across the nation are denied visitation and custody of their children.
It was noticed that the AlecBaldwin.com web site was receiving over 100 posts an hour on his guestbook! It is an incredible number of visitors, with some opposed to what he is doing, some supporting it, and others hoping he does not allow it to affect their favorite show - 30 Rock. I would estimate about 40-45% were fully supporting him from all angles. I would love to see the real statistic for it. Whatever your beliefs in Alec Baldwin and his treatment of his daughter Ireland, either for or against, there is one thing that can't be ignored. Why is a parent controlled on his/her access to children. Divorce does not involve a switch that turns off the relationship a parent and child shares. What right does ANYONE have in controlling access to a child, or even providing an "Award" of custody to one parent or the other. We strongly believe that in the absense of abuse, anything less than 50/50 custody is family abuse. We are excited to see what can change with a celebrity now backing changes in family law. And, Alec was not the only one. Valerie Bertinelli cam out against PAS, and John Stossel has recenting commented and written about the bad rap that fathers take in the courts. |

Iowa to Strengthen Joint Custody |
|
The State of Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee has just passed SF507 out of committee and to the floor for a vote. This bill requires judges in the state to consider presumptive joint custody of 50/50 for any parenting plan modification requests. This is an important bill for the State, which passed the nations first 50/50 joint custody bill in 2004. It's been reported that some judges don't follow the 50/50 requirments for parents looking for a change of custody. This bill would require judges order 50/50 joint custody unless it finds specifically that it is not in the best interest of the child. Read the blog at SharedParentingBlog.com |
