Every child deserves meaningful time with both parents.
AB 1978 creates a presumption of equal parenting time when both parents are fit, willing, able, and near
If both parents are fit, why does the court pick a winner?
We don't choose a "primary friend" for our kids.
We don't choose a "primary grandparent."
Why are we choosing a "primary parent"?
50/50 should be the starting point — not the exception.

The research is settled: children in 50/50 arrangements do better — even when parents have high conflict.
The argument that "shared parenting only works when parents get along" is not supported by the data.

50,000 children. One clear finding.
Kids in 50/50 homes: fewer headaches, better sleep, less anxiety, sharper focus.
Both boys and girls. Every age group.
Why is this still controversial?

"Best interest of the child" should mean both fit parents — not whichever parent wins the court battle.
Equal time. Equal responsibility. Equal love.
That's the standard we should start with.

Sweden has the highest rate of shared parenting in the world — 28% of children in 50/50 arrangements.
Their children also show the best outcomes across physical health, psychological well-being, and academic satisfaction.
Coincidence? We don't think so.

A review of 60 studies found children in shared parenting arrangements had better outcomes on ALL measured variables — family relationships, physical health, behavior, and mental health.
The science is clear. The law needs to catch up.

Decades of research (including work by Dr. William Fabricius) show:
The closer a parenting schedule gets to true 50/50, the better kids do on mental health, academics, behavior, and relationships.
Why are we still treating equal time like a radical idea?

Kids don’t need one “primary” parent. They need both. Research shows outcomes improve the closer parenting time gets to 50/50. Not 80/20. Not every-other-weekend. 50/50. Learn more → https://t.co/4Hgbbp4f9Y
