Joint custody helps children

Article here, originally. At the time of posting, though, the article isn't showing up (404 error); the home page of the on-line paper has a notice saying they are having technical problems though, so that could explain it. I did manage to find it in the Google cahce though, here. Excerpt:

'The winner-take-all adversarial divorce system of Judge Meyer and Mr. Cade of routinely awarding custody or ownership of our children of divorce to one parent, usually the mother, and demoting the other parent, usually the father, to the status of a visitor deprives our children of the stability and continuity of having two parents during their developmental years. The system also deprives fathers of their basic right of raising their children.

Divorced fathers are still waiting for the state Legislature to enact parenting and joint custody legislation that would provide a preference for equality between divorcing parents or a presumption of joint custody that would not reduce a parent to the status of a visitor.'
