Sacks on Shared Parenting

Glenn Sacks wrote a great piece on shared parenting in support of a proposed Tennessee bill that would make shared physical custody the default for divorcing parents. "Advocates of the bill emphasize that it will lower the divorce rate, since parents won't be rewarded by the courts for being the first one to terminate a struggling relationship. In addition, they say, it encourages cooperation and even reconciliation because each parent knows that, barring proof of abuse, they will not be able to drive the other parent out of their children's lives." I hope activists in TN are organizing well in support of this bill, which will help many fathers, but most of all, children.
