NPO: Missouri Rally, Hopes for Strong Shared Parenting Law
Submitted by Matt on Thu, 2016-06-16 19:56
Article here. Excerpt:
'Attend the Fatherless Day Rally in Jefferson City this Friday -- tomorrow -- June 17, from noon to 3 PM in the Capitol Rotunda to support House Bill 1550. Governor Nixon has been invited. Major print and television media are expected to attend, as they did last year, so we need to show a good crowd!
Will Missouri Governor Jay Nixon sign the shared parenting bill HB1550?
This is the most important question in the family court reform movement at this exact moment. It is a good bill, with strong protections for shared parenting. The Missouri legislature passed it almost unanimously. We are hoping that he will sign it either on Friday, June 17 -- National Fatherless Day -- or on Monday June 20, in honor of Fathers Day.'

Specific Shared Parenting Language in the Bill
"The general assembly finds and declares that it is the public policy of this state that frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with both parents after the parents have separated or dissolved their marriage is in the best interest of the child except for cases where the court specifically finds that such contact is not in the best interest of the child."
