Children Likely to Be Better Adjusted in Joint Vs Sole Custody Arrangements in Most Cases, According to Review of Research
WASHINGTON — Children from divorced families who either live with both parents at different times or spend certain amounts of time with each parent are better adjusted in most cases than children who live and interact with just one parent, according to new research on custody arrangements and children's adjustment.
Psychologist Robert Bauserman, PhD, of AIDS Administration/Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in Baltimore, Maryland conducted a meta-analysis of 33 studies between 1982 to 1999 that examined 1,846 sole-custody and 814 joint-custody children. The studies compared child adjustment in joint physical or joint legal custody with sole-custody settings and 251 intact families. Joint custody was defined as either physical custody — where a child spends equal or substantial amounts of time with both parents or shared legal custody — where a child lives with primarily one parent but both parents are involved in all aspects of the child's life. This article will appear in the March issue of the Journal of Family Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Children in joint custody arrangements had less behavior and emotional problems, had higher self-esteem, better family relations and school performance than children in sole custody arrangements. And these children were as well-adjusted as intact family children on the same measures, said Bauserman, "probably because joint custody provides the child with an opportunity to have ongoing contact with both parents."
These findings indicate that children do not actually need to be in a joint physical custody to show better adjustment but just need to spend substantial time with both parents, especially with their fathers, said Bauserman. Also, joint custody couples reported less conflict, possibly because both parents could participate in their children's lives equally and not spend the time arguing over childcare decisions. Unfortunately a perception exists that joint custody is more harmful because it exposes children to ongoing parental conflict. In fact, the studies in this review found that sole-custody parents reported higher levels of conflict.
It is important to recognize that the results do not support joint custody in all situations. When one parent is abusive or neglectful or has a serious mental or physical health problem, sole-custody with the other parent would clearly be preferable, said Bauserman. The judges, lawyers, social workers, psychologists and other professionals involved in divorce counseling and litigation should be aware of these findings to make informed decisions of what environment is best for a child in a custody situation.
Furthermore, to address the question of how much the parents' emotional health compared with the custody arrangement influenced the children's adjustment, Bauserman explained that custody arrangement seemed to have more influence. By statistically controlling for past parental conflict (which indicates parental maladjustment), the joint custody children still were significantly better adjusted. This result was also found in other studies cited in Bauserman's review. More primary research is needed, said Bauserman, "on the past and current adjustment of joint custody and sole custody parents before this question can be completely answered."

Report Blasts State of Florida Over Child Abuse Deaths
Let's Join The Purple Keyboard Campaign((Activate :2015))4 Family Justice Reform!Operation CPS reform and Family law...
Posted by Children's Rights on Monday, May 25, 2015
Dear Senator Nelson:
Dear Senator Rubio:Dear Representative Diaz-Balart:
Families are being abused by State CPS and Family Courts
through out the United States of America, this is a major issue that needs to
be addressed, Families that have had their civil rights violated through family
court proceedings and the fact that all due process and constitutional rights
are violated and manipulated by family court judges, District Attorneys, and
Commissioners of /social services departments as well as CPS workers, and court
appointed attorneys that are not working for the clients but have helped
incriminate parents. Also of extreme interest, is obtaining
names/phone/location of CPS workers who are falsifying or have falsified
documents in court and who have lied in a court setting. The people of Florida and the People of the United States of America demand a full
investigation of all departments, and the termination of department until
further the people also wish to sue for government entrapment as well as a suit
brought against the case workers, family court judges, and district lawyers.
The People through discovery have found:
1. The imbalance of funding is creating corruption
2. Corruption has filtered through all manner of government
and related agencies
3. Judicial decisions violate the public trust
4. Laws are created and passed that give parens patriae
unlimited power not provided by the Constitution
5. The pendulum has swung to create a monopoly strategy of funding
extracted from dwindling Social Services that have been set up to help families
in need is devastating families across America
6. Children's lives are at stake while in the care of
government funded agencies, such as rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse and
neglect, mental abuse, and statistics show our children are being killed while
in government placements out side of the parental home/or close relatives
7. That the states are not following guidelines placing
children with relatives but are screening them out using different criteria
with foster families, or falsifying documents to entrap parents and not keeping
the children in the home with parents but removing the children without due
process or any true purpose other then to incriminate parents/family members
and to insure family is unfit
8. That pockets of tyranny are going unchecked without
recourse
9. Congress local government/ civil and family courts is not
responsive to The People
10. That The People have been turned away from civil courts,
and from family courts higher court of appeals, only to remain battered and
bruised by the tyranny of these local government funded courts as the judges,
case workers/commissioners and district attorneys mock the outraged parents and
children of which they so willingly strip of their civil rights and liberties
The People are declaring a public health crisis and human
rights violation as well as their Civil rights are being stripped and taken
from them and their families, as a result of these above atrocities and also In
addition, The People find the Parens Patriae to be more than a doctrine but a
specialized position created by the government for the government that violates
Article 1 Sec 9, 10: No title of nobility or honors shall be granted by the United
States. The title extends to the courts, Children’s Administration and public
education violating Amendment 14 depriving persons of life, liberty and
property without due process. The position applies as a collective.
The People are ordering an investigation of the
departments as well as Family courts through out the United States of America
and most important in New York State the people of the United States ask that
all family court files, case files, court tapes, and videos be put into the
investigation, as well as there be a federal lockdown on all CPS and family
courts so that no tampering of documents can be done by such agencies, the fact
is family court documents will show the fact that they are mishandled and
manipulated by these agencies to insure incriminating charges are inevitable
and due process is not being carried out, civil rights are violated, all human
rights are violated and the United States Constitution is not on the agenda of
these agencies. And the people of the United States of America

10 Sacrifices A Good Father Makes For His Child | All Pro Dad
Remain an Equal Parent to your Child!

CFEP was formed to give PARENT'S an outlet for support and to share their stories.Legislators: Protect Parental Rights and Children's Lives
Our Constitutional right to bear arms is front and center in
state and federal legislatures. But where is the debate on protecting our basic
human rights to parent our children? (also constitutionally protected by the
14th amendment) Every day in every state, mothers and fathers lose their basic
human right to parent their children.
Why? Because the divorce industry wants your family’s money!
Estimated at $170 Billion annually! How?
We all have a family member, friend or neighbor who has been
through a nasty divorce. Most of us believe children need both parents equally
and that there exist a standard of 50/50 custody that the courts start from.
NOT TRUE!!!!
THERE IS NO PARENTING TIME STANDARD!!! THIS LACK OF STANDARD
CREATES 90% OF ALL DIVORCE CONFLICT AND DIVORCE LITIGATION!!! IT DESTROYS
FAMILIES AND LIVES!!! STOP IT NOW!!!!!
In litigated divorce, there is no standard as to how
children should spend their time between parents. The lack of a parenting time
standard causes our children to be viewed as a prize where unethical lawyers
and custody evaluators use them as pawns between parents. If there were a
parenting time standard, it would resolve over half of divorce litigation
taking place right now.
MAKE PRESUMPTIVE 50/50 THE REBUTTABLE STANDARD AND ELIMINATE
CUSTODY EVALUATIONS
Start with the presumption that both parents are fit and
entitled to an equal role in their children’s lives. This presumption is
rebuttable only by findings of fact based upon a preponderance of evidence in
abuse, neglect or addiction. Everything else unconstitutionally denies parents
their rights to parent children.
ONLY OUR LEGISLATORS CAN PROTECT US FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF
DIVORCE WITHOUT OBJECTIVE AND EQUAL STANDARDS
The divorce industry is $170B annually and motivated to
oppose standards so they can create, promote and perpetuate conflict to
increase billing hours exponentially Have you ever heard “It's only the
lawyers who win in divorce”? Add to lawyers: custody evaluators (duplicate
roles in some states), criminal lawyers, courts, psychologists therapists,
investigators, GALs, an entire cottage industry of brokers!
With overdue and demanded, simple and just changes to state
statues, families and children can be forever protected from the ravages of the
divorce industry by a simple and equal standard.
The lack of a presumptive 50/50 rebuttable standard destroys
lives and families, often forever. Children as pawns can be scared for life,
arbitrarily lose a parent, or two, for life and are in much greater peril in
life. Mothers and fathers lose their children and react badly. Suicide and
homicide is not uncommon. Mothers and fathers can be jailed for protecting
their children or going bankrupt.
LIVES ARE DESTROYED!!! Check out www.lawlessamerica.com for
750 testimonies from around the country.
RESEARCH SAYS: CHILDREN, PARENTS AND SOCIETY WANT A
PRESUMPTION OF 50/50 REBUTTABLE STANDARD.
MAKE 50/50 THE PRESUMPTIVE REBUTTABLE STANDARD FOR THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS
END CUSTODY EVALAUTIONS
50/50 is rebuttable based upon findings of fact that
demonstrate a preponderance of evidence supporting abuse, neglect, addiction or
other serious issue as determined by the court. Evaluating personalities or
parenting styles is purely subjective and an unacceptable intrusion of
government in our lives. Custody evaluators are financially incentivized to
perpetuate conflict and promote injustice to increase their billing hours.
Lives shall not be destroyed based upon the greed of an industry. Custody evaluations
must end.
MAKE 50/50 THE PRESUMPTIVE REBUTTABLE STANDARD FOR THE BEST
INTEREST OF CHILDREN AND PARENTS
Please sign this petition letting your legislators know that
you support creating a presumptive 50/50 rebuttable custody standard to protect
our children and families from the ravages of the divorce industry.
To: State Legislators
What is more precious: your 14th amendment, basic human right to parent your children or your 2nd amendment right to bear arms? If you had to lose one, which would it be?
“Only lawyers win in the divorce” is the mantra from which Family Law Statues where written under the false banner of a “child’s best interest.” The lack of a presumptive 50/50 Shared Parenting standard continues to make the divorce industry flourish while children’s lives lay in the ruin.
By creating this 50/50 Shared Parenting standard, our children and parents will be protected from an industry that creates, promotes and perpetuates conflict for its financial gain. Lives are ruined, lives are lost and injustices beyond comprehension as children are alienated from their parents.
The presumptive 50/50 Shared Parenting standard is based on an absence of a preponderance of evidence supporting abuse, neglect, addiction or other serious issue as defined by a Court. This fact-based and objective-based approach has to replace the hearsay and subjectively corrupt manner of today's family court processes.
Given us this single standard can reduce the amount of divorce litigation by half and allow families to move forward with the best interest of all in mind. Help protect parental rights as strongly as gun rights.
It is your duty to introduce legislation establishing a presumptive 50/50 Shared Parenting standard and protect our divorcing families from being exploited by an industry for its own greed.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
We only support organizations who show an understanding that children need both parents, and that either parent is equally capable of the choice to perpetrate hate or declare peace.
