ASHLAND Some Kentucky legislators are hoping to put another option on the table for judges deciding on child custody cases.

Sen. Ernie Harris and Rep. David Osborne, both Republican state legislators from Prospect near Louisville, have sponsored bills in their respective chambers to enable judges to allow separated or divorced parents the option of shared parenting in temporary custody orders.
Shared parenting allows parents to not only make joint decisions (such as medical, religious, educational and other activities), but also lets them evenly split their time caring for the child or children.
The National Parents Organization has been advocating for shared parenting laws in Kentucky for a few years.

State Sen. Robin Webb, D-Grayson, is also a sponsor of Harris’ bill and said shared parenting is advantageous for everyone involved if the child has two parents with true desire to be active in sharing that responsibility.
“The best interests of the child are paramount,” Webb said.
Webb is a practicing lawyer in Grayson and said she also believes an option for shared parenting can benefit judges by giving them more flexibility in custody rulings.
“You’ve just got so many diverse family situations now,” Webb said. “People have to work long hours, multiple jobs. It’s just necessary sometimes for the judge to be able to find the right balance.”
Matt Hale, director of the NPO in Kentucky, said shared parenting is more “complete” than joint custody, which is the result of nearly 80 percent of the state’s custody cases. ~~ By LANA BELLAMY

2016 International Year of Co-Parenting

After the International Year of the Family in 1994 to remind us that the family is the basic unit of society and therefore deserves special attention,
Following the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly entitled "A world fit for children" (S-27/2, 6 May 2002) which recognizes the shared responsibility of parents in the education and upbringing of their children, and the importance of making every effort to ensure that fathers have the opportunity to participate in the lives of their children,
In noting a transformation of family patterns in recent decades characterized among other things by an increase in the number of separated families and therefore the risk of disengagement of a parent,
we ask for :
An international year to increase the awareness of the general public and all the elected officials in every nation on the equal importance of the roles of both parents – be they together, separated or divorced – in the upbringing of their child(ren).
A year to create opportunities and find solutions to promote and above all value the commitment of each parent to their children); a year to focus on action and results, by the exchange of good practices.
A year to rethink greater equity (particularly in parenting time) between the two parents in case of separation / divorce in the best interest of the child.
A year to recognize the prime role of each parent and celebrate the commitment of both parents towards their (s) child (ren).
A year to remember that each child has two unique parents - father and mother – with the same rights and responsibilities to provide the best possible living conditions, to give him/her affection, assistance and protection, education, to encourage the development of his/her personality, to transmit values.
In this perspective, regardless of political allegiances, social or religious beliefs, father, mother, grandmother or grandfather, or just a citizen committed to human rights, we ask the General Assembly of the United Nations to declare 2017 : International Year of co-parenting.
