In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the recent release of the 2025 Shared Parenting Report Card by the National Parents Organization. The report card evaluates all 50 states on their progress in adopting shared parenting laws, which aim to ensure that children maintain relationships with both parents after separation. The findings indicate that shared parenting is gaining traction, with six states now earning "A" grades for their efforts. During a press conference at the National Press Club, Don Hubin, PhD, Chair of the National Parents Organization, highlighted the positive impact of these laws on family court reform and the protection of children from the adverse effects of divorce. Despite the progress, Hubin emphasized the need for continued efforts to update shared parenting laws across the nation.
The podcast also featured insights from notable figures such as Warren Farrell, Emma Johnson, and Dr. William Fabricius, who discussed the broader benefits of shared parenting. Emma Johnson pointed out that shared parenting not only benefits children but also allows parents to pursue their careers and personal interests. Dr. Fabricius presented research showing that equal parenting time reduces the negative consequences of parental separation on children, preparing them better for the future. Andre Rainey addressed the disproportionate impact of sole custody arrangements on minority communities and the necessity for legal reforms to address these disparities. The episode concluded with a private screening of "We the Parents," a documentary on shared parenting.
