On Friday, June 20, 2003, the Alabama Legislature passed and Gov. Riley signed
"The Alabama Parent-Child Relationship Protection Act". This significant
legislation was developed with ALFRA's support and is officially codified as Sec.
30-3-160, Code of Alabama, 1975. The Act makes it more difficult for children to be moved
far away from their family, friends and most importantly, their other (non-custodial)
parent.
This Act was passed as the direct result of a lot of hard work by the people in ALFRA. We
have many good people who want to change the "winner- take-all" divorce system
in Alabama. Working TOGETHER has allowed us to to reach out to others. Passage of the Act
.is a prime example of how a small number of focused persons can effect the system. We
once more encourage all to do what you can to further our cause . Remember, ALFRA is an
ALL VOLUNTEER Association, and is the conduit through with we can all make a difference.
Let's make ALFRA a household name! Let's emphasize that children need two parents even
after divorce, to make it a reality in the minds of the public, our legislators, our
judges, and our divorce attorneys.
