Preserve Fundamental Rights

• A child has a fundamental right to spend time with both of his or her parents.

• The U.S. Supreme Court recognizes that the relationship between parent and child must be constitutionally protected in order to
  • preserve the child’s right to have two parents guide in their upbringing and care for their well-being.
  • preserve the child’s right to equal access to both fit parents.
  • preserve the child’s relationship with the extended families of each parent.
  • preserve the child’s right to benefit from the resources of each parent.

• The data is irrefutable; equal and shared parenting ensures that children have the best possible environment for success when both parents guide their upbringing and care for their well-being.
