Is this
EQUAL, or shared parenting?
Do you
have a link to the actual
wording?
Reason
I ask, is Oklahoma has a statute
in place:
Oklahoma
Statutes Citationized
 Title
43. Marriage
 Section 110.1
- Policy for Equal Access
to Minor Children by Parents
Cite as: O.S. §, __ __
It is
the policy of this state to
assure that minor children
have frequent and continuing
contact with parents who have
shown the ability to act in
the best interests of their
children and to encourage
parents to share in the rights
and responsibilities of rearing
their children after the parents
have separated or dissolved
their marriage. To effectuate
this policy, if requested
by a parent, the court shall
provide substantially equal
access to the minor children
to both parents at a temporary
order hearing, unless the
court finds that such shared
parenting would be detrimental
to such child. The burden
of proof that such shared
parenting would be detrimental
to such child shall be upon
the parent requesting sole
custody and the reason for
such determination shall be
documented in the court record.

This statute
means nothing at all in the
court room. If the father
asks for the shared parenting/
equal parenting, the judge
will deny, for any reason
he chooses (usually raising
the "best interest of
the child" bs)...
See my
case... judge stated I was
NOT a threat, was NOT an unfit
parent... yet he denied my
request for shared parenting
because the ex-gf simply stated
we had communication problems.
No valid evidence brought
to the court apart from that.
It seems
the statute is just there
to make things "look
good" when it comes to
the state doing something
for the children.
So, be
VERY careful with the CA ballot.
Make sure their avenues of
denial are EXTREMELY limited...
for example, cases of PROVEN
abuse (not ALLEGED), etc.
Stay Strong,
Keep Up The Fight,

Welcome, where are we?
The ballot
initiative amends the California
Family Code to make equal
custody the default custody
arrangement at the request
of either parent while still
allowing the courts to protect
the children. The burden of
proof shifts to the objecting
parent.
About 600 active fathers rights
people have been invited to
this list yesterday. Please
let anyone you know in California
to get
hooked up with the shared
parenting ballot initiative
by joining this list, joining
a group that is supporting
the initiative, or by
joining any of the shared
parenting ballot initiative
working groups. Within the
next month, another 3K to
4K more fathers will be informed.
There will be almost 5 months
to gather enough signatures
to get this issue on the November
2006 election. We need your
help to get others involved.
The petitions will be made
available in the next few
days and signature gathering
can begin.
Currently, there are 170 tracked
volunteers, and estimated
over 500 volunteers throughout
the state. The need is for
at least 2K to 3K volunteers.
There are over 30 coordinators
throughout the state. Currently
there are 22 of 59 counties
represented. Each will have
a county coordinator. The
county coordinators will be
able to answer your questions.
In turn, as new people join
the list and ask the same
questions, please facilitate
the process by responding
to their questions. Additional
answers to frequently asked
questions will be available
at
http://www.childsright.org/faq/
If you would like to get involved
in the working groups or connected
with your county coordinator,
please email
help@childsright.org.
Once the volunteer tracker
form is filled out, you will
be connected to the appropriate
person(s). |
