2022 NPO Child Support And Shared Parenting Report Card
WHY DID NEW YORK RECEIVE AN F?
POSITIVES:
None.
NEGATIVES:
New York is one of only 9 states lacking a presumptive parenting time adjustment formula; instead it relies on unnecessarily costly and lengthy court deviation procedures generally inaccessible to lower income parents. The lack of a presumptive PTA as an integral component of mandated presumptive child support guidelines arguably violates federal regulatory requirements.
Highlights:
In instances of divorce or separation:
92% of those in New York believe it is in the child's best interest ... to have as much time as possible with each parent;"
92% of New Yorkers expressed a commitment to vote their beliefs being "more likely to vote for a candidate who supports children spending equal or nearly equal time with each parent ...when both parents are fit and willing to be parents."
85% of those in New York indicate they would support a change in New York law that awards children as much time as possible with each parent after divorce or separation
77% believe that when there is conflict between parents, awarding sole custody to one parent increases conflict.
89% believe that New York should promote shared parenting for all children with separated parents.
83% believe that both parents should have equal rights and responsibilities following divorce or separation.
