“National Parents Organization releases 'report card' evaluating shared-parenting statutes of each state”

By Michael Bartiromo

The National Parents Organization has released a “report card” evaluating the implementation of effective shared-parenting statutes across the nation — and only two states received an “A.”

The National Parents Organization, or NPO, shared its 2019 report Wednesday, as part of its continuing effort to “promote children’s well-being by making equal shared parenting the norm when parents are living apart.”

NPO, which ultimately aims to reform custody laws in states across the nation to make them more egalitarian, writes in its report that equal, shared parenting statutes are in the best interest of children, as per a “growing consensus among researchers."

NPO also cited studies that allegedly determined 35 percent of children in single-parent households suffer from more psychological trauma and poorer health. The referenced research also claimed that these same children would grow up to fare worse in terms of income and may be more prone to drug problems or criminal activity.
