WASHINGTON, DC, April 23, 2025 — The latest Shared Parenting Report Card has been unveiled, showcasing the progress of all 50 states in adopting shared parenting laws. This year, six states have achieved top "A" grades, reflecting a growing trend towards equitable parenting arrangements following divorce or separation. The report highlights the increasing recognition of the importance of both parents' involvement in children's lives, emphasizing that shared parenting can lead to better outcomes for children.
As states continue to implement and refine their shared parenting laws, the report notes that more families are benefiting from these changes. The NPO's findings indicate that jurisdictions with strong shared parenting frameworks are not only improving family dynamics but also reducing the burden on family courts. Advocates for shared parenting see this as a significant step forward in promoting the well-being of children and ensuring that both parents remain active participants in their lives. The momentum suggests a promising future for shared parenting initiatives across the country.
