The PARENTAL EQUALITY ACT ensures both parents equal access to participate
in the child’s enjoyment of life and related activities.
BACKGROUND
The problem of custody abuse is pandemic across the nation. Custody litigation
is big business and best interest of the child is eclipsed. A formula of frauds is
used by unethical attorneys representing an abuser where they collude with
others within the justice system to stack the deck against the protective parent
thus neutralizing their efforts to protect the children. In the end courts end up
placing children in the custody and control of the abuser while the protective
parent’s loss of equal protections holds them hostage on the sidelines. The
protective parent is labeled non-custodial and although never being ruled “un-
fit” is regarded as such in the eyes of the community. Schools often favor the
custodial parent and overzealously apply privacy laws with the effect it excludes
the non-custodial parent from programs and services such as records and parent
teacher conferences. This is primarily due to misconceptions of what “custody”
implies as opposed to the view of Parental Equality supported by existing state
and federal laws.
EXISTING LAW Your state’s law here ( Example Ohio Revised Code
3109.051(H)(1) )
PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED LAW:
To eliminate Custody Discrimination and ensure both Parents Enjoy Equal Access
to services and accommodations that benefit parent and child.
The PARENTAL EQUALITY ACT corrects the harmful misinterpretation that only a
custodial parent is deemed worthy of participating in the child’s education and
activities, or that a non custodial parent is “un-fit" to parent. Discrimination on
the basis of “custodial status” is a pandemic problem across the nation but also
impacts the entire family and excludes other important relationships of the child,
including grandparents, other extended family members, and others in the
child’s support system.
The PARENTAL EQUALITY ACT complements and unifies existing laws in a way
that clearly states both parents are entitled to enjoy equal access to activities
and accommodations granted to parents of children.
The PARENTAL EQUALITY ACT removes the incentive to engage in abusive and/or
harmful practices which are a pervasive problem in our family courts. Without
the ability to dominate or deny“ a non-custodial” parents rights there is little
motive engage in such tactics.
