As a resident of the State of Connecticut (or as a concerned individual directly affected by Connecticut laws pertaining to child custody) I strongly support and request that state legislators enact new legislation that establishes a legal presumption of shared legal and shared physical custody of minor children by both parents.
Both parents are essential to the well being of a child and should be treated equally by the court system.

This has grown into something much larger than I ever imagined when I first set this up. Please know that I am listening to every word and working to make sure these experiences reach the right people.

My kids deserve time with both of us. The current system is so outdated and just creates unnecessary conflict between parents. Fix this already.
