I applaud family rights advocate Gwen Caldwell. The destruction of the family is due to the 'winner-take-all' concept of family courts. I, too, believe that the family is the most primary and important social structure of a child’s life. And like Ms Caldwell, I believe Shared Parenting is essential for the well-being of our children.

There can be no doubt that the family is the most basic institution in our society, and that present legal processes are undermining it's sanctity. Divorce courts arbitrarily assigning custody to one parent while relegating the other to the role of visitor is but one example of this. It's long past time to end this practice and reverse every contested sole custody decision ever made, except where there is a preponderance of evidence indicating that it would be harmful to the children involved. One need not look any further than the daily newspaper to see the ill effects that the erosion of the family have had on our society.
