Alexandra Beckman, a Kentucky mother of seven children explains how the new parenting law will reduce stress on children of divorced parents. She has a story that needs to be shared. She lives in Kentucky, the ONLY state where shared parenting(50/50) is the default when parents separate.

Alexandra is an advocate for shared parenting in her state. On her Facebook page, she states;

“Shared Parenting WORKS! I never thought I’d get past not having my kiddos 24/7 (as I had been a stay at home mom). It took 3 months of crying every other weekend when my kids were gone. But, I learned a new way of living. A new life. I could stay home with my kids on my days, and work a ton and go to school when they were gone. Yes, it works. It is best that kids have the love from both parents without any influence to “hate” the other parent. If 1 parent is trying to turn their child against the other, that IS PARENTAL ALIENATION. It is ILLEGAL in KY.”

If you are experiencing parental alienation and live in New York state, contact either myself or Josh Blumenthal. We are co-chairs of the New York Affiliate of the National Parents Organization. The National Parents Organization, a 501 (c)(3), is dedicated to improving the lives of children and strengthening society by protecting every child’s right to the love and care of both parents after separation or divorce. We seek better lives for children through family court reform that establishes equal rights and responsibilities for fathers and mothers.

National Parents Organization’s goal is to make shared parenting the norm by reforming the family courts and laws in every state.

National Parents Organization’s vision, is a society in which:

• Children are happier and more successful because their loving bonds are protected after parental separation or divorce;
• Children have a natural right to be nurtured and guided by both parents;
• Society treats fathers and mothers as equally important to the well-being of their children;
• Shared parenting after separation or divorce is the norm;
• The courts arrange finances after separation or divorce so that both mothers and fathers can afford to house and care for their children and themselves; and
• Our society understands and respects the essential role of fathers.

Our core principles are:

• Shared Parenting: Shared parenting protects children’s best interests and the loving bonds children share with both parents after separation or divorce.
• Parental Equality: Equality between genders has been extended to every corner of American society, with one huge exception: family courts and the related agencies.
• Respect for Human and Property Rights: The Supreme Court of the United States has found that “the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children… is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.”
