Our Mission

The mission of the Shared Parenting Council of Connecticut (SPC) is to
obtain the presumption of equal parenting opportunities before the
law regardless of gender. The SPC is working to change the judicial
system so as to better serve children.

The SPC works with state legislature, nonprofit groups and lobbying
groups to promote change in Connecticut’s legal and regulatory framework.
The SPC seeks a framework that promotes active involvement of both
parents in the lives of their children. The State cannot guarantee
that parents will make the right decisions for their children, but
it can provide incentives to encourage this.

Specifically, SPC seeks “PRESUMED JOINT PHYSICAL CUSTODY.”
The custody laws in Connecticut should be oriented around the need
to promote frequent and continue contacts between children and their
mother and father. Model legislation, currently laws in Florida and
Texas, is needed in Connecticut.
