Patriarchy
Why Does the National Organization for Women Oppose the recent "Shared Parenting Bill"? I'm a little perplexed. The Florida National Organization for Women, has been opposing SB Bill 668 which mandates shared parenting in all circumstances after a divorce.

This is what NOW said about the bill:

"Press Release from Terry Sanders, President of Florida NOW: Alimony bill bad for Florida women... Florida National Organization for Women demands Governor Scott veto the Alimony Bill... Another egregious injustice in the bill is the attempt to force 50/50 timesharing on all families regardless of the circumstances.

Child custody belongs completely outside of any alimony ‘reform’ legislation. The individual needs of the family and child should be the leading consideration by judges when deciding custody, not a generic formula that puts the child’s welfare at risk."

This is what the bill actually says:

"The court shall order that the parental responsibility for a minor child be shared by both parents unless the court finds that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the child... If the court determines that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the child, it may order sole parental responsibility...

Whether or not there is a conviction of any offense of domestic violence or child abuse or the existence of an injunction for protection against domestic violence, the court shall consider evidence of domestic violence or child abuse as evidence of detriment to the child...

The court shall order sole parental responsibility for a minor child to one parent, with or without time-sharing with the other parent if it is in the best interests of the minor child...

A determination of parental responsibility, a parenting plan, or a time-sharing schedule may 524 not be modified without a showing of a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances and a determination that the modification is in the best interests of the child.

Determination of the best interests of the child shall be made by evaluating all of the factors affecting the welfare and interests of the particular minor child and the circumstances of that family" &mdash; Unsigned, by: 60.240.80.235 / talk
 * Sigh... Yes, a system that stereotypes the mother as the caregiver and then makes decisions based on that stereotype is sexist... We've covered this here. NEXT. 19:47, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
