On March 26, 2015, the Gloucester Times in Gloucester, Massachusetts, quoted National Parents Organization Founder and Board Chair Ned Holstein, MD, MS, in the story “Joint custody bill gets mixed reviews on Beacon Hill.”
The story featured Massachusetts’ active shared parenting legislation and stated, “Holstein said studies have shown that shared parenting reduces conflict and domestic violence and allows both parents to ‘pursue their careers and social lives without the burden of singlehandedly raising a child.’
The story quoted Holstein as saying, “That breakdown of gender roles has been very slow to come to family probate courts.”
