The Bluegrass state’s law will help children nationwide in several ways. First, new shared parenting bills will be easier to pass elsewhere now that the precedent is set. Kentucky’s law will also touch other states as military parents flow to and from the state.
Our country’s military families serving at Fort Knox and Fort Campbell will be among the first to benefit. Interracial children will benefit too. “African Americans are more likely to be treated unfairly in family court. The new shared parenting law will give minority parents and children fairer legal outcomes,” said Jason Griffith, the Kentucky National Parents Organization’s Minority Outreach Director.
