A bill before the Massachusetts Legislature (SB834 and HB1207) urges Massachusetts courts to act in the best interest of children by ordering shared parenting for children in most cases after parents separate or divorce. The legislation proposes a significant change, because, contrary to popular belief, most divorces currently result in sole physical custody to one parent. Local state Senator Richard Ross – a co-sponsor of the bill – serves on the Judiciary Committee and will have an important vote on this bill very soon.
