Fathers & Families’ legislative representative Michael Robinson was instrumental in the 2009 passage of California SB 285, a bill to protect disabled parents from child support and alimony abuses in California. California laws have an enormous impact on those of other states, and now similar legislation is on the move across the country.
Indiana’s HB 1165 is moving rapidly through the Indiana legislature and is expected to be signed by Governor Mitch Daniels within the next few weeks. The force behind the bill is activist Lisa Wilken, who modeled her legislation on California SB 285.
