Yes, this is off-topic. It is, however, the reason I haven’t been posting to this blog lately. In addition to finishing out some cases, I have been working on developing this 90-minute program for the past few months.
In what seems like a lifetime ago, I practiced family law. During that time, I witnessed first-hand the havoc the sole-custody regime wreaked on families, both parents and children. I’ve always believed there had to be a better way.
In this webinar, I will be presenting a brief overview of the joint custody and equal shared parenting laws of the fifty U.S. states. Professor Daniel Fernandez-Kranz will join me to talk about how equal shared parenting has been working in Spain. Kentucky family law attorney Carl Knochelmann, Jr. will talk about the impact Kentucky’s statute, which is the first-ever presumptive equal shared parenting time law, has been having. Professor Donald Hubin will round things out with a look at what can be learned from Ohio’s experiences with both equal shared parenting and the traditional sole custody model. He will also present findings about the interplay of equal shared parenting laws and domestic violence, based on data gathered from Kentucky and Ohio.
California has approved the webinar for 90-minutes of MCLE and LSCLE (family law specialist) continuing legal education credits. Continuing legal and mediator education credits are available in many other states as well.
The live webinar is on October 24, 2024. There will be a video replay on November 8, 2024.
