ACFC is America's Shared Parenting Organization

The members of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children dedicate ourselves and our efforts to the creation of a family law system, legislative system, and public awareness which promotes equal rights for ALL parties affected by divorce, the breakup of a family or establishment of paternity.

ACFC is challenging the current system of American family law and family policy.  Through a national system of local affiliates and in alliance with other pro-family and civil liberties groups, ACFC is shifting the public debate to the real causes of family dissolution.

Shared Parenting Petition

 

Statement of Support

The signators below agree with the following principles respecting our nation’s children and encourage America’s leadership to develop policies which both reflect and support these principles.

"Children thrive with the active involvement of both parents.  Children and parents should be encouraged to spend substantial time with each other regardless of the parents’ present marital status.  The undersigned recognize that absent issues of abuse, neglect or abandonment, social and government policy must be structured in such a way as to promote and maximize the opportunity of all parents to contribute to the social, emotional, intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual development of their children."

To sign the petition please enter the information requested below. Your first name, last name, zipcode and email address are required. We do not sell or otherwise use your information without your consent. If you choose to opt into ACFC's newsletter you will receive updates on the petition and Shared Parenting news.  THANK YOU for participating.
