This resolution proclaims April 26, 2025, as Shared Parenting Day in Wisconsin, recognizing the critical importance of children receiving emotional and parental support from both parents. The resolution highlights that when separated parents share parenting duties, it can significantly reduce the likelihood of youth problems and struggles, and research shows shared parenting has a positive effect on children's overall well-being. The document also notes that Wisconsin is already a leader in achieving positive shared parenting outcomes for children of separated parents. By designating this specific day, the resolution aims to increase public awareness about the benefits of providing children with comprehensive parental support from both parents, ultimately benefiting not just the children and parents directly involved, but the broader Wisconsin community. The resolution's preamble emphasizes that children are the state's most valuable resource and that supporting their emotional and developmental needs through shared parenting is a critical societal goal.
