***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: proclaiming April 26, 2024, as Shared Parenting Day in Wisconsin.
Whereas, the State of Wisconsin recognizes that our children are our greatest
resource; and
Whereas, our children need emotional and parental support from both parents
to be as successful as possible; and
Whereas, separated parents who choose to share parenting duties significantly
decrease the chances of undesirable youth troubles and struggles; and
Whereas, shared parenting is shown to have a significantly positive effect on
children's well-being; and
Whereas, Wisconsin is currently the leading state in shared parenting
outcomes for children with separated parents; and
Whereas, increasing the public awareness of the importance of providing
children with the parental support they need from both parents benefits Wisconsin's
children, their parents, and all of Wisconsin's citizens; now, therefore, be it
