cosponsored by Representatives MURSAU, ARMSTRONG, O'CONNOR, SHEEHAN
and UDELL. Referred to Committee on Senate Organization.
Relating to: proclaiming April 26, 2025, 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 one of the leading states in shared parenting
outcomes for children with separated parents; and
Whereas, increasing 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
