New York families deserve better. Too many children lose a loving parent after a divorce due to outdated custody laws. 

On April 19, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Abbey Inn in Peekskill, NY, the Shared Parenting Conference will unite 20-plus advocacy groups, leaders and experts to demand reform, making New York a Shared Parenting State that prioritizes kids’ bonds with both fit parents.

Attendees will hear speakers such as Rep. Jamie Flick, Don Hubin (National Parents Organization), Robert Garza, Summer Johnson (NY Families for Tomorrow), Anthony Gay (CT Dept. of Children & Families), Mark Ludwig (Americans for Equal Shared Parenting) and Stephon Boyd (Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation). Topics include research-proven benefits of shared parenting, court reform strategies, real stories of loss and gaining legislative momentum.

This is a movement for fairness, healing, and stronger families. Be part of history. RSVP at www.eventbrite.com/e/shared-parenting-conference-2026-tickets-1977853225239?aff=oddtdtcreator.
