AB 1978 — California Equal Shared Parenting Act
Children do best with meaningful time with both parents.
AB 1978 creates a presumption of equal parenting time when both parents are fit, willing, able, and nearby — while keeping strong protections for children in abuse cases. California's legislature decides its fate. Your voice decides theirs.
