We, the undersigned, in recognition of our increasingly mobile society and the fact that custodial parents frequently move long distances from non-custodial parents,and in order to protect the interests of our children, request that the following legislation be enacted:

1.) That legitimate court orders for custody, partial custody, or visitation be enforceable, without regard to the residency of any of the parties involved, by means of the same reciprocal mechanisms currently used to enforce support orders.

2.) That issues of support, custody, and visitation be merged and considered by the courts as one issue for purposes of enforcement.

3.) That local courts be required to accept jurisdiction over visitation and custody orders issued by them, and enforce them, without regard the the residency of the defendant, and without time limits.

4.) That custodial parents must not unreasonably withold visitation from non-custodial parents without showing cause to the court, unless there is a clear and demonstrated danger to the children involved.

That's what I have in mind. Copy the petition, get lots of signatures, and present it to your state representative.Maybe some progress can be made at the state level. Comments? Suggestions? You can reach me by e-mail at: Dankimq@worldnet.att.net. If you want to lend support without the footwork, e-mail me. I will need your full name and address and , if you like, your e-mail address.I will keep a state by state list. A volunteer in each state who is willing to keep track of names and present this petition, complete with names,to a state representative, will be needed.If interested let me know. I will update these pages as time and my system's memory permit and post the addresses of each state volunteer.
