Every child deserves meaningful access to both loving parents.

Across America, millions of children are growing up separated from one parent — not because that parent is dangerous, abusive, or unwilling to be involved, but because outdated systems and policies too often create conflict, imbalance, and family division instead of cooperation and unity.

Children need emotional support.
Children need financial support.
But most importantly, children need love, guidance, stability, presence, and meaningful relationships with both parents whenever safely possible.

Too many children are growing up watching their families torn apart by systems that prioritize conflict, enforcement, and financial metrics over long-term family connection and child well-being.

Too many fathers feel pushed out.
Too many mothers feel overwhelmed.
And too many children are left caught in the middle.

This is not about attacking mothers.
This is not about attacking fathers.
And this is not about eliminating child support.

This is about creating a more balanced, child-centered approach that protects children financially while also protecting their emotional well-being and their right to maintain healthy relationships with both fit and loving parents.

The Bringing Families Back Together & Child Support Equity Act is a child-centered, bipartisan proposal designed to modernize family policy in America by encouraging shared parenting where appropriate and safe, increasing accountability and transparency, strengthening family unity, and promoting healthier co-parenting outcomes for future generations.

This reform would:

• Encourage a national presumption of shared parenting where appropriate and in the best interest of the child
• Modernize outdated federal incentive structures to prioritize family cooperation, parental involvement, and child well-being — not enforcement metrics alone
• Increase transparency and accountability within Title IV-D child support enforcement practices
• Encourage modernization of family court systems to better reflect equal parenting and child-centered outcomes
• Protect children’s financial support while also protecting meaningful parent-child relationships
• Promote healthier co-parenting dynamics that reduce conflict and strengthen long-term family stability

Children should never feel forced to choose between financial support and a meaningful relationship with a loving parent.

We can protect both.

This movement is about restoring balance.
Restoring accountability.
Restoring family connection.
And most importantly — restoring children’s access to the love, guidance, and presence they deserve.

If you believe children deserve both parents, healthier family structures, stronger co-parenting, and policies that bring families together instead of pushing them apart, add your name today.
