A JOINT RESOLUTION designating April 26 of each year to be

WHEREAS, children are Wyoming's most important asset; and
WHEREAS, shared parenting is an arrangement under which
parents who are separated or divorced are given joint
decision-making authority and shared parenting time; and
WHEREAS, research indicates that children benefit greatly if
they have a good relationship with both parents who are fit
caregivers; and
WHEREAS, shared parenting arrangements offer children the
benefit of building a relationship with each parent, provide
parents with the opportunity to ensure the healthy mental,
physical and emotional development of their children and
create   venues  for   parents   to   engage  in   positive,
collaborative efforts geared toward the well-being of their
children; and
WHEREAS, shared parenting arrangements recognize that even
though the intimate relationship between the parents has
ended, the familial relationships continue and require
nurturing   and  cultivation  to   support  healthy  child
development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY      THE   MEMBERS   OF   THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WYOMING:
