Abstract

The November 2014 elections included a North Dakota voter initiative emblematic of the vigorous debate taking place nationwide about child custody.

The “Parental Rights Initiative” required courts to award “equal parenting time” to both parents after divorce or separation. The measure was defeated by a sizable margin (62% to 38%) but it represents only the latest round in a combustible campaign to change how child custody cases are decided.
