The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 24, which proclaims April 26, 2025, as Shared Parenting Day in the state. This resolution emphasizes the importance of both parents providing emotional and parental support to their children, particularly in cases of separation. It highlights research indicating that shared parenting can significantly reduce the likelihood of youth issues and enhance children's overall well-being.

The resolution also acknowledges Wisconsin's leadership in promoting positive shared parenting outcomes and aims to raise public awareness about the benefits of shared parenting for children, parents, and the broader community. By designating a specific day to recognize this concept, the legislature seeks to encourage more families to adopt shared parenting practices, ultimately benefiting the state's youth and society as a whole.
