New York State, supposedly one of the most progressive in our nation, has the most conservative approach to divorce and separation. Why is that the case in 2021? New York was one of the first to allow gay and lesbian marriage legally. Why aren’t lawmakers enlightened about the role two parents play in rearing children after divorce?
