Second state? Which was the first? I hadn't heard of this passing anywhere else.

OP’s comment from the crosspost u/Okymyo : “Like the title says, with SB18 becoming law, Arkansas has now become the 2nd state in the US to make joint custody the default. In the remaining 48 states, the law either explicitly or implicitly states that custody arrangements should favor the mother, with joint custody needing to be fought for and won.

The National Organization for Women, the largest feminist Organization in the US, has in the recent past opposed similar legislation, and successfully lobbied against SB 668 in Florida that would've instituted the presumption of shared custody, as well as eliminated alimony from ex-husband to ex-wife being the default on every divorce.”

"default" just means the court has authority to give full custody to either parent in certain "circumstances", right?

West Virginia just shot it down for the second year in a row. They make too much money from it. Our custody laws are still from the 70s. Smh.

Good on you, Arkansas.

Maybe Rags's was right when he said Arkansas was a fine place to live.
