QuoteIn 2018, Kentucky became the first state to pass a law making equally shared custody the default arrangement in divorces and separations. Four other states—Arkansas, West Virginia, Florida and Missouri—have since passed their own versions of Kentucky's custody bill. Around 20 more are considering or close to passing similar laws, according to an analysis by the National Parents Organization.
The law has become a model for other states, not least because Kentucky's divorce rate has plummeted. Between 2016 and 2023 it fell 25%, compared with a nationwide decline of 18%, according to an analysis by the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University.
