Broken: My Fight to Stop the Harmful Effects of Custody Laws (Paperback)

Broken is the story of one parent's fight for parental equality and his campaign to stop the harmful effects of custody laws.

From his experience, Joseph Cowles learned that custody is an inflammatory concept, which, when disputed, can rip families apart. Sole legal custody awards the major decision making responsibilities for a child to one parent, while legally disenfranchising the other. It is a volatile arrangement--one that should not exist.

This book tells Cowles' story and chronicles the steps he took to find a better path for families facing separation. He proposes a solution that considers the best interests and welfare of children, offers equal opportunity to parents, and better assists families into the next phase of their lives, while preserving the integrity and balance of the family.

This book will be an asset for parents facing custody challenges and is a must-read for those who have influence in shaping family law legislation.
