From Equality for Boys and Men

Lisa Scott is a family law/divorce attorney based in Bellevue who represents approximately an equal share of male and female clients. Co-founder of Taking Action Against Bias in the System (TABS), Lisa has fought for equal justice and gender equality in the family courts since the ’90s.

Lisa spoke with Equality for Boys and Men about matters in Washington state. We broke the footage down into multiple short videos, of which the first was about the difficulty of fighting for fairness for men in Washington, the second was about what it’s like being a woman advocating for men, and this third one is about how the the huge increase in equal shared parenting in Washington is good news for kids. The reason we say the cultural shift toward 50/50 custody arrangements is especially good news for boys is that it has resulted in more boys spending more time with their fathers. The rate of increase of sons spending time with their same-sex parent (their dad) has exceeded the rate of increase of daughters spending time with their same-sex parent (their mom).
