Welcome
Welcome to the Joint Parenting Association (JPA) a
national non-profit organization based in Adelaide, South
Australia. We appreciate you
coming to visit our website. Unlike many other
organizations with some of the same concerns, we are neither a
women’s group nor a men's group. Rather, we advocate what we believe
to be in the best interests of children, including the Children’s Bill Of
Rights.
For the child's benefit the JPA:
-
Advocates a rebuttable presumption of joint residence
following separation or divorce.
-
Advocates two parents and the kinship network
are the best first line of defence against poverty.
-
Works to transform the typical adversarial
divorce process into one of mandatory
mediation.
We
are not lobbyists but we do take positions on Bills before the state and
federal parliaments and attempt to keep lawmakers informed of our
advocacy.
