ACFC's media outreach program has placed over a thousand stories related to shared parenting and issues of concern to fathers, their children and families during the last eight years.  ACFC officers and spokesmen have appeared on every major network and been quoted in countless newspaper articles.  Additionally, we are regularly invited to participate in radio interviews and on-air discussions.   Scroll down for direct links to ACFC articles:  Click for video clips of ACFC media appearances:

"Shared Parenting is an issue which knows no bounds. It is neither the domain of conservatives or liberals, poor or wealthy, and pays no attention to ethnicity or sex. Our issues cross all demographics and our goals are shared, and should be supported, across all sectors of our society." Mike McCormick - January 2008	Custody's High Stakes By Gabriella Boston July 10, 2005 "We believe the baseline should be equal time," Mr. McCormick says, "We're encouraging states and courts to see there's a need for equality," he adds, referring to custody rulings.	Cover Article - Divorce As Revolution March, 2005 By Stephen Baskerville
The No-Blame Game: Why No-Fault Divorce Is Our Most Dangerous Social Experiment May 2005 By Stephen Baskerville "In liberal Massachusetts, a whopping 85% of voters....approve a non binding referendum giving fathers equality in custody decisions"	Why Is Daddy In Jail? For the crime of wanting to see his child, writes Stephen Baskerville Women's Quarterly "Someday Hollywood will make a movie of this:  A father is sentenced to prison for wanting to take his son to a ballgame...."	Pledge case puts chill on parental rights By Warren Richey June 17, 2004 "The impact is huge," says Michael McCormick of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children.  "There are 14 million noncustodial parents in this country who, if this decision is interpreted broadly, have lost the capacity to act on behalf of their children." When equal custody is law, who gains? By Marilyn Gardner June 24, 2004 "Noncustodial parents are becoming more vocal, they're becoming more organized, and they're beginning to demand accountability from elected officials," says Michael McCormick, director of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children.
Published Wednesday, January 19, 2000 in the Miami Herald ... "This should be a matter of parenting, not politics," ..... McCormick's words were echoed by a number of speakers.....and included several members of the U.S. House.....		June 16, 2004 "There is a day soon approaching when our society will look back and wonder why we ever promoted any custody arrangement founded on a premise other than shared parenting" says Mike McCormick, Executive Director for the American Coalition for Fathers and Children...."If the past thirty years have taught us nothing else-we have come to learn the broad social experiment of sole parent child rearing has failed."
