Shared Parenting Conference

New York’s first Shared Parenting Conference in Peekskill on April 19, 2026, is a high-impact, solutions-focused gathering designed to transform how New York supports children and parents after separation or divorce. Hosted by former Peekskill Mayor André Rainey, Chair of the New York Chapter of the National Parents Organization, the event will feature four nationally recognized leaders in the shared parenting movement, bringing together families, mental health professionals, legal experts, advocates, and policymakers who believe every child deserves meaningful, ongoing relationships with both fit, loving parents. Through powerful keynote talks, real family stories, and clear legislative and policy action steps, the conference will spotlight the human cost of a system that too often sidelines one parent, and will mobilize attendees to advance equal shared parenting as a cornerstone of family law reform in New York.
