It's Time for Family Reunion
Family Reunion (FR) is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization that
reunites families that have been separated due to divorce, separation, or by destructive family laws and policies. We educate the public, media, and lawmakers on the importance of shared parenting, that grants both parents equal rights, responsibilities and parenting time – while also benefiting the children.

There are many reasons why people separate or divorce. But, whatever the reasons are, one thing is for sure; family breakdown is devastating to all involved. Children flourish in warm, supportive, and stable environments where both parents are emotionally, physically and financially responsible for them.

Our laws should stop the practice of empowering judges to make value
judgments between two competent parents in order to label one “custodial” and the other “non-custodial.” Until laws equally respect the bonds children share with both of their parents and encourages co-parenting and cooperation between divorced and separated parents…the movement for shared parenting will be here to stay.
We work with organizations, experts, and individuals dedicated to making much-needed changes to the destructive family court system so that the children's best interests can be supported.
How We Advocate
Family Reunion is dedicated to creating public awareness on the importance of shared parenting through our educational programs, videos, social networking, media campaigns, and advocacy programs.

We participate in local community events to share and disseminate information on shared parenting.

Family Reunion works with existing organizations, experts and individuals dedicated to making much-needed changes the destructive family court system so that children's best interests can be supported.

Family Reunion also reaches out to decision-makers at the State and Federal levels, as well as, civil rights organizations in order to educate them on the social pathologies that children face due to the current laws and policies that often encourage dishonest behavior by parents who use unjust leverage to gain full custody of children.

There must be change. The time is now. Please support Family Reunion!

Family Reunion is consistently in the media. We have written or have been quoted in news articles. Family Reunion was recently featured in a segment on Shared Parenting for a local NBC affiliate station. We are consistently disseminating press releases and distribute a weekly newsletter. We have been on local and national radio shows.
Internship Program
In 2014, Family Reunion implemented a successful internship program that offers many opportunities for energetic, talented and highly motivated undergrad and recent graduate students.

Family Reunion has partnered with California State University Bakersfield and Santa Barbara Business College to give their students the opportunity to earn college credits for their internship hours while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
Intern Testimonial
"I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to intern with Family Reunion during the Fall 2018 internship program. I was the Intern Coordinator and responsible for managing the other interns to ensure that all of their projects were on task. I have learned invaluable hands-on training skills through this internship that will help me when I graduate and seek future employment."
-Brenda Reyes
"Interning for Family Reunion as an Intern Coordinator has taught me many useful skills. I also learned about the time and dedication required to effectively run a national non-profit organization that advocates for a specific cause. I have enjoyed and greatly benefited from this experience and the hands-on training I received."
