Research shows that when a couple splits, their kids do best when they spend equal time with both parents. In fact, 60 peer-reviewed studies have come to this conclusion. It s a message frequently championed by Emma Johnson, parenting activist and founder of the site WealthySingleMommy.com, and now, she has even more concrete proof of the downstream benefits of equal parenting. This week, Johnson published a survey of over 2,000 moms that looks at the connection between single moms income and time-sharing. Here s what you need to know. What the Survey Found
Johnson surveyed 2,279 single moms about their income, feelings about work and income, and their time-sharing arrangements with their kids dads. The main takeaway: There is a direct correlation between single-moms income and overall well-being and time sharing-equality with their children s dads, says the activist.
