The Good Dad Act Committee makes major Legislative Gains in 2025 lead by Dr Bernard Wh Jennings

Every child deserves the active involvement of both parents. We are not just changing laws; we are healing families and ensuring that the title of 'Dad' is respected by the legal system from day one.”
— Dr hc Bernard Wh Jennings, Author & Chairman, Good Dad Act Committee

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, December 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Good Dad Act Committee, a national advocacy organization dedicated to securing equal parental rights for unwed fathers, is proud to announce a year of historic progress. As 2025 draws to a close, the "Good Dad Act" has moved from a Florida-based initiative to a national legislative powerhouse, fundamentally changing the landscape of family law across the United States.
For decades, legal systems have placed an undue burden on unmarried fathers, often requiring expensive and lengthy court battles to secure rights that should be inherent. The Good Dad Act seeks to rectify this by ensuring that once paternity is established, fathers are automatically granted the same legal rights and responsibilities as mothers.
2025 Legislative Milestones
The movement reached critical turning points this year as more states moved to end outdated biases in family court:
Alabama Victory: In November 2025, the Governor signed the Alabama Good Dad Act into law, with implementation scheduled for 2026.
• North Carolina Success: House Bill 780 officially passed, establishing a framework for implementation on July 1, 2025.
• National Momentum: Florida’s 2023 law continues to serve as the gold standard, while active legislation and committee reviews are currently underway in Kentucky, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana and Georgia. In Forsyth, Georgia State Representative Carter Barrett is leading the charge to move the Good Dad Act legislation forward.

A Community of Support: 130 Meetings and Counting

The movement is about more than just policy; it is about people. Since the law initially passed in Florida, the Good Dad Act Committee has held 130 consecutive weekly meetings. These online gatherings have provided a lifeline to hundreds of dads, offering the emotional support and procedural guidance they desperately needed to navigate complex legal hurdles and reconnect with their children.
