Jim Cook, the 'Father of Joint Custody,' Passes Away
 Jim Cook, often called "The Father of Joint Custody," passed away last week. He is pictured at the left along with Warren Farrell (right) and Dr. Ned Holstein (center). TIME magazine described Jim's work in 2003:
When James Cook, a Los Angeles real estate lobbyist, divorced in 1974 and sought shared custody of his son, "the judge thought it was preposterous," he recalls. "He told me, 'I don't have permission to do it.'"
Outraged, Cook and some friends organized the Joint Custody Association and in 1979 pushed through the California legislature the first law encouraging joint custody.
