"Father’s Rights means more time, not less, with your children." 

Article gives the real scoop!

http://www.copss.org/media/coastfr.htm

 

"Most Fathers' Rights organizations in this country are working to increase--rather than decrease--fathers' involvement in their children's lives. They advocate a man's right to be a better father, not a man's right not to be a father."

"When a women gives birth to a child she can't support, the state gives her money," she says. "When a man does the same thing, we put him in jail."

More feminine wisdom – not feminist lunacy – from Globe columnist, Cathy Young

.http://www.womensfreedom.org/artic551.htm

 

"The belief that the mother-child bond is closer than the father-child bond, and that the disruption of this bond will cause more pain to both child and mother, remains powerful -- whether it's articulated or not…

…Maybe we should start with the assumption that both mother and father are fit unless proven otherwise. Then, the question would not be who wins and who loses, but how to best preserve the child's relationship with both parents."

Study: Shared Parenting Reduces the Emotional Trauma of Divorce for Children

http://www.execpc.com/~jluscher/sprigf/no5.html

 

"Shared parenting after divorce benefits mothers. By dividing the parental time commitment between both parents, shared parenting gives Mom some time off to pursue her education, work late to advance her career, or to enjoy some leisure activities. With shared parenting, Mom still has substantial time to continue her very important role in the lives of the children. With shared parenting, mothers are less stressed and therefore better parents and workers."

"Having both parents so actively involved in their lives benefits children considerably…One of the advantages to this arrangement is that children usually are spared the arguing and nastiness that can accompany divorce proceedings, and aren't deprived of one of their parents."

STOP GENDER BIAS IN MASSACHUSETTS' FAMILY COURTS!

SUPPORT BILL S. 813

…"A father who is not divorced, and who only saw his children every second weekend due to a heavy work-load, golf, baseball, hockey, nights with the boys...whatever, would be deemed a neglectful parent by most of society. We agree. Why is it, then, that when a couple divorces, our society and justice system deems every second weekend access to a non-custodial parent's children the "norm," and what's "in the children's best interest?" It's obvious by this comparison that children are suffering extreme emotional hardship due to our present gender-biased system."

Wayne Morsky, a wise Dad.
