CPF chapter hosts state rep candidates

State rep candidates Terry Meehan (D), running in the 16th Worcester district, and Doug MacLean (R) running in the 3rd Middlesex, heard the concerns of non-custodial fathers at the August meeting of the North Central chapter of CPF-The Fatherhood Coalition. Meehan is well known to advocates from his own custody battle in Worcester. He understands the issues well, and will be a staunch father's rights advocate when he is in the State House.

MacLean was largely unaware of the issues affecting divorced fathers.

After a presentation by Mark Charalambous (available at the CPF web site at www.fatherhoodcoalition.org/inthenews/Fr-absence.doc), there was an open dialog with a free exchange of views.
