Kids need love of both parents
It is time for Michigan to recognize and for citizens to demand that there be a fundamental right to parent your children within our state's constitution and family law. I implore everyone to actively support both 2008-HJR-NN the "parental rights" resolution and HB 4564 the "equal parenting bill." Children are a part of the family and they have the right to the love of both parents and their extended family too. Allowing the state without due process of law through the courts and government child welfare bureaucracies to interrupt the child-parent relationship has destroyed many childhoods and caused untold damage to our society. Parents should have the right to decide how their children are educated and medicated as long as there is no clear evidence that these choices will seriously harm their children. Allowing parents to raise children with their values and beliefs ensures a level of diversity that makes our society strong. In an intact family children benefit from the love and care of two parents involved significantly in their life. The state and divorce/custody industry operators create opposing parents that clash, costing large sums of money and destroying the child-parent relationship in the supermajority of cases. The state is allowed through the supposed best interest of the child criteria to pressure most fathers to relinquish custody to the mother or be denied custody in court. The standard visitation schedule averages out to four to six days a month based on age of the child and will never be changed unless the parents agree or there is clear and convincing evidence of problems in the custodial home. HB 4564 and HJR-NN will help ensure that children will have the stability and love of both of their fit, willing and able parents.
