Robert Pedersen Interviewed on KLT 98.9FM Regarding Michigan's Child Custody Laws

Robert Pedersen was interviewed last week on the Omlette and Finster Show on KLT 98.9 FM regarding the current state of child custody and child support laws in Michigan.   Title IV-D federal incentives were discussed in great detail. 

The website for A Child's Right received a huge traffic spike after the interview concluded.  Equal Parenting advocates should always seek media opportunities to get our message out in public.

Special thanks to Omlette and Finster for this opportunity!

Equal Parenting Cometh to the 27 Mile Iceman Cometh Mountain Bike Race

A Child's Right members are excited to spread awareness of the benefits of Equal Parenting at the upcoming November 7, 2009 Iceman Cometh Challenge Mountain Bike Race.  Members will not only be racing, but they will be spreading equal parenting awareness throughout this event.  Special brochures are being made for this event and our mountain bikers will be wearing custom made Equal Parenting Thermal Jerseys.

This race will be rather easy for those cyclists who participated in the 758 mile Equal Parenting Bike Trek.  The weather is always unpredictable at this time of year in Michigan.  The Iceman Cometh starts in Kalkaska, Michigan and ends 27 miles later in Traverse City, Michigan.  Below is a picture of the Iceman Cometh map which cuts through the Pere Marquette State Forest.

If you would like to volunteer and help spread awareness at this event please email Executive Director Darrick Scott-Farnsworth.  Support Equal Parenting and already registered for this event?  Join us at this event by contacting the email address noted above.  Look for updates in October 2009 at Cycling4Children.com

Obama Fund Fatherhood Now

Now that the Democrats are running DC and most of Lansing we need
to begin to communicate the need for DHS/CAPTA/VAWA/Title IV legislative
change. Looking at what has been proposed during the election we must
strike quickly to get our reform message in their ears. Obama's message of the
need for fathers and families needs to be directed towards legislative
changes that actually encourage the states to keep families intact and both
parents significantly involved with their children.
 

Here is Obama's site let him know what you think:

 

http://www.change.gov/page/s/yourvision/

 

 There is funding available and a drive by President Elect Obama to influence fatherhood so let's get busy.

 

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-s1626/text

 

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

 

Congress makes the following findings:

 

(1) The most important factor in a child's upbringing is whether the
child is brought up in a loving, healthy, supportive environment.

 

(2) Children who grow up with two parents are, on average, more likely
than their peers in single-parent homes to finish high school and be
economically self-sufficient.

 

(3) Father-child interaction, like mother-child interaction, has been
shown to promote the positive physical, social, emotional, and mental
development of children.

 

SEC. 107. STATE ASSESSMENTS OF BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL
SUPPORT OF CHILDREN.

 

(a) State Assessments and Reports- As a condition of the continued
approval of a State plan under part D of title IV of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 651 et seq.), each State with an approved such plan,
acting through the appropriate State agencies, shall assess the State
policies with respect to the issues described in subsection (b) and
submit a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the
results of such assessment not later than March 15, 2008.

 

(b) (5) Identification of any other barriers to healthy family formation
or sustainable economic opportunity for custodial and noncustodial
parents that are created or exacerbated by Federal or State laws,
policies, or procedures, including an examination of the rules of
Federal and State means-tested programs, the operation of the State
workforce system, the availability of financial education services, and
the availability of domestic violence services and child support
procedures to help victims of domestic violence stay safe and obtain the
child support they are owed.

 

(c) Grants to States for Commissions on State Law Improvements in the
Best Interest of Children and Families- The Secretary of Health and
Human Services shall award grants to States to establish or support
commissions to review the State assessment conducted in accordance with
subsection (a) and to make recommendations on ways to improve State law
in the best interest of children and families.

 

Make sure that the Obama administration puts the money where their mouths are.

 

"The federal government spends $99.8 billion dollars every year on
programs - such as child support enforcement and anti-poverty efforts -
that support father-absent homes"

Angry Fathers?!! Angry Over Child Abuse - Indeed!

Hey, non-custodial dad, have you ever been called an "ANGRY FATHER"?

Do such exist?

They sure do.

HOWEVER, according to Michigan's family law court system and American media, "Angry Fathers" are those who never bothered taking care of their children when they were married, don't care about their kids now, don't pay their child support, don't deserve to have custody of their kids now, and are those who contest the system for taking away their kids.

Well, they got the last one right, anyway.

Yes.  Absolutely.  ANGRY FATHERS do indeed exist.

In fact, I am one of them.

I am angry with the Michigan family law court system, and its entourage of others who presume to think they know what is best for my two daughters, and those who make their living off of destroying our families.

I have been termed an ANGRY FATHER, because:

1:  I know that I am a loving, capable, and fit parent, who wants to raise my children in the proper manner, as they deserve. I demand to do so, and be left alone by our government so I can.

2:  I contest, and fight, the family law court system because they have committed child abuse-on my daughters, and thousands of other sons and daughters in Michigan.

3:  The system has violated our guaranteed, fundamental rights, under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  The 14th. PROHIBITS a state from doing what they do hundreds of times every day-remove a child from the life and home of a loving, caring, and fit parent. I personally resent this.

4:  My personal income, the very source I need to support my children as well as myself is forcibly taken from me on a weekly basis.  This paid ransom brings in federal dollars, from Title IV-D, to reward Michigan for removing my daughters from the only safe, stable and secure home they will know as children. These federal dollars are taken from EVERYONE'S paycheck, as social security withholdings.  YES-including YOURS!!!

5:  I have been reduced to a "visitor" in the lives of my daughters.

6:  EVERYONE seems to have a vested interest in deciding when I see my children, how long I see them, if I even see them at all, and even used to determine how I saw them. My daughters and I had to endure "supervised parenting time" for six weeks after the custody fight, in which I had to PAY to see my daughters for a one-hour period.

7:  We have a government that routinely turns its head away from us, closes its ears, refuses to listen, refuses to see what is happening, and gives us occasional "lip service" in an attempt to pacify us, withhout any real desire or intent to change the system.

And let's not forget the ones that REALLY PISS OFF THE SYSTEM:

8:  I write letters to newspapers, educating the people of Michigan as to the realities of the Michigan family law court system.

9:  I take part in rallies, meets, and other events.  Some are demonstrations.  Some are protests.  Others are educational in nature.

10:   I write my county commissioners, state elected officials, and federal elected officials, in complaint of what is happening.

11:  Finally, I take whatever further action that I, solo, or in agreement with others, determine will be of benefit to the Equal Parenting cause/movement.

But, let's not forget the biggest reasons why some of us are called ANGRY FATHERS.  It is because we refuse to roll over, refuse to accept what the FOC and judges do, fight handing our income over to bureaucrats as ransom and extortion money, and we actually and actively stand up for ourselves, our rights as parents, and for our children.

The system does NOT like this.

For those of you who are truly an ANGRY FATHER, in the fight such as myself, I applaud you.

In my humble opinion, if everything that has happened to you and your children since the begginning of your divorce/custody case does NOT make you angry, there is something seriously wrong with you.

The next step is to properly earn the title of ANGRY FATHER.

Stand up, become actively involved, stay actively involved, and tell our government bureaucrats NO MORE!

Tell EVERYONE that a child has the right to the love, care, guidance, education and nurturing of both of their fit, able, and willing parents.  To deny a child this is CHILD ABUSE!!

A Father Of Two.

Parents-It's Back To School Time!!

Students (and parents, too), welcome back to school!

Some kids are yelling "yes".  Others are crying "no!!".  Parents are relieved, with a "finally".

I have some words of wisdom for all of you parents, especially for the non-custodial ones amongst us.

Please, please, please, make sure that all the paperwork for all of your children is properly filled out, and returned directly to the school office as soon as possible.  The contact information, with the correct phone numbers, complete with emergency numbers, is essential.  Also of great importance is WHO can pickup your children from school, and if your child will be picked up, or will ride a bus home.   Release forms, allowing your child to travel in-district to events, plays, field trips, and the like are also included in the packages this time of year.

For all of you non-custodial parents, double-check the following, PLEASE!!:

1.  That the PROPER contact information is on the form for your child(ren), including that for BOTH you and the custodial parent, if you share joint legal custody, including name, relationship, home number, and work number.

2.  That only the PROPER people to pick up your child(ren) from school are on the "approved" list.

3.  Please check to make sure that BOTH of you sign and date the release forms, including any "medical release" or "medication at school" forms. 

4.  Double-check EVERYTHING-every single form, if they have been filled out by the custodial parent, just to be absolutely sure.

Why double check everything?

From a voice of experience-when my first born daughter was enrolled for kindergarten four years ago, our public school district did NOT even know she had a father.  My ex- had DELIBERATELY left off ANY and ALL contact information for me, and we share joint legal custody.  It took over two months of conversations with the school administrators, and several PROMISES as to what was going to happen if they did not rectify the situation IMMEDIATELY.  Also, never make any threats whatsoever.  Make true, sincere, promises of what actions you WILL take to correct the "oversights" if they happen, AND THEY WILL.  School administrators tend to listen when they see a determined, honest, and sincere parent in front of them.  When my youngest daughter was enrolled in school two years ago there were no such problems.

Also, make sure that you are properly informed of picture days, so you can order your own, and not rely on the other parent.  Make sure you are on the school's mailing list, for monthly newsletters and the like.  Make absolutely certain that you are notified of ALL parent-teacher conference dates, and set an appointment for them!  I had to "inconvenience" them the first year, insisting that I also meet with my daughter's teacher.  They very quickly got used to this involved father, and I now have a good relationship with the school principle and the teachers.

If you possibly can, VOLUNTEER at your child's school.  Many options are available for this, and few fathers take advantage of them.  Most PTO's and other school organizations are largely made up of women-and the kids are missing out on the "male perspective" on things.  Besides, volunteering to read to a class, perhaps put on a special presentation based upon your career or employment, or go as a chaperone on a field trip is NOT gender-exclusive.  And, yes, they have special forms for this too, to make sure that only respectfull, well-meaning, and SAFE individuals can get anywhere near YOUR children.

Regardless of the relationship with your ex-spouse, this is your child(ren)'s education.  Put aside the differences, and work together, to provide your child a productive, happy, safe, and educational school year experience!

By the way, non-custodial parent, you SHARE your child(ren) pick-up responsibilities with the other parent, RIGHT?  If not, pick that as an essential goal, work for it, and make it happen! 

Do NOT make the mistake of expecting the courts or your local FOC office to enforce "joint legal custody" guidelines.  They won't.  My advice-deal directly with the school first, if you encounter any problems.  Show them you are sincere, and mean business.  Earn their respect, if you can.

After all, children deserve the right to the love, care, guidance, EDUCATION, and nurturing of BOTH fit, willing, and able parents.  Denying a child any of this is child abuse!

Parental and Civil Rights Alliance Launched by A Child's Right

A Child's Right recently launched the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance.  The rare opportunity to form a Meetup Alliance is by invite only and not open to the general public.  Quite the honor! In less than two days this Alliance already has 26 organizations that have joined with over 53,000 collective members!  Incredible results in a short period of time and we expect the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance to be listed in the Top 10 Largest Meetup Alliance list.

Please join the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance.  Great way to pull more people into your local group.  26  groups and growing!

Only those who want to start a group or already have one (via Meetup, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, active website, etc.) can join the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance right now. If you don't want to be a group organizer, you can find an existing group on the internet, Meetup, Facebook, MySpace, etc and ask them to join the alliance.  Or start your own group right here in the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance.

If you have a leadership role in a local group or organization you should join the Parental and Civil Rights Alliance for the following benefits:
1)  The Parental and Civil Rights Alliance is a fantastic tool to help parental and civil rights activists all over the country to meet and organize in person.
2)  Network with similar organizations and groups to increase turnout at your local events.
3)  Learn from the successes and failures of local groups.
4)  Give your local organization an additional web presence with link.  Thousands of people visit the main page for Meetup Alliance daily and look for a local group in their area...look at it like the yellow pages – but this is free!
5)  Increase your membership totals in your local organization.  The Parental and Civil Rights Alliance allows those who come across it on the internet to search for a local group in their area.
6)  Want to carpool to a national event?  Research local groups and consolidate resources for a successful turnout.
7)  Network with Meetup groups, Yahoo groups, Facebook groups, MySpace groups and more!
8)  Expose your next event or meeting to a national audience!
9)  Create your own group's resource page.
10)  Finally create an international coalition of parental and civil rights activists!

Creating your own Alliance is not open to the public and the chance to grow this was given to me on an invite only basis from Meetup.  They are still in a Beta run and new features will be added very soon!

Meetup Alliance is the best way for leaders of local groups to share, learn and communicate.
Joining is free and will only take a minute. Just click the link below:

Equal Parenting Cyclist Robert Pedersen - Front Page Detroit News, Mitch Albom Show, and the Dave Jaconette Show

Beyond Incredible!  Equal Parenting Cyclist, Co-founder of A Child's Right, DaddyBlogger and Detroit News featured fatherhood blogger Robert Pedersen made the FRONT PAGE of the Detroit News. This front page story with color photo was done by reporter Kim Kozlowski of the Detroit News.  This is Michigan's largest newspaper in the state of Michigan with overlapping coverage in Indiana and Ohio.  Circulation total is well over 300,000!

The article online also reached such popular demand that Detroit News placed in on their homepage and added additional online resources to the story.  They also linked to Robert Pedersen's blog with the Detroit News - he is one of their featured fatherhood bloggers.

The article by reporter Kim Kozlowski is still, after 24 hours in their most popular section on the homepage of the Detroit News.  With this success of this article Detroit News also conducted an online survey which is overwhelmingly in favor of shared parenting.

Be sure to comment on the article and vote in their online poll.  Also be sure to visit Robert Pedersen's blog with the Detroit News and comment on his four articles with many more to come.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Today Robert Pedersen was also on the Mitch Albom Show which is nationally syndicated and has a massive audience in the state of Michigan.  Not only does Mitch have a popular radio show, but he is also author of many books such as Tuesdays with Morrie and is a frequent guest on shows like Oprah and more.

 

Prior to the Mitch Albom show Robert interviewed on the Dave Jaconette Show out of Kalamazoo.  Robert seemed very impressed with Jaconette's interviewing style.  We are hoping to get recordings of the interviews.

Shocking Documentary on Family Courts in America

Support?  System Down is making its premiere this evening in California.  The intention of the filmmaker is to bring this film to other states including Michigan.  A Child's Right and Cycling4Children are both official sponsors of this documentary.

This documentary is truly shocking and will put you through an emotional rollercoaster.  According to the film’s website, “Support? explores the fundamental flaws in America’s Family Courts regarding the Divorce and Child Support System. The film explores the problems through over 38 interviews with both custodial and non-custodial parents and the attorneys, judges and county employees on both sides of the paradigm.”

View all four shocking trailers:

Corruption

It’s About The Kids

Divorce is Ugly Business

Military Soldiers Caught in the Crossfire of the Family Court Systems

The four trailers will show you the high quality of this film. We will most certainly keep our readers informed of the upcoming release in Michigan as soon as I receive a date. If you live near the showing in California be sure to purchase tickets now!

Associated Press (AP) Photographer Takes Pictures of Equal Parenting Bike Trek Cyclist Robert Pedersen

A very interesting process.  An Associated Press (AP) Photographer took a couple hundred pictures of Robert Pedersen training for the 758 mile Equal Parenting Bike Trek from Lansing MI to Washington D.C.  This happened very early in the morning today.  We were told that other newspapers and media organizations can buy these photos from AP to utilize in their stories.  We did confirm that some of these pictures will be used by THE largest newspaper in the state of Michigan - their total circulation is over 300,000!!!  We will let you know when this will be published.  Stay tuned!

Michigan House Bill 4564 Testimony by Derek Bailey, MSW of Dance4Equaltiy

A Child's Right had the pleasure of urging Derek Bailey, MSW and Dance4Equality to attend the hearings for Michigan House Bill 4564.  American Indian Shared Parenting Organization, Dance4Equality was present outside of the House Building Office performing their spiritual dance in support of Michigan House Bill 4564.  Derek Bailey, Tonia Bailey, Robert Pedersen and myself (Angela) had an excellent time the night before the hearings learning much about the culture of Derek Bailey's tribe which is located in Michigan.  We experienced an amazing connection with the couple and are so proud to call them close friends.  To see some of the members of Dance4Equality walk into the hearing room was breathtaking to say the least!  A Child's Right is proudly affiliated with Dance4Equality.

Derek Bailey, MSW did an outstanding job outlining how shared parenting would positively impact his tribal community.  He also did an incredible job explaining his viewpoint as a state of Michigan licensed clinical social worker and MSW.  Dance4Equality CLEARLY "put themselves on the map" in Lansing as a leading shared parenting organization in Michigan.  There was a tremendous sense of pride by all who supported Michigan House Bill 4564 when Dance4Equality was present.

Michigan House Bill 4564 and Michigan House Joint Resolution NN in the Kalamazoo Gazette

Yet another LTE printed by A Child's Right.  Darrick Scott-Farnsworth in the Kalamzazoo Gazette.

Support Equal Parenting Measures in Legislature

It is time for Michigan to recognize and for citizens to demand there be a fundamental right to parent your children within the state's constitution and family law. To this end, I implore everyone to actively support both the ``parental rights'' resolution and House Bill 4564, the ``equal parenting bill.''

Children are a part of the family and they have the right to the love of both of their 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. Demonstrating to children that the family is important by making sure that both parents and the entire family are respected will give children the courage to have a family of their own.

In divorce 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 because they want to create winners and losers instead of promoting joint custody.

HB 4564 and Resolution NN will help ensure that children will have the stability and love of both of their fit, willing and able parents.

Special thanks to all of our readers of DaddyBlogger.com!  We especially appreciate a special reader who visits daily from Mishawaka Indiana. :)  All readers should check this out.

The Case for Shared Parenting and Joint Physical Custody - It's About The Kids!

Children have a fundamental right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated equally by both fit and willing parents - to deny this is child abuse.

We will be updating a comprehensive list in support of shared parenting on a regular basis.  If you have additional research that is not in our comprehensive list please email us at [email protected] and we will promptly add it.

Those who deny children of this God given right are child abusers!  In fact, Dr. Marc J. Ackerman who is considered to be THE national expert on child custody now recommends joint physical custody unless if a child's life is directly threatened by a parent.

View our comprehensive list in support of shared parenting

Remember folks we have the moral high ground here so never stop fighting for what is in the best interests of your children.

Darrick Scott-Farnsworth's article in the Battle Creek Enquirer. Michigan House Bill 4564 and HJR-NN

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.

Ray Upchurch, filmmaker of "Daddy Hunger", states “I never want to see another child fatherless and with a DADDY HUNGER challenging their ability to be happy and function with positive self-esteem and confidence. Look at the growing prison population, school systems, and communities.  Generations and generations of fatherless children are suffering. The cycle has got to stop!”

Another Equal Parenting Rights Activist Soon to Join A Child's Right

Anthony Caius Pedersen will be born literally any day now!  We are so excited we can barely contain ourselves! 

Angela and Robert Pedersen

P.S. Rumor has it that Anthony Caius Pedersen will be born with full battle gear as a patriot of smaller government and Equal Parenting Rights!  Government has no place in families.

Children have a fundamental and God-given right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated EQUALLY by both fit and willing parents.  To deny this is wrong. Six days a month is child abuse.

   

A Smashing Success - National Fatherhood Summit - Jan 4 2008 Grand Rapids, MI

Delete, of Michigan Father's Rights Coalition, educates Mike Huckabee on benefits of Equal Parenting Rights

Michigan activists are ON FIRE!  All across Michigan Equal Parenting Advocates are educating elected officials and Presidential candidates about the benefits of Equal Parenting Rights.  Delete of Michigan Father's Rights Coalition is seen below educating Mike Huckabee about how children benefit from equal parenting rights.  Delete was a critical part of the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek.

Mike Saxton, a district advocate for A Child's Right and Dads and Moms of Michigan, spoke directly with Mike Huckabee.

Here is Mr. Saxton's account: "At a press conference today at Demmer Corp. in Lansing Michigan I had the opportunity to discuss shared parenting with Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

First I asked if he supported the proposed "Family Preservation and Reconciliation Act" to which he replied he was unfamiliar. I was able to provide him with volume 34 #3 of The Liberator which contains the text of the proposed Act and also a brochure from Dads & Moms of Michigan.

Second, I explained that there were over 1 million non-custodial parents in Michigan and over 25 million in the US; if you were elected President what would you do you ensure that children have equal access to both fit parents, regardless of marital status? He replied that he supports shared parenting.

Third, we discussed Michigan's shared parenting bill HB 4564 and I asked if he would endorse it. He replied that he hadn't read it but that he does support shared parenting. Rep. Rick Jones was also present at the press conference and in response to my request has forwarded a copy of HB 4564 to Governor Huckabee's office.

I suggest that we all ask our Representatives and Senators to ask the candidates their stance on shared parenting, and for an endorsement of our HB 4564, as they accompany them on the campaign trail. Please check the evening news for coverage of the press conference."

Note the excellent use of the ACFC newspaper "The Liberator"!

Ned Holstein, M.D., M.S. Delivers 300 Falsly Accused Fathers' Stories

Incredible job by Ned Holstein, M.D., M.S. and his organization Fathers and Families!  300 Falsely Accused Fathers' Stories were hand delivered to Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.  See the full story on Glenn Sacks' blog. 

We also appreciate Glenn's story mentioning the activity of A Child's Right at a recent Romney Rally in Battle Creek, Michigan.  See story below.

False Accusations of PPO violations and domestic violence are often used during child custody disputes as a way to remove the father permanently from his children.  This is common practice for certain women with personality disorders.  They learn to hate their ex-spouse more than they love their children.  To use this tactic is sick and another form of child abuse.
