Have we created a Matriarchy that is bankrupting nations, abusing children?

Have we created a Matriarchy that is bankrupting nations, abusing children?

The new feminism (second wave [the radicals]) who have to be a part of
everything male while acting in a misandric fashion are creating a sadistic
Matriarchy across the globe. If Men and women split everything 50/50 and
women get 50% of the man's 50 and 7/8ths of the remaining twenty five
percent as special entitlements that equals 97.25% - maybe that is why
females make the majority of retail purchases.

I can envision men reading this crossing their legs, wringing their hands
uncomfortably almost whining: I hope they read the rest of this, check out
the links, STOP, breathe and then reflect: the truth is in the studies. We
have for decades lazily subscribed to urban myth even though lies have been
proven and dispelled:

All mothers probably are not that violent despite the ones we have seen

we are afraid to discuss it) at least some moms utilize the electronic

upon all of those poor families that the current budget debacle will cause.
I am certain the Bishop truly had in mind social injustice to less fortunate

lamenting a minor loss in funding for the enabling of single mother homes

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"

PARENTAL RIGHTS Activist Labeled A "Woman Hater"

Yes, it's true.

A couple of days ago, a female co-worker called me a "woman hater".

Never mind the fact that I have spoken with her on several occasions about the subject of EQUAL PARENTING, and pending Michigan legislation that would mandate our family courts to order joint physical custody.

This particular co-worker is a divorced woman herself, and was a custodial mother.  I have never heard her admit if or how she may have benefitted from the system. Previously, she had always seemed in agreement to the points I made in our talks.

Somehow, my volunteer work as an advocate and activist for father and parental rights has one female co-worker labeling me as a woman hater.

Actually, this is about the tenth time I have been called a "woman hater", right to my face, at my workplace.

This is a prime example of the gender-bias that DOES exist in America, when the subjects of EQUAL PARENTING  or JOINT CUSTODY enter a discussion.

This is a prime example of the ignorance of the American public.  A website for non-custodial mothers, the National Association of Non-Custodial Moms, Inc. , states there are about 2.2 MILLION non-custodial mothers in the US.  A couple of months ago, I heard a new statistic that stated there were just under FOUR MILLION non-custodial mothers in the US.

Whatever the true number, American women need to acknowledge the facts here, and realize that, just because most of us are men, we are advocating for PARENTAL RIGHTS. There are many women in our activist ranks also, step-mothers, non-custodial moms, and others.  Parents still do come in both genders, in spite of how the family courts treat one-half of a divorcing couple with children in this country.

It is far past time that PARENTS are treated like PARENTS, regardless of their gender.

When the truth is told, very few of my female co-workers like to hear anything of EQUAL PARENTING or JOINT CUSTODY.

Ladies, why is this??

And, by the way, my advocacy work has also earned me the "titles" of fanatic, lunatic, and chauvenist at my workplace also, with most of the comments made behind my back, but some made right to my face.

Ladies, what's up with the name calling, when I am working for PARENTS and their children?

Do you not want children raised by BOTH fit, willing, and able parents?

Welfare for the Affluent 

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!!

Parents-Divorced, Divorcing, Or Unmarried-An Open Letter To You

Divorced, divorcing, unmarried, or separated parents, YOU have an important choice to make!

You can choose to believe the anti-family and anti-father biased rhetoric from Michigan's Friend of the Court and the rest of the family law court system with its judges, attorneys, custody evaluators, psychologists and social workers...

OR...

You can choose to educate yourself as to the truth, facts, and realities of HOW and WHY there MUST be a "non-custodial" parent chosen by the FOC and courts, AND why a child's time  with a non-custodial is  limited, normally to every-other weekend and a couple of hours one night a week.

Ever heard of Social Security's Title IV-D?

Do you know that Michigan, and every other state too, is REWARDED for removing a FIT, WILLING and ABLE parent from the lives of his or her children?

Perhaps you thought your social security taxes went only to retirement and disability funds....

Perhaps you thought that the mother gets physical custody in about 85% of divorce/custody matters in Michigan because of gender bias, or perhaps you really believe what "the system" and todays media says about American fathers.

Perhaps you can get some answers from your attorney, but usually all he or she does is take thousands of your dollars, and you and your children still lose.

You can, and should, contact the parental and family rights organizations listed below.  Neither can provide attorneys, or legal advice.

What they can provide, though, is essential information, for YOU to become enlightened and educated as to the truth, facts, and realities of what has, and is, happening to you and your children, and WHY!

This is not just YOUR fight.  Alone, the system will devastate you. Become a part of the TEAM EFFORT to stop the destruction wrought on our families by the Michigan Family Law Court System.

YOU can choose to make a difference, or you can choose to sit there, and cry.  Which is it going to be?

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!

UPDATES ON THE 2008 EQUAL PARENTING BIKE TREK

AUGUST IS CHILD SUPPORT AWARENESS MONTH

**From a NEW author writing for DaddyBlogger.com!!**  "A Father of Two"  Be sure to tell us what you think and comment below - requires NO account.  

August has been proclaimed as "Child Support Awareness Month" in Michigan and throughout the United  States.

Michigan's Family Law Court System would have you continue to support the outdated, biased, and stereotyped notion that a divorced, non-custodial parent (about 85% of the time the father), is good for nothing other than paying child support dollars into the system.

This is done to maximise the federal incentive dollars awarded to the states under Title IV-D of the Social Security System, which rewards every state for forcibly removing a fit, willing, and able parent from the life of his or her children.

"Supporting" your child does not come down to a divorced parent having a large part of their paycheck taken into this system to justify financial rewards.

Reasons to Support Shared Parenting

As a father of two, the following is my take on what "child support" really is, from A to Z.  I hope you take the following to heart.  These are just some of what I do, as a divorced, non-custodial father, to "support" my children.

A.  Show AFFECTION for your children.  Give them an ALLOWANCE for doing their chores.

B. Give them a proper BREAKFAST to start the day with.  Make BATH time a fun, and clean experience.

C. CHALLENGE your children to rise to new heights.  Increase their CONFIDENCE.

D.  Appropriately and timely DISCIPLINE  your children.

E.  Set the proper EXAMPLE for them to learn by.  Take them on ERRANDS with you.

F.  Have FUN with your children.

G.  GIGGLE and laugh with your kids.  "GOOD JOB"-Praise them for good effort.

H.  HUG your youngsters.  Provide them a proper and safe HOME.

I.  Embrace their INDEPENDENCE as they grow, but always be ready to wrap them in your arms.

J.  JOKE with your children.  Enjoy the lighter side of things.

K.  KIDS will be KIDS.  Let them be the wonderful youngsters they are.

L.  LOVE your children.  Tell them "I love you", often, and mean it!!  Give them a nutritious LUNCH.

M.  Teach them the proper MANNERS-to be courteous and respectful.

N.  Learn how to say "NO" when necessary.  Take them to enjoy the NEON signs of a fair or circus.

O.  Take the unique OPPORTUNITY to shape the lives of your youngsters.

P.  PROTECT them from harm.  PROPERLY PARENT them.

Q.  Give them a good QUALITY of life.

R.  The "THREE R'S"-Reading, writing, arithmatic.  Help them with and supervise their homework.

S.  SUPPER, together, every night, as a family.

T.  Give them your TIME.  TEACH them right from wrong.

U.  UNDER the covers-safely tucked into bed every night.

V.  Take them with you when you VOTE.  Take your children on VACATION with you.

W.  WATCH television with your kids.  Don't use it as a baby sitter.

X.  Take them for X-RAYS, if they, heaven forbid, fall out of their favorite tree.

Y.  Teach them how to use a YO-YO. Simple things are often the most rewarding.

Z.  Take your children on a fun day trip to a ZOO.  Fun for the whole family!!

Of course, there are hundreds of ways to truly "support your children".  The system just wants to garnish the non-custodial parent's paycheck.

Help us say NO to Michigan's Family Law Court System.  Denying a child the love, care, guidance, and nurturing of a fit, willing, and able parent is child abuse!

As A Father Of Two, I am the new guy on the block here.  I will enjoy posting to you all from time to time.

Pecuniary Interest

Yet again!  Excellent article by Big Daddy.

Pecuniary Interest

pe•cu•ni•ar•y / piˈkyoōnēˌerē/ • adj. formal of, relating to, or consisting of money: he admitted obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception.

As a boy growing up in the 70’s, my father taught me a valuable lesson towards understanding, often times, the seemingly peculiar chain of events of an incident. He said,
“Just follow the money trail. Then you’ll know both why and what has and will happen.”
Sage words of wisdom from the “Ole man!” These words were not any more truthful then, than they are now!

As I progressed thru my divorce proceedings, ultimately believing the judicial system would soon discover the truth about myself- contrary to how my Ex portrayed me; the truth of my ability to raise my kids- contrary to how my Ex portrayed me; and, the truth of the need for my four young children to have both parents equally involved in their lives, I became disillusioned, contrary to my formerly held belief, over the continuous Orders rendered by the Court! First in its sole custody award to my Ex. Then, its outrageous child and spousal support awards- triple the state’s mandated formula. Finally, as a death knell, an order of visitation, with my kids, for only four days per month! There were no summer vacations, only six half days of holidays and not any time on their birthdays. I was devastated. I couldn’t believe it! I fought back, only to lose again, and again.

After my third stint in the county jail, for allegedly being in Contempt for support arrearages; I guess over 80% garnishment of my check was not enough; I began to research this obvious injustice from my father’s old adage- “follow the money trail.” I soon discovered my Court’s pecuniary interest in: Making me a non-custodial parent; Ordering support triple the state’s formula; Refusing to reduce my support despite proof of my wage; Illegally editing the Official Court Record; Repeatedly incarcerating me for alleged contempt; Refusing to provide me with a Court appointed attorney as an indigent; And, Worst of all, taking my kids away from me by suspending my parenting time!

The Court had developed a racket, a term commonly applied to syndicated crime families. The law had become the mob! Back in 1995, the Federal Legislature re-worded its laws for Welfare, Food Stamps, etc. The old wording was “a mother with child(ren) who has an absent father,” to the new wording, “non-custodial parent.” The seemingly innocuous re-wording was intended to defray the huge expenses the Feds were paying out to states in Food Stamps, Welfare, etc by incentivizing states to begin collecting child support from the absent father, now called the non-custodial parent. These, seemingly were the proper things to do. Why should children be allocated tax dollars for their care instead of parents paying to care for their own children? Ah, but we missed that third variable didn’t we? “The Federal Government wanted to incentivize the states.”

The states’ incentive is called Federal Title IV Block Grant Funding. The states receive funding from the Federal Government at a 2:1 match. (There are actually additional incentives for states beyond this figure tied to their performances) These block grants go straight to the County Court. Ah ha! My father was right! “Follow the money trail.” Now the injustices made sense. Now the kidnapping of my children made sense! Now the senseless incarcerations made sense. Now the erasing of Court documents made sense. Now the falsely claimed, irrationally applied, “Best Interest of the Children” made sense! Now the state’s hypocrisy made sense!

The next time you wander into a Family Court in MI and you hear a non-custodial parent attacking the court for its pecuniary interest, remember what my “ole man” said, “follow the money trail!” Sage advice for those of us who have children!

When it comes to the divorce of two parents that have children people think of the two parents and the children in the middle of the divorce.

In order for the state and the court system to make money through Title IV-D federal incentives, one of the fit and willing parents must be forced into the role of the non-custodial parent.  Sadly, children go from seeing this parent on a daily basis and then suddenly the typical 4-6 days a month.  Children have the fundamental right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated equally by both fit and willing parents after a divorce.  To deny this is child abuse.

The pain of this child abuse also affects the parents of the non-custodial parent.  Grandparents are then forced to see less of their grandchildren.  This is abusive not only to the children but to the grandparents as well.  Grandparents, from both sides of the family tree, play an important role in the development of their grandchildren.  How do grandparents in this situation deal with all of this pain?  The pain of seeing their child become a non-custodial parent and being forced away from their child by no choice of their own or the child's.  Grandparents must also endure the pain of seeing less of their own grandchildren.

Grandparent are increasingly becoming involved in the Shared Parenting movement and are joining in the fight against child abuse that is sponsored by a bitter spouse and the court system. 

I encourage all grandparents to visit SCOPE - Senior Citizens Organization for Parental Equality and become involved in what is in the best interest of their grandchildren.  Another organization that I can personally recommend is Three Sides to Every Story, Inc.  Grandparents!  There is a place for you to make a difference.

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.

World Net Daily - Kids Need Dads

Excellent article from World Net Daily on how kids need their fathers!

"...researchers released a massive study – covering 22,300 individual sets of data, gathered from 1987 to 2007 – which found that "active father figures play a key role in reducing behavior problems in boys and psychological problems in young women."

"The results are not going to sit well with many Americans, particularly those who hail voluntary single motherhood as a valid "lifestyle choice." An ugly alliance of feminist ideology and pop psychology has brainwashed the public into believing that fatherlessness has few, if any, social consequences."

Yet another excellent editorial by The Daily Telegram!  This time on Michigan House Bill 4564 and Michigan House Joint Resolution NN (2008) - if only other newspapers in Michigan had the same journalistic integrity and courage to report on the facts and not push liberal agenda.

Sunday MARCH 2, 2008

LOCAL EDITORIAL

‘Fatherhood month’ deserves state action

At issue: February being declared Responsible Fatherhood Awareness Month in Michigan.

Our view: Key bills need passage to help more children benefit from having fit non-custodial parents more involved in their lives.

February is “Responsible Fatherhood Awareness Month in Michigan,” declared by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to raise public awareness that involved fathers are important in raising children. Research shows that fathers parent in ways that tend to provide somewhat different — but complementary and equally important — benefits from parenting provided by mothers.

Unfortunately, society has moved away from the two-parent model for raising children. The U.S. Census Bureau found that between 1970 and 1990, the proportion of children living only with their mother doubled from 11 percent to 20 percent. Wednesday, the Census Bureau issued its new report that showed the latter rate has increased to 23 percent. More than one-quarter of American children live with only one parent and, in 88 percent of those cases, the Census Bureau found the mother has custody.

Divorce is a major cause of the trend. In most cases in Michigan, children of divorced parents typically are only given four to six days per month with their non-custodial parent. This arrangement remains the standard in any case in which either parent refuses joint parenting.

Two proposals are before Michigan lawmakers that would help ease that problem. One is Michigan’s Equal Parenting bill, HB 4564, which would establish that more equal parenting would become the normal expectation in contested divorces involving parents who both are fit adults. Judges still would have the authority to assign primary custody, however the burden of proof for denying one parent more equal time with their children would be shifted to a presumption of fitness rather than today’s general presumption of single-parenting.

Another proposal is House Joint Resolution NN, the Parental Rights Resolution, a proposed constitutional amendment to establish that “parents and legal guardians have a natural and fundamental right to direct the care, education, and upbringing of their children. No government action shall burden, abridge, or hinder this natural, fundamental right unless it is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.

The Equal Parenting bill has languished in the House Judiciary Committee since Oct. 10 after six months of sitting in the Families and Children’s Services Committee without a hearing. A similar bill received mostly favorable testimony last year, but died when Rep. Dudley Spade, D-Tipton, declined to vote “yes” or “no” on it in committee.

Spade has signed the Parental Rights Resolution as a co-sponsor, although Rep. Mike Simpson, D-Liberty Twp., has not.

It is time to move these pieces of legislation forward for consideration by the full House. This month’s declaration pays recognition to fatherhood. It is important now that lawmakers also create a more equal state environment in which more children will benefit from responsible fatherhood.

Shared Parenting Facts and Fiction by Dr. Linda Nielsen Professor of Women Studies and ACFC President

An excellent resource for all to read.  "Shared Parenting Facts and Fiction" by Dr. Linda Nielsen Professor of Women Studies and ACFC President.

Well researched and the layout is excellent.  Download or print your copy now via the link above.  Hand this out wherever you can.

Fiction: 
Most children are satisfied with the amount
of time they spend (or spent) with their fathers
after their parents divorce.

Fact: 
The vast majority of children say they want –
or wanted - more time with their fathers after
their parents stopped living together. Kids
want more shared parenting. 1-16 (See references in pdf file above.)

Fiction:
Shared parenting is less important than good
mothering because fathers know so much
less about raising kids than moms do.

Fact:

Fathers contribute as much as mothers to
children’s well-being, even if their ways of
parenting are different. 12, 17, 29-31

Fiction:

Children dislike shared parenting if they actually
have to live part time in both parents’
homes, moving back & forth.

Fact:

Kids who live part time with each parent after
divorce prefer this to living only with one
parent.2, 10, 40, 41

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.

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

Michigan Shared Parenting Advocate Will Formally Announce his Candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District Today

PRESS RELEASE
Feb 25 2008

For Immediate Release
Contact:
Scott Hudson
248-496-1822

Michigan Shared Parenting Advocate Will Formally Announce his Candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District Today.

Waterford, Michigan - February 25, 2008 -

On February 25, 2008 Scott Hudson of Waterford will formally announce his candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District.

Hudson has already filed petitions to qualify for the open seat which represents all of Waterford, Lake Angelus, and the northwest portion of West Bloomfield, and is running as a Democrat.

The announcement will be made at the Oakland County courthouse auditorium at 1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac at 7:30 p.m. during a meeting of the Family Rights Coalition. 

Hudson believes that the integrity of the family must be respected and that the role of the family in America is vital.  The mother and father both need equal and full access to their children, and that the role of the state must be secondary to children having both parents in their lives.

The economy of Michigan needs to be strengthened so that the security of the home and family is not placed in jeopardy because of loose lending practices.  Michigan manufacturing needs to be supported with initiatives that encourage private investment.  New and emerging technologies from the great and innovative minds of Michiganders need to be encouraged.  Partnerships need to be encouraged so that wasteful duplication does not overly tax the people.

Hudson has served eight years on the Board of Directors of an electric utility and understands that there are things that can be done to encourage private investment in sustainable power generation that creates new jobs.

Hudson was elected Vice-President of the Waterford School Board of Education in 2005 and understands that education needs a reliable funding source, and that teachers need to be supported. 

As a nine year member of the Waterford Planning Commission Hudson supports efforts to encourage walkability without raising taxes, and to encourage healthy lifestyles through education, and example.  The Summit Place Mall area needs to be supported through private enterprise and not with government subsidies. 

There is a need for judicial reform.  It is unfair that Oakland County picks and chooses who they fund in the district court system.  The taxpayers of the 43rd District pay such expenses while other governmental entities are subsidized.

Unfunded mandates from the State and Federal government should not be allowed.  Public safety and revenue sharing are very important matters and these must be provided for.

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.
