I, along with many others, some who have sat with the Trumps, have been fighting for not only equal rights but protected rights of parents for more than a decade.
In 1997, Bill Clinton signed an amendment to title 4D, that incentivized states to remove fathers from homes. Our Social Security money is paying for state leadership to require their district judges to give full custody to one parent, so they can have the other paying support. For every dollar of support the state collects, our federal government gives that state money.
Obviously this is most likely going to be the mother as men are more likely to continue working and make more. Even when both parents are able and willing to equally have that child.
Courts do not uphold court ordered parenting time, allowing the noncustodial parent to be alienated from their kids.
Kids deserve both parents equally.
Men suicide rates are 4 x that of women, this increase is directly related to family court, the cost and financial ruin, and the alienation from their children.
Most of the 22 vets a day that take their lives is related to family court and parental alienation.
Paternity fraud is also very damaging to men and children without any legal recourse for the ones who perpetrate this crime.
CPS is given too much authority and are currently the biggest human trafficking ring in the country. Removing and adopting out children without ever having a cause for the children to have needed removal in the first place. Only, it’s after an adoption has taken place that it’s revealed there was never cause for removal.
Equal, Shared Parenting is a must for mentally healthier children and parents. Stop the incentive of title 4D. Make family court rooms a place for real justice to parents and children and hold judges and attorneys responsible for taking advantage. And keep outside agencies out of our families without cause.
Men should not be made financially responsible for children that are not theirs unless through contractual agreement such as adoption or donation.
I have spent a lot of time talking men down from hurting themselves, and unfortunately I have also watched when they stopped messaging back and all I can do is wait for the news. Knowing they gave up and had nothing left to give. You never get over losing someone like that.
Presumptive father laws need to go. Children growing up without a parent that wanted to be there. Children growing up with an adoptive family because they were stolen from their own parents at no fault of their own, no criminal charges, and no legal reason they should have been removed in the first place.
