Roger Gay studies of child support calculation FATHER'S RIGHTS Are you concerned about father's rights? Fathers are routinely discriminated against in family court, the district attorney, and the office of child support enforcement. Parenting includes much more than writing a check once a month. The best interest of the child is served most effectively by shared parenting. It is the position of ANCPR that father's rights is actually a subset of the broader issue of parents rights, or parental rights. Yet courts all across the nation continue to ignore the importance of fathers in family court. The District Attorney looks upon fathers as mere pay checks. How to fight back How ANCPR can help you protect your parental rights or father's rights Let Congress know that reform of family law is needed nation-wide.

Finding divorce assets The Fix Is In No Man Can Count On Justice In Family Court, Argues An Angry Professor By Stephen Baskerville Trevor Gallahan's father is going to jail. He has not been charged with any crime. He is not behind in child support. He has not battered anyone. Yet Ken Gallahan could conceivably remain in jail for the rest of his life. What is his infraction? He does not have $15,000 to pay a lawyer he never hired. He was already jailed indefinitely when he could not pay a psychotherapist he also had not hired and was released only when his mother paid the fees. Debtors' prisons were theoretically abolished long ago, but this does not stop family court judges from using the bench to shake down fathers who have done nothing wrong and funnel everything they have into the pockets of the court's cronies. In fact the looting and criminalization of fathers like Ken Gallahan is now routine in divorce courts.

There are some Illinois family law firms that market themselves as advocates for father’s rights. When going through a divorce that involves child custody and child support it can be an extremely stressful time. It is especially stressful for fathers based on the perception that women are usually given custody of children. We strongly oppose firms that market themselves as father’s rights lawyers. We feel that this only preys upon the fears that fathers have. In our opinion there is no special skill involved as an attorney in representing a father or a mother. As a lawyer you are either an advocate for your client or you are not. Saying you will fight for a father (or a mother) means nothing unless you back up your words with actions. We do not think that starting off a lawyer-client relationship by manipulating the concerns of an uninformed or scared father is the way to start a relationship.

93. Father's Rights Groups: Beware Their Real Agenda Father s rights Groups Beware Their Real Agenda. social workers, family law experts, judges, lawyers, and even the family Forum (a rightwing, http://www.now.org/nnt/03-97/father.html

@import url(/css/default.css); "Father's Rights" Groups: Beware Their Real Agenda by Gloria Woods, President, Michigan NOW "Shared Parental Responsibility." In our work as women's advocates, how often have we heard custodial moms wish that their children's father would share the parental responsibility? Unfortunately, "shared parental responsibility" is the new doublespeak for joint physical custody by so-called "father's rights" groups. For example, in Michigan proposed legislation supported by these groups would impose joint custody on parents who are in conflict over custody. Most studies report that joint custody works best when both parents want it and agree to work together. The Michigan legislation states that in a custody dispute the judge must presume that joint custody is in the "best interests of the child" and "should be ordered." To make any other decision, a judge must make findings why joint custody is not in the children's "best interest." This is a high legal standard that makes it very difficult for judges to award any other custody arrangement. It is also a departure from the generally accepted standards determining what's in the best interest of the child. Michigan NOW opposes forced joint custody for many reasons: it is unworkable for uncooperative parents; it is dangerous for women and their children who are trying to leave or have left violent husbands/fathers; it ignores the diverse, complicated needs of divorced families; and it is likely to have serious, unintended consequences on child support.

94. "Absent Fathers", FamilyRights Media Release, 24 June 1997 and women advocating for fair application of fair laws affecting our children. Numerous fathers have reported that the family Courts offer little http://www.massey.ac.nz/~kbirks/gender/fr697.htm

FamilyRights Media Release on "Absent Fathers" 24 June 1997 At last the topic of "absent fathers" is starting to get the publicity it needs, both in Parliament and in the media. FamilyRights is a group of men and women advocating for fair application of fair laws affecting our children. We are very concerned about the effects of the absence of fathers on the lives of children and the effects of paternal deprivation on child development. The effects of paternal deprivation (voluntary or involuntary) have been a growing area of research over the past few decades in the US. The results, which apply equally to New Zealand, are damning and need to be acted on. It seems to be generally assumed that fathers voluntarily abrogate their responsibilities after parental separations. It is the view of FamilyRights that this is an incorrect perception by our politicians and public at large. We consider that it has resulted partly from the way our Family Courts operate. Family Court activity in New Zealand is confidential and there is no outside scrutiny, so generally only the parties involved in a case are aware of what happens.

Before the order can be entered, the parental rights of the biological, or previous parent, must be "terminated." In most states, adoptions can proceed with or without an adoption agency. But all adoptions must go through court. When the biological parent objects to the adoption in court, the proceeding becomes a "contested" adoption. Contested adoption proceedings have six general stages: Relinquishment . The mother relinquishes the child to a placing agency or a private couple. Petition . The lawyer for the agency or adoptive parents files a "petition" with the court, alleging, typically, that the father has abandoned the child or not supported the mother. (See Section II for other termination grounds) Notice . The father receives the petition by certified mail, personal service, or ordinary mail. If the father cannot be located, then, depending on the state's rules, he may be given notice by publication in a newspaper.
