BOTH parents should have equal custody, unless one is PROVEN unfit to parent.
This country is quickly becoming a nation of fatherless children, and fathers are not the only ones
to blame for that.
It's too easy to throw away marriages and fathers. Fatherless homes have become the norm, instead of
the exception. It's a terrible shame that the feminist movement has ended up taking so many basic
rights away from others. |

While I agree with this, I think that what needs to be taken into even more consideration is the
reason for the divorce to begin with. If mom brings the majority of baggage to the table, and dad
wants custody, that above all else needs to be taken into consideration. The same holds true if the
tables are turned.
In my opinion the crux of the problem is how easy it is to get divorced. Because of the ease of
divorce, there is far less accountability placed on individuals choosing to get married.
Interesting how when gov't gets involved in social affairs it inherently causes more grief than it
eliminates. |

I agree with this statement. I think it should be looked at from both sides before a decision is
made. I, also, agree with the child's right to choose but, that child needs to be at a proper
decision making age. |

I think that the child should be able to choose which parent. But there shouldn't be a bias
toward either parent if the judge is choosing. But you won't be able to stop biases. |

I totally agree too. If the shoe were on the other foot, for example if family businesses were
usually assumed to go to the father in the divorce, then women would say that was horribly unfair
because the decision doesn't really reflect who put more into the business or will be more
instrumental to it's ultimate success. It's a double standard. Both parents should come into the
custody hearing on equal footing. |

I totally agree with everything you have said. Further more I believe that the child support system
is very unfair and needs major reform. Too many woman get custody of their children and then milk
the man for all he is worth just because she can. This usually happens in blue collar or low income
families because the man does not have the financial capabilities to fight for more custody and less
child support. I just think it is ridiculous that woman want to be considered equals but when they
are in a custody and child support battle they turn on the "I am a helpless woman who can't support
a baby on my own and need help from a man."
It is exploitation of our system and needs to stop. |

It is in most instances that the mother gets the child because she is the primary care giver and
because she is the one emotionally attached to the child. I have seen it firsthand. Fathers love
their children, yes I agree, but not to the extent that the mother does. The mother will do and do
for the child. The father won't. I have seen very, very few instances where the father actually
deserved to have custody. Think of your own feelings towards your mother and then of your father. If
you had to chose, who would you pick? Mine would definetly be my mother. Think of your life or
anyone else's if their father had raised them. They more than likely would be a mess. |
