Fathers DO Have Rights Too

This society we live in today , in most cases, gives the up-most consideration to the mother's of children. What about the father's? Day after day and year after year these fathers are forced to pay child support. What do they get in return? Nothing, in alot of cases. These father's go without seeing their children for weeks , months and ,yes, sometimes even years. They are not consulted when their children go to the doctor , do good or bad in school , have an emergency situation or for any other reason. Fathers DO have rights too!

Children need their fathers in their lives, just as much as they need their mothers. No doubt , there are some true "dead-beat dads" out there though it is safe to venture that most of them DO want to be a part of their children's lives. Mother's have a tendency to divorce the father and then divorce the children from the father as well. This is not fair to the fathers and is most certainly unfair to the children.

Here are some statistics that will rock your world. The 2000 ACFC Child Support Survey Reports Have the Following information. (http://www.facenj.org/stats/cs/ACFC-CS.HTM)

-- 9.5 % of child support payers are satisfied with the amount of time they spend with their children, 90.5 % are not satisfied.
-- 82.0 % of child support payers have experienced access and visitation denial; 18.0 % have not
-- Of the 82.0 % that have experienced access and visitation denial, in 17.7 % of cases, the court did something to enforce visitation; in 82.3 % of cases, the court did not do anything to enforce visitation.
Now , Granted Not all of these statistics are Fathers yet these are some pretty scary numbers. In most cases it is the father that is denied visitation and parenting rights with their children. How is this doing any good for the children?

Are you liking Statistics? Because I have a few more for you. These numbers are a little older than the ones above but they are specific to fathers. Mens Rights On line gathered these numbers from the US Census Bureau report. (http://www.mens-rights.net/law/support.htm)
