Dads are dumb? Why is it that fathers appear to be completely oblivious to the fact that their parental rights can be taken away within a nano-second of their wife filing for divorce. In the eyes of society dads are second-class parents. This needs to stop! DADS NEED TO WAKE UP!

When they go from being a full-time dad to the every other weekend dad. This usually occurs after the temporary child custody hearing handed down by the judge. Then they sit around dumbfounded that this actually happened to them. They once had this panacea that our American Legal System would never take away their rights as an EQUAL parent.

If you have not lost your parental rights yet, you may want to support the efforts of those who only ask for EQUALITY in parenting. If you are currently labeled the dreaded non-custodial parent, you better WAKE UP and start joining those who seek to be EQUAL parents to their children.

Stop watching the damn sports and the current episode of The Office! Spend some time educating yourself on why so many dads and also non-custodial moms are seeking what is best for their children. Children need to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated by BOTH fit parents. Children benefit from shared parenting or what some may call equal parenting.

Benefits of Shared Parenting

Did you know that states and family court systems PROFIT from the creation of a non-custodial parent? Silly! You actually thought that the 30 minute custody evaluation was truly for the best interest of the children? States and family court systems make a killing on Title IV-D federal incentives.

Learn about the corrupt nature of Title IV-D

Any dad with a pulse should support efforts such as this:

EQUAL Parenting Bike Trek.

So tell me...are dads dumb? When will they wake up? Even after they are only allowed to see their children 4-6 days a month, many do nothing to but accept this fate. How sad this story is and it gets repeated every day by the thousands!

Will this wake you up?

Wake Up! Dad #1

Or perhaps this?

Wake Up! Dad #2

Darn it! Well whenever you do decide to wake up we are here for you.

Dads are not dumb!

After my divorce I realized that being a once a week dad and talking to my children was a losing battle.After they turned 18 and I moved I saw and heard from them less and less.It got to the point their lives didnt need me in it.The phone number was changed.A get together before they went away vanished.Communication is still one sided.I send letters and cards and gifts hoping that they will call me.I send this to their mothers house adressed to them hoping to get somewhere.It goes nowhere.I miss them I will always write.Ill never stop.Even though 3 yrs have passed with no reply I still love them.If I could see them now I would not be angry or even hurt.I would love to just meet them,catch up on our lives and try to build a new foundation.Somewhere we lose their trust with a lack of time and distance fades us away.I know you may think Im a fool to keep trying with no replys but as long as i live i will still try.

It's sad how the rights of fathers have eroded. It used to be the opposite 100 years or so ago. If a couple divorced, the father kept custody of the children and the mother was the one left out in the cold. Sophie

When it comes to abortion, women protest loudly 'my body my choice'. When it comes to a live child, whether the choice be adoption, custody, medical decisions, where to live, schools, etc - they claim this is STILL so- since they 'gave birth'. Motherhood- it's like ownership !

This comes back to the abortion debate, in all reality. Dad's, Male's..are not considered equal to women in this aspect..and nobody really like to mention that fact because of other social aspects, thusly this becomes a justification of this inequality. A fetus for all purposes is half the property of the male, and female. It takes one of each to make one fetus. The only reason females are given such dominion is because she incubates it, period. If man wants the child, woman does not...she can abort...man doesn't want the child..she does...oh well he's out of luck..funny if he can't make her get rid of the child..how is it equal to make him be a father is he wishes not to be..after all she still has the option of abortion, or adoption right? It only works out and is truly fair when both want the fetus, or both do not...but no one has logically tossed political correctness to the side and addressed the 1 for 1 against scenario's.
