I am in favor of equal parenting rights with equal physical and legal custody. After raising two sons who have no contact with their father, I’ve seen first hand the damage an absent parent can cause.
My ex was given every opportunity to equally parent his children. He wasn’t interested but there are many fathers who fight against a system that favors mothers and one thing a father should never have to do is fight for the right to equally parent his children.My ex was given every opportunity to equally parent his children.

I believe our family court system has to change and in a way, that recognizes the importance of fathers in the lives of their children. Every other weekend and one night a week is not a parent child relationship. It is court ordered visitation and until the courts stop ordering “visitation” and start giving fathers the same recognition given to mothers, children of divorce will continue to suffer.
Below are excerpts from a few studies that back up my belief that equal parenting after divorce is what is in our "children’s best interest." read more at: http://divorcesupport.about.com/od/equalparenting/f/equalparenting1.htm
