The way family laws are today with divorce, child custudy, etc. and how it's handled: It can be a nightmare in the court room.

In the whole divorce, child support, child custody laws etc., the lawyers and judges make tons of money at the expense of people's lives. They do need to change things.

I know what we went through. The judges sometimes make their decisions before the Father even walks in the courtroom. It makes it hard to keep your composure when things don't turn out for the best interest of all parties involved. ( Especially the children)

The mother always gets the children, and the father is no longer a parent, but classified a "visitor". It's hard to keep a relationship with your children seeing them just once a month or once a week or whenever the court and the mother says. Especially if the mother doesn't even follow the court decision and doesn't let the father see the kids.
It's hard to see what goes on, unless you are in it yourself. Things HAVE TO CHANGE!

My stepchildren were not allowed to have a relationship with their dad, due to their mother's issues. Also, she knew the court system and how to use it.

It really boils down to women's rights going to the extreme against men.
But it's hard to explain to people if they are not going through it.

I am for Shared Parenting, with NO CHILD SUPPORT being awarded to either parent!

The mother and father are no longer together, so they should be responsible for keeping a roof over their own head, food on their own table, etc. One parent should not be forced to support TWO HOUSEHOLDS, which is what happens when one parent has to pay child support. The children become pawns, so the custodial parent can try to manipulate things. Make it fair! Treat each parent, (the mother and father), the same. Both equal access to their children with NO CHILD SUPPORT ordered!
