The family court system is sexist. It is old-fashioned and needs to enter the 21st century. It is so frustrating to me that the court systems can deny someone custodial rights because they are a man. It seems outdated to assume that a child is better off with a person simply because they have the label "mother." Fathers are equally as important to a child's rearing, yet a court can say a child is best to be left with his mother even if she is slightly neglectful.
If you search an online search engine for father's custodial resources you find plenty of links explaining how important it is to pay child support, but where are the resources for men who need help getting their child out of abusive or neglectful circumstances? Get with the times! Every day we hear about equal rights for women, but where is the fight for men who deserve a chance to prove they are just as capable of being loving and supporting of their child.
