Equal Parenting Petition
During child custody cases fathers are discriminated against as a result of gender bias in family law; custody decisions have been a denial of equal rights. This petition is to help campaign for formal legal rights for fathers and fathers of active duty service, and to campaign for changes to family law related to child custody and support.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to develop a legal standard that would begin at 50/50 custody, with mediated (if necessary) negotiation between parents as to what schedule best accommodates their and the childrens needs. Each parent would have to provide proof of unrivaled qualities (i.e. income, housing, transportation, family support, etc.) that would enable them to receive sole custody.
