FATHER'S RIGHTS
Are you concerned about father's rights? Fathers are routinely discriminated against in family court, the district attorney, and the office of child support enforcement. Parenting includes much more than writing a check once a month. The best interest of the child is served most effectively by shared parenting. It is the position of ANCPR that father's rights is actually a subset of the broader issue of parents rights, or parental rights. Yet courts all across the nation continue to ignore the importance of fathers in family court. The District Attorney looks upon fathers as mere pay checks.
How ANCPR can help you protect your parental rights or father's rights
Let Congress know that reform of family law is needed nation-wide.
CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATION
>C. S. modification should be much simpler. The best interest of the child is not served by ignoring the benefits of joint custody. Courts should respect the needs of children by de-emphasizing c.s. enforcement and stressing shared custody. Parents rights to and ongoing relationship with their children are continually ignored by courts. Parenting is hard enough as it is. Parenting would be much easier if the noncustodial parent were not being driven into poverty by the district attorney and the office of child support enforcement. Our Modification Handbook, comes free as a benefit of membership in ANCPR. It will help you modify custody, modify visitation or modify C. S. Our Membership Resources help you to understand how family courts work so you can protect your parents rights.
