Divorced dads: Family court system is broken -Lisa Ling
You all are so behind this #metoo stuff? Good.
Here is another movement we all should rally around. Alienated parents. The ability for fathers to share equally in the rearing of their children. Shared parenting as the default in divorce cases in all 50 states.
Ten years ago when I was going through my ordeal, I never knew how bad family court was. I never knew how biased it was in favor of mothers. I never knew how outdated child support was.
I learned a lot during my divorce and even more after it was all done. I was determined to share custody of our kids equally with my ex-wife. I just said no to paying child support and spousal support. Yeah....hell no to that BS.
I know so many fathers who didn’t have the same outcome as me. They reach out to me all the time to ask for advice. I’m more than happy to give it to them.
Most divorced fathers I know either never see their kids, see them four times a month and/or pay ridiculous amounts of money to their ex...and still don’t see their kids. Many of them wondered, like me, how the hell this happened to such good fathers?
Well, I know. I’m writing a book about it and can’t wait to finish it. It’s all too common, even in 2018 when some groups talk about how one sex is constantly oppressed.
Go into the hell hole they call family court if you are a man. Go see for yourself how “equal” it is.
Then ask yourself, why are we allowing this to continue?
Children need their mothers...AND their fathers.
I can’t wait to get home next Sunday and see my kids again.
