 A Fathers Day Letter (A.D. 2000)
However, perhaps the greatest single cause of father absence is the legal system, in particular the gender-biased habits of family courts which persist in awarding sole maternal custody in most litigated cases.
As a result, the father acquiesces to accept the court's standard "visitation" plan, usually 4 days a month or alternate weekends, along with monthly child support to the mother.
If our courts behaved responsibly and acted truly in the best interests of our children by allowing both their father and mother to be parents to them after divorce rather than eliminating one parent from their lives, then perhaps millions more children in America would have a father with them on Father's Day.
