 Fathers' Rights and Child Custody Law
The fathers' rights movement arose in response to the perception that fathers were not being given equal treatment in child custody litigation.
Fathers' rights groups assert that changes of this nature will create a family court environment where both parents are treated fairly and equally, and diminish the effects of legislation and, in some cases, of judicial bias which favors the mother.
Fathers' rights groups also typically point to studies which show that the absence of a father from a child's life can lead to a wide variety of negative behavioral and educational consequences.
