Okay people, here we go again, I know that some of you have been watching the news, about that millionaire that shot the judge and killed his wife. So my point is do you believe that he was going to lose his children to his wife, only recieving visitation rights? I believe that the current family laws are destroying families with no regard to the fact that women can not have babies by themselves. Even if they were to go to a sperm bank, it still takes the help of a man. So men should get equal custody in the parternal involvement of their children. Men are getting the big stick of the rear, no matter how funky it may sound, the men in the case are not dealing with the issue in a civil manner. Help is needed, because the men are in love just as much with their children as the mother is if not even more. Just like the territorial animals of the jungle the male's are the dominant of protecting the family, and when they feel threaten in their authority they will defend their pride..

IN the case sample you give it shows the man was unstable and really shouldn't be directly responsible for his children's safety. So if the court where going to rule against him, I'd say with hine site the court system was headed in the right direction.
Is it possible for ruling to be wrong and even harmful? Yes. As no system is perfect. And I have seen both men and women get screwed by the system, so I don't think it's just men getting the short end of the stick here. And I have seen both men and women abuse the system and act like winy, greedy, selfish brates.

believe it or not, in Canada the majority of couples who split have shared custody. this allows them to make joint decisions on behalf of the child such as religion, schooling etc. most of these cases are settled out of court.
in some cases the mother gets sole custody due to the past history of the father. if the parents cannot communicate like two grown adults, how the heck can the court expect them to make rational, responsible decisions on behalf of the child?
as for child support, whether or not the parents have joint or sole custody, the amount of child support payable is based on the payor's income and the number of children for whom support is payable. so while many fathers complain that they are paying too much, they are in reality paying much less than if they were actually paying part of the rent, groceries, school supplies, school trips, extra curricular activities, etc.
obviously the judge in the case you used as an example made a very wise decision. could you imagine what would happen if these two people had to decide what school their child would go to and the father didn't agree with the mother? would the child have to be a witness to ongoing abuse of his mother?
yes, at first glance, the family law can seem unfair to the men, however, after working at a law firm that practices family law (on behalf of men and women), the perspective changes greatly

yes, i believe the father should have the option of raising the children if he is paying for them. children should go to the parent who is most able to provide for them.

I agree, the courts almost always favor the mother.. when both parents should be considered equally...
