Are you a father or do you know a father who has been discriminated against in the New York State Family Court system? New York State is a "Mother State" as many are. If the courts make the decision about custody conncerning the children they favor the mother. Is this not discriminatioN? How are we as fathers suppossed to have an influence and build relationships with our children based on this minimal time interaction granted by the courts? We as fathers can do anything a mother can do except breast feed. Women fought for equality in the workforce and we are fighting for equality in the home.Many women agree that fathers are discriminated against, if you are a woman and believe this is true and would like to support this petition please sign and show your support.
In New York State if the parties cannot agree on custody or communicate effectively the mother is given sole custody. In many cases limiting or voiding fathers rights altogetehr. Often attorneys for mothers advise them to take this position because New York State will give her sole custody as is the standard practice when parties do not agree.
Most fathers recieve 48 days a year with their children(standard visitation) every other weekend= 27 hours a week.
Statistics show and support that 75% of mothers are awared sole custody. Fathers are awarded sole custody 10% of the time and the remaining 15% have joint custody.
Statistics show that 50% of mothers wish to terminate fathers rights altogether.
40% of mothers admit to interfering with visitation to punish the fathers.
80%of cases do not finish trials due to financial limitations.
80% of fathers in New York pay all the child support, limiting the ability to fight for thier children and manage thier own financial commitments.
The above data is provided by "S.P.A.R.C."
There are many local groups to assist fathers and provide support however they have had little impact or influence to get this discrimination addressed. "Equal rights for fathers" and "Fathers for justice are local groups that are available to us, they are great resources however we need more advocates for change.
It is time that we as fathers stand together and petition the senate/government to change this discrimination against fathers. I have written letters to Governor Cuomo, Senator Robach and Congresswomen Slaughter. If you agree and support this petition please sign it to shoe your support. Even if you anticipate being in the Family Court system in the futrue please support this effort.

Im married and a mother of 1, and if, god forbid, we get divorced, I have enough respect for my husband to not punish him by denying joint custody or by limiting visitation because of personal feelings. Moms who do this dont realize how much it effects their children. Men are discriminated against in family court and no one can deny it.

REPORT THIS COMMENT:
NY awards child support to age 21 in violation of the NYS 1st amendment and the US 15th amendment of equal protection. An intact family has no obligation to children after they reach age of maturity (18) Why does NY set out to punish fathers?
I am one of the lucky few who was awarded sole custody of my two children. However, it took my life savings, 401k, and pention to pay for my lawyer. It was worth every dime. My kids are healthy, happy and both honor students. My ex wanted them just for the cash$$$$$. When I won custody, she basically gave up her visitation. So there is some hope out there but it is a financial, and mental battle. My outcome was worth it. Good luck to all fathers out there, I know the deck is sgtacked against us.
So often women find men who are from a family of wealth or influence, come on strong so the guy sleeps with her for pleasurable reasons. She gets pregnant with the intention of cheating him out of his inheritance. Things happen too fast, and she feels she is entitled to half with not contract or commitment. I have no problem paying for my children, but I do have a problem paying her directly, when she is also getting support from another man. In the best interest of the kids, it is best for them to know they were conceived in love, but when the court forces the man to pay for her, the kids and another man other than the father, and then alienate the kids, in her favor, that is definitely an injustice. I also firmly believe that people change for the better, and should not be held down to the moment of the time of the deed. In my opinion abuse happens when there is no sexual agreement, if I didn't have a job, I could get a job, or vice versa. Sometimes hormones and immaturity, start the process, but then as we get older, wiser, and more responsible, then and only then it is either too late to turn back, or find a way to do business together for the children's and grand kids to learn ways that are not as hard as they were for you. In other words we grew up and grew out of our own childish ways, while affording our children to be children.
I've witnessed the injustices 1st hand, just because a woman has given birth to a child that does NOT automatically make her a better parent. Any father wanting to fight for more time with his children should be applauded!
