Support Fair Child Support and Equal Parenting Rights for Fathers


Support Fair Child Support and Equal Parenting Rights for Fathers
The Issue
Millions of fathers across the U.S. face an uphill battle in family court. They are often expected to
pay high amounts of child support while being denied equal parenting time. This system is outdated
and unfair to children who deserve equal involvement from both parents.
WHAT WE WANT:
- Equal shared parenting to be the default in custody cases.
- Child support formulas that are fair and reflect both parents' income.
- Accountability in how child support money is spent.
- Access to legal aid for low-income fathers.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Children benefit from having both parents actively involved. Fathers are not just providers - they are
caregivers, mentors, and role models. Reforming child support laws promotes fairness and stronger
families.
Automatic Shared Custody After DNA: Equal Rights for Fathers
Every child deserves equal love, time, and guidance from both parents - not just one. Today, when a
father proves his biological connection through DNA, he still has to fight for custody rights in court,
often spending thousands of dollars just to be part of his child's life.
WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING:
1. Automatic Shared Custody upon DNA confirmation unless proven otherwise in court.
2. Elimination of High Legal Fees for fathers who want to be involved in their children's lives.
3. Fair and Equal Treatment of both parents in custody decisions.
4. Family Court Reform to prioritize co-parenting over conflict.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
The current system often treats fathers as secondary parents. This causes emotional and financial
damage not just to the father, but also to the child - who deserves love and involvement from both
parents. Fathers shouldn't have to go broke just to do what's right.
CALL TO ACTION:
1) Sign this petition to demand that our lawmakers reform outdated child support and custody laws to
treat fathers fairly
2) We're calling on state lawmakers and family courts to update outdated custody laws. If DNA proves
fatherhood, then equal custody should be the starting point - not an expensive legal battle.
Sign this petition to support fathers' rights and make shared parenting the default from day one
