I think you miss the greater problem.

Anti-father bias in the Family Law systems of every state, which is now so pervasive that divorce seldom leaves a father with any role to play in the lives of his children.  This is the work of the N.O.W. crowd and their feminist allies together with the GLBT folks.  The latter are being influenced heavily by the Lesbian element. 

When a diovorce occurs involvng small children, there is a legal principle called the tender years doctrine, which will generally place the children with the mother unless she is incarcerated.  Mental illness and even drug and alcohol addictions will not disqualify mothers from custtody.   I have seen the Family Court return children again and again to unfit mothers who yoyo in and out of jails and treatment centers.  The fathers are never even considered.

There is another legal doctrine wich calls for the children to remain together.  As long as any child amongst siblings ius under ten, the tender years doctrine will favor the mother.

Beyond all this is child support.  This evil institution is no more than a privately funded welfare system for women.  In our jurisdiction it is routine for prosecutors to pursue and even jail men for child support arrears.  I have seen the same courts simply excuse mothers who have been found to be in arrears for 5 years or more.  These women belong in jail just like the men of similar circumstances.

Then there is the conduct of the custodial mothers.  Many of them seem bent on alienating the child from its father.  They violate visitation agreements and manipulate and brainwash their children.  many of them file false child abuse complaints in order to induce courts to terminate visitation while the allegations are investigated.  months later, when visitation is finally restored, the father finds his relationship with his child has been badly damaged if not destroyed.

Unless this hopelessly corrupt and broken system is drastically reformed, the issue of fatherlessness is going to get worse.  

A case in point:  The State of Texas siezed those children from the FLDS Searching for Zion compound.  The rationale behind this siezure was routine.  The CPS received an anonymous telephone call alleging child abuse in the form of statutory rape in the compound.  

Anyone with a shred of knowledge of our system of law should recognize the problem here.  The State of Texas violated the 4th Amendment rights of the FLDS on the basis of a rumor.  The telephone call was not a sworn statement to the police.  It is not a legitimate basis for a search or an arrest warrant because it has the same legal status as a rumor.  This thuggish bnehavior is the same in my jurisdiction as well.  CPS routine forces its way into homes and violates the privacy of families based on reports whose authenticity is not sworn.  the reporters are not held to any standard of truthfulness.  Indeed, my state actually forbids the prosecution of any person who calls the CPS "hotline", no matter what they say.  It should come as no surprise the 70-84% of these reports prove false.

She was the most beautiful bride in the whole world.

Great ceremony
