Family Court Case Study
The Courts biased view of Fathers in Family Court Decisions Fathers in family court decisions are given less rights compared to mothers. Fathers should be allowed the same treatment as mothers in family court decisions and they should not be seen as less worthy of custody of a child.

My dad finally got joint custody after her idiotic actions.

Men may not always seem the most neutering but classifying them as not being as good as a parent as a woman is wrong. A woman physically carrying and giving birth to a baby does not mean that the mother is right for whom the child should be with because some mothers are not fit for that position.
