WOW....this thing really took off. Glad to see/read everyone's input. The most important point I hoped people would find is that EQUALITY is needed in our family court systems to protect our children from "losing" a PARENT (Dad, Mom, or guardian..other terms welcome for homosexual parents). When a court rules, without proper cause, to award primary custody to one PARENT vs. ANOTHER PARENT, the child(ren) lose(s). Again, unless proper cause is shown. I believe proper cause is somewhat relative, however, I feel something drastic would need to happen or have happened in order to justify having nothing less than an equal parenting-time situation.
I'm a little torn at saying "something drastic would need to happen" because I wouldn't want the court, or any other party, to wait around until something drastic did happen, where the child was seriously harmed. But I assure you, with today's system it MUST BE drastic to get a judge to listen.
For example, my son almost died from Drano ingestion while in his mother's care. I still don't know if I will have a shot at getting more parenting time with my son. He has never been seriously harmed in my care. He has "fall down go boom" and scratch his knee in my care. I've never been arrested, I provide financial support, and my son and I have a great relationship.
I'm a non-custodial parent currently fighting in family court for nothing less than equal parenting-time with my child. He deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
