It’s
a Fact
Here’s why:
· 63% of youth suicides
are from fatherless homes. (Source:
U.S. D.H.H.S., Bureau
of the Census).
· 90% of all homeless
and runaway children are from fatherless
homes.
· 85% of all children
that exhibit behavioral disorders
come from fatherless homes.
(Source: Center for Disease Control).
· 80% of rapist motivated by displaced
anger come from fatherless
homes. (Source:
Criminal Justice and Behavior, Vol.
14, pp. 403-26).
· 71% of all high school dropouts
come from fatherless homes. (Source:
National Principals Assoc. Report
on the State of High Schools).
· 85% of all youths sitting in prisons
grew up in a fatherless home. (Source:
Fulton County Georgia jail populations,
Texas Dept. Of Corrections, 1992).

are:
· 5 times more likely to commit suicide
· 32 times more likely to run away
· 20 times more likely to have behavioral
disorders

· 9 times more likely to drop out
of high school

“There is a fundamental liberty right
guaranteed to both parents by the
14th Amendment. This is the right
to the care, custody, and nurture
of their children. According to the
Supreme Court of the United States:
“Absent a Compelling State Interest
of harm or potential harm to the child,
the State may not intervene in the
privacy of family life.””
Overall, research studies show that
children of joint custodians are better
adjusted than children of sole custodians
on each of the following measures:
general adjustment; family relations;
self-esteem; emotional adjustment;
behavioral adjustment; and divorce-specific
adjustment.
Another benefit of Joint Physical
Custody is that it improves child
support compliance. Researchers have
found a positive correlation between
the frequency of a parent’s contact
with a child and the payment of child
support. That is to say,
the more frequent,
regular and flexible the time
a parent is permitted to spend with
his child, the more likely he is to
meet his child support obligation
in full and on time. In terms of voluntary
compliance, fathers who have little
or no contact with their children
after a divorce pay only about 34%
of their child support, while fathers
with regular contact pay 85% or more
of theirs.

and Single Moms Whether
it is caused by violence or
not, children living with single
moms don't do well in our society.
It used to be the exception.
Now it is becoming the rule
and progressively worse.
Is that not child abuse too?

from single-mother families
are 2.21 times (221%) as likely
to have one or more total
problems than those from two-parent
families, twice as likely
to have an emotional disorder,
etc. (The probability of this
being due to chance is smaller
than 1 in 1,000)

Voters Have Had Enough! |
85%
of Massachusetts Voters Recently
Voted For Shared Parenting! |
| |
- In 2003, 20,952
entries for divorce were filed
in Massachusetts courts!
- In Massachusetts
over 40,000 restraining orders
are issued each year! This
33 times more than in Virginia
with a similar population!
- This has become
a HUGE profit making endeavor
for lawyers and many others.
It is all driven by the greed
and desire for power of special
interest groups like lawyers and
radical feminists who push one
way laws.
- Allegations of
family violence are the weapon-of-choice
in divorce strategies. Lawyers,
and paralegals in women's shelters,
call them "The Silver Bullet".
False abuse allegations
work effectively in removing men
from their families without due
process. The impact that
the removal of fathers has on
our children is horrific.
- Massachusetts has
the HIGHEST child support in the
entire U.S. at about 40% of after
tax income. It is often
several times the cost of raising
the children. High “child
support” causes federal kickbacks
that fund courts and snowballs
this monster further.
- Most fathers are
loving and care deeply for their
children and the vast majority
pay child support as ordered,
even though it is often onerous
and places them in poverty.
