Shared parenting laws on way out | The Australian

We’ve been seeing this coming.  It’s really a tragedy that so many families and children’s hearts are completely torn to pieces by the lack of commitment to marriage vows.

THE Rudd government is planning to roll back the controversial shared parenting law passed in the final term of the Howard government, enraging men’s groups, which say the laws have finally given them access to their children after separation.

The council says some men are approaching the court, asking for years-old parenting agreements to be modified so they can pay less child support. Under the Howard government reforms, men can pay less, in exchange for seeing their children more.

The submission says: “Parents are saying they don’t want money. They would be happy to forgo maintenance payments if it saves their child from having to spend half the week with a parent who does not really want to parent them, but whose main objective is to avoid child support.”

Who are these people to be judging the motivation of these men to file for more time with their children, saying that they only want to reduce their child support?

This is a real insult to all fathers.  There are plenty of examples of good dads, as well as bad dads.  The exact same thing can be said of moms.  We all are aware of both good moms and bad moms out there.  So what!  If a dad wants to spend time with his children, who is anyone to get in the way? The whole idea is preposterous, and it is high time that fathers stopped putting up with this nonsense, and stand up to these really evil people who denigrate men and fathers.

In my opinion, a mother who tries to diminish the relationship of a child and his or her father in any way is a bad mom.  An unfit mom.

In my opinion, if a mother is afraid to stand up to a man, then she is mentally imbalanced or incapacitated, or both, and so is an unfit mother.

    Wow. This is so very disappointing to read. Most mothers are spending every waking moment trying to find ways to make the lives of their children healthy and happy. Many of these women are coming out of abusive relationships- one’s where they do fear to stand up to a man. Men benefit from their positions of power in almost every situation. Fear to speak out is so common… so why does it make a mother mentally unbalanced, or unfit?

    Think about what you are saying- you are no better than the mother you berate.

    Women in an abusive relationship either Never speak out and/or when they leave the abuser and find the courage usually the abuser berates them continually to anyone who would listen; continuing abuse. Shared parenting is used a lot for those men whom want little to no financial responsibility for their children. I’m sure there are a few cases outside the norm whom have a true close bond/love for their children but the statistics probably sway more towards to reduced child support payments; at the risk of forcing a child to spend more time with an irresponsible individual. Relationships/knowing both parents is important but not always in the best interest of the child.
