Fathers Rights

I saw this headline via my Google News Reader: Indiana boy, 8, is latest to be left in Nebraska
It’s about the Nebraska law that children to be left at a hospital without fear of prosecution.  The media and all the groups have focused on several incidents where teenagers and older children have been left. They say the focus iof the law is really intended to be on infants, so that mothers who give birth can abandon their children and let them live, instead of kiling them right after their birth.

Ummm…. Where’s DAD in all this?

Read the article: it says that “parents” can drop the child at the hospital - but in none of the coverage have I heard that DAD was even identifed, let alone contacted. It seems that everyone is concerned that mothers are dropping off children they can’t raise.  Well maybe they never should have had custody in tghe firwst place.  And maybe outr society should actually treat fathers as having an equal presumption to custody, rather than coming up with BS laws to protect mothers who abandon their children instead of murdering them.

I know we just got through Halloween, so it seems a little early to talk about Christmas.  And Christmas usually is not associated with father’s rights.  But you fathers who did NOT get to see your kids for Halloween KNOW that you need to get in court early if mom gives you grief about seeing the children for Christmas.  What’s her excuse? Family reunion?  Her dad/mom/other relative is really sick? The kids don’t want to spend Christmas with you? Puh-LEEZE!  The sheep in the fields where the shepherds were didn’t drop that much !

Not seeing your children on holidays can interfere with your relationship with them, erode your parental authority, and reinforce her campaign of parental alienation.  In a custody battle, grabbing the holidays is a power play for her to use in court. 

If Mom has usually or has always denied you time with your children on Christmas, make THIS year different.  How?
1. Send her a letter or email or fax (something in writing - KEEP a copy for yourself) of the EXACT days and times you will have the children for Christmas.  You must take your parenting time schedule into consideration in doing this.
2. If she denies you your schedule - make sure it is IN WRITING.  If she calls you to tell you to go pound sand, then send her a follow-up letter/email/fax that says “On I requested time with the children as follows . On you telephoned me to tell me my request was denied (include her reason, if she gave one).  Please let me know in writing if this is not correct.”
3. File a pleading with your court that she intends to deny you parenting time during Christmas, which is contempt of court, and a request for an order to enforce your parenting time (this may be an injunction or a restraining order or some other designation in your jurisdiction).

Do NOT wait.  Courts generally do not consider holiday time controversies to be “emergencies” mainly because holiday dates are known a year in advance and can be scheduled.  So do something NOW.
