Right Rinaldo, the Feminists and the Lawyers are a huge blocker to reason and sense. But the required ‘laws’ discussed are still too wishy-washy. Two very clear and necessary laws need passing.

1. All children must be DNA tested at birth and the parents informed of the result. All other parents must have unimpeded right to a DNA test on all their children born prior to such a new law. It is axiomatic that when talking of children and parents, it must be established which person is parent to which child.

2. Both parents must be held totally, absolutely, wholly, jointly and severally responsible and accountable for the financial, emotional, educational, health, wellbeing and safety of their children. No ifs, no buts. Either may call for a mediator in the event of separation or divorce, without abnegation of their responsibilities and accountabilities; and call upon Courts to enforce those responsibilities and accountabilities.

There ought, under these laws, be no need for any Government intervention or ‘child support’ role.

The application of both Laws may need to recognise ‘odd events and special situations’, and protocols developed, but without reduction of obligation of the parents. Also a parent may have a Court approved transfer of responsibilities and accountabilities by mutual agreement to allow for, for instance, adoption or the involvement of a third party (infidelity).

It may be a sop to the lawyers that they may make a fine business in suits against adulterers.

The current ‘unfit’ issue is far too wooly. Unfit or not – and we can all point fingers or declare criteria, some of which might impact on three quarters of the population – the parents must be held accountable for their resonsibilities.

More correctly, joint physical/legal custody and shared parenting, they go together, will not become the law, until men learn the law, cut off the money and force corrupt government servants and women to abide by it!
Once the money is gone, the states interest is gone Women,once the states interference is removed, will start to act better, because by this time we will have passed civil rights legislation to force states, ie by federal intervention, to respect any “shared parenting law”. The women will no longer have the upperhand, they will either abide by the new laws and respect the mans right to be a parent or the corrupt states will have to put them in jail.
However, even when shared parenting is the law and is being enforced, this will not magically solve all the
issues. Women will have to go from being arrongant and high handed, down to being respectful and obedient for a a change. Men will have to go up, going from a visitor and financial support to having a real role as a function, hands on parent.
Some women and some corrupt government thugs will have to go to jail to be made an example of, to scare the other reluctant participants into following the law. They are not going to do it voluntarily, they will have to be made to.
Men on the other hand will have to be rehabilitated as parents in a lot of the cases. Many have never had the right and privelidge of being a real parent and many will find it quite shocking just what a functioning hands on parental role actually entails. How much work it will be and how challenging it will be. Most, will relish this” new right” and be readily up to the task.
Even with a new law, it take years of enforcing it and getting men into shape to handle the new role
It won’t be without problems, but just like the racial civil rights movement, it will be worth it. Because when it come to human dignity, it is worth whatever the cost.
