Spouse Working Late Again? Right!

The Fathers' Rights movement is a movement whose members are primarily interested in issues related to family law, including child custody and child support that affect fathers and their children. Many members of the Fathers’ Rights movement are fathers who desire to share the parenting of their children equally with their children's mother - either after divorce or as unwed fathers. Many women, including the second wives, girlfriends or close relatives of these fathers, are also members of the Fathers' Rights movement.

In today’s society where women seek equal opportunities in the workplace and where both mothers and fathers pursue careers, a “stay-at-home” wife and mother is a less common occurrence. Along with this, fathers are playing an increased role in the home environment, including spending time with children and being more active in raising them. Most of the members of the fathers' rights movement had little prior interest in the law or politics. However, as they felt that their goal of equal shared parenting was being frustrated by the family courts, many took an interest in family law, including child custody and child support.

There is no question that a child will share a special relationship with his or her mother. However, a child’s relationship with his or her father is just as important and should be protected. Having both parents involved in raising a child is usually in the best interests of the child in the long run, and that is precisely what court decisions are based upon in regards to legal issues affecting children, such as custody, support and visitation.
