This site is run by a proud father of a little girl. When my daughter was less than one year old, her mother asked for a divorce and soon began preventing my daughter and I from seeing one another.
This was and still is very troubling to me because I am a very dedicated father. When I was a teenager, I witnessed my own father pass away shortly after his second wife gave birth to a little girl. I missed my father very much, but I felt sad that my half-sister would never know her father. Perhaps that is why I am so thankful that I am able to nurture, teach, and support my daughter as she grows. I am still shocked that it was so easy to prevent me from doing so.
I spent a lot of money for legal advice and assistance and was eventually able to restore my parental rights. This awful experience has led me to believe that the family court system leaves much to be desired. More specifically, based upon my experience and upon stories from other fathers, the family court system is fundamentally biased against father’s and is structured in such a way that there is little to no recourse for any injustices, large or small, committed against families in general.
I’m hopeful that my story and the entries I make on this blog will be of other fathers facing similar challenges, those fighting for father’s rights, and to those researching the topic
