Equal Rights For Fathers

UPDATE as of 10/21/14:  My immediate need is $750 more, in order to secure a guardian ad litem who will help decide which parent should have the final say in Education. I need to make a payment by 10/24/14. (The $675 that is showing as of today is from previous donations, which helped me to secure a lawyer!)

 Beyond that, I am sure there will be other court fees.  Any contribution will help me and I am extremely grateful! 

Let me start by saying that I love my kids with all my heart.  We have beautiful relationships.  I am involved in their lives, and my role as a father is my #1 role.   As strange as it may sound, I have wanted to be a Dad since I was a young boy!  

I believe that fathers are just as important as mothers.  I believe that children should have the right to have equal access to both fathers and mothers (if both parents are fit).  

I hate divorce.  I hate that my kids are innocent but they have to deal with their lives being rearranged.  I grieve for them. 

On paper, I have joint legal custody, and joint physical custody.  Yet, I often seem to have no voice. I pay 100% of the child support and have never been late on a payment.   I am a teacher, and I am doing my best to pay all the bills.
