There's a big difference between 40% and 50%. I already checked it out, did my research and found you were not telling the truth.
Should you wish to leave any member a message that requires a response only by that member then I strongly suggest you do it in private because this is a public message board for all to read and respond to.edit on 1-7-2011 by bluemirage5 because: (no reason given)

You are quite right and I'm aware each case that goes before the Family Courts has it's own merits; no two cases are the same.
Generally speak though, if 80% out of 85% of custodial mothers are in the work force then that tells me a majority of single mothers are doing more than their fair share.
No man (including non-custodial fathers) or woman has any idea nor respect for a mother who can juggle between job, home and kids single handedly unless they walk in their shoes.
Ultimately it would be better if non-custodial fathers had their kids 6 months of the year but quite frankly since it become basic law of the Family Courts in regards to access, so few non-custodial fathers were prepared to take up the challenge.
One member brought up the idea of having the children throughout all of the school holidays....12 weeks of the year.....that's all well and good except again almost no non-custodial father takes up the offer either because of job restrictions in regards to time off or because they know they too will fail getting promotions with more pay etc.
Perhaps we need to bring in a 4 day week for both male and female employees with equal pay in the same job or profession? That equates to more equality within the workplace and a more family friendly workplace although no employer presently would sack a male worker if they had to stay home to look after a sick child from time to time. They'll just get deducted pay just like us women do.

To be honest, what does this achieve, so now the tax payer gets to pay for the mother the children and the father, how amusing. Sending someone off to a government run rape factory is not a solution, but I guess the masses will think this is justice, as the prison empire and court system justify further employees, thus growing the crime empire. If it does not grow, it will stagnate or die and we all call this law, order and justice.

I asked what your solution is. Again,you have put out the finer details of Government,and its failures. I do understand this,but it is STILL not an answer,as I asked for one,and you havnt given me one.WHY???? WHY debate the issue,if you offer NO solutions? Or was your response exactly what I said it was,A rant,on the systems failures?The system is broken,that I admit. I offer reform,in the gender biased court system.If you had read ANY of my posts,you would see that my feeling are very similar to yours,but come with solutions. What I really care about is the children. This man has done NOTHING for his children. Our prisons could be free of ALL prisoners,but there should be a spot for this man. He epitomizes a "deadbeat" dad. A "deadbeat" parent. This is where the law SHOULD apply. Not the average Non-custodial trying to make it on scraps,or being subjugated to a gender bias system. Please give me an answer,or a solution to this problem,not why he shouldn't go to jail. There is NO other place for this man,who shrugs his responsibility's as a parent.
