About
The Fathers' Rights Movement
The Fathers’ Rights Movement is a group of men and women who are committed to helping loving fathers enjoy their full rights and responsibilities, as well as helping children have their fathers in their lives. We strongly support and advocate the rebuttable presumption of 50/50 shared parenting. It is easy to blame ex-wives for the bias against fathers. The problems, however, run far deeper and are in many ways societal. Before the 1970’s, sole child custody was almost universally — and automatically — granted to the mother, especially for young children still in what were called the “tender years.” A father’s contribution to his children’s lives was thought to be largely financial. In the United States, child custody battles were virtually unheard of. Mothers got the benefit of any doubt.
Mission
Our Impact
The Fathers’ Rights Movement’s primary goal is to educate society on the importance of the rebuttable presumption of 50-50 Shared Parenting by raising awareness about the imbalances and injustices within the system of Family Law, which will empower fathers to exercise their full rights and responsibilities leading to the betterment of our childrens’ lives.
Our aim is, in a word, change. We want to change thinking. We want to change behavior. And we want to change the legal and societal assumptions about fathers that have been prevalent for more than half a century.

The Next Parental Revolution
By Donnie Casto II I never expected to be back at the writing desk, much less writing about parental equality again. Since my journey started on December 23, 2003, when I was served with my divorce papers during a 12-hour shift at work, I have watched countless holidays, school moments, and missed milestones disappear. I’ve paid […]

Children are victims too
After 2,329 — two thousand three hundred twenty nine days — the mask fell off. After 1,029 days my now 19 nineteen year old daughter slept under my roof again. We had our first homecooked meal together in my home. How does that happen, right? I’m glad you asked. The every other weekend standard garbage […]

Forgiveness
My Grandfather Realized The Power Of Forgiveness During His Last Hour. This Doesn’t Have To Be You. By Mark Winkler Reprinted From Blavity News In the fall of 1992, I sat in a hospital with my father, my older brother and my grandfather.

Navigating the Teen Dating Milestone
By Mark Winkler One day soon my 13-year-old daughter will come to me and asked the big question, “Can I go out with my friend‘?” Let’s be clear, she will be asking if she can start dating. For many parents, including myself, that is a moment that we wish we could somehow stall until we […]

The color of law has been erased
By: Kenneth Rosa The USA is a constitutional republic and the rule of the majority never exceed the importance of the individual’s rights. The executive, legislative, and judicial branch are to ensure that individual’s rights are protected by each. The American people let the three collaborate to ignore the responsibilities each are supposed to provide. […]

The Day After
By: Kenneth Rosa We all know that day. The day after Father’s Day, your birthday, Christmas or Thanksgiving. The day after any significant event in your life your children don’t, won’t, or can’t acknowledge you as being a human being let alone their father. We can have a million people wish us a happy Father’s […]

The Power of Connectivity
I’ve come to more deeply understand healthy human connection, something many considered expendable, is a primary ingredient for peace and joy.

Bridging The Generational Divide
Over the past few years, we’ve heard the term millennials frequently thrown about. Often when we hear it, it’s used by prior generations—Baby Boomers and Generation X— almost as a pejorative. From casual conversation to mainstream news media, Millennials are characterized as the source of many ills in this nation. They have been labeled disruptive, too unconventional, […]

Fatherhood & Masculinity
Fatherhood and Masculinity “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” –Frederick Douglass I love this quote. Every time I read it, I am reminded of all the broken or incomplete men I’ve encountered during my life, including myself at one time, because of something I call Radicalized Masculinity – the distorted […]
THE SCOURGE OF ABSENT FATHERS
Crisis
There is a father-absence crisis in America. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children live in homes without a biological, step or adoptive father. This is a problem not only for those children, but also for society at large. Consider these eye-popping statistics — a child in a father-absent home is:
4x more likely to live in poverty
7x more likely to become pregnant as a teen
2x more likely to drop out of high school
More likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, commit crime, go to prison.
Our Crisis Team needs your support!
The contribution of fathers to children’s lives is much, much more than financial.
