In reply to the discussion: Do you support the Father's Rights Movement? [View all]cali

and the day of women getting sole custody automatically is gone.
Custody cases should be looked at individually, and when possible, shared custody is the best way to go.

I support equal rights for both parents. I'm suspicious of "father's rights" movement, however.
