THIS IS THE TRUTH
CHILDREN ARE HURT BY MINNESOTA FAMILY LAWâ€
Minnesota's antiquated child custody laws need to be changed and the same holds true in every state of the union. We currently have a system of sole physical custody. This means it is presumed that there has to be a winner and a loser in divorce and custody battles. Sadly, children and fathers are typically the losers. In Minnesota, mothers were awarded sole physical custody 94% of the time, with fathers receiving sole physical custody 6% of the time. Unmarried fathers are presumed to have no rights to their children and must file a lawsuit in court if they want to try to get any rights to parent them.
“There is a fundamental liberty right guaranteed to both parents by the 14th Amendment to the care, custody, and nurture of their children. According to the US Supreme Court in the 2000 ruling of Troxel v. Granville
: “Absent a Compelling State Interest of harm or potential harm to the child, the State may not intervene in the privacy of family life.â€â€
It is well-settled that parents have a liberty interest in the custody of their children. Hence, any deprivation of that interest by the state must be accomplished by procedures meeting the requirements of due process ( Hooks v. Hooks , United States Court of Appeals decision 1985). Indeed, the right to rear one's children is so firmly rooted in our culture that the United States Supreme Court has held it to be a fundamental liberty interest protected by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution ( Hawk v. Hawk , Tennessee Supreme Court decision 1993).
Overall, research studies show that children of joint custodians are better adjusted than children of sole custodians on each of the following measures: general adjustment; family relations; self-esteem; emotional adjustment; behavioral adjustment; and divorce-specific adjustment.
"Joint Physical Custody†improves child support compliance. Researchers have found a positive correlation between the frequency of a parent's contact with a child and the payment of child support. Fathers who have little or no contact with their children after a divorce pay only about 34% of their child support, while fathers with regular contact pay 85% or more of theirs.
“THE REMOVAL OF A FIT, LOVING PARENT FROM A CHILD IS CHILD ABUSEâ€. Let's work together to stop the abuse.
