" Shared Parenting"
My name is Alan and 1 have an odd situation.
I have a sole parenting arrangement for 1 of my children and a shared parenting arrangement that seems to work quite well for my other 2 children
even though 1 have little contact with my ex wife. The only contact is through SMS texting and only where the child is concerned.
I have 3 children, a daughter who is nearly fifteen and 2 boys 11 years and 12 years.
When my exwife and 1 separated my daughter (who was 12 at the time) decided that she wanted to stay with me and refused to have anything
to do with my exwife. They never really got along anyway.
My daughter lives with me and has done so since the separation, My exwife did not like the idea of not spending time with her daughter
but has had to accept as it was my daughters decision.
I have always made sure that my daughter knows that it is and will always be her decision whether she spends time with her mother and when
the time comes she probably will.
My 2 boys however share us both and works as below:
The way it works is that there is a roster system that rotates over a two week period. I pick up the boys on Monday afternoon after school
and have them for 2 nights. They go to school on Wednesday morning and are picked up by my exwife in the afternoon. She has them 2 nights
and drops them off at school on Friday morning and 1 pick them up in the afternoon. I have them for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights and send
them to school on Monday morning and so forth. The next weekend the boys are with my exwife. I have them every second weekend.
This way I do not have to have any real contact with her physically. I prefer it this way.
The boys seem to be able to cope. They are always glad to see me and are not away from me for any length of time.
I run my house my way and she runs her house her way.
In addition, I would just like to say that in this day and age the idea of Fathers not being able to" Mother" 'their children is a false statement
as with the last 20 or so years most Fathers have taken a more hands on role with raising children. Long gone are the days where fathers just went
to work and had little to do with the kids. Fathers also do a lot more work around the house and sometimes the majority of the housework. Quite
honestly my house is a lot cleaner these days than it was when my exwife resided here. Fathers are these days very much able to cope with being
sole or shared parents.
I should also mention that I work full time and with a little help from a few of my best friends I am able to cope with this situation very well.
The children and I have always been very close.
I hope that my story helps other fathers and spurs them on to demand their rights to be a real Father.
Thank You

"Fathering"
This is a copy of an article in the latest issue of MEN'S HEALTH, p 122, titled 'Top Smarts." was written by Harry Stein about the contributions fathers have in the art of parenting.
"There is no political agenda, nor is there any statement to the effect that mothers cannot do these things - just an indication that fathers - good fathers - tend to have these things to offer to parenting equation more than mothers.
(1) Take kids seriously--but lightly. Kid your kids.
(2) Youre their parent, not their Pal- set boundaries.
(3) Kids are tougher than mums think. Let them take risks, experience pain.
(4) A father makes sure his kids' actions have consequences.
(5) Make few rules; enforce them consistently-
(6) A dad knows when it's his turn to support his kids. Usually comes in most handy in times of real crisis, wheras mom provides it best on a day to day basis.
(7) A father insists on fair play. Less emotion, more simple justice.
(8) A father demonstrates what it means to be a gentleman-
(9) Rough enough just isn't good enough. Set high standards.
(10) Above all else, a dad perseveres.
These pointers were gathered by the author from talking to various fathers and I can see almost all of them in my own relationship with my dad, and my relationships with my children. Overall, they ring very true.
Is it nice to have a men's magazine normally devoted to work-outs and sex run an article like this? you bet. Why. Because we need to pay attention to what fathers do best, to acknowledge it, to encourage it, to describe it, to teach it. It is so easy to buy into the notion that parents are modular. But each parent plays a unique and vital role. This simple list says a lot about the value of a good father. Also because a list like this reminds us of the best and worst in our own fathers and our own reactions to them. Take item #8 above. MY dad, having been raised by people who were too lenient with him, was very demanding and strict with me- sometimes to a fault. I, in turn, reacted to that, and think I have demanded too little. As many of us have been told of the vices of fathers, we have had a tendency to back off from ,the roles a father needs to play. It's much easier to avoid the risk of being the bad guy -
especially with a 50% divorce rate. We need to be reminnded of fathers' unique virtues, so that we do not shy away from them ourselves and are able to appreciate them in those who came before us even when they carried them overboard or used poor judgement in the process of trying to."
"It Happened ... A young man's view"
The following letter was received by email. It is from a young man who wishes to remain anonymous and was written in response to an article published on the Men's Rights Agency in Queensland.
Thank you, so much for your efforts.
I am an I 8 year old male whose parents were divorced, and my father is generally treated so badly... it makes me sick... he spent his whole life working 7 days a week, 9-8pm as a chemist. I remember from my childhood staying up real late, and eventually a car would come creeping up the driveway and I'd run out and hug the strange ,fuzzy, man.
My father is still paying. I live with my father now, but my mother still picks up family allowance and other payments. She still claims hardship, despite the fact that my grandparents just gave her $257,000 for a new house.
I feel that the Australian culture is unfairly biased towards people like me and my father. I thank for your efforts and hope to do whatever I can gain awareness for your issues."

"Mum s and Sons, Dads and daughters"
It is often stated that boys need their fathers and that girls need their mothers. For fathers with daughters, it is quite often used as an argument
in court to down?play the importance of contact. On this page we see how two Antipodean writers argue the importance of the opposite sex parent.
Why mothers are important for sons
Janice Turner writes on The Times Parents page that raising boys can play havoc with your feminist principles. She argues that mothers must accept
their maleness and teach them to cope with the education system and girls' emotional games. The Australian Steve Biddulph's book Raising
Boys has proved a great help.
Excerpts from Planet Boy: Where Mum Fades from the Picture
Becoming a mother of boys plays havoc with one's feminist principles. A foundation stone of female equality was a denial of any difference
between the sexes: girls like dolls and boy prefer trucks only because that is how we raise them.So when Joe's first word was "car" and his
instant response to my old Tiny Tears doll was to dismember it, 1 felt guilt and unease...
Salvation came in the shape of Steve Biddulph, parenting guru, and ground breaking book Raising Boys...
"It is simple biology," says Biddulph. My sons charging around, competing, building, climbing and fighting are run on that human rocket fuel,
testosterone. With their greater muscle bulk and right?brain development, they are less likely to sit round threading beads, or making subtle,
nuanced left- brain conversation.
... Where Raising Boys truly helped was in its practical ideas for civilising my two human cyclones. For example, Biddulph suggests that
"if you want to get along with boys, learn to wrestle". So most mornings, like some grunting old he?bear romping with his cubs, my husband
grapples and chucks them around for ten minutes. It calms everyone down. Particularly him...
To a mother of boys, crime figures and wars are at once more understandable and harder to distance yourself from. I no longer regard
anti-male jokes or advertising as a kick against authority. 1 think: "Are you talking about my sons"
The opposite?sex parent holds the key to self?esteem," says 'Biddulph.
That makes me the prototype of all future relationships. Withhold affection and 1 could make him a neurotic mess, overdo the worship
and he will end up, running Bates Motel. It is not hard, however, to reciprocate the simple, unconditional affection of small boys, their
bear hugs and clear?eyed tenderness. It is somehow touching when this coarse, tough little male, his hair still smelling of the garden,
demands that you curl beside him on the sofa. Girls seem emotionally tricksy by comparison with their "love you, hate you" game playing.
And yet I must teach my boys to deal with all that cruel, crushing female armoury, and stop them losing heart in an educational system of
continual assessment, re?organised for super ambitious Hermiones with their diligence, neat hand?writing and battery of different colour pens....
But I must also honour my duty to those same girls who as women will love my sons when 1 am gone. I owe it to them to produce men capable
of trust, empathy and gentleness...
... Biddulph says that from six to fourteen boys"lock on" to fathers to teach them what it is to be a man. He is uncompromising, too,
about what is required: If you routinely work a 50?60 hour week, including travelling times you won't cut it as a dad." Harsh, but maybe it is
time that men had a taste M working?mother guilt.
Why fathers are important for daughters
From New Zealand's Caring Fathers newsletter, via The Noos, newsletter of the Lone Fathers Association of Australia by Warwick Pudney
Children put importance on "real", genetic fathers, It's part of establishing identity.
Fathers are responsible for building that part of positive self?esteem that originates from a man. This will help her feel good with men.
Affirmation by father helps when dealing with negativity and criticism, or abuse from males.
Fathers need to touch and hold in affirming, non?sexual ways. For daughters, sex and affection may become confused if not.
This gives a gior greater physical self love, and a sense that she can be unconditionally loved by, men.
The father may impart a sense of adventure and confidence in the non?domestic world.
The father has an important connection with the outdoors, nature and wild places.
A father can give a sense of' secuirty and protection by setting boundaries for the for the girl and preventing hurt and danger to his daughter.
For daughters in teen years, it is important to learn how to relate to a man in a safe, confident. affirming and boundary?setting manner.
Loving approval from a father may prevent dependence and vulnerability in relationships with males.
Fathers have a sense of risk?taking an excitement. They play and explore physical space in a robust manner.
Fathers teach things about the world especially in the realm of the rational, ill spartial relationships, and physical action.
Fathers support mothers.
Fathers give confidence that things can he fixed.
Fathers affirm risk?taking and achievement.
Some tasks are done equally well, or better by women, but it is good to have two parents doing them.
As fathers, we may all fall short from time to time, but the Challenge is to do thing's well.
"Stress and Father involvement"
The following article by Stuart Birks (New Zealand) dated 19th August 1998, revised 20th August
1998, was extracted from the internet. It provides some interesting opinions.
An interesting article was published in the May issue of the Journal of Marriage and the Family (pages 277-292). It is by Doherty W J, Kouneski E F and Erickson M F and is called, "Responsible Fathering:An overview and Concepual Framwork". While recognising the important contribution fathers can make, it also acknowledges that "substantial barriers stand in the way of active, involved fathering." Among these, mention is given to gate –keeping by mothers.
This may be linked to the relationship between the parents, especially if they are separated, but ",even within satisfactory marital relationships, a father's involvement with his children, especially young children, is often contingent on the mother's attitudes toward, expectations of, and support for the father" The authors cite studies indicating that, "many mothers are ambivalent about the fathers, active involvement with their children."
By way of explanation, they say that, "active parental involvement would threaten some women's identity and sense of control over this central domain of their lives" Not surprisingly perhaps, conflict or stress between parents can therefore be a major inhibitor of effective father involvement. As Doherty et al. State, " Research demonstrates the particular vulnerability of fathering to contextual and institutional practices."
It is encouraging to see specific acknowledgment of this in a report by the Department of Health and
Human services in the U.S. The report, Non Custodial Parents" Participation in Their Children's Lives: Evidence from the survey of Income and Program Participation Volume 2, was published in August 1996. It recognised, " a need for more researcch on non-custod7tal fathers the stresses they face, how they cope, their emotional adjustment, how they feel about changes in their parenting role, and factors that alleviate stress."' Several of the DHHS reports policy recommendations were aimed at reducing stress so as to increase effective parenting by fathers . There, is also need to pay attention to the nature of father involvement, rather than simply following the approach adopted in New Zegand of "enjoyment of access,". To quote:
,Given that most children desire the continuing presence of a father in their lives and that fathers may disengage from their parental responsibilities in part because they feel no sense of control over the new arrangements, steps should be taken to enable fathers to have a more active post.divorce role. There will, of course, be cases where this will be impossible because of the inability of the two parents to cooperate because the father has no interest in remaining involved, or because of a history of past abuse. But, when it is at all feasible, policy should encourage parental involvement.
Allow paternal role to continue, to the extent possible,
Find ways to allow fathers to have a meaningful role in their children's lives where they can shoulder some of the responsibility of raising the child.
Find ways to enable non custodial parents to have some control over child's life. "

"Equally Married, Unequal after Separation and Divorce"
Potentially you have nearly I in 2 chances of becoming involved in a marriage breakdown (according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics). Recent statistics show that there are over 850,000 registered cases with the Child Support Agency and an additional 5,000 new registrations with the Family Court each month. Marriage breakdowns are costing the Federal Government approximately $1.88 Billion per year. 'This doesn't include the lost productivity from the 140,000 Non-Custodial Parents who have dropped out of the work force and, the costs of those who have unfortunately committed suicide. A typical scenario is, if you are in your mid thirties, and have been married for around 10 years with two or more children, of which the youngest is around school age, you work in excess of 50 hours per week, you would be a prime candidate for a marriage breakdown.
l,one Fathers Association Victoria is proud to be associated with a network of 17 Branches Australia wide who are helping Non-Custodial Parents (92.2% are male) through the hardships that they face due to a marriage breakdown. Fathers for Family Equity Inc. and Fathers for Equality are also pleased to support the,
· GRANS Group - supports all the grandparents who are supporting their children and grandchildren.
· PoPPs -- Partners of Paying Parents, the women of second families, they too have to carry the burdens of the Non-Ciistodial Parents.
'The Family court usually allocates between 60 - 80% of' the assets to the custodial parent (92.2% are female) and also allows you to see your children one full day per week (every 2nd weekend), and divides the superannuation up on a 50/50 basis. 'Then comes along the Child Support Agency and takes 27% (for two children) of your gross sallary All this is in the best interest of the children. The Australian Institute of Studies research shows that only I in 3 Non-custodial parents manage to maintain regular and frequen contact with their children, because of the limited contact allowed.
It is very unfortunate that we are now receiving over 10 calls per day from people who are lost and do not now what to do, some are living in their cars, living with their parents, some commit suicide some battle on in hope that things will change. 'The one thing is that men need to know that here is a group who can offer support and guidance.

Fathers for Family Equity Inc. Presidents Report ( Men and Family Relationships
Conference)
I attended the Men and Family Relationships Conference in Canberra on June 9, 10 and 11.
The Conference was sponsored by the -Federal Attorney Generals Department using funding
targeted at "Domestic Violence"' The aim of the conference was to come up with
strategies which would encourage men to make greater use of counselling services for their
domestic violence problem. $6 million is to be made available to counselling services and
community agencies to address 'Mens" domestic violence. The gender undercurrent of
the conference was obvious finally recognised after lunch on June 11, when John Clarke of
DADS was asked to present his views in a previously "unprogrammed" speech. John
spoke from the heart exposing the cause of men's anger, calling for Family Court reform
and a review the Child Support System in conjunction with an understandings of domestic
violence "situations" created by both genders. The 320 "Professionals"
attending the conference were forced to stop "gender based applause" and to
workshop solutions in five workshop groups for the remainder of the afternoon. The
workshops made suggestions in five streams.
1 .Relationship education
2 Services
3. Violence
4 Community
5. Parenting
I chose to attend the "Parenting" stream where the Family and child Court
Support Scheme were targets for reform. The task we were required to complete at our
tables were:
1 Turn the broad heading into a goal statement
2 Identify what we already have to build on
3 What is not working that we should begin to do or think differently about?
4.Who are the key people we need to influence (be as specific as possible)?
5.What are some immediate actions we can take to make a difference?
6.What are the major actions we should take over the next 5 years?
7 What are your suggested first steps?
8 What will People at your table (individually or collectively) specifically commit to do
to make things happen?
The Attorney General thanked us for our efforts assured us that our work would be taken
into consideration by the Government. The conference papers are available on the internet:
Commonwealth
Government ( Men and Family Relationships Report) or a hard copy from the
Attorney General's Department for $25. 1 came away from Canberra encouraged by what I had
seen and participated in, but remain sceptical until I see appropriate results. We
definitely needed to be there, if only to add weight to the gender based applause.
Yours sincerely,
Malcolm H Mathias,

The following extract is taken from the book "Manhood"
In a nutshell,
* Feminism elevates women from a long subservience. It is important and must contiue.
* But most men have been subservient too - to a dehumanising system that only grew worse
with the advent of the industrial era.
* Today men are ripe for a transformation. Fathering is very likely the key place to
start.
The Child Support System and Family Law Act must provide us with the means to be fathers
ie. Access(contact) and the financial means to provide a reasonable lifestyle for our
children when we do have contact

"Book Review- Divorced Dads, Shattering the Myths"
The following extract from The Detroit News of Wednesday 21 October 1998, reviews
A new book "Divorced Dads- Shattering the Myths". The article was written by Cathy Young, Vice President of the Women's Freedom Network. You may write to her at The Detroit News, Editorial Page, 615 W. Lafkyette Blvd., Detroit, Mich. 48226, USA.
The article is reprinted as it has many parallels in Australia. The stereotypes referred to in the article apply equally here. We have edited the financial comments as they were not relevant to the Child Support formula used in Australia.
"In a society sensitive to stereotypes, few groups have as bad an image as the divorced father. Despite a few positive portrayals in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, he is generally seen as a cad who walks out on his wife and kids to vacation in Hawaii with a blonde half his age.
Divorced Dads: Shattering the Myths (Penguin Putnam), written by Arizona State University psychologist Sanford Braver with Diane O'Connell, is a powerful and well-documented brief in defence of this despised creature. Braver, who has conducted an eight-year study of parents after divorce, knocks down the stereotypes one by one. To begin with, most divorced fathers don't "walk out."' At least two-thirds of the time, the mother is not only the one who files for divorce but the one who wants out of the marriage. And it's usually not, as many assume, because the father beats her, drinks or cheats; most commonly, mothers cite such reasons as "growing apart" or "not feeling loved or appreciated." Nor is it true that, once divorced, fathers are likely to desert their children emotionally and financially.
Most fathers who are steadily employed consistently pay child support (their record is especially impressive if one looks not only at mothers' reports, on which most statistics are based, but at fathers" own reports) and work to stay in their children's lives. So-called "runaway dads" are often "driven- away dads": they vanish because their ex-wives keep them away.
Weitzman and other feminist scholars have claimed that divorce settlements are tilted in favour
of fathers because men are favoured by a male-dominated system and are more aggressive negotiators. Yet on average, mothers are more satisfied with divorce settlements than fathers. Ten percent of mothers in Braver's sample thought the system was slanted in favour of fathers, while 75 percent of fathers thought it was slanted in favour of mothers - and more than a quarter of mothers agreed!
Braver doesn't paint all divorced fathers as martyrs; he certainly doesn't paint all divorced mums as vindictive shrews. He admits that irresponsible or abusive 'Bad dads' exist, and that sometimes the mother tries in vain to keep the father involved. But Divorced Dads argues that these are the exceptions. Our public policy has focused on hunting "deadbeat dad" while disregarding the bigger problem of disenfranchised dads. What are the solutions?
Encouraging mediation instead of litigation. Programs to help divorced fathers remain active parents. A presumption of joint legal custody and substantial contact with both parents, rebuttable by evidence that this is not in the child's best interest.
Braver's work is unlikely to receive the same acclaim as Weitzman's now-discredited research, because it challenges our cultural prejudices rather than reinforce them. Both liberals and conservatives have promoted the image of men as the bad guys in divorce - the former because it squares with their view of women as victims of male oppression, the latter because it squares with their view that men are biologically predisposed to sow their wild oats. From now on, any politician or commentator who traffics in these stereotypes should be required to read Divorced Dads."
"Book Review" Where's Daddy - The mythologies behind custody-access-support
When 50% of marriages end in divorce and 43% of children are left with one parent, everyone is affected: uncles, aunts,
grandparents, and friends, but mostly the children. The devastation from our divorce practices is our most public secret scandle
Everyone whispers it, the whispers never acknowledged. It seems that as long as a villain can be created, society is content.
After three decades of research universally pointing to more productive options, why does Custody-Access-Support remain? Why
are the facts ignored? Why do so many still insist it is natural or obvious? This book examines divorce customs in the context of
our culture as a whole. In this light, the distortions become clear, as do the answers, which are much closer at hand than most think

*************************************************************
A Message To Child Support Workers and Government Officials:
*************************************************************
Warning!
You may be participating in an act of discrimination, if your state is
unlawfully enforcing the rights of only one party to a divorce decree, and not the other.
The right to receive child support and the right to visit a biological
child are created simultaneously, with the stroke of a pen. They are not separate. These
rights are conditions to the same contract and provisions of the same court order.
Enforcing child support without enforcing visitation is an equal rights
violation against non-custodial parents, and ultimately hurts the children who have a
right to see them.
Denying access to children, which is also caused by moving away with
them and withholding the home address, is a serious crime - only one step down from
kidnapping.
This can result in anxiety and emotional damage to tens of thousands of
parents and children, which has a detrimental effect on our society. Someone you know may
be suffering.
If you had a choice, would you really want to be involved with violating
someone's constitutional rights?
Please encourage your state government to develop a strong child
visitation enforcement program immediately.
This is Theoretical Opinion - Not Legal Advice. It is
yet to be proven in the courts.
