Obviously Divorcenet
Obviously, Divorcenet hasn't looked at Australia yet. Look at the last line in this excerpt.
Activity on the Divorcenet.com fathers' rights bulletin board actively reflects this conflict. After analyzing the conversation threads, Divorcenet.com's moderator and editor-in-chief have identified the most controversial fathers' rights issues:
There are now approximately 2.2 million single fathers (in the US), up from 1.7 million in 1995. As more and more fathers have expressed an interest in being active parents, the courts have abandoned traditional biases related to gender in parenting and all 50 states have made their custody statutes gender-neutral.
The trend here in Australia, especially in Victoria, is for the law to be well behind the curve on child custody, and the rest of the world. Australia is still trying to condemn all males as Abusers, and thinks -- in the legal mind -- that all women are victims. -- The perspective of the opportunistic Victim Feminists.
Oversight?
A court system that slanders and tars a man as an Abuser because he raises his voice in an argument yet allows a woman to commit cold-blooded murder, is not practicing equal protection under the law no matter what the extenuating circumstances.
This is not a matter of judicial discretion. It's simply a matter of lazy, self-serving politicized Justice System (- and I use the phrase loosely -) and a magistracy that knows it is free from oversight and standards.
But, someone may ask, isn't there someone who is supposed to oversee the performance of the magistracy? Well, in theory, the Justice Department and the Judicial Practice Committee. In Victoria, the Justice Department is too busy performing the duties of political hatchet man; and the Judicial Practice Committee only issues a report that makes suggestions about judicial conduct -- completely non-binding suggestions -- every 3-4 years when they get around to it.
In effect, there is no oversight. There are no rules for evidence. Common Law and precedent are easily ignored by magistrates, who are more influenced by the prevailing political winds than the accepted standards of Justice.In one area of the law, the rights of the accused are lost; in another, violent criminals are not even punished.
It is a sad irony to hear Mr McIntosh say:
The community, of law around the world and the public community, are far ahead of the Justice Department. In such a climate, Victorian AG Rob Hulls is setting up a Victim Feminist activist court from the top down.
Were Justice to truly be served in Victoria, Mr Hulls would be removed from office; all his appointments would be reversed; the magistrates' and officials' salaries, benefits, and property used to fund the reparations to those who have endured the discriminatory practices of these courts and system.But then, that would be Justice.
And Justice is not what is being sought in Victoria.

- Why shared custody is not automatic
- What rights fathers have when mothers andchildren move out of state
- Men making child-support payments whenDNA tests show they are not thebiological fathers of their wives' children
- Mothers having the final word on child-rearing
- What a father can do when the custodial motheralienates children from him

"Ultimately, the law may actually be ahead of the curve in erasing gender as an issue from child custody," Sooho added. "However, this survey demonstrates the loss of control felt by divorcing parents -- especially fathers -- and how easily children's interests can become secondary to those of the parents.
The trend here in Florida is to make the parents deal with the issues. -- divorced mother
