I haven't read NOW's Family Court Report 2002 but I did read an article about it. It's coming under attack from various groups sympathetic to the Fathers' Rights movement, among others. Isn't NOW increasingly perceived to be a fairly radical organization with a rigid ideological mentality? And won't that tend to work against its respectability when it comes out with these extremely politicized reports? I know the men's movement and fathers' rights organizations need to work hard at countering NOW's message, but isn't the political momentum in the US slowly but surely building in favor of fathers' rights?

That of course means that NOW wants to further criminalize men without any physical evidence of any crime having been committed. It also means that they are afraid of men who want a right to be in their children’s lives, and that they will stop at nothing to seek the destruction of the family.
The greatest tragedy of this is that the news media is able to publish and air these biased reports without any balancing view. They don't even question the validity of the NOW study or make any attempt to verify that it has credibility. I have never seen the news media hold NOW to any ethical standard in reporting the findings on their studies. This has got to be answered just as Glen suggests.

After receiving the order for child support, the economic impact of paying support impels the father to fight for joint or sole custody to avoid the financial burden of being the non-custodial parent.
In other words, men are often able to provide for their children far more efficiently by themselves, rather than paying a woman to provide for their children for them. Perhaps another solution would be to reduce the size of mother-support payments.
Abolish considering mandatory joint custody as always in the best interests of the child.... Visitation time should be completely detached from child support calculations to reduce the incidence of fathers seeking half and sole joint custody to avoid child support payments.
So NOW is not expressing concern for the best interest of the child, they are expressing concern for the best financial interest for the woman.
Provisions for counsel to represent the child should be deleted from the
Family Code and the Judicial Council Rules to protect the parental rights of
mothers.
"Children don't have any rights that might intefere with the size of a woman's mother-support payment."
Identify the parties responsible for the perpetuation of problems...and support organizations to sue under statutes for RICO vis a
vis conspiracy to violate the rights of women.
Are they talking about men's organizations?
The National Congress for Fathers and
Children is a group connected to...Warren Farrell, who has espoused questionable views on
incest
What incredible bias!
