'A group of local fathers said they would love to spend Father's Day celebrating with their children.

Instead, they'll be protesting at the Rock County Courthouse against what they see as gender inequality in the child custody decisions of courts. The protesters, who are part of the Wisconsin Fathers' Rights Movement, will carry banners, and a podium will be available for anyone who wants to speak.

In divorces, mothers receive custody of children 80 percent of the time, said Janesville father and rally organizer Jeremiah Jacobs.

“That's not OK,” he said. “It's the children who suffer. Fatherless children is the cause of a lot of problems in our society.”'
