Article here. Excerpt:
'It's a question of fairness in parenting.
A federal lawsuit — which could set new precedent — names judges and the Tennessee Attorney General on the issue of child custody.
That lawsuit argues that state law is unfairly biased against fathers, and is unconstitutional.
Historically, often with good reason, judges have favored the mother in child custody cases.
But times have changed, and one middle Tennessee man says the law unfairly excludes fathers from their children's lives.
Dr. Scott Wilson loves his daughter.
He and her mother never married, but they lived together since their child was born.'
