Landmark child custody ruling

Doctor Damage writes "It seems that every time I turn around, I am seeing hopeful signs of a change in the wind. A landmark ruling by the California Supreme Court upheld a decision by a lower court to transfer custody to the father if the childrens mother chose to move out of state. Even more hopeful in my opinion, are these words from NOW:

"The National Organization for Women said the decision "binds the lives of many women and men, for that matter, who are trying to provide safety and economic opportunity for their families."

Setting aside the blatant attempt to portray moveaway moms as abused waifs fleeing from the depredations of slavering males, if even the NOW is beginning to recognise that it takes more than weeping over the hardships of women to move public and/or official opinion, then perhaps our work has not been in vain."
