The federal government provides subsidies to States in order to enforce women's rights and the rights of mothers to obtain, in some cases undue support from fathers.
With a very high divorce rate and many single parent homes, the issue of children' rights has become highly unevenly tilted towards women.
Currently there is a massive gender bias and many financial and social inhibitors that prevent highly qualified fathers from obtaining custody of their children. Even in cases where the mother is a lesser choice for a guardian, less than 15% of fathers win custodial rights.
With 2 wonderful children benefiting from a strong father and mother, President Obama should create measures that increase the opportunities for good father to raise their children.
