dad fights for joint custody law,
2008-05-19
2008-05-19 Michigan dad fights for joint custody law, Parents'
equal access to children called a civil rights issue
How to March;
Suggested format for
Equal Parenting Roundups;
Equal
Parenting Trek for Natural Parents' Rights;
Meetup for Equal Parenting Trek;
Robert Pedersen was devastated three years ago when a
divorce judge said he could see his two children only a few days
a month. ...Michigan law recommends that custody decisions
be based on which parent has been the primary caregiver unless
it can be
 shown that another arrangement is
 more
appropriate, but Pedersen and other noncustodial parents are
fighting to modify the law so joint physical custody becomes the
norm. They view equal parenting access as a civil rights issue,
but opponents <all with a vested interest
 in Sole
Custody
outcomes> say equal time isn't always best for children.
... "With the pain of a divorce, a lot of stupid
decisions are made initially as far as the kids go,"
said
Pedersen, who plans to ride his bike from Lansing to Washington, D.C.,
this summer to raise awareness of the issue. "There are
different
 contributions that Mom and
Dad make to a child, and
kids need both of them." ... You can

2005-05-01 Expert Opinion: "Gay
Rights not protected under the Charter"
"Opponents of same
sex-marriage claimed a major victory yesterday after a
respected constitutional expert issued the legal opinion
that Parliament could define marriage as a union between
a man and a woman without contravening the Supreme
Court's comments on the issue. According to Eugene
Meehan, a former national president of the Canadian Bar
Association and former executive legal officer of the
Supreme Court, Canada's highest court has not required
Parliament to amend the Traditional definition, nor has
gay marriage received protection under the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms."

Kilgour, M.P., Home Page ;
Same Sex Marriage Concerns
 Comment:
Go to
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Why
the discrepancy between the SCC Judges' claims,
emphasized vociferously by the Liberals in the last
election, and the Statute? We suggest the problem
is the prevalence of Career Activists -
"New Priests" they call themselves -
purposefully positioning themselves in our Judiciaries
to subvert the powers of the Canadian Electorate and
their elected members of Parliament. In truth the
Charter in TWO places (Section 15.1
Equality Rights and again in Section 28:
General.), the Courts are by Statute of Parliament
and the Legislatures, instructed they MAY NOT
DISCRIMINATE BASED ON GENDER - an every day occurrence
in Family Courts. If Overturnings of Provincial
Court rulings by the Supreme Court of Canada are a
measure of legitimacy or competence, the BC Courts have
the worst record of any Province in the country.
Based on five-year averages, BC, with roughly 14% of the
national population, represents about 35% of the
Canadian Supreme Court Overturnings of Provincial Court
rulings.

The Rise in ‘Gray Divorce’ It’s Always Hubby’s Fault
This TV docudrama highlights the inadequacies
of Inheritance Statutes to protect Grandparents and Natural
Children from theft by a Newcomer Spouse. The only remedy
for Natural Children against the "Black Widow" and "Grey Widow"
strategies is more Court Time, and that with only an abysmal
prognosis in outcome. Again, Judges do not consider
themselves bound by Statute, and the Statutes that exist were
typically written when a Surviving Spouse and a Natural Parent
were one and the same person, hardly the case today.
The current probability of divorce at five years duration is 65%
in new first marriages, and increases with duration.
Second and third marriages are even worse. Instead
of deterring the Newcomer Spouse from making spurious claims
upon Family Assets at Death and Divorce, BC Judges are now
waiving completely the time constraints for a "Long Marriage",
the duration of marriage necessary before Assets are divided
50/50. The explanation offered is that that the present
rapidity of Divorce following Marriage justifies giving a
Newcomer Spouse upon marriage an INSTANT 50% interest in the
Family Assets accrued by the Natural Parents and Grandparents.
Like the writers of
"WIDOW ON THE HILL" we consider this a profound insult
to the Grandparents and the Deceased Natural Parent whose work
and savings created the Family Assets for the Benefit of their
progeny (family). This is a strong deterrent against
saving for the financial security for your family and your
children's future and harmful to families. We believe the
Newcomer's absconding with the Family Assets with the
complacency of the Courts is tantamount to Grave-Robbing.
Less recognized is that the Natural Children
of the deceased Natural Parents, cannot contest the Claim of the
Newcomer Spouse on Family Assets unless they remain a part of
the Estate, and assets are no longer a part of the Estate once
once they have been "commingled" with the Newcomer Spouse in
marriage. On Marriage, the first half-interest transfers
immediately to the Newcomer Spouse. The remaining
half-interest transfers immediately to the Newcomer Spouse
upon the death of the remaining Natural Parent!
Consequently, ALL FAMILY ASSETS, more than likely, will be
handed over the Newcomer Spouse, disinheriting utterly the
Natural Children. We, like author
Stephen Harrigan,
find this deplorable.
