Single fathers and the communication industry

Diane A. Sears has been chosen to be a panelist for the “Social Entrepreneurship, the New Media, and the Single Father Movement” panel at the 97th annual Eastern Communication Association's conference on April 28 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Diane is the author of a great book, one I highly recommend, called IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES.

Equal Parenting is "AN INEVITABILITY"

Equal Parenting is "AN INEVITABILITY" according to the Australian parenting group Fathers4Equality. Currently, the government is in the process of debating the recently introduced Family Law Amendment Bill, a commendable bill that is intended to usher in a new era of equal parenting arrangements. As part of this process, Fathers4Equality has recently presented its well researched submission on the benefits of equal parenting to children of separated families, entitled "Parents are Forever...even if marriages are not" to the Senate Hearing on the provisions of the Family Law Amendment. "The benefits of equal parenting are well accepted and have been repeatedly demonstrated in very credible research" says Ash Patil, President of Fathers4Equality. You can read more HERE.

What's love got to do with it?

You might find this article on equality in marriage interesting. I was happy to read this:

"...court decisions regarding child custody and property division should take into consideration the responsibility that each spouse bears for the divorce. As a matter of simple justice, innocent spouses who do not wish to divorce should not lose primary custody of their children or primary control of their property."

National Review Online editor Kathryn Lopez talked to one of those professors about "What's Love Got to do With it? Equality, Equity, Commitment and Women's Marital Quality." W. Bradford Wilcox is a resident fellow at the Institute for American Values and an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Virginia.
