SHOCK(ing)
TREATMENT - In Canada ... more of the hard facts!
Canada's woes mirror those in the USA ...
- Most of the increases in child support
go to provincial governments, not women or children.
- The biggest group of deadbeats is women, not men: fact is that there are twice as many women
non-custodial parents evading child support than men.
- 93% of female non-custodial parents don't pay any child support.
- Less than 9% of parents believe Canadian Courts deal effectively with
access.
- Canada is a pro-divorce, anti-marriage state.
- 70% of marriage breakup is done by women.
- The only group which benefits from an improved standard of living after
divorce is high-income women.
- The real reason why Finance Minister Paul Martin switched the taxation on
child support was to cover up a billion dollar income tax evasion problem.
- Proof that biased courts force men to pay up to 8.5 times the average of
women at the same income levels.
- Judges award high income women more child support than low income women, for
the same proportionate father income.
- Custody and access problems cost parents and society more than is paid in
child support.
- The higher the income, the greater the bias against men and the more
leniently women are treated in child support.
- The actual percentage of fathers not paying child support is between 7 and
13%.
- "Child Support Guidelines" are used by biased courts to sharply increase the
percentage of fathers shut out of children's lives.
- In the family, women statistically
are more abusive, particularly with weapons, than men.
- Most of the victims of domestic violence are male.
- Women who kill newborn babies
don't show up in domestic violence statistics.
- Sole mother custody is behind much of
children's problems.
- The father is sociologically more essential for successful
children than the mother.
- Unequal pay for equal work: single custodial fathers average only CN$6-7 per month in child support -- about 2% of the average custodial mother.
- A rising rate of mental illness in separated women is causing child abuse
and custody and access conflicts.
- Canada's Supreme Court stated public ally
that women win in family court because of their gender, not by "merit".
- Single mother broken families are the engine which produces most criminals,
suicides, unmarried teen pregnancies, rapists, school dropouts and drug abuse.
With respect to Child Support, Divorce,
Custody, Access & Government Policies -- thinking men and women will
challenge the opportunistic stereotypes and rigid ideologies dominating this
policy area with: statistical data, fair gender-based analysis, and an
honest assessment of what works versus what does not
!
The clock of the "long now"
is ticking ... Help to reunite fathers with their children! All that was
given is not lost... -ed..
