Default Coparenting and father's rights groups

ups.com...
I wanted to reccomend a coparentng site aimed at equality for all
parents. It's brand new and features a children's art gallery, photo
gallery, forum, and helpful links to many different support groups.
www.freewebs.coparentsunited and also the site www.iowafathers.com


I applaud your efforts. However, what's up with "Grandparent legislation
affording access to their grandchildren"? Grandparents have no rights to
grandchildren. The decision whether or not to allow a grandparent visitation
belongs solely to the parents. But if grandparents aqcuire visitation
rights, then it follows that they should have to pay "child support" just as
a father has to pay for the right to visit. Bear in mind, however, that just
because they pay they don't automatically get the right to see the children,
just as it is for the father.

Also mentioned is "the awarding of joint physical care". With all due
respect, what's WRONG with you? Either you believe that a child belongs to
the father as well as the mother which makes such award redundant; or you
believe that the child belongs solely to the mother thus making such award
immoral. Which is it?
