We here at Fathers Supporting Fathers of Florida are here to
support and help guide fathers through the hard times associated with fathers
rights and to help make changes in the laws of Florida to help get more rights
to fathers. We truly believe in EQUAL PARENTING. Every child deserves the right
to have a father and every father deserves the right to be just as involved in
their child’s life as the mother does. We are here to see the best interest of
the child and their rights.
DEDICATED TO FATHERS RIGHTS
Chad Gist - National President of FSFMy name is Chad Gist and I am the president of Fathers Supporting Fathers. I am married with three children; Tyler, Ashleigh and Hailey. I have been involved in the father’s rights movement since 2007 and am still fighting to this day for my God given right to be a father to my daughter Hailey. As a co-founder of Fathers Supporting Fathers it is my mission to see this organization helps other fathers cope with the situations which arise as legal battles persists to maintain their rights as fathers. My goal as president is to push to get the laws changed that not only give fathers rights they deserve but give children equal time with both parents, if both parents are fit. I have made several trips to Washington DC to bring awareness to the laws that need to be changed in order to protect father’s rights and I will continue to do so until children have the equal time with both parents they deserve. 
WILLIAM DUNN - FSF FLA. PRESIDENTMy name is William Dunn. I am the FL president of Fathers Supporting Fathers. The main reason I am in this movement is to help fathers through difficult times and share my testimony of how god has brought me through the most difficult time in my life. After never giving up on my daughter I now have had full custody of her for the past three years. Fathers should have equal rights and that is what we stand for. I am in the process of writing my first book about my journey of just trying to be a part of my daughters life. The title of the book will be A Fathers Miracle.
Margie Blackburn -Kansas CityFathers Supporting Fathers/Grandparents 4 Justice
Becoming an advocate for grandparents rights was an easy choice – after standing in a retail store one day, when an overwhelming crying spell broadsided me - not seeing my grandson for so many years, and now my granddaughter, it hit me hard that day….some stranger came up and asked me what was wrong. I explained the situation through sobs and got some support, some hugs…then one of the grandmothers giving advice made a statement…”Better get used to it honey, cause there is nothing you can do.” I remember thinking what do you mean there is nothing I can do??
So during my research and helping others I realized VERY SOON that the courts were biased against father’s rights much less grandparents. As my own son fought this custody battle; I have seen firsthand how the courts work against the fathers rights, against children’s rights….how parental alienation is child abuse….how the system is abused by so many for the almighty dollar.
So I started to work with Fathers Supporting Fathers and developed Grandparents 4 Justice as there are so many grandparents who don’t know what to do or how to make it through the day dealing with our children fighting for our grandchildren.
I refuse to give up! It is about the children!

It's human nature to seek out a partner in life, and to possibly marry and have children. Unfortunately the matrimonial establishment, as we are all aware, is being methodically torn down by a demoralized society. Sadly the divorce rate is still on the rise and the foundation of marriage is being devalued and is crumbling. As adults we learn to adapt and move on when divorce attacks our lives but for children this is another story. They are the real victims of divorce and unfortunately they will suffer dearly from our selfishness and in most cases follow the same path of destruction if not worse.
ReplyDeleteAs a nation we have been granted certain civil rights by our constitution. Through the years it has been amended to better the lives of many Americans. The two most notable changes have come to Women in the 1920s and with African Americans in the 1960s. These rights were long overdue for both segments of our nation but thankfully we realized our mistakes and corrected them. This was not an easy journey for either of these crusades but through dedication and perseverance the bells of liberty rang loudly and victory was achieved.
Unfortunately we have reached yet another fork in the road and with that comes another challenge to the American people. "We've worked hard for women's rights, but we have to watch out that the pendulum doesn't swing the other way" says Ruthie J. of the Reach FM. Ironically the pendulum has already swung far to one side and this time the male gender is being demonized by erroneous and fraudulent information. Males are being portrayed as callus, uncaring, and without emotion. We are being taught that men represent 95% of abuse in this nation against women. These and many other false statistics are being recklessly strewn throughout society and none of it is true. Yes, women are being abused by men that is a fact. striking a woman is abhorrent to the highest degree and should be dealt with appropriately but men are abused at an equal rate and they are being ignored. According to a study by the Center for Disease Control men represent 38% of domestic violence related injuries. Compound that with the fact that only 0.9% of men report abuse verses 8.5% of women and I think we have a pretty equal degree of violence between partners.
The cornerstone of this "abuse" is VAWA the Violence Against Women Act. It was passed into law by Bill Clinton in 1994 and has been extended by every subsequent President. This law funnels Billions of dollars into discriminatory education and propaganda that violates men's civil rights. Many times DVIs or Domestic Violence Injunctions are used as a tool in divorce, child custody or just vengeance against a partner, most often against males. This is because the system of acquiring a DVI is simple and requires no evidence, witnesses or prior police reports. Just the word of an alleged victim making a claim of abuse. The repercussions of these orders are devastating and many times result in a violation, arrest and complete destruction of one's life. Even in cases when they are dismissed, a serious blemish remains on the falsely accused forever; how does that look to potential employers who almost always perform background checks prior to employment? This must be stopped and a better system of protecting all victims of domestic violence should be put in place.
I hope to help bring awareness to gender discrimination and help provide support for men who are abused. There are programs to help women of abuse but nothing for men. My website will provide more information on the facts, my personal experiences and the stories of those who have been victims of this heinous tactic of relationship vengeance. Men and women should truly have equal rights and currently the scales are unjustly tilted. Let's work together to end domestic violence and not vilify one gender as inherently abusive. "United we stand, divided we fall" A powerful statement that we must never forget.
Thank you,

While I applaud columnist Paul Flemming for a sound review of the issues in Saturday’s “Alimony bill will be great — for lawyers,” his bottom-line conclusion is dead wrong.
The proposed state alimony reform bill will reduce litigation, not increase litigation. A bit of history: For years, the divorce vultures (a.k.a., the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar) have conned the Florida Legislature into writing divorce legislation that maximizes litigation and thus maximizes their income. In part, they have accomplished this by maximizing judicial discretion, which in practice means endless conflict and, of course, endless paid litigation.
No matter what they may say, the divorce vultures are interested only in one thing — maximizing their income.
I can irrefutably demonstrate this point with Flemming’s own words: “Thomas Duggar, an attorney in Tallahassee and a member of the Florida Bar’s Family Law Section, said last week at a Tallahassee Bar Association meeting that the section has a $100,000 war chest to sway public opinion against the legislation.”
Do your readers honestly believe they are spending all this money so they will lose income? The divorce vultures get the message in terms of what alimony reform will cost them — and save the children, fathers and mothers of divorce. I regret Mr. Flemming did not do the same.
Full Disclosure: I am an alimony-paying divorced father of two young adult daughters and retired university divorce researcher with multiple research and scholarly publications on this topic
