A shared commitment
I believe children deserve meaningful relationships with both fit, loving parents.
I believe mothers matter.
I believe fathers matter.
I believe separation or divorce should end a relationship between adults, not unnecessarily destroy a child's relationship with a parent.
I believe children should never be used as leverage, punishment, or bargaining chips.
I believe abuse must be taken seriously and investigated fairly.
I believe allegations should be evaluated by evidence and due process.
I believe fit parents should be treated as parents, not visitors.
I believe family courts and the professionals who influence families should be accountable for decisions that affect children's lives.
I believe parenting rights come with parenting responsibilities.
I believe family unity should be preserved whenever it is safe and healthy for the child.
I stand for children, families, equal parenting, and the principle that Fathers Are Parents.
