Yesterday, July 6, 2008 Parade Magazine ran a brief blurb about whether family courts discriminate against fathers in custody cases. Parade magazine is distributed in millions of papers across the country on Sundays.
More importantly, the magazine initiated a poll asking 'Should Divorced Dads Get Equal Time With Their Kids?' Through late Sunday evening the numbers were coming in at a 2 to 1 ratio supporting the statement. As of several minutes ago the margin had narrowed to 51% to 49% in favor of the statement.
Perhaps this is a 'normal' vote swing, however it appears unlikely given the constancy of favorable opinion throughout Sunday. We are asking you to visit the link below and cast your vote.
