As we approach Father’s Day this Sunday, I think it is necessary to once again draw attention to what has become one of America’s greatest problems: the dearth of masculine leadership in the home.
As everyone universally acknowledges, there are more children being raised by single mothers today than at any time in our nation’s history. Obviously, divorce is far and away the biggest contributor to this unfortunate phenomenon. But another factor is that many women are choosing to have children out of wedlock. And, of course, a small percentage of single mothers became this way due to the premature deaths of their husbands. But it is safe to say that the vast majority of fatherless families are the result of choice, not circumstance.
The ramifications of raising children without a father are taking a toll, not only on children, but also on society itself. According to published reports, 63% of teen suicides come from fatherless homes, 90% of all runaways and homeless children come from fatherless homes, 80% of rapists come from fatherless homes, 85% of children with behavioral problems come from fatherless homes, 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes, 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes, and 85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes. See the following sources for these (and related) stats:

If you are unable to make your mortgage payment:
1. Don’t ignore the problem.
The further behind you become, the harder it will be to reinstate your loan and the more likely that you will lose your house.
2. Contact your lender as soon as you realize that you have a problem. Lenders do not want your house. They have options to help borrowers through difficult financial times, and there are a variety of programs available that may be able to provide assistance. For example, the Ohio Department of Development offers theOhio Home Rescue Fund.
3. Open and respond to all mail from your lender. The first notices you receive will offer good information about foreclosure prevention options that can help you weather financial problems. Later mail may include important notice of pending legal action. Your failure to open the mail will not be an excuse in foreclosure court.
The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) has recently revised “The Bounds of Advocacy,” a publication which sets forth goals for ethical conduct in the practice of family and divorce law. Existing codes often fail to provide adequate guidance to lawyers. Family law disputes occur in a volatile and emotional environment, and parties in matrimonial disputes often need to interact for years to come. Potential harm to the children is a significant problem for which ethical guidance is also needed.
The new “Bounds” contains sections on competence and advice, communication and decision-making responsibility, conflicts of interest, fees, client conduct, children, professional cooperation, and the attorney as mediator or arbitrator. It incorporates most of the material in the earlier version, published in 1991, while expanding and fine-tuning certain areas based on recent developments in divorce and family law.

Washington D.C. — This Mother’s Day, the National Foster Care Month Partnership pays tribute to the legions of women who parent our nation’s most vulnerable youth, while sending out an urgent call for more individuals and families to step-up and help to change a lifetime for a child or youth in foster care. Following up on a week of activities in Washington, D.C. that kicked off National Foster Care Month, the Partnership highlights the need for more foster and adoptive parents throughout the nation.
Currently, there are only 137,000 licensed foster families in the United States, with nearly 500,000 children in foster care. For those fortunate enough to be living with a family, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to say “thank you” to the kind and compassionate women who lovingly parent them. However, for the thousands of children, teens and young adults who have no caring, committed mom in their lives, Mother’s Day is a cruel reminder of the painful void in their lives.
The most pressing need lies in recruiting families from all walks of life to foster, adopt, or mentor older youth. This year alone, 26,000 young people will age out of the child welfare system without a family or a caring adult who is committed to being a lasting presence in their lives. Too many of these young adults, facing life’s challenges alone, experience homelessness, poor or no education, incarceration, and addiction.
Washington D.C. – Today there are nearly 500,000 children and youth in America’s foster care system. As the economy has worsened, reports of abuse and neglect have increased in some areas of the country and are expected to rise. Of the 26,000 young people who age out of foster care each year, many end up facing life’s challenges alone without the support and education they need to compete in the workplace. In this economy, they are more likely than ever to endure homelessness, poverty, compromised health, unemployment, incarceration and other adversities.
Each May, National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to focus public attention on the plight and potential of children in foster care as well as teens aging out. The child welfare community is calling on every citizen to do something positive that will change a lifetime for a child or young adult in foster care — as foster parents, volunteers, mentors, employers or in other ways.
If nothing changes in the United States between now and the year 2020:
Nearly 11 million children confirmed cases of abuse and neglect will be reported;
8,000 children will die of abuse or neglect;
7.2 million children will experience the foster care system;
240,000 youth will age out of foster care with inadequate support and resources to compete in the workforce and build successful lives.
Parental Alienation Day is one holiday that no one wants to celebrate. For many the name stirs a mild curiosity. For others, a searing pain that cuts through their very soul.
Mike Jeffries said it best on Basil & Spice when he wrote, “You won’t find an e-card that says, “Happy Parental Alienation Day.’ However if more people know why parents alienate a child from the child’s other parent, and how damaging these behaviors are to the child, then more people can help address the problem. Awareness and education are the first steps towards change.” See Parental alienation information and support.
How common is parental alienation? Four out of every 10 children whose parents don’t live together haven’t seen their fathers in over a year. See Why is there a fathers rights movement?.From our law office in Westerville, Ohio, Jesse R.

The Kids’ Bill of Rights
1. Just because you’re mad at the other parent, don’t take it out on me!
2. Please don’t say mean things about the other parent to me! They are my parent, and I still love them!
Each year, over 1 million American children suffer the divorce of their parents; moreover, half of the children born this year to parents who are married will see their parents divorce before they turn 18. Mounting evidence in social science journals demonstrates that the devastating physical, emotional, and financial effects that divorce is having on these children will last well into adulthood and affect future generations. Among these broad and damaging effects are the following:
