On the subject of father's rights, NPR had a story this monring about a state (I don't remember which, but think it was in the NE) that is looking at a law which would allow fathers to decrease their child support if they took more responsibility in the raising of the child.
The overly simplistic argument is that if the dad has the child half of the time (let's say every other week) -- rather than every other weekend -- why should he pay as much as the weekend dad?
A number of states are supposed to be looking at this kind of bill.
