Also here's a great book that helps you find practical solutions to over 40 issues such as health care for the children, relocating, holidays, modifying an existing agreement, minimizing conflict..... This book contains fill-in-the-blank-forms for deciding issues such as "what religion the child will be taught", "who pays for the dentist", "what happens when/if Mom moves in with a boyfriend", etc. ? These forms are great guidelines for deciding major issues in advance of court proceedings and that will save you time and money and heartache !
Child Custody: Building Agreements That Work
When I tried to find a KY support group a couple of years ago, I called a Father's Rights group in California. The young man I spoke to, searched his data base for KY groups. I expressed my concern that Kentucky fathers had little or no hope of rescuing their children from a life with no dad in the picture. The young man was scanning his list of national support groups while I talked. He laughed and said, "No wonder KY men are not making any progress ! There are only two phone numbers for KY support groups". He went on to say, "If Kentuckians would form more groups and become active in the quest for equal rights for Dads, then you'd see a change !" Most other states have many active groups that are making a difference in Father's Rights, by seeking ways to change laws and educate the public.
God, Grant me the Serentity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can... and the Wisdom to know the difference...

LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY ?
There are many of these attorneys out there. I've talked to some that couldn't understand why a father would want to do the things I've mentioned above. In my observations, the majority of these (men) were over 50 years old. When (if) they had children in their home, men brought home the pay check and the women fed the babies. Younger attorneys, however, are men and women who have probably participated in the nurturing of their own children or experienced upbringing by both parents. It is important to get to know your attorney prior to hiring him/her. Ask questions. Check references. I'm sure there are some good attorneys out there, older ones and younger ones. This person's attitude could affect the outcome of your child's life !
A great site with information regarding custody and divorce is Divorcesource.
The FORCE Hotline number is 606-736-3735. This is a pager number and the Lexington group tries to return all calls within 24 hrs.
Kentuckians need to join the growing national force of people striving to promote (when possible), custody equality. An excellent source of national information is American Fathers Coalition
MY MOTTO IS "THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE !"

While this KCE page loads, you are probably hearing the melody of "Yesterday", by the Beatles. This song is dedicated "John K.", a 1960's friend who had to grow up without his Dad in the home due to circumstances beyond John's control.
