Fathers Rights?

I had the luxury of eaves dropping on 2 women both done up very nicely talking about their job. They simply go to court every 3 months and get a pay increase! Interested in how they do it? Easy they abuse the system and take advantage of the courts seeming need to ignore fathers rights. Previously I mentioned how fathers rights is pretty much a non-existing phenomena. I was very incorrect based on the conversation, the fathers rights are a true fact and apparently include paying for a household which they do not dwell in. Unfair you say? Would it be fair if those 2 women couldn't commit blatant fraud? One of the women lives with someone who I believe I overheard owns 3 plumbing businesses? The other has a boyfriend in jail who is doing time for distribution of crack and something else I missed. She collects the money from his posse and just has to visit him, her childs father works 2 fulltime jobs and pays $1,600. Pretty funny right? The way she was laughing she atleast found it hillarious!
Fathers rights do exsist, I was wrong! Some are extremists on either side of the child custody argument. Fathers rights should be, but are not more of a hot topic especially with so many children born out of wedlock. When I go to court I do not see many verdicts going with" dad" though, even when I see women chewing gum and rolling their eyes when the dads describe a change in their living situation. I remember one couple where the father looked very sharp minus the fact he had a few holes, very scuffed shoes, and asked for a reduction in almost a whisper because he was embarrassed in having a court room hear his story! Talk about humbling, and" Goldy Locks" (she looked like a million bucks, literally flawless) laughed at him. I wanted to scream" Hey Judge, isn't there suppose to be some respect in your court room?". The lady didn't even get a look from the" Honor" (that term is used EXTREMELY loosely). When asked if she was OK with it ( is it not the judges job to judge a situation? Does anyone else hear the whip sound women have over the "justice system" {I still chuckle everytime I hear that}) she literally yelled absolutely not. Guess why, well actually your guess would be as good as mine. Why, after all I was there paying close attention. Easy, she wasn't asked for her reasoning!
Fathers rights are a topic that needs tto be adresses and courts should cease in acting as if they are the sheepish lion when women are involved. I am not trying to put women down as I highly respect single mothers, but rather am severly bothered by the abuse of the system and paying for cowards in robes. Fathers rights need to exsist if our country is as diverse and fair as it attempts to portray itself.
