Joint custody
Give kids of divorce what's best
By KENNETH BRASWELL and ROXANNE WRIGHT

Times Union - Perspective
For as long as there have been separations
and divorces, there have been issues of child custody. When the family
unit is intact, the issue of who spends what amount of time with the
children is usually one of mutual agreement or circumstance. It is only
when there is a parting of the ways that this becomes an issue of (often
heated) debate. With the divorce rate continuing to skyrocket, the issue
of how much time each parent is legally entitled to spend with his or her
child is one that is more and more common.

Fathers are critical to the success of
families
I wanted to thank the Times Union for the recent article, "A show of
support for new dads" by Rick Karlin, for the early Father's Day gift. The
response has been tremendous and now the need is crystal clear.
The role and responsibility of fathers relative to the successful
functioning of a family is pivotal and cannot be overemphasized. In
addition, system impacts on fatherhood are as much to blame for our social
ills, as we are as individuals. Our economy, government, education,
criminal justice, environment and health all equally impact the atmosphere
that creates unstable families. In turn, these attributes contribute to
unstable communities.
Fathers Inc. is dedicated to strengthening the community and family
infrastructure by encouraging and enabling the positive involvement of
fathers in the lives of their children. We wholeheartedly recognize the
incredible contributions, dedication and struggles of mothers and other
caretakers on behalf of children.
The response received from the Feb. 1 article was a great boost to
beginning and continuing a much-needed community service. A service that
will benefit our society, communities and families for generations to
come.
