Paper Summary:

An examination of the literature which deals with divorce and single parenting. The writer shows that most of this literature is written from a female perspective. This paper analyzes the male perspective. It shows how men are misrepresented in the court system and how few single-parent families are headed by the father. The writer discusses what changes need to be made in the judicial and welfare systems.

From the Paper:

"Consider the comment below, made by a participant in a support group for non-custodial fathers in Toronto, Canada: There is a wide perception that we aren't important, that we have a small role to play in our children's lives. In the legal system, we're treated like enemies. On television, we're bumbling fools like Homer Simpson. Few people take us seriously (Leving & Kenick, 1999). "
