'No-fault' divorce: moms vs. dads
Matt C. Abbott
Veteran Catholic journalist Phil Lawler of CatholicCulture.org recently posted a commentary about Stephen Baskerville's book Taken Into Custody. Phil writes (excerpted; click here to see the entire commentary):
- Taken Into Custody ... is a revealing, frightening book about (as the subtitle puts it) 'the war against fatherhood, marriage, and the family.' The author explains how, in response to the urgings of feminists that women must be protected, the courts have turned against fathers. A married man can be taken from his own home, ordered to stay away from his own children, compelled to pay expenses that he cannot control, slapped with a restraining order — all without any plausible evidence that he has done anything wrong!
