The Secret Of Child Support Has Been Revealed Now

With the rise of the number of divorces in recent times, it is quite common to find couples fighting bitterly over child custody. Needless to say, the entire process of battling is intensely traumatic for both parties, especially the children involved. Decisions like who the children shall stay with and the visiting time given to the other parent to visit his or her own children are not just difficult to make but are also emotionally trying. Ultimately, one parent always ends up as the veritable visiting guardian to the children. However, with time, the notion of child custody has gone through a number of changes.

The idea of child custody, just like many other issues, had patriarchal overtones to it right up to the middle of the19th century. It was universally believed then that only fathers could be a true parent to a child. This view could not, probably, be countered, because the impression of women being the quintessential “single mothers” had not yet emerged. But with the turn of the century, common perceptions changed, thanks to the intense female empowerment and emancipation movements. Soon, with fathers spending more and more time out of doors working for livelihoods, mothers were considered to be the more caring and responsible parent.

This has a different effect as well. Soon the fathers began to protest against this maternal bias and believed that they were being unnecessarily being excluded from the lives of their own children, through no fault of their own. They wanted custody of their own children as well. They argued that it was unfair to idealize the maternal love as all powerful and all encompassing. It was generally felt that custody should not be awarded on the basis of gender, but the intrinsic attributes of an individual, like his/her sense of responsibility, duty and so on.

Again, the legislative history of child custody took a different turn in the late years of the 20th century. As with everything after the Great War, marital and post marital legislations underwent a change. Until now, child custody had been solely a gender based issue. But now, the concept of joint child custody came into the forefront. This was where both the parents had a share in the development of their own child. Again, there are two kinds o child custody. One is physical custody where a parent has carte blanch over the living arrangements of the children. The other type is legal custody where the parent gets to take important decisions regarding the life and development of the child.

Now, for obvious reasons of convenience, judicial records have attached more importance to shared legal child custody over physical custody. However, it is important to realize that these matters are indicative of a general trend which has undergone a change. In matters of child custody, fathers ultimately are receiving the short end of the straw as of now. Unfortunately, women still get the lion’s share when it comes to it. As a result, men are now resorting to various legal and other socio-political measures that will enable this bias to be destroyed for once and for all.
