Until truth, justice, compassion and common sense prevail more broadly and more consistently, a father facing exclusion from his children's lives must plan carefully, negotiate skillfully, and fight fiercely to assert and preserve natural rights and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms that most Americans take for granted.

Often, the obstacles of gender bias, judicial inconsistency, and public apathy separating a father and his children may seem insurmountable. Believe me when I tell you that they are not. Ten years ago, fathers routinely walked away from custody disputes. They felt they had no chance of winning. Since then thousands of men have stayed the course and built new lives for themselves and their children. And every time a disenfranchised father is able to reconnect with his children, it quickly becomes evident -- to the father, to the children, and to our society -- that the ultimate rewards of the father's quest far outweigh the heartaches and hardships endured along the way.
