Estimating
the Cost of Contact for Non-resident Parents: A Budget Standards
Approach in PDF
From Paul Henman and Kyle Mitchell
Most Western countries have, for some time, provided income support
and/or taxation relief to parents with children in their care. The
significant amount of research into the costs of children to couple
and sole parent households has been important in assessing and developing
family support policies. Changing societal expectations about the
level of involvement of fathers in child rearing activities has
highlighted the need to understand the costs facing usually male
non-resident parents in having contact with their children. The
budget standards methodology is used in this paper to estimate the
costs for non-resident parents exercising regular contact with their
children.
Discrimination against Paying Parents and their Second Families
in Word Format
From
the Partners of Paying Parents (PoPPs)
Paying Parents and their second families are suffering critical
financial and relationship breakdown due to the inequities of current
Child Support Scheme (CSS) and Australian Family Law Legislation.
In numerous cases, Payers are unable to support their second families
due to excessive and unfair payments of Child Support, and many
of these second families not only suffer financial demise, but undergo
relationship breakdown as well.
Shared Parenting After Separation and Divorce a Review of Legislative
Developments Worldwide
From the Connacht Branch, National Men's Council of
Ireland
This document gathers together a selection of papers from other
Jurisdictions showing their approaches and legislative solutions
to this problem that all western societies have in common.
Of interest is how certain States in the USA, Canada and Sweden
have arrived at the same conclusions that National Men’s Council
of Ireland have been promoting for the past seven years. USA , Canada,
Australia and the UK have been experiencing the problems of devastated
and dismembered families in a much more widespread and severe form
for the past thirty years and we should both heed their trauma and
see what mistakes they feel they made. By doing that and addressing
the problems here in Ireland along similar lines, using their experiences
and insights, we could and should be able to avoid twenty five years
of pain and misery for our families in Ireland.

The Abuse Index: Who's Throwing Stuff and Who's Getting Hit By Sara
Vigneri
When it comes to real random acts of violence - for example, murder
and rape - it's men who are often guilty as charged. Only 12.6 percent
of murders last year were committed by women, often to settle some
personal score against somebody they knew well. But when it comes
to assault - kid whacking, spouse hitting - women are more likely
to be the bad guys. The media and the Ad Council may have helped
create the myth of the malevolent male, but this is how the hitters
really stack up.
What have we Learned from 30 Years of Research on Families in Divorce
Conflict?
The following is a summary of highlights of the text, Divorce Wars,
Interventions with Families in Conflict, (APA Books, 2000). The
text is a review of research in a number of key areas and is intended
as a reference work and manual for psychological experts in the
courtroom and the attorney who wishes to be knowledgeable regarding
the scientific literature in this field. The book also contains
case studies, guidelines for clinicians, charts and data tables,
as well as a complete bibliography. (The last two chapters, on ethical
dillemmas and future trends in the area of divorce and family law,
have not been reviewed here).
