The Idea

Here's my idea start a group that's there to advocate single fathers, help them out.
lawyer fees are almost out of reach for most single fathers, especially young ones the laws are set up for men, who have full time jobs and are done with school and book expenses.
i think allot of these laws need revised furthermore allot of people see the disadvantages of not having a male role model but rarely are fathers counseled on how to be one, i know cause ever one, and i mean everyone told me to run, join the army and get out of town...and i didn't i stayed and i have been battling it out one swing at a time. she gets More help them me, it just makes me more driven, but i know a lot of men who would run and have ran. can you blame them? after paying your child support i have 50% of my paycheck gone that means i get paid once a month then i have to live on that...that means gas food insurance( me and my son) and a lawyer. if you have ever paid for a lawyer you know that's not possible,but i want to get a group of lawyers together that will do the custody battles for a pay over time, or at least make a list of good lawyers(it took me 4 lawyers before i could get one to do something reasonable) this will all take a lot of time but with most programs worth having, they have to start somewhere with someone. I'm laying the ground work please feel free to suggest what i should do to make it better, i need all the help i can get.

So as a single Teenage father i realised that there are no programs (in my area) to help me. The girl who lied to me, and is now the mother of my child on the other hand gets free college, $400 child support, promise jobs ($800 weather she works or not) plus 40hrs of daycare, on top of all that a house and free food. So what dose she do with all of this? she buys movies sits at home and lets day care take care of my son while she sits at home watching movies.....now me being a hard working class guy i have 3 jobs in the summer and 2 in the winter, plus school. and because i made so much the first year of my sons life, i now have to work all those jobs and fork over 50% of my paycheck during the winter (3rd job was taken so i could pay off dept in summer and try to save up for a lawyer) i guess I'm ranting but i need to get it out I'm so sick of this push for single mothers and a blatant disregard for the fathers, were not all dead beats! 97% of fathers pay their child support, the remaining 3% is all you ever hear about. You never get the story of a 19 year old kid trying to save up for a lawyer go to school and keep a GPA high enough to stay in college, all the while getting screwed constantly by his baby's mom. you never see that she has money and a father who gives her anything she wants anyway, and really doesn't need to be on welfare. you don't see the 20 year old kid who has no dad, is helping to support his mom , and other brothers (one who's going to school to be a doctor and cant work and study and he goes to school year round the other is skit so frantic+bipolar) its so frustrating.
i wouldn't be this bad off but my mother took 2 years off of work to take care of my grandfather who came down with cancer, and I'm not mad at her at all. he was a good man and he deserved to be taken care of in his final hours...his last words to me were "I'm proud of you, you take care of this family....your the only one strong enough" that's a fairly long post to start off with but id like some feed back to see what other people think..I'm going to school to be a psychologist and my goal is to eventually start a organization that helps single fathers, to actually get custody rights, to counsel them that they can stay around and they do make a difference.
