Blogger Won Hero Dad Contest.

Congratulations to Robert Pedersen of DaddyBlogger for winning runner-up in Best Life Magazine’s national Hero Dad contest!

Michigan’s custody laws give Robert Pedersen just 6-8 days per month with his two children from a previous marriage. Driven by the painful separation from his family, Robert created the website A Child’s Right (www.achildsright.net) — proactively advocating EQUAL parenting rights by BOTH fit parents. Robert also volunteers his time to numerous children rights’ organizations while maintaining a political stance with representatives across the state and at the federal level. This August, Robert will bike 600 miles from Lansing, MI to Washington, D.C. to help raise awareness and generate mass media attention in support of equal parenting rights.

If you follow the bestlifeonline.com link & scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a “Congratulations to all of the amazing fathers who were nominated:” section. One of the names in the list jumped out at me — “JENNIFER NEWMAN”. I’d love to hear the story behind that one.

It’s clear to everyone I’ve ever – EVER – met that custody and rights hearings (and earnings hearings, in this supposedly equal society) without a modicum of doubt of fair trial favor women. I’m not remotely presenting a bias, just my experience from what I’ve heard from over a half dozen cases.
