Nationwide boycott of family courts on June 18
AIMWA is organizing a Nationwide Boycott of the Family Courts on 18 June 2010 - the Friday before Fathers' Day - as a sign of protest against the Family Court system which blatantly discriminates against fathers.
ALL INDIA Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA) is an organization formed to protect the Constitutional and Human Rights of men and boys. We fight against gender discrimination, legal terrorism and every other form of abuse suffered by men and boys. Indian Family Courts have declared a war against fathers and are adopting every possible means to create a “Fatherless Society”. The modus operandi of the Family Courts includes: Depriving fathers of the right to love and care for their biological children.
Forcing fathers to pay huge sums of money to support children they are not allowed to see.
Encouraging false allegations of abuse to paint fathers as unfit parents.
Permitting multiple legal battles by mothers to eliminate biological fathers from their children’s lives.
Passing ex-parte orders based solely on the allegations made by a child’s mother.
Allowing mothers to brazenly disobey visitation orders without legal repercussions to her.
Allowing biological fathers to be labelled “kidnappers” for trying to make contact with their own children.
Prolonging custody/visitation matters for years, thereby driving fathers into financial and emotional bankruptcy and forcing them to give up the desire to see their children.
It is time everyone recognizes that - denying access to one’s own biological children is abuse of human rights. - depriving children of the love and care of their biological father is abuse of children’s rights. AIMWA hereby registers its vehement protest against the separation of fathers from their biological children, and the concomitant violation of Human Rights perpetrated by the Family Court system against fathers and children. AIMWA shall continue to agitate against the Family Court system until the following demands are met: Special fast-track courts should be set up at the earliest to deal with custody issues.
Exclusive, fully functioning Divisional Bench should be set up in all High Courts and Supreme Court to hear appeals in matters of child custody.
When a person or couple approaches court for divorce, counseling of the parents by professional counselors should be given first priority.
Except in extreme cases of violence or unhealthy behavior by either partner, children should be given equal and meaningful access to both parents and grandparents on both sides.
Both parents should be given financial responsibility of the child proportionate to their earnings and not based on demands made by either partner.
If a partner prevents a child from having equal and meaningful contact with the other partner, they should be counseled first to understand the importance of equal parenting and the best interest of a child.
If either partner repeatedly disobeys orders of equal access and meaningful contact with children, then the children should be placed in the full custody of the partner who will allow equal access to the other parent.
AIMWA hereby calls upon all fathers to - Join our Nationwide Boycott of Family Courts on 18 June 2010 as a symbol of protest against the creation of a fatherless society! - Sign our Petition listing out the changes we demand from the Family Court system in child custody matters! - Refuse to pay maintenance and child support unless the aforementioned demands are met! - Settle for nothing less than free and fair access to their children and an equal opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with their children!

"When a person or couple approaches court for divorce, counseling of the parents by professional counselors should be given first priority." - This is something that really needs a lot of attention, whether for divorce or child matter. The kind of counselors allocated do not belong to this generataion. They are very conservative, hold impressions that women who come forward for a divorce are bad and very judgemental in their approach. They do not record facts, do not empathaize nor are they neutral. There is lot of apathy and discrimination or there is no real involvement for the good of the couple being sent to them. This is purely a personal experience.
Even situations where there is no money request involved, there is perfect clarity of harassment, cruelty and purposeful delay of proceedings, the judicial system does not take any action and state that unless there is mutual consent their hands are "tied"! If there was mutual consent, the marrige would not breakdown in the first place, there would not be allegations nor would there be such emotional pain! I feel there is a balance between men and women who are right and wrong.... There are genuine people in both genders and it is this set of genuine people who suffer the most! Why is our system like this?
If there is a case of cruelty after marriage, how is one expected to prove it 7-8yrs after the incident? Are we expected to have hidden cameras to be on safe side, just in case something goes wrong???? How is the system expecting us to prove emotional pain????
I STRONGLY SUPPORT ITS VERY TRUE SOCIETY ALWAYS THINKS ITS THE FATHERS FALUT AND AS SOON AS THERE ARE SOME CROC TEAS RUNNING DOWN EVRYBODY THINKS MUM IS RIGHT AND FATHER IS WRONG
Khap panchayat system is far better than these
Family Courts in terms of quickness, transparency & fairness.
