By qualifying fathers for the same equal rights as mothers, this will first, reduce the number of single parent families…
…next it will encourage separated or divorced parents to be more mutual for the sake of the child.

These
children become, positive,
motivated, responsible and
productive individuals.
Most single parent children grow up faster than they should given the circumstances of living in poverty, other younger siblings they become forced to watch, protect or even raise while their mother either works or goes out, and eventually grow up emotionally angered due to their economical disadvantage.

Most father-child relationships impact their child’s well-being, sense of security, child’s outcome, educational achievement, cognitive ability, and social behavior.
Children without fathers tend to seek this bond elsewhere, leaving an empty space that should’ve been filled. The son seeks a father’s guidance from other male role models in his life, and the daughter seeks it from males she gets involved in both can get hurt when their expectations are not met they way wanted them
to be.

Let’s add, make or change laws to give fathers their fighting chance for equal rights to raise their children.
