The reason everything is so messed up is that men are not considered necessary in the family. Fathers have tremendous responsibilities, but not rights. When a couple gets divorced, the kids are almost always awarded to the wife, and the man is kicked out of his own home. The way to remedy this is to make divorces almost impossible to get, if there are children involved. When there is a divorce, then the father should get custody of the children. This would cut down on broken homes greatly.

We should also stop the forced child support from men that were not married to the mother of their child. Unless there was a marriage, or contract of some sort, these bastard children are not the financial responsibility of the male whose sperm was deposited in the female. The concept of "deadbeat dad" must be eliminated. If private charities, the mother's family, or individuals want to adopt or contribute to the welfare of illegitimate children, that's fine - but the fathers and the public should not be forced to support them.
