In conclusion, claims of justice in family courts when deciding custody are highly questionable and doubtable. One doubts what justice lies in the use of personal belief and experiences instead of competence as many judges and evaluators do by basing judgment on their own stereotypical beliefs. Sadly, it can be noted that all of such deliberate inaccuracies do not only favour the mother in determining who gets primary custody but also hinder the other contender’s visiting rights. Utmost, visiting rights are awarded in such a way that they suit the primary custodian (who in this case is usually the mother) indicating that all preference goes to the ‘winner’, the mother and the ‘loser’, the father. These unjust privileges awarded to mothers often see men being completely shut out of their children’s lives at the will of the mother. All in all, family courts should stop the dirty act of gender prejudice and instead promote justice between men and women via fair and considerate custody decisions.

Writer Profile
Joseph-Peter
A wise man once told me that there are only two best weapons that you can have in this world: a pen and your mouth. The good thing about these two weapons is that they don't run out of ammunition, unless you decide to stop firing. That ammunition is words.
I am a person who is vocal but I have come to know that when I write about something, I write it with total consideration and commitment, more so than I do when talking. I have a passion for writting. I believe that scripts are capable of changing lives of many - including the author.
I trust in words and as long as I play with them in the right way, they are able to get me either into or out of any situation.
Let words battle it out for you.
