Good mothers should not lose custody of their children. The court systems in Massachusetts should not grant full custody of their children to fathers if their mothers have demonstrated to be good mothers to their children.
Why is this important?
This petition is about the good mothers who are losing full custody of their children in Massachusetts courts due to their lacking funds to continue custody battles. Many more affluent fathers win custody of their children because the way the courts in Massachusetts are operating. The longer you last in the custody battle at the courts, the more likely you will get custody of your child. Also, many abusive fathers tend to fight for custody of their children to punish mothers who had enough of the abuse. According to current statistics, if the father has the economic means and the mother doesn't, the probability for the father gaining custody is 70% greater than that of the mother.
