Why don't "father's rights" activist actively support and lobby for joint physical custody both in divorce and never married situations?

This will be the umpteenth time that you have attempted to insert into this thread the false notion that fathers' rights groups do not lobby in favor of joint custody.

Last time I sent you a link to a prominent father's rights group that is doing exactly that. This time I will quote from the Dallas Observer:

The National Organization for Women (NOW) issued an "Action Alert on Fathers' Rights" to its state and local chapters in 1996. "These fathers' groups are fulfilling their objectives forming political alliances with conservative Republicans by working for the adoption of legislation such as the presumption of joint custody," NOW warned. "The success of these groups will be harmful to all women but especially harmful to battered women and children."

The next time you say it, I will call you a deliberate, repetitive liar. Fair enough?

So you're saying NOW says that father's rights groups are lobbying for JPC yet I can't find anything on "fathers rights" organizations websites stating JPC aas part of their platform. Now, it is conceivable that there is an father's rights organization that does actively support/lobby for JPC and I just haven't found it. That's why I asked if anyone else has information on such groups and a link to them. Does your NOW article state which father's rights group is lobbying for JPC?

Last time I sent you a link to a prominent father's rights group that is doing exactly that.

I've looked through the thread and can't find this link. Can you post it again or tell me which post# you put it in? Thanks.

Nevermind I found it.

Here is what I found on the subject at that website:

"We believe equal, shared parenting time or joint custody is the optimal custody situation."
