Baldwin Wins Three Days With Daughter

LATEST: ALEC BALDWIN has been granted an extra three visiting days with his daughter, after accusing ex-wife KIM BASINGER of obstructing his visits. The PEARL HARBOR star, who spoke to Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner MAREN NELSON via telephone from his New York home, continues to fight for an enforcement of a court order granting him 'make-up time' for visitation days he has lost while starring in theatre hit ENTERTAINING MR SLOANE and while his daughter was ill. The show, which closes later this month (21MAY06), has left Baldwin hardly any time to spend with 10-year-old IRELAND, and now the actor is desperate to compensate. But Basinger, who split from Baldwin in 2000 has been accused of structuring her diary to obstruct his visits. Baldwin's lawyer VICKI GREENE says, "She fights him tooth and nail in every single thing because she wants him to not have the time. "She's not only not being reasonable, she's not even being nice about it." Under the terms of their divorce, Baldwin and Basinger are required to make up any missed visits within 60 days.

It is not about the dad it is about the child. WIN??I too am in a divorce from a sick psycho abuser and know first hand the courts, children and youth, the police, and mental health services will not save the children from the continued abuse from the spouse when it hits the courts. The only way out is to give the kids to the abuser. What a shame to have to say they are your children when they grow up. Constant abuse continues and no one will help save the children from the abuse. The abuser if they are good enough at the lies they can convince everyone to feel sorry for them -- so they can continue. This is sick! This is not allowed to continue in schools, work, or anywhere else. My spouse gets off feeling my daughter’s breast grow. No one can protect her from that. Does he do it to get himself off or to torment his ex-spouse because she has to continue to have her children abused. He can just say it never happened. The child is now so messed up. She tried to tell and no one would stop it. Who can save her now! The psycho’ s knows how to do it and play the world. Then hide it where no one can see! Try and tell – not if he can make something up first about you. Now who will they believe! The sick court system! The sick world! Children should be saved from the abuse. The court system is just another way to abuse the spouse! t is not about the dad it is about the child.

Support from Ireland on this international problem.... www.family-men.com..... THE MISUSE OF THE "EQUALITY CONCEPT" HARMS CHILDREN It appears from the research carried out by the National Men’s Council of Ireland and from the experiences of members of the Mothers at Home group that the "equality concept" is being MIS-used by our feminist state to stealthily take control of our lives. Whilst one can argue over the manner and morality of such a power grab, one aspect is undeniable. IT IS HARMING CHILDREN and this article explains how we can reverse that situation and use it to actually protect children. Discrimination and “social function” Both in Ireland, the UK and elsewhere one is allowed to be discriminated against if it is done according to one’s "social function" so there are, for example, a multitude of instances within the social welfare code where women, in their social function as a ‘mother’ are treated more favourably than men in their social function as a ‘father’. Generally men don’t complain about this and just pay for it. Women enjoy the privilege and say nothing! In family law mothers are treated with positive discrimination. If there is a real need for a determination of the primary custody of very young children a mother will be chosen above the father under the tender age principle on no grounds other than because of her social function as a mother. Again few would argue against it. Wherever there is a difference in social function between men and women, as in the family, the "equality concept" does not apply so anyone who believes there is or should be an "equality concept" operating in family law is sadly misguided. When it comes to children however the law requires that in every instance involving EVERY child their welfare shall be the paramount consideration. This requires EVERY child to benefit from the "equality concept". The state equalises DOWN! The way the state, through its social policy and its courts, operate this principle is to claim under the "equality concept" it would be unfair to discriminate between children of a Marriage who have the benefit of a Father to care and protect them and children who don’t ‘have a father’ - where their mother is not married - and argue that this would also stigmatise the mother. They then treat all children as if the Mother is the only acting Guardian with parental responsibility. The state treats all children as ‘fatherless’ The National Men’s Council of Ireland monitor, on behalf of the Family men and women of Ireland, legislative changes and state social policy for its impact on the Family based on Marriage and especially on children. We have documented evidence of where the Department of Education, the Department of Justice, the Department of Social and Family Affairs and the Health Boards all employ this false logic and illegally ignore or violate the rights of Husbands to protect and care for their children. For all of you who still remember their maths this ‘‘rounding down’ is akin to using the "lowest common denominator" method to determine the "equality concept". Under this scheme everyone has to be brought down to the least favourable position – in fact PENALISING anyone more favourably situated. (Some people call this communism) This position is obviously gross nonsense and can not be defended where we are talking about children’s lives. We should be equalising UP! What we should be doing if we really care about "equality", again using the maths jargon is to employ the "highest occurring factor" method and bring every child up to the most favourable situation. Everyone would agree that the best situation for children is to be brought up within the stability of a Marriage where the child has two Guardians with parental responsibility to care and protect them. This is why all research shows the Married family as being the safest, healthiest, wealthiest and happiest arrangement for both adults and children. The only law dealing with the Guardianship of children reinforces this by insisting that the Husband and Wife act JOINTLY in all decisions regarding the child’s welfare. Where a parent finds the other spouse is acting unilaterally, without their consent or approval, on a matter concerning the welfare of their children they are entitled to bring this to the attention of the court and seek its rebuke. This allows, subconsciously, for each parent to monitor the others parental behaviour to guard against any irrational or extreme actions. Every child deserves two parents acting as Guardians Bizarrely that same legislation does not provide the same safeguard for children in an unmarried situation or where a parent – almost always the mother - has been awarded sole custody by the courts. Here there is only one acting Guardian with parental responsibility. In these circumstances there is NO-ONE – no other Guardian - who can ask the court to rebuke the sole parent so the law is flawed and there is a serious danger to the child that there is no one to monitor the way the sole acting Guardian with parental responsibility exercises their duty. This is sadly why, despite the heroic efforts of most mothers coping on their own, the vast majority of child abuse, neglect and fatalities take place in homes where is no other Guardian with parental responsibility to act jointly with her in times of need or crisis nor who has the legal authority to bring any errant treatment of the child to the attention of the court to be dealt with. Marriage is the answer That is why the National Men’s Council of Ireland and Mothers at Home so strongly support Marriage as the paramount solution to the many problems that beset today’s beleaguered society. We have many times been attacked by socialists who believe the state knows better than any parent and by liberals who believe that Marriage is too demanding on individuals and claim that they should not have to commit themselves to the self-discipline that ‘the piece of paper’ requires of them. The response is too obvious to print but suffice it to say that no organisation who claims to have the children’s best interests at heart can support adults who insist selfishly that their right to be ‘carefree’ must trump the right of their children to be legally protected by them. However what is a reality that has to be dealt with is the increasingly common situation where the prospective mother declines to marry the prospective father because she believes - correctly - that Marriage will impact on her negatively due to the government’s misguided financial and social policies. Proposing for Guardianship In an effort to provide a male Guardian for children in these circumstances we claim there is a presumption that any prospective father who can show that he has asked the mother of his child to marry him shall be awarded Guardianship or parental responsibility by the court. He has done everything he can to perform his duty. Whereas Guardianship or parental responsibility for Married Fathers is an inalienable and imprescriptible right these "rejected" fathers will have to show their commitment to the satisfaction of a court of law to gain their Guardianship and as these rights are awarded by the court they can also be taken away by the court, unlike in the case of Married fathers. We have recently extended this concept to fully embrace the "equality concept" for all children using the "highest occurring factor" method. Appoint a second Guardian We now demand that ALL CHILDREN deserve the same care and protection available to children of Married and Married-like situations and so we say all must have two Guardians - a male and a female - to look after the children and monitor each other - even those children where the prospective father himself is too selfish to take on the responsibility. We propose therefore that, in these circumstances, the mother be required to nominate to a court of law a MALE person who will act JOINTLY with her to help and make decisions as the child’s other Guardian with parental responsibility. If the court is satisfied that this person will take on that responsibility he will be awarded Guardianship with parental responsibility and the mother will from then on have to consult over all decisions concerning the child’s upbringing, including those to do with their education and health and where they live and the second Guardian will be able to keep an eye on the child’s welfare. His name will be included in the child’s birth certificate. Ideally this would be a close male relative of the mother’s - say a brother or her own father. The biological father will, of course, continue to be responsible for the financial maintenance of his child and we fully support the court enforcing these genuine instances. A Conference to end Family breakdown We believe that once this policy is implemented there will be a rapid decrease in ‘out-of-wedlock’ births and a dramatic decrease in the cases of children being neglected, physically or sexually abused, partaking in underage drinking and drug-taking, sexual promiscuity and teenage pregnancy, obesity and smoking - all the problems that are destroying young lives and creating havoc in our society. We are organising an International conference in October/November this year and as well as inviting well-known speakers from around the world we are inviting submissions from interested parties who wish to present their position on the theme of "It takes a Marriage … " We wish to hear from all sides of the argument. Where there exists evidence to counter the promotion of Marriage as the ideal we need to hear that as well so that we can properly address the situation. What this conference will be about is revealing the truth so we look forward to hearing from you God bless Roger Eldridge, Chairman.
