Fathers march for the right to see their children

Email this page

June 10th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) A group of about 600 men marched in La Sabana over the weekend, demanding the right to see their children.

 

According to a spokesperson for the group, the group’s aim is to raise awareness amongst the population and the authorities that fathers’ rights are being denied.  The group claims that women often abuse the legal system by filing false charges against their partners in order to deny men visitation of their children.

 

“We want to create awareness amongst citizens and government authorities of the problems being faced by men, as many children are growing up without parents due to false charges of domestic violence.  We also want to express the fact that [child support] is unaffordable,” the spokesperson said.

    ABOUT TIME SOMETHING IS HAPPENING ABOUT FATHERS RIGHTS. THEY DO NOT EXIST HERE IN CR. THE MOTHER HAS TOO MUCH POWER AND LIES. THE COURTS ONLY BELIEVE THE LIES THE MOTHERS SAY AGAINST TH E FATHERS. THIS HAS TO STOP NOW IN THIS COUNTRY.

      This is merely the tip of the iceberg concerning injustice in the “justice” system here. Perhaps ICR and other media outlets should be exposing many of such cases.
      One in our area concerned a man whose wife made horrible allegations against him. After 7 months in jail where he suffered abuse at the hands of officials, he was tried and found to be innocent.
      When he got out, the man discovered that his house had been stripped to the walls of all his possessions and, of course, all his money had been used up to pay for his defence. He’d lost absolutely everything.
      Later, the Fiscal admitted that they knew the woman was crazy but had chosen to proceed with the charges against the man anyway.

        They reward cazafortunas , The law pats them on the back. They are congratulated by their piers. You have visitation rights but no one enforces the regime de visitas. The mother can move to any location and totally hide from the father. The father has no recourse to see his child, but only to continue to pay pension. Most Ticas expect the extranero to pay support and forget about the child. But a father that wants rights in CR, are very hard to come by. Especially when pension is paid and you’re treatened to go to jail only after 3 days late. When you know your pension goes not to your kid but to support the unemployed new boyfriend, and the other illegitimate kids in the household.

    So what do you call a Tica who has 3 kids with 3 different fathers? You would think a P*T$, But no, They are called JACKPOT. AND I am forbidden to see my precious princess this Father’s day. So what came out of the protest, NOTHING.
