Will Barack Obama being President make any substantive difference to fathers and families? Will parents in general be better or worse off? Why? (Or why not?)

[Moms Without Custody]

As part of SPARC's committment to serving all non-custodial parents, we're proud to announce our new "Moms Without Custody" message board, intended specifically to help address the needs of non-custodial mothers.

This message board will be moderated by Jennifer Isham, MA, NCC, LCPC, CS, who was the National Director of Mothers Without Custody for 10 years, working with noncustodial mothers from across the country.

"Going through a divorce and becoming a noncustodial mom led me to a career in counseling.  I'm a  Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Intuitive coach.  I'm also a Reiki Master, crystal and energy therapist.  Over the past 20 years, I've worked with individuals, couples, and families in various stages of disenchantment, challenge, curiosity, awareness, fear, interest excitement, and desire for change.  Areas of interest include personal development across the lifespan, life transitions, including midlife transition, divorce and custody, grief and loss and end-of-life preparation, legacy building, sexuality, intuition and spirituality.  I am a   passionate advocate for helping clients realize their unique and personal voices.

A writer, speaker and popular class and workshop leader, I try to bring my love for creativity and innovation into all that I do. I have an interactive, co-creative, supportive teaching and coaching/counseling style."

Welcome to our new message board, moderator, and visitors!

Socrateaser (an experienced family law attorney) no longer administers this forum. He skillfully answered questions here for several years, helping people and providing free legal advice.

For reasons unknown, Socrateaser transferred his user account to another attorney (a non-family law attorney) without informing the administrator or the users here. This person assumed his role for several months and then started asking for money to continue answering questions.

This goes against our basic policy of not charging for services on SPARC and he was subsequently asked to leave.  

SPARC is currently seeking a family law attorney who would like to field questions on this message board. If you would like to do that, please contact us at [email protected].

Welcome to SPARC, Dean!

I've removed some posts that I felt weren't contributing anything useful to the forum. A certain amount of bickering is fine, but enough is enough.

(sigh)

Thank you Mkx2 for injecting a bit of clarity here. :)
