    My daughter is 2 1/2 and I have been fighting for time through the courts since she was born. I am fortunate enough to have the money to pay an attorney, currently over $20,000. This bill will help the fathers who cant afford to!
  • Todd Kendall Feb 26, 2008 @ 9:03 am | delete
    The effects of not letting children spend time with both parents will stay with them for a lifetime. Let's not let another day go by with this injustice. If doing what is right for the children is truly the most important thing, then how can we NOT pass this bill?
  • tntalk Feb 23, 2008 @ 7:04 am | delete
    State laws are great and guaranteed by the Constitution. Unfortunately, federal law has taken control and authority over child support in violation of human and civil rights. It's called the Bradley Amendment.

    Children need both parents actively involved in their lives. HB 4564 ensures that both the rights and duties of raising children is upon both parents!
  • Richard Goloversic Jr. Oct 3, 2007 @ 11:30 pm | delete
    Go sit through a few hearings yourself! "best interest of the children" Lies, corruption, greed, sickness, all in the name of our children. TIME FOR CHANGE!! put this bill through!

    olease help bring equal parenting time for the children
  • Mellisa C Aug 8, 2007 @ 8:06 am | delete
    This change is well OVERDUE! As an elected official, i.e. Rep. Brenda Clack, you have a DUTY TO LISTEN AND SERVE your constituents with issues that they are concerned with. This issue is very sensitive in the hearts of many Michigan families and we need your support to help repair our families!!!
  • Lauri Sherry Jul 2, 2007 @ 12:09 pm | delete
    The State makes it very clear that men are to be financially responsible for their kids, then why doesn't the State embrace the fact that they should be emotionally responsible, as well. Isn't time we change a law from thirty years ago.

    The good people of The Great State of Michigan have spoken! Rep. Brenda Clack, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL, by bringing House Bill 4564 up for a vote in the Family and Children Services Committee! Time is of the essence, shared parenting will strengthen Mich and the US as a whole! Do what is AMERICAN!
  • Paul Breslin Jul 1, 2007 @ 6:23 pm | delete
    As a citizen/taxpayer/parent I would expect any representative of the people of the State of Michigan to do whatever they could to improve the quality of our children's lives. HB4564 is a step in the right direction to insure the children of have equal access to both parents. Our kids deserve it.
  • Judith Faye Jul 1, 2007 @ 10:21 am | delete
    Brenda Clack This bill needs to get passed. In my heart of hearts I am a child advoocate. Imagine how a child might feel after finding out not only is the paarent they love leaving the home, but now they will be able to experience the love and nuturing of the other parent on a very limited basis
  • Becky Monroe Jun 25, 2007 @ 12:19 pm | delete
    This antiquated way of thinking has to be reworked and it is way past time to truly do what is in the best interest of the children in Michigan. Please don't let this bill die where it lies. Please do your job!
  • Brian Downs Jun 20, 2007 @ 1:48 pm | delete
    Michigan's Family Courts are broken. Studies show that children do much better when both parents are involved. However, family courts routinely take one parent out of the lives of children. This has to stop!! Joint custody should be mandated unless one parent is unfit. We must pass HB 4564.
  • michael s. clark Jun 20, 2007 @ 9:30 am | delete
    ms.clack your responsibility as a legislator is to report this bill out of committee for positive action from the house and senate. kids need both parents to have a chance at success in life. apparently your life experience in the most violent city in the usa has jaded your perception about parents.
  • Gloria Anderson, Ryan and Andrew's Grandma Jun 18, 2007 @ 7:06 pm | delete
    Brenda, spend time in local shops and the topic of children comes up. Get to know the people who have been removed from the lives of their children, for no reason. Guarantee, it will make you cry, break your heart and most likely draw you to action. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to bring about change.
  • Dr. Dale Norris Jun 18, 2007 @ 6:35 pm | delete
    It is long past time to relinquish the power of divorce courts to destroy parenting. Equal/shared parenting is a win/win situation. There is no logical or empirical reason to think otherwise. Please vote in favor of shared parenting, however it is termed or arranged.

    Equal parenting is best for the child and is fair to the parents. Make joint custody the standard, NOT the exception.
  • Best for Your State Jun 18, 2007 @ 9:54 am | delete
    If not for children rights, then think about your monetary needs in the State of Michigan. Michigan's debt problem is announced nationwide. If you vote/pass HB 4564, you will have a spillover effect, and Americans will begin to flood into your State Similar to the gold rush, children are our gold, and if all parents want the best for their kids, they will go to Michigan. Your State will have an economic boom?do some research, you will be surprised. Now you have two reasons?population / economic boom, and productive families. Think out of the box Brenda, and vote / pass HB 4564
  • Michael Vickory Jun 17, 2007 @ 5:47 pm | delete
    This Bill is about individual rights! When the divorce laws and the courts usurp the rights of the individual the legislature has a duty to protect those rights. The bill would accomplish this without the prejudice in the current manner of deciding custody. Men are being dicrimminated against.
  • geribrown Jun 17, 2007 @ 2:16 pm | delete
    This bill needs to be passed. Kids don't just want both parents in their life they NEED BOTH PARENTS!!!

    Representative Brenda Clack would be simply ANTI-America if she doesn't bring bring HB4564 up with a vote and her support this session. America was built on the family and if Brenda Clack doesn't support Families, she doesn't support AMERICA!

    Representative Clack, you have an opportunity to do what is right for EVERY child and EVERY parent who is suffering from a divorce situation in the state of Michigan. A divorce is the end of a marriage, not the responsibility of a parent towards his or her own children. Bring HB 4564 up for a vote
  • Sharon Z Jun 4, 2007 @ 11:36 am | delete
    It's time to stop the child abuse that is created and maintained by our legal system for profit. It's time to let parents be EQUAL parents without giving the courts more say and rights that a biological parent!

    Divorce is a break in marriage not in parenting ability. Kids need to security of both ?parents? after suffering the breakdown of their family. The laws that take away joint custody are cruel and assuming. Help heal our country and put kids back in t parent relationships ? not part time parenting relationships.
  • Candy Jun 4, 2007 @ 9:30 am | delete
    Please allow children to realize that both parents love them equally - it is not fair to turn one or the other parent into a "part time" caregiver. You make assumptions that one parent is not as good as the other when you do not allow shared parenting. divorce does not change abilities.
  • Ivan McCaig Jun 4, 2007 @ 7:45 am | delete
    An interested party ,who is now a grand-parent, that lost to much time with my children when they were growing up. All children have two parents and even divorce should'nt change that.Dads should have rights too.
  • Richard Postma Jun 3, 2007 @ 11:53 pm | delete
    The current structure of family law in Michigan is hostile toward children. The parents know what the "best interests" of a child are, not the government. HB 4564 proposes EQUALITY and respects the rights of children. This bill needs to be voted on by the citizens' representatives.
  • Doug Dante Jun 3, 2007 @ 11:49 pm | delete
    Rep Brenda Clack, show that you know children need love most of all, and stand up for the rights of moms and dads to care and love their children by allowing a vote on HB 4564.
  • Nancy Luckhurst Jun 3, 2007 @ 11:46 pm | delete
    This Bill needs to be passed to maximize time with both parents.
  • Terry Wanston May 30, 2007 @ 3:40 pm | delete
    You need to vote yes on this bill. It is about time that the stupid courts in this state have to give children the right to have BOTH parents in their lives and hearts. Michigan is going to the tubes fast and a yes vote can be a small babystep toward turning things around, if you care that is.
  • Stephanie Acre May 30, 2007 @ 6:59 am | delete
    Men need equal rights as females or fathers vs. mothers. Every other weekend I see my nephew cry because he doesn't get to see his dad. When my husband was "allowed" to see his daughter she cried every other weekend as well, she wanted to stay w/her dad. Children need both parents, as I did.

    We have freedoms in our country I thought as a naive young Marine in 1965-66 in Vietnam I was defending and helping others in our world to enjoy.The men and women defending those same freedoms and philosophy today question as do: WHERE IS OUR FREEDOM FROM OUR GOVERNMENT TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN?????

    Hello Brenda Clack
    I'm have seen the divorce system for over 13y/rs from both sides.bill 4564 is for the children it stops the spite
  • Chet Merda May 26, 2007 @ 11:20 am | delete
    It takes two people to bring a child into this world and two people to raise a child but the need with equal time. Let's reduce the Amber alerts by giving equal time to divorced parents and their children. Free up police enforcement, attorney, and court time and this will save the taxpayers money.
