Father says support schedule is 'unrealistic'Continued from page 1.(Parents Opposed to Punitive Support.) The dads are the good guys in a lot of cases. We have the intangible qualities of love and nurturing. Why is it the women almost always end up with the children?“ ... Why is it that Dad is a good person when he’s bringing home the bacon, but when you separate he’s suddenly not a fit father?”While there are avenues in the courts to battle some of the inequities he sees in the system, every trip into the courtroom takes money.Hoy estimates he has spent $5,000 in legal fees, and still has not gone through the final hearing. He would like to have a home study done to ensure his children are being cared for properly, but cannot afford it.“The frustration has been trying to turn theother cheek so many times,” he said. ‘‘Things happen that are not right, but your hands are virtually tied. If you are not in a financially stable situation, you can’t pursue all of your legal rights.“In divorce, the lawyers are the only ones who come out pretty good. I don’t think the children or the parents do. There are no real winners.”
