I was recently contacted by a reporter who is looking for fathers who fit any of the following three profiles:

1) Fathers who married their pregnant girlfriends or lovers in part to protect their parental rights, but upon divorce discovered that their parental rights weren't truly protected anyway.

2) You impregnated your girlfriend or lover but you did not want the child and said so. However, she had the child anyway, and now you're stuck paying child support.

3) A father who feels that he personally was treated fairly--I said fairly--in family court.

If this is you, please send me your name, phone number, and a brief (100 words max) description of yourself by clicking here.

[Note: Thanks to all those who responded to my request last month for struggling married couples. The show I was recruiting you for was Inside Edition, and the couple from my list (pictured above) appeared on the show January 9.

Thanks also to all those who responded to my October request for Texas dads with child support issues. Three of those who responded to our notice appeared on a Fox Houston TV special on dads and child support on November 5. To watch that show, click here.]
