Welcome to the Non-Custodial Parents Rights Page! Today's society has a tendency to downplay the importance of the father's role in the family. Too many times, the non-custodial parents (mostly fathers) are given very little consideration in regards to their importance in their children's lives. Many groups are seeking to change this. Children need both parents - the non-custodial parent should not just be seen as a financial supporter of the children when the emotional support is just as critical.
