Fathers vow fight for custody rights

Tom Jalowiec may not always know where his children are, but he definitely knows where they're supposed to be - it's all spelled out in a court order. An ongoing custody battle with his estranged wife has cost both sides thousands in legal fees and resulted in a visitation schedule so detailed it includes alternating holiday arrangements for odd and even years.

Jalowiec, who lives in Sauquoit, is just one of thousands of fathers nationwide who are advocating for a change in how family courts award custody, especially after a divorce. They and their supporters say the current legal system is biased against fathers and that new laws could eliminate the creation of an unnecessarily adversarial relationship between parents.
