This is a petition to change the law for victims of non paying divorced parents. It has come to my attention that even though a father has not seen his daughter in 20 years, never paid child support, medical bills, never sent birthday or Christmas cards, or called to see how she was, that he is entitled to half of a settlement that the mother won for her daughters accidental death case. I for one do not believe this is justified. I believe if a parent has not had contact with their child in 7 or more years that all parental rights should be relinquished and they should have no claim to any compensation from any lawsuit won by the victim of non paying parent. If you agree sign and pass it on. I will then take this to my congressman, senator, and whoever else i need to, to make sure this injustice doesn't happen again. Thank you for your support!

Totally unfair. This man didnt pay a cent for 20 years so he has no business touching that money.

This makes me sick. How can a judge even allow this? A man who abandoned his child should not get a dime. Absolutely disgusting.

My heart breaks for this mother. She raised that girl alone and she deserves the whole settlement. The system is so broken.

Completely agree. If you dont show up for your kid you lose your rights. Period.

Laws need to change now. Being a parent is a responsibility not a lottery ticket you can cash in when something tragic happens.
