OMAHA (KPTM) - Deciding who gets primary custody of kids in a divorce is never easy. In Nebraska, it's granted to the mother about 60 percent of the time.
A group of dads say they are pushing a bill to encourage people to go for joint custody.
Jeremy Barnhill says he's been waiting for a long time for equal rights to his daughter.
"You have a right to be a parent to your kids and your kids have a right to have access to both parents," he says.
Barnhill says he now only gets see his 5-year-old daughter about 8 hours a month. He founded the group, "Kids Have Rights Too".
Barnhill says the goal is to, "level the playing field to benefit children involved in divorce and custody cases."
"Especially when both parents are deemed fit, kids should have full rights and full access to both parents," Barnhill says.
The group is pushing state lawmakers to pass LB 22. It's a bill supporters say would encourage joint custody after a divorce. - Nicole Ebat

I operate Studio Brulé on YouTube and with your support I hope to be able to attend and cover the International Conference On Men's Issues 2016 which begins on July 8 in London, UK. The material that I capture will document the burgeoning Men's movement, and the feminist resistance to this movement.
Video capture of the conference is covered by the organizers at Justice for Men And Boys, run by the inspiring and tireless Mike Buchanan, so I will not be covering any of the main conference, but my strength is really in capturing protests as I have at other events.
If there are any protests, which I expect there will be given that Milo Yiannopoulos will be speaking and he has been a lightning rod lately, I will do my best to approach the protesters and capture their perspective in their own words, which are often more damning than those of their critics. And this is perhaps my greatest offering, the capture of the protests and protesters.
I will also do as many interviews of the presenters as possible, as I did at ICMI 2014 in Detroit, where I interviewed Warren Farrell, Erin Pizzey, Senator Anne Cools, Anil Kumar, and Terence Popp. And for those supporters who donate $25 or more, I will pose your question to the presenter of your choice, provided that I am able to secure an interview with that presenter, otherwise I WILL put your question to another presenter.
Anyone contributing $125 or more will receive a free copy of Janice Fiamengo's upcoming book “Sons Of Feminism” when it is available.
If you contribute $600 or more and you are in London or can come to Kingston Ontario, I will record an episode of your own creation, up to 15 minutes in length, along the style of The Fiamengo File. Simply write the script and gather any legal inserts that you wish, indicating where in the video they are to be inserted.
In the past I have been able to capture protesters in action, and often my footage has revealed as much about those who oppose equality, justice and freedom, as do the lectures themselves. For example the footage that I captured at the recent Male Students in Peril Conference in Georgia was extremely useful in telling the story of the persecution of Sage Gerard at Kennesaw State University.
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." (Tecumseh).
