FATHER'S DAY: by Olalude Gbenga
Paternal rights
The paternity rights of a father with regard to his children differ widely from country to country often reflecting the level of involvement and roles expected by that society.
- Paternity leave
Parental leave is when a father takes time off to support his newly born or adopted baby.Paid paternity leave first began in Sweden in 1976, and is paid in more than half of European Union countries.In the case of male same-sex couples the law often makes no provision for either one or both fathers to take paternity leave.
- Child custody
Fathers' rights movements such as Fathers 4 Justice argue that family courts are biased against fathers.
- Child support
Child support is an ongoing periodic payment made by one parent to the other; it is normally paid by the parent who does not have custody.
