I will get custody of the child. I will not let you see them. You will also pay me!

Dad.

There's no way I can agree to that! We should get custody!

Well, a trial, then. Women seem to win most of the time, and even if they did, I think we'd still see the outcome.

Japanese Children Suffer from Parental Conflict

By parental divorce,A country where 70% of children will never see either parent.Japan.

The remaining 30% of the children are not cared for, nor are their "children's wishes". The family court's decision is a far cry from the international standard of seeing one parent for an average of two hours once a month.

For children, disputes between parents and the convenience of adults are irrelevant.

"I want you and Mom and Dad to get along."　"Why can't I see you anymore?" "You don't like me anymore?"

Children have a voice that cannot be voiced.

They should be the kind of parents who think of their children's hearts and minds rather than their children's.

Even if divorce is the result of circumstances or disputes between adults, the first priority is the "voice" and "thoughts" of the children.

NPO Oyako no Kizuna for Japan is working to help Japan become such a society.
