We demand that the government of Japan enact laws of visitation and support adequate visitation so that children can maintain sincere relationships with non-custodial parents after separation or divorce.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We urge that the sole custody system be replaced into a system where both parents can share responsibilities to care for children after separation or divorce.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Japan, only the parents that have possessing the children can decide on visitation between the children and the other parents. Since we, non-custodial parents, legally cease to be parents of our children after divorce, no remedy do we have to enforce our visitation agreement made by the mediation or granted by the court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until today, few have criticized this inhumane treatment: worse, we suffer from discrimination by the public who consider non-custodial parents lacking in parenting skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to establish an adequate visitation system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parents are divorced; yet, the children are not divorced from their parents. Children have the right to maintain regular and personal contact with their parents. In fact, alienating children from non-custodial parents, without just reasons, not only harms the children psychologically, but also violates the rights of children under the UN Convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lacking of stipulation for joint custody and visitation, indeed, exacerbates custodial battles in Japan. Parental abduction, abusing of habeas corps, false allegation of domestic violence and child abuse is prevalent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children are suffering from this outdated Japanese family law. It is time to establish an adequate visitation system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No longer will we tolerate this ongoing plight. In order to protect children from discrimination or misery after parent’s divorce, we establish a network to; exchange information and opinion; press the Judiciary, the Executive, the Legislature, and local councils to enact laws and systems to comply with the UN Convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On July 13th 2008, we will have the first conference of Oyako Network.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We urge your support!<\/strong><\/p>\n
