Time to deal with absent fathers, for their children’s sake
The department of justice and constitutional development family law states that: “Maintenance is the obligation to provide another person, for example, a minor, with housing, food, clothing, education and medical care, or with the means that are necessary for providing the person with these essentials. This legal obligation is called ‘the duty to maintain’ or ‘the duty to support’.”
“They are more patient and can handle the stresses and frustrations associated with schooling more readily than children with less involved fathers. The two have highlighted the significant roles fathers play that do not require any money. As I browsed through my Facebook feeds this week on the opening of inland schools, I saw a handful of fathers sharing pictures of the first day of school for their “bundles of joy”.
In most cases, as one gets older it is the emotional and psychological void that counts the most. It is the lack of their emotional and physical presence that leads to what an adult will deal with later on – childhood trauma. The fathers should help their children with homework, walk them to school, attend parents’ meetings and so on.
