Just how do you propose to compel fathers to take more interest in their families?

David, I entirely agree with the idea that families need fathers. It is not ideal for mothers to have to bring up children on their own, often without the help of contributions from the children's father. Some single-parent families cope very well, but there are plenty of others that find it a daily struggle to manage on their own, while the fathers of their children neither contribute financially nor take any part in the upbringing of their sons or daughters - sometimes not even visiting. I am interested to know what ideas you have to encourage fathers to stay with their children and partners/wives, especially during the important years in which a child is growing up.
