Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Ken Solin is the author of "Act Like A Man" a book featuring guys who help each other identify, examine, and move beyond their dysfunctional behavior as partners, fathers, and friends.

Solin has worked for 20 years with men to move them beyond the issues, including divorce, that limit their lives.

A big part of Solin's message is men need to seek help and support groups rather than try and go it alone. He talked with DadsDivorce.com editor about his experience in his male-only support group and what it takes to "Act Like A Man."

Japan is known as a haven for international child abduction as the country has never returned a single abducted child.

Paul Toland, who is a commander in the U.S. Navy and has testified before Congress on this issue, is the only living parent of Erika Toland who was abducted to Japan in 2003 and has been held there first by his wife, Etsuko – who later committed suicide – and since then by Erika's grandmother.

Toland's experience led him to co-found the organization Bring Abducted Children Home, which is dedicated to the immediate return of internationally abducted children who are being wrongfully detained in Japan.

He spoke with DadsDivorce.com editor Matt Allen about his story and why Japan is known as a "black hole" for children who have been abducted where once they enter, they never return.

"The Today Show" on NBC used DadsDivorce.com as one of its sources in a recent article on the rise of Facebook-related divorces.

While we at DadsDivorce.com and the Cordell & Cordell divorce lawyers always caution divorced dads to be careful of what information they put online, the article mentions our stance that Facebook should not be solely blamed for ruining a marriage.

Men questioning paternity has become a widespread issue that leaves many guys confused about the complex paternity law process, according to a recent survey.

In a survey conducted by Identigene DNA Paternity Test, more than 10 percent of adults have been in a situation where they found out the presumed father of a child is not the dad after all.

Another 1 in 5 adults said that a close friend or family member has questioned paternity. These statistics show that many people are looking for answers to their paternity questions as 51 percent of adults with paternity questions either plan to address them in 2012 or would like to but are unsure where to start.

In 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice reported an average of 200,000 cases of parental kidnapping each year.

Maureen Dabbagh is a Virginia Supreme Court Family Mediator specializing in cross-border child custody disputes, who has been providing expert testimony on the issue of parental kidnapping since 1997.

Her own three-year-old daughter was abducted from the United States and taken to the Middle East by her ex-husband. Dabbagh had no communication with her daughter for 17 years until they were reunited in 2010.

Now, Dabbagh has just released a book call "Parental Kidnapping in America: An Historical and Cultural Analysis."
