'''Parents Without Rights''' is a political interest and support group based in [[Florida]], [[United States]] that campaigns for the reform of [[family law]]. It was founded in [[1991]] by a group of men who felt that the Florida's Family Courts did not consider them competent to be active Father and Parents, or have custody of their children, when their marriages ended in [[divorce]]. In [[1995]], they were reorganized by Grayson Walker.

==Florida law==
In a recent study of cases involving contested custody in Broward, Palm Beach, and Dade Counties, the mother was awarded residential custody in 96% of all contested cases. Although the Florida Court usually grants the father [[visitation]] rights, the group argues that this "turns the Father into a visitor in the lives of his child(ren)".

Parents Without Rights argues that ''unless one parent can be proven to be unfit and dangerous to the child(ren), anything less than 50/50 parenting is child abuse.'' However they do not specify what the mean by "[[child abuse]]". They argue that children's fundamental rights are protected only when both parents are treated as equals, starting with equal time with the children.
