Parents Without Rights
'''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 Kennedy Space Center Scientists led by [[Peter T. Wilson]], 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, the website created, a newsletter created by Dr. [[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)".

In [[1998]] and [[1999|99]], the group mounted a successful campaign to prevent the appointment of [[Jessie Preston Silvernail]] to the Fifth District Court of Appeals.

Parents Without Rights is a member of the [[Million Dads March]] and [[Thomas Lessman]]. 

In [[2006]], the organization worked with Republican State Representative 
[[Ellyn Bogdanoff]]. Parents Without Rights held "meet and greet" parties for Ms. Bogdanoff, assisted in fund raising, and contributed to Ms. Bogdanoff's 10 point margin of victory on November 7, 2006.
