Having said that. I fail to see your point. The main idea of the forum is to do what is in the best interest of the child, by allowing both biological parents the right to be involved in their child's upbringing. The goal is to change the law to make it easier for non-custodial parents to have greater rights to visit and have access to the child, as nearly every study that has come out has indicated that this will ultimately benefit the child in the long run.

What exactly is suspicious about that?
You have suggested that the main idea of the forum is to do what is in the best interest of the child. That is a noble idea, one that is consistent with the law, and one that is likely to garner support and attract attention from the right type of people.

However, I am suggesting to you that the name "Alberta Parental Rights Forum" does not communicate that idea. It doesn't even mention children. There is no introduction or description of the forum anywhere that mentions children, children's right to have access to both parents, or the best interests of children. Therefore, someone like me, having not read your description of the main idea of the forum, might suspect that the main focus of the forum is in fact on disgruntled parents who think that they are entitled to spend more time with their children because they pay x amount of child support, etc.
