Parental alienation remains a growing problem in the United States today. Every day, the court system denies fathers the inalienable rights to their offspring. When a father struggles to have access to his children, he must seek legal action to ensure the enforcement of his rights. The division of the Judicial System that oversees all issues regarding children, custody and parental rights would become what we now know as Family Court. However, due to the antiquated views that society has on a father’s role in the family, there is not much justice in this system.

Even with a few underperforming aspects, this advertisement, in its form, content and outlet, successfully promotes ‘The Fathers’ Rights Movement’. There are many aspects of an audio-visual advertisement that, through an in-depth analysis, can explain its primary purpose, context and message. One way is through narration. This ad was narrated by a soft-spoken man, most likely middle-aged or younger, presumably a man who has young children. This man speaks directly to the audience. The fact that it is a male speaking inspires the initial emotional connection. For the fathers who are actively involved in a Family Court case, or the fathers who are considering legal action, male encouragement goes farther than that of a female, because a woman is most likely who they are fighting against. In addition to the person speaking, the viewer must also pay attention to the words that are being spoken. In the case of this TFRM commercial, the narrator begins by stating, “We go by many names: Dad, Padre, sometimes Old Man, usually it’s Daddy. Daddy is the favorite.” (“Commercial”). This statement also helps further define the intended audience. The term “padre” refers to those of Spanish, Mexican or Latin American descent because when translated, it means “father”. Other derivatives are used to appeal to diverse cultures, which are evident throughout America. Closing out the sentence with the reference to “Daddy” being “the

Due to problems arising out of bitter divorces, custody, and support battles fathers are ostracize out of their children’s life. Fathers are often looked at as the bad person when things go wrong and being the blame. Fathers are just as responsible for the child being born as the mother. Over the years fathers continue to fight for equal rights, mothers are looked at as the victims and often make false statements about the fathers to suit their own selfish needs. Accusations of sexual and child abuse by mothers of the noncustodial fathers are often found to be untrue.
According to the 2010 Plan for the Future of the New York City Family Court, the main goal of family court relies on ensuring “the highest standard of justice for each and every litigant who enters the courthouse” (2010).

Throughout the United States, more than one-third of children don't live with their biological fathers, and about 17 million of those children don't live with any father at all.

Some organizations focus on reasonable child support and visitation, as well as creative joint custody arrangements to
