Around the globe tourist often mention how beautiful are our cities, beaches and even our Latin women. But in this island there are a variety of situations that are negatively effecting our population. Puerto Ricans have knowledge of the present situations which are: political, economical, criminal, and social atittudes. This time I will like to comment about a few social atittudes that a lot of females in this country are suffering. In the Puerto Rican island there is a high percentage of divorces and disfunctional families which brings single parenting. The law in this caribbean island states the custody of such minor and how parents will support economically all of his/her needs.
If you visit the family court room you can observe that the majority of cases are against men that lack of responsability and parenting. That percentage grows everyday which made the goverment establish a law of child support law #5 from December 30, 1986 states the obligation of supporting childs needs with monetary income upto age 21 or until the minor completes his/her bachelors degree. If the parent doesn't follow the orders of the judge this parent will go to jail. If the non-custody parent is married the judge can add both incomes to establish the childs pension.
And to add I have to mention the establishment of parents rights which in most cases are not claimed. Sadly to say much minors in this country lack of the father figure. Even though lots of men pay the monetary support that doesn't mean they are part of their kids life. Lots of women are the ones incharge of the physical, mental development and in much cases economical support of their children. In order for this to change in our society us females have to raise our boys with the moral responsability of making good decisions in life and take responsabilities for their mistakes in life. That way these boys will be in the future real men that will support and love their child.
