Parental obligations and privledges are determined by the courts "in the best interest of the child" In other words they are set to protect the rights OF THE CHILD not the parents. They may be called "parental rights" for convienence, but they are NOT rights. Rights are not granted by a court decree, they exist WITHOUT law. Law can only defnine what naturally exists, or eliminate them, never grant them. We do not have freedom of speech BECAUSE of the 1st amendment, the 1st amendment exists to prevent the freedom of speech from being taken away by the government.
Property rights are a part of the Constitution. A marriage is a legal entity, just like a corporation. The marriage owns property. The marriage is composed of 2 individuals. The disolution of a marriage is just like the disolution of a company, the property owned by the marriage has liquidated and shared among the "shareholders".
There is NO marriage RIGHTS.
