A reminder to the Superior Court of Alameda, Family Law Section

One of the main problems with the current laws are that parents are only allowed joint custody arrangements if both parents agree. If a parent wishes to suggest their is a problem even when there is not (in my case) she simply files a motion requesting a change - under current laws the court can now assume both parents dont agree and so one parent now gains the advantage over the other - which is of course the mother!
One question often asked is why would a statistically advantaged parent agree to joint custody when one parent can have not only full custody of the children but also a large portion of the other parents finances with little or no effort?

Another question for law makers and judges is, why does the family courts allow one parent to give up the other parents rights and are family laws really constitutional as they are now?

Right now the system basically allows complete discretion of the judge and by definition allowing discretion is what opens the door for a judge's bias to enter the courtroom and we need consistency.

“There is a fundamental liberty right guaranteed to both parents by the 14th Amendment to the care, custody, and nurture of their children. According to the US Supreme Court: “Absent a Compelling State Interest of harm or potential harm to the child, the State may not intervene in the privacy of family life.”

"The Creation Of A Sub Class Of American Citizens With A Diminished Access To The Rights Equal To All Americans Through An Instrument Of The Court Is Unconstitutional and Illegal." The Law USCG. 42 Chapter 7 Sub Chapter IV Part D 666 requires each state court in a divorce to create a non-custodial parent and place unequal duties upon this citizen." -Krightradio.com 1/17/07



Children need equal access to both of their parents for many reasons but the bureaucrats seam to really be hung up on the money their systems generate for the State and their inner city welfare programs and we need to change this policy. Did you know that in most states, for every dollar the states take from you in support payments for your child, the state and county gets almost dollar for dollar matching federal funds to use as they wish?

Our goal as affected fathers, mothers, grand parents, concerned citizens is to achieve equality and accountability in the family courts. We want to take the sport out of divorce and give parents the tools they need to help them get through their troubled times of a broken relationship. The courts should remain neutral and if anything they should help bridge the gap of our troubled parents instead of further dividing them with this winner take all approach where the winner is awarded absolute power and control of the other parents finances and schedule. When the family court system is biased such as ours, there are many situations where the abuser just because of their gender is awarded custody and as a result of this injustice, the abuser is then allowed to terrorize the other parent and their children for many years to come. We understand a parent's fear is their right, but that right should not be used to restrict the freedom of others just to alleviate their own.

The system is setup to guard the custodial parent and they all do a great job backing each other up too. Next time you walk into a family court room, look around and count how many people there are around, whose income is funded directly or indirectly by the child support that is being paid. The social workers working the cases, the lawyers, the guardian ad-litems, the mediators and even the bailiff are funded by the child support parents pay.

They are all in on this scam together and that is why we need to join together. Help us take the sport out of divorce by supporting efforts to get a presumption of joint custody passed in every state where the other parent needs to prove why joint custody isn't in the best interest and a judge can still award jont custody even if one parent disagrees.
