YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY TO PROMOTE THIS PETITION. PLEASE SHARE INSTEAD!

This petition is a written demand to the United State’s  Legislative, and Judicial branches of government to make long overdue changes to federal laws, and guidelines that have had a negative effect on family law in many states. 

The United States government has been using our tax dollars to incentivize state governments, and agencies to pursue maximum child support collections since 1975. Whether by design, or otherwise, the federal funding made  available to states for their “performance” in establishing support orders, and collecting child support, has led to widespread corruption in family law.

Family courts have a responsibility to all parties who are subjected to its jurisdiction, especially our children. For decades, family court corruption has given rise to public concern in jurisdictions across the country. The level of injustice has reached a point that can no longer  be tolerated. 

As citizens, and taxpayers, we demand that critical safeguards be implemented to protect our rights, and the rights of our children. Corruption has crept into family courts, bar associations, and state governments. Title IV-D incentivizes all three branches of state governments to ignore the best interest of our children, and instead to seek maximum child support collections.

Our children deserve both parents, but because it benefits the state, their parents are either labeled “custodial ”, or “non-custodial”. A child’s right to both biological parents should be considered a fundamental right. A child should be granted a higher form of due process than what the current system affords them. 

The use of minimal evidentiary standards has given district court judges a level of discretion that has proven to exceed the integrity of many family courts. The abuse of power has risen to an unacceptable level. Where every citizen should be granted equal protection under the law, we are instead being subjected to judicial tyranny.

The undersigned United States Citizens demand our elected representatives to take immediate action to mitigate the injustices we have witnessed in Family courts across the country. We insist the grievances listed herein be remedied in a manner which will bring about relief to those who have endured the hardships for which legal safeguards must be implemented to prevent Including, but not limited to:

Federally establish minimal evidentiary standards required for a judge to deviate from 50/50 physical placement as ( clear and convincing)
