The whole family court system needs to be thoroughly examined and changed. My daughter just went through a custody case here in Nebraska that was brought by the father who is an alcoholic. He was instantly granted supervised visits but was also supposed to start paying child support, do a parenting class and set up mediation. He did none of those things and either was late or no show to visits. He was allowed to keep making motions to drag my daughter to court and he would not show just his attorney. This ran my daughter by the end into debt of over $7,000. In total she had to pay over $12,000 for legal representation all in the end for him just to drop the case. As a single mom with no child support this was money that could have went to their child or even their child’s future. Now it’s caused her to just snowball into debt because she had to fight for the best interest of her child. There should be something where if a parent brings a case and then drops it after the other parent has paid all this money for representation and also has complied with all the court asked of them then the parent bringing the case should be ordered to reimburse for all that money. Also he was allowed to drop the case and the final order does not order any child support. During the case he had a 14 count case out of Kentucky for driving intoxicated and running from the police which was all over the news. He had two cases in Nebraska both alcohol related where he threw a rock through someone’s windshield and the other was domestic violence with his current pregnant girlfriend. Now he is locked up for yet another domestic violence incident against that same girlfriend. It haunts me to think what would have happened had my daughter not been able to get represented in court or could fight like she did for her child. He has money she does not which also raises the issue that all parents should have the right and access to legal representation that they can get assistance with payment for when they cannot afford it. These are cases concerning children which will effect their lives and well being so the system should be going above and beyond for them. I am praying for change!
Christina supported: Protect Our Children: Hold Family Court Judges Accountable & Believe SurvivorsMy niece was pulled from her parents for abuse and neglect when she was 2. Cared for by my mother until she was 8 and returned to her bio father who was a pedophile. Tried to fight it. When she was 15, he was arrested for incest and is in prison. Family court failed her.
karen supported: Protect Our Children: Hold Family Court Judges Accountable & Believe SurvivorsMy friend’s 15-year-old son is dead (found dead in bed at dad’s house) after the worst custody battle and divorce you could ever imagine, and the kids were awarded to a documented abuser and addict. His narcissistic nature and lies were completely ignored in court, and her tribe was silenced and not allowed to speak to the judge on her behalf. His family had the money and the dirty, high cost attorney. It’s sickening! Judges in these cases need better training and accountability! If awarding the abuser the kids, they need to prove competency over an extended period of time. His failures as a parent were immediate and obvious. Yet no one, not even the schools, would speak against the judgement in court. Save the children and the women!
Kerstin supported: Protect Our Children: Hold Family Court Judges Accountable & Believe SurvivorsI’m in a custody battle right now with my abuser who falsely is accusing me of verbal child abuse and parental alienation.
This man wasn’t around for pregnancy, her first 1.5years, wanted me and her d**d cause then he wouldn’t have to deal with 2 psycho baby mamas. Denied her being his til results came.. he’s always been inconsistent.. even with the 50/50 I allowed.
We currently have a Mo standard custody order and a few years ago he and his Wife threatened and belittled me into giving up Child Support, giving him 50/50, and moving all 3 of my kids to his school district 30 mi away so all the kids in the blended family were in the same school system to make it easier on them.
Rewind several years later, several blow ups, threats, name calling, etc IN FRONT of my Children, he almost made the violence physical until my Husband stepped in. In turn BD threatened my Husband in front of the Children.
He also wracked up $22k in back cs cause stopping cs wasn't put through the courts. This turned into him threatening me to forgive the back supports.
In the aftermath, he in writing, gave up his 50/50 I allowed.
Then because my kids are afraid of his temper, I put my Daughter (who we legally share) in therapy. Her 2 therapists said all 4 Parents needed to take her wants, needs, and feelings, as an adolescent into consideration.. So BD gave up his Wednesday evenings and agreed to just his weekends when all her Siblings are together.. in text.. he also agreed to my homeschooling her and now he’s battling that.
So then my Husband’s job did a big lay off & no where wanted to match what he was making as a multi certified welder, so we made the decision for him to go through cdl school to be able to drive semis.
Bd used this, his gave up in writing 50/50 & Wednesdays to sue me for custody. We’re 6 months into this custody battle and he’s filed lies, half truths and manipulations. His lawyer has filed wrong info on the paperwork through the courts.
Now I’m being threatened to give back 50/50 and put her back in public school where she struggled and was threatened to be held back. She’s doing 100% better homeschooled.
They say Dads are so mistreated in family courts, but when Moms show consistent inconsistency, abuse from the Fathers, etc, we’re ignored and told we still have to co parent with our abusers. Especially when the children witnessed so much!
There needs to be changes across the board!
Megan supported: Protect Our Children: Hold Family Court Judges Accountable & Believe SurvivorsAfter serving on this squad for 3 years consecutively and always showing up with school spirit, positive attitude, and a huge smile on her face, Zareah spot should have been solidified prior to tryouts. Most high schools do this. Nevertheless, she still showed up and gave it her all and that should speak volumes about this young lady's character, work ethic, and heart. I have drove over an hour to support this young lady because of her beautiful spirit inside out.
The principal as well as the Athletic director should get involved and revisit this decision. Cheerleaders are held to higher standards and yet they are not supported as much as the football players or male basketball players are. We need to be fair in the selection process and also consider these children future after high school. High school prepares them for college. Why would you not want an amazing student to continue to represent Archer High school and bring smiles and school spirit to other students?
Please be transparent, fair, and get rid of favortisim. This petition alone should speak volumes to the administration and coaching staff at Archer High school.
Zareah embodies Archer High school mission and vision. She exemplifies academic excellence while displaying world class standards at every game. Cheering is more than a sport. It take a special individual to withhold high grades and attend every practice and grade with a smile on their face despite how they are feeling. We all STAND with Zareah Wright.
Necia Nicole supported: Revisit the Selection Process for the Archer High School Varsity Cheerleading TeamAs a mother my heart hurts. What is going on at that school!
Gloria supported: Revisit the Selection Process for the Archer High School Varsity Cheerleading TeamMy sister does not deserve this. She’s been such a light to the cheer community it’s really disappointing to see that someone you would think want to see you succeed really doesn’t. This isn’t about numbers it’s about moral, ethics, loyalty and respect. The policies really need to change concerning Seniors. These are students that will never get another chance. Students that have reached the end and then come out with nothing. It’s truly unfair and very heartbreaking to witness my sister experience this. But in the end GOD has the final say! GOD knows what’s best for my sister and she will have a testimony in the end. I have her back and she has my full support. I am my sisters keeper.
Nevaeh supported: Revisit the Selection Process for the Archer High School Varsity Cheerleading TeamAs a former parent of Archer High School I thought these issues would have been handled by now. So many parents are afraid to speak up for their children. It’s good to see this parent actually fighting for her child’s rights. It’s definitely about who they like when choosing the team. The tryout process has always been compromised and the coach has always been unfair to these students. Sad to see it hasn’t been corrected.
Ruse supported: Revisit the Selection Process for the Archer High School Varsity Cheerleading TeamWe as parents have to advocate with no fear for our children! This seems so wrong what this school is allowing. I pray it works out.
Leandra supported: Revisit the Selection Process for the Archer High School Varsity Cheerleading TeamThis young lady shouldn’t have to go through this her Senior year. My heart goes out. I definitely say the coach needs a lesson on morals and ethics, this seems to be a personal issue for whomever this coach is. As a coach myself I could never imagine making a decision like this.
