As a father currently navigating the family court system, I know firsthand the pain of being sidelined not because I’m unfit, but because the system is built on outdated assumptions that undermine fathers from the start.
I support the Present King Movement, powered by the Fatherhood Equity Project, because every child deserves their father and every father who’s willing to show up deserves the chance to do so.
I’m not just a former NFL athlete, I’m a Father, a Present King, and an Advocate. And I’m here to Reclaim the Crown, not just for myself, but for fathers and children across the nation who deserve better.
It’s time to raise the royal standard of fatherhood. Let’s change the system — and the story.
Supporting fathers in navigating custody and ensuring fairness in family court is crucial. As a father who has witnessed friends struggle to secure equal rights, I truly believe that empowering fathers is essential for fostering fairness and stability for families. Fathers deserve the resources, guidance, and support needed to advocate for their children and ensure they have an active, meaningful role in their lives. Equal representation and fairness in family court not only benefits the fathers but also promotes healthier, more balanced family relationships and better outcomes for children development. It’s time to recognize and address the barriers fathers face and provide the necessary support to help them succeed in these challenging situations. I am honored to sign this.
Childhood.....it is the ONE SINGULAR THING in all of humanity that is pure, that is genuine, it is supposed to be a time for learning, for growth and exploration, it is the one time period in a persons life that they are allowed to be worry free, yet here we sit as a whole and allow things to happen on a daily basis that no amount of therapy could ever erase, to than be told that the very information that you recalled that a child was made to live through again in vivid detail......that information wasnt good enough? No, it sounds like our system isnt good enough. Change it.
Even after providing evidence time after time this judge looked at us and said “I don’t care what proof you have I will never take these kids away from their mother.” This Judge has been biased during our entire child custody hearings and even though there are pending charges against the mother and the child is the victim the judge took away supervised visits and gave her overnights!! These children’s life’s are in constant danger and even were left home alone this past weekend while the mother went shopping!! The Judge told us if we bad talk about the mother again we will be hold in contempt! Even though we were just showing evidence from CYS that the mother was the perpetrator and there was findings of abuse!!! How many times can a child’s life be threatened with proof and nothing is being done about it?? We need a real job who wants to protect children not their abusers!!
I can’t even imagine if all the parent victims came out and told their story, just how many cases there would be. I’ve witnessed her abuse and lies in person. It is so sad how many families she has absolutely ruptured and how many children are still in with their abusive parent.
Thank you for posting this. Judge DeCostro allowed my sons to be taken from me because father accused me of swearing in to front of my kids and "talking negative" in October 2020. All after not being properly served a court order. I went 13 years as a hands on mom to 4 days a month. I fought with her, went through lawyers to have my military disability used against me (he's a veteran as well). My saving grace were these articles when I found them in Jul 2022. After a lot of push back I was able to move my case to Somerset where father and kids lived. I know have my oldest at home and father does not acknowledge him. I have been alienated by my 14 year old since Easter 2024 thanks to the corruption in Somserset County. I pray for all the parents and children.
This woman has created an impact on a dear friend of mine and I will not allow that sweet girl to suffer. She deserves a good life in a good environment. This judge should not have this position, especially with the hurt she causes. She should not be able to do this to so many victim leading to a worse condition, the lack of remorse saddens me. I pray for the families affected by this woman and I hope this cause becomes more known as well as what she does to children, forcing them to continue living with their abusers. My heart goes out to all the families and children.
I left when I genuinely believed my ex husband was going to hit me. I was told I should’ve stayed and let him hit me because I can’t prove almost.
My ex husband perjured himself in court. I was allowed to present no evidence- even though I had police reports.
He did not know their clothing sizes. He couldn’t remember their birthdays. Didn’t know their doctors or teachers. He activated the tracker on my vehicle without my permission. He and his family harassed me, including calling my boss to try to get me fired.
I still lost custody.
When I started crying she asked me if I was stable enough to have custody. My ex’s lawyer made all sorts of disparaging comments under her breath but I was the one threatened with contempt for crying.
When I came back next time, I made sure to speak calmly. I kept my tone even. She asked me if I was so cool about this, did I even care about my kids? Again, wasn’t allowed to submit evidence.
It is an absolute nightmare, I hope that the changes are coming! I stand with this mom because I myself am deprived from my daughter! In the most outrageous way with no opportunity to a trial! My child is gone, my savings are gone, my life and my family, reputation, health are ruined to the ground! It’s a nationwide epidemic and yes! It should be investigated and orosecuted immediately, so as all such outrage across the country!
BCDSS is something my children and I have had to survive, for the last 15 MONTHS they have held my children from me, housed them unsafely, neglected them, all over truancy. The attendance charge was dropped over a year ago, WHY do they get to keep my children as long as they see fit?
