I am currently going thru this "Family Court" system. What a crock of BS! It is so gender bias, I was basically robbed of 2 vacations with our daughter. Shannon John of Lake Forest, CA, filed 2 ex parte cases, can you imagine 1 day prior to my week long set vacation with our daughter. I was required to meet with a investigator because of some allegations and she saw it for what it was, a comment I made without using good judgement. Basically the ex parte was over ruled, now when she filed the second one, she did it to the same judge Daphne Scott in room L71 at the Lamoureux Court, with the same 6 month old evidence that was ruled as nothing but for some reason on this trip it was considered as valid? This being at Christmas time with a 9 year old daughter and I was issued a restraining order against me to the tune of no calls, no emails, NO CONTACT from December 19th to January 8th. Some judge is going to tell me the best interest of my child? I don't think so, Family Court where you are guilty until proven innocent basically with no evidence from the claimer. Hey Daphne Scott I hope you enjoyed your Christmas vacation with your kids, you robbed me of mine because you are to lazy to open a file. Something has to be done, and DCSS? Don't get me started on that one.REPORT COMMENTS

Family court systems and the agencies within them are corrupt and have way too much power. They are destroying families, including my own family. Those involved with family court should have to go by the same constitutional processes as any other court. That is why the Constitution was developed in the first place, to protect the citizen from state-ism.REPORT COMMENTS

Wow, really? Please understand that I don't for one minute believe everyone is like this, no it is just a special group we will say that practice this and make it known that they just don't care what anyone thinks. I have witnessed things with my own eyes and ears that did not affect me, so I was not biased in any regard. I have seen a Judge totally disregard hard forensic evidence, medical and forensic expertise along with psychiatric experts that were highly viewed for their standards. I have also seen the same judge yell and demean a parent to the point of tears just because they could. When this one mother tried to object and state a case law upheld by the US Supreme Court, the Judge replied to this mother, "I don't care because I am the Judge and I can do whatever I want because this is my court". Actually this specific Judge has done just that prior to this case by granting a divorce to two men in her court room even though it wasn't recognized in Texas. Still I am not them, I don?t know their hearts or their motives, but it was clear what the outcome was to be no matter what this mother showed the court or the judge. There may be things I do not know, but what I do know is specific cases are assigned the same experts; same social worker, same ad-litem, same therapist, same psychologist and psychiatrist. The outcome to me is baffling with the preponderance of evidence clearly showing the exact opposite. I have seen total biased by a judge, social worker, and an ad-litem to the point where everyone else in the court room could even see it; all three of them just seemed to rub it in and almost mock the parent right in courtroom. Judicial Conduct, rules of professional conduct for attorney's and Ethical Standards and practices that I know for a fact are to be upheld by anyone in the Medical or Clinical field; and I am just speaking in regards to i the cases I speak of. Due Process, rights, amendments, blind justice; they just have not existed in the cases I speak of. I didn't believe it in the beginning, but after witnessing it, reading some cases, and speaking to advocate's all over; it is an absolute disgrace that this is allowed to go on as much as it does, in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND TO LITTLE CHILDREN, HELPLESS VICTIMS. Our Country is always helping out and defending the violated rights of people in other Countries; maybe we could work on the children, parents, and families whose lives have been destroyed by their loss of rights. I really pray that the Big Guys that run our State and our fabulous Country can do something for our people in the US that are having their rights violated on a daily basis. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts and feelings from my personal exposure to the Dallas Family Court.REPORT COMMENTS

My girlfriend is going through a terrible divorce in which she was abused, but yet forced by a restraining order to leave her house and children. Its been over a year and the only reason she has not overcome this battle is because the courts have refused to hear her out on a number of occasions due to adjournments and denying her right to file several Orders to Show Cause. Her children are suffering in the care of a negligent and unloving father and the courts are preventing her from regaining custody, which it should be noted, was recommended by a court appointed evaluator.REPORT COMMENTS

Family Courts are heavily biased to women, and often allow them to not be held accountable and mandate the males carry the entirety of the burden of proof. even if the woman is a domestic battererREPORT COMMENTS

deprived of my constitutional rights by a vindictive ex boyfriend for reporting his sexual misconduct at fire station 63 in cypress ca. a pink hello kitty note containing no threat (written after he and his new girlfriend came into my work and harassed ME) is NOT domestic violence and NOT how these laws were intended to be used. the pink hello kitty note used as "evidence" that he was in fear for his life wished him and the new girlfriend well. is that enough to place a "reasonable" person in fear for their life?REPORT COMMENTS

Denying anyone a proper due process if definitely a violation of a person's civil rights whereby charges should be filed with the FBI under Title 18 Section 242: Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S. This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race. Acts under "color of any law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, in addition to law enforcement officials, individuals such as Mayors, Council persons, Judges, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs. Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and if bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire shall be fined or imprisoned up to ten years or both, and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.REPORT COMMENTS

A family contacted Child Protective Services after their son was choked until nearly unconscious by his genetic father during an unsupervised visit. Lawyers were contacted and the case went to court. It was determined an ad litem attorney needed to be appointed. There is a judge in San Antonio, TX in the 57th Precinct, Antonia Arteaga. Because the counselors and attornies on both sides of the case involved are financial supporters of this judge I would think judging without bias would be impossible. I see it as a conflict of interest. They would meet behind closed doors and come out and dictate what was to be done. No court reporter even after multiple direct requests. Therefore, the family bringing the case to court loses in the best interest of the child. What woman would judge against the custodial parent, a mother, when the genetic father is a convicted felon and has a history of domestic violence. The mother, with a clean record, is being treated as if she choked her son. One of the counselor's made a recommendation in a case a few years ago where the child was given back to a parent with known criminal behavior. That child was murdered by that parent approximately 3 months later. Who holds these people accountable? This case has nothing to do with why the family went to court---to protect the child. The behavior of these 'professionals' is, at best, questionable and a misrepresentation of the legal system. After seeing and hearing what they consider justice and law I would not want any of them to judge a hot dog eating contest. The lawyers should be disbarred. The counselors should not be allowed to evaluate and make recommendations without themselves being evaluated. The judge should not be allowed to 'serve'. The symbol of justice, the lady with the scales and blindfold is more like deaf, dumb and blind. In the end, a child's life has been placed directly in harms way. The mother has been denied due process based on bias. The attorney is sabotaging the case by 'leaking' information to the opposing counselor. Completely ignoring the statutes he's been sworn to... attorney and client confidentiality. They call this justice...REPORT COMMENTS
