Hello, I'm a loving and caring father, a clinical - psychiatric social worker, (by education, training and primary occupation), a divorced husband, and I was falsely accused of DV. I have a DVRO, which for the last two years has impeded my ability to obtain stable employment within my profession as a health care provider. My spouse (the courts have yet to sign off on the final divorce decree) hired an unethical family law attorney, then that attorney took full advantage of my spouses physical health and psychiatric condition, and despite my pleading to reconcile and go to marriage counseling to avoid divorce, her attorney adversely opposed this, orchestrated a false DV filing, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever aside from self hearsay, and now two years later I still am not able to attain gainful employment as a health care provider, which greatly impedes on my ability to optimally provide for my 7 y/o daughter. I am firm believer in the DVPA and I believe the act of DV is one of the most heinous acts one human being can commit against another. As a clinical - psychiatric social worker before the divorce, I counseled and consoled many women and men who survived DV. I have consoled and counseled many youth who have born witness to DV, or themselves have been subject to DV and abuse. So for me to be falsely accused of DV, no words can really describe my feelings aside from humiliation and anxiety and depression, and frustration. I was never charged with DV nor arrested. I have no criminal record, and yet my name and "DV/RO" show up n a law enforcement data base, so every time I apply for a city or county or gov position with any hospital or clinic, my candidacy is disqualified because the patient populations I have served are a protected vulnerable class, so I am red flagged...every single time...and I have done nothing wrong. My wife controlled all of the finances and has always had her own bank account through the duration of our marriage. My wife is also a software engineer, a very brilliant one at that, and so she made far more income then I ever did as a clinical - psych social worker. I was the primary parent and the stay at home dad and home care taker for the last two years of our six year marriage...I tended to our daughter, I cleaned the house, did the laundry, dishes, yard work, meals. My wife requested this of me, and I obliged, at the expense of my career and goals, and then she not only left me with nothing, the false DVRO makes it impossible for me to attain gainful employment in my chosen profession of which I worked long and hard for per my schooling and clinical training. The problem I have seen has been with the divorce attorney taking full advantage of the first person that is able to pay her, versus who is actually a legitimate client to legally represent and advocate for in a case. If I had hired my wife's family law attorney before my wife had. this same attorney would have fully advocated for me. ButREPORT COMMENTS

It is an outrage that a Father is kept from seeing his children. No one should ever have to fight this hard to see his kids, especially when he is active duty and has been kept from his kids that he sacrifices so much for.REPORT COMMENTS

The only reason these reforms have yet to be made is because of the divorce industry that promotes the conflict solely to increase their billing hours. Custody decision rarely have anything to do with the true best interest of the child.REPORT COMMENTS

I don't understand why father's are treated the way that they are when it comes to their kids. Not all father's are bad father's just like not all mother's are good mother's. I know plenty of father's who do more for their children. This needs to be changed ASAP.REPORT COMMENTS
