We hereby demand:
1. Stop Title IV-D funding to all States immediately. The financial incentive for the Family Courts to collect child support have proven to corrupt legislation and destroy lives. (Title IV-D is our Social Security funds which every tax payer contributes to) It is proven that these family court systems take advantage of and misappropriate these funds.
2. Prevent the Family court system from extending and delaying court proceedings to “bleed the victims dry” of funding and line the pockets of our community judges and attorneys.
3. Offer pro bono and free legal representation for any party whom may not be able to afford legal fee’s. Any opposing party who files motions to prolong the process shall be solely responsible for all court costs and fee’s as a result
4. All families whom have been affected by the faulty court system deserve retribution and justice. Lets pass laws to protect the most important fundamentals of life….Family. Protect our children and loved ones from experiencing this injustice. Our families and children are valuable, and definitely not replaceable. Lets Protect the children who are innocent in all of this.
5. Studies across the nation have revealed that children who grow up with both parents, healthy and involved in their lives, develop into much healthier and happier adults. It drastically reduces the risk of parents committing suicide, children committing suicide, parents becoming homeless, runaway children, drug addicted parents and children, gangs and violent crimes.
The Above rules and reform actions are the TRUE best interest of the child. We the people, demand that these changes become implemented immediately and that all agents of the Family Court System, Divisions of health and the like, are held accountable for all the damages that have been caused by the current corrupt and unjust system.
