The critical one is that they are safe and loved. \u00a0But another is that they have strong moral values. \u00a0And as any caring parent can tell you, teaching kids values creates conflict. \u00a0In cases of PA, many of us feel stripped of our parental right to teach values. \u00a0I believe this is untrue. \u00a0Children simply need to feel safe\u00a0<em>first<\/em>.<\/p>\n  <p>Loving ourselves and our children should not need to compete with the needs of our spouse past the point of never regaining equilibrium. \u00a0And so the ultimate question in any loving relationship is when to stop giving because we\u00a0<em>believe<\/em>\u00a0we\u00a0will receive nothing in return. \u00a0The end result being three possible scenarios:<\/p>\n  <p>1. We escape our relationships prematurely because we fear the slightest of signs (including anger). \u00a0Escaping could be physical, emotional or both. \u00a0Borderline is a common label here.<\/p>\n  <p>2. We continually pour love into a bottomless abyss believing that the equilibrium will return when, in fact, it will not.<\/p>\n  <p>3. Our relationship returns to equilibrium and we experience both love and the satisfaction of sustaining the relationship.<\/p>\n  <p>Love is perseverance beyond our own fears\u00a0and losing people we love is part of life.<\/p>\n  <p>Love is a great strategy in getting our kids\u00a0but people\u00a0need to reflect on their own role in their loving relationships.<\/p>\n  <p>&ldquo;Giving without expecting anything in return&rdquo; is both a valid definition for\u00a0love and\u00a0an\u00a0abuse victim. \u00a0And the only element differentiating the two is our own perspective.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Daily Archives: September 15, 2014<\/h1>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/category\/prewalk\/\" title=\"View all posts in Prewalk\" rel=\"category tag\">PREWALK<\/a>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/prewalk\/subject-of-subjectivity\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">SUBJECT OF SUBJECTIVITY<\/a><\/h1>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/prewalk\/subject-of-subjectivity\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">SEPTEMBER 15, 2014<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/prewalk\/subject-of-subjectivity\/#respond\" title=\"Comment on Subject of Subjectivity\">LEAVE A COMMENT<\/a>\n  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eggs_square.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751im_\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eggs_square-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"eggs_square\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n  <p>The\u00a0family courtroom has become an extremely subjective environment mostly due to lack of oversight. \u00a0The exact same laws are frequently used in completely different ways even by the same judge on the same day in the same courtroom.<\/p>\n  <p>If it wasn&rsquo;t a tragedy, it would be a comedy. \u00a0Sometimes I feel like my chances of increased custody come down to whether the judge slept well the night before or ate a good breakfast.<\/p>\n  <p>Remember the old TV courtroom dramas where attorneys would quote landmark cases to make their point? \u00a0Not in family court. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because\u00a0<strong>everything is subjective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n  <p>If you want to reform family courts you need to eliminate subjectivity. \u00a0As it stands, the judges already have the power to override virtually anything that they choose so the only way to insure our laws are carried out as intended is to remove subjectivity.<\/p>\n  <p>This is a extremely simple task but requires writing laws which are a far cry from the norm. \u00a0Laws need to be:<\/p>\n  <strong>Dichotomous<\/strong><br \/>\n    This is essential. \u00a0We can swiftly make things happen when the judge has two choices. \u00a0This is why I am a strong proponent of an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150302101751\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/ae5050\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Annual Elective\u00a050\/50 custody law<\/a>. \u00a0As a sweeping generalization, it will force the courts to do more harm than good. \u00a0Judges have only two choices:\n  <ol>\n    <li>Deem there is enough evidence to support physical or sexual harm to the kids, or<\/li>\n    <li>Split custody 50\/50<\/li>\n  <\/ol>\n  <strong>Concise<\/strong><br \/>\n    This issue cuts across all laws and government entities. \u00a0Our ice caps are rapidly melting and the best we can do is spend our time adding unnecessary wording to laws to insure their review, reading and the ensuing debate take forever.\n  <p>The First Amendment was drafted in 1791 and has served us well ever since (in places it&rsquo;s enforced, anyways). \u00a0Read it and weep: 45 words.<\/p>\n  <blockquote>\n    <strong>Amendment I<\/strong><br \/>\n      Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.\n  <\/blockquote>\n  <p>I am extremely optimistic about Divorce Corp and dozens of other organizations making headway in getting laws on the books.

Like AIDS, the numbers may only be tens of thousands of children for the moment but it is growing each day.<\/p>\n  <p>Damaged kids of unequitable divorce custody arrangements (including total elimination of one parent) are more suseptible to poverty, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, financial devistation, violence and trauma. There is considerable statistical evidence to back this up.<\/p>\n  <p>It is irresponsible for the HHS to look away when the word &ldquo;divorce&rdquo; appears since half the marriages of the population you serve have been victims of it.<\/p>\n  <p>I realize that turning any ship takes strength and time. I am hopeful you have the courage to chart a course towards a better future for us all. Please actively support equitable custody laws for the safety and health of our kids.<\/p>\n  <p>You have both the power and responsibility to do what is right. Protecting our children from harm should be your objective even if that harm originates from our government itself. Our founding fathers knew a system of checks and balances would make our nation strong. The judicial branch needs to be put in check.

Most parents pressing on in selfless observation that accomplishing that goal will likely never save their own kids. They&rsquo;re already in the loss column.

A group of fighters banned in a David vs Goliath battle take on family courts at a grassroots level hoping to be the first generation to gain something for having the audacity to speak out.

Non-custodial parents no longer have this luxury for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n        <p><strong>#1 We Can&rsquo;t Control Our Income<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p>Anything, at any moment, can be brought to court by our exes to wreak havoc on financial planning. \u00a0No need to belabor this point.<\/p>\n        <p><strong>#2 We Can&rsquo;t Control Custody<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p>Abusive exes use custody as a means of control.<\/p>\n        <p><strong>Most obvious: Blocking custody<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p>A court ordered custody schedule is nearly meaningless while police officers continually refuse to get involved. \u00a0So while other families jovially plan their holidays, divorced couples frequently avoid the topic merely hoping the kids will actually arrive.<\/p>\n        <p>In addition to the heartbreak, there are financial risks in making any plans when you are blocked from your kids.<\/p>\n        <p>It is not uncommon for victims of parental alienation to spend thousands in plane tickets and hotel reservations in anticipation of their childrens&rsquo; arrival to simply be denied visitation altogether.<\/p>\n        <p>Divorce savvy parents simply stop making plans that can not be changed or cancelled last minute.<\/p>\n        <p>Last winter we made summer plans in anticipation of having our kids.

boundless energy continues to be a driving source for the program&rsquo;s success.<\/p>\n  <p>It is with deepest regrets that I must inform you that the program has a major flaw: it abuses children.\u00a0 I know off hand that seems like a bold statement.\u00a0 It is also a true one.<\/p>\n  <p>You see, Joint Youth Ministry is on a quest to help children in need.\u00a0 So its success is tied to\u00a0<em>identifying<\/em>\u00a0children in need.\u00a0 That is exactly the type of scenario a parental alienator needs to spin their magic.<\/p>\n  <p>Parental alienators will stop at nothing to forcibly remove the other parent from a child&rsquo;s life.\u00a0 That includes telling JYM staff whatever is necessary to coax them into helping strip the other parent away with unsubstantiated stories of abuse or neglect.<\/p>\n  <p>Here are some the key problems that need to be resolved at JYM from my perspective:<\/p>\n  <p><strong>#1 JYM isn&rsquo;t interested in the Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>If someone walks into JYM and spins a story of woe \u2013 especially one where children are at risk \u2013 there is little done to substantiate the facts.\u00a0 The knee jerk reaction is to protect the kids.<\/p>\n  <p>Not all scary stories of threatening parents are true.\u00a0 Following one side of a marital conflict is a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n  <p><strong>#2 JYM doesn&rsquo;t understand or recognize Parental Alienation<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>This is common.\u00a0 Society in general is just beginning to understand parental alienation.\u00a0 One of the most difficult concepts to grasp is that children naturally\u00a0<em>cling to and validate their abuser<\/em>.<\/p>\n  <p>There is some decent videos if you would like a bit more info on parental alienation, the courts, and how this is counterintuitive:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161029201403\/https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pCWYzl9cIMg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pCWYzl9cIMg<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161029201403\/https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVLVtj3cN74\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVLVtj3cN74<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161029201403\/https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4N1sj8zOtXU&amp;t=4m20s\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4N1sj8zOtXU&amp;t=4m20s<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p><strong>#3 JYM will actively participate in divorces<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>Years ago I showed up at my ex&rsquo;s house for a planned visitation.\u00a0 I simply knocked on the front door.\u00a0 My ex&rsquo;s reaction was to call the police.\u00a0 I calmly sat on the doorstep and waited for the police to arrive, explained the situation and when they recommended I get a court order, I left.\u00a0 The hysteria behind the event was generated by my ex.<\/p>\n  <p>During the event, my ex put someone at JYM on the phone with my daughter to pray with her because &ldquo;she was scared that I had arrived&rdquo;.\u00a0 JYM came to the rescue and became intimately involved in a divorce they knew nothing about.<\/p>\n  <p>Later in the case, JYM provided onsite babysitting for my ex at the divorce courthouse showing their support for her side.\u00a0 These types of interactions are subtle forms of parental alienation and build cases in the kids&rsquo; minds that the other parent must be in the wrong.<\/p>\n  <p><strong>#4 JYM isn&rsquo;t Honoring Thy Father<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>Regardless of what my ex and our broken Family Courts say, JYM should be accountable to the word of God.\u00a0 This is the main reason I have not been an active participant in organized religion since I was young: hypocrisy.<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>I am a loving, nurturing parent<\/li>\n    <li>I have no criminal record<\/li>\n    <li>I don&rsquo;t abuse drugs or alcohol<\/li>\n    <li>I have no history of any type of abuse to anyone<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p>Due to my ex, a broken Family Court system and Joint Youth Ministry, I have been completely, forcibly removed from my children for the next three years of their lives.\u00a0 The scenario is unethical, Unconstitutional and abusive to both my children and myself.<\/p>\n  <p>Several men in prison on felonies currently have more access to their kids than I do.<\/p>\n  <p>Our situation would be comical if it weren&rsquo;t so tragic.<\/p>\n  <p>JYM hopes to feed the homeless.\u00a0 Yet they support a divorce system that eliminate fathers while driving them into homelessness.<\/p>\n  <p>Lisa Jacobs avoids my emails because it allows her to believe the only side of the story she wants to hear;

My name is Patrick Glynn. Over the past year and a half, I&rsquo;ve done two Walks for Lost Kids \u2013 over 1,000 miles in total to help bring awareness to parental alienation and the need for Family Court reform.<\/p>\n  <p>Dozens of people have joined me along the way sharing their personal stories. Many have been completely alienated from their children.<\/p>\n  <p>While on my walks, I&rsquo;ve amassed a library of videos trying to clearly explain to the people in your lives that you \u2013 in fact \u2013 are not insane. The system is insane, unethical, Unconstitutional and just plain inhumane.<\/p>\n  <p>While awareness of these problems is at an all-time high, we are still just scratching the surface on the changes that need to occur to protect adults and children alike from the abuses of Family Court. A few states have made some modest ground in preventing the complete elimination of a parent. We&rsquo;ll take small victories as they occur.<\/p>\n  <p>But at this moment in time, our greatest task is simply continuing to build awareness. The humiliation of being stripped of our kids, called deadbeats and\/or driven into poverty to simply &ldquo;be parents&rdquo; keeps the majority of us silent; hoping for a change.<\/p>\n  <p>But hoping is never enough. It is our relentless, in-your-face movement that the courts fear the most. It is evident in their attempts to exert their unchecked power in silencing us or sanctioning us for simply coming to the public with the truth: the American Family Courts are both illegal and abusive.<\/p>\n  <p>April 25th, Parental Alienation Awareness Day is upon us once again. And in anticipation, I have planned my third Walk for Lost Kids starting in San Jose and ending in San Francisco the week before April 25th.<\/p>\n  <p>Most of the walk is short 2 to 3 mile segments. Either signup online to JOIN THE WALK download the timetable and show up.<\/p>\n  <p>The Family Courts are counting on the fact that they have us too intimidated to speak up. But when enough of us gather to force the world to hear our collective voice, change will come rapidly.<\/p>\n  <p>Please join the walk and reunite a generation of children who have been forcibly stripped of loving parents.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Daily Archives: April 17, 2016<\/h1>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161029191712\/http:\/\/www.ae5050.com\/walk\/category\/prewalk-2016\/\"

ABC 10 coverage, AB2354 and family court reform status, I need to make a very important point: This is a\u00a0<strong>war<\/strong>.\u00a0 Men, women and children are literally dying at the hands of Unconstitutional, unethical family court proceedings. Millions of families and children are effected.\u00a0 I use whatever tools I have at my disposal to implement change.<\/p>\n    <p>That said, my strategies harshly target the media itself when it falls silent on critical issues.\u00a0 Both ABC and Lilia Luciano are a key force in breaking the media silence.\u00a0 When they speak out, they are heros.\u00a0 When they remain dormant, they are the enemy.\u00a0 I&rsquo;d apologize but it comes with the territory.\u00a0 Stand up for mankind (yes\u2026women too).<\/p>\n    \n      <iframe src=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https\/www.facebook.com\/lilialuciano\/videos\/317420668808714\/&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" scrolling=\"No\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n    \n    <p><strong>Number One \u2013 Thanks<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>Thank you for putting Lilia Luciano back on this issue.\u00a0 I do not pretend to have insight into how ABC prioritizes news issues.\u00a0 However, I am appreciative of media who recognize how critical this story is.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Number Two \u2013 Title IV<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>AB2354 sounds juicy since it&rsquo;s local.\u00a0 That said, the story of killing Title IV is hot.\u00a0 The highest levels of government are meeting next month to discuss Title IV.\u00a0 You&rsquo;ll look silly if you are not up on this.\u00a0 If Title IV is reformed, shared parenting laws will sweep the nation overnight.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Number Three \u2013 Philosophy<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>Ultimately, the goal should be to minimize government interference in our lives.\u00a0 On the surface, many laws seem to make sense by punishing bad behavior.\u00a0\u00a0 However, every law we add to the family court books creates yet another need for attorneys in order for us to get justice.\u00a0 Attorneys are the main reason we have injustice.\u00a0 Two elements would drastically improve family court proceedings:<\/p>\n    <p>1. Minimize family court \u2013 Do whatever it takes to reduce everything from procedures to rules &amp; regulations from the normal flow of divorce.<\/p>\n    <p>2.

We are outraged at the focus in light of decades of silence on family court matters.<\/p>\n  <p>We have a big opportunity here but we need a little marketing savvy. Please allow me a moment to explain.<\/p>\n  <p>The way the media currently sees the issues:<\/p>\n  <ol>\n    <li>Problem A: Immigration abuses<\/li>\n    <li>Problem B: Family court abuses<\/li>\n  <\/ol>\n  <p>While it is extremely subtle, we need to change the structure to:<\/p>\n  <p>Problem: Gov&rsquo;t Child Abuse Programs<\/p>\n  <ol>\n    <li>Immigation<\/li>\n    <li>Family courts<\/li>\n  <\/ol>\n  <p>I believe this minor transition is\u00a0<strong>critical<\/strong>\u00a0to getting the family court story out there. Why? Because if the problem is seen as immigration, when that is fixed, the story is dead and gone.<\/p>\n  <p>If instead, the problem is Government Child Abuse Programs, once the immigration thing sorts itself out,\u00a0<strong>the problem is not solved.<\/strong>\u00a0The media will be hungry to ride the wave on the story.<\/p>\n  <p>The specific naming is less important than the fact we\u00a0<strong>completely remove the word immigration<\/strong>\u00a0from everything we discuss. In an ideal world, we all agree on specific wording. I&rsquo;ve worked in this arena way too long to understand the impossibility of that request.<\/p>\n  <p>I would not take the time to convey such a subtle point if I didn&rsquo;t see it as critical to our success.<\/p>\n  <p>Hang in there!

filler content.<\/p>\n  <p>Lilia Luciano is a dying breed; an\u00a0<em>investigative journalist<\/em>\u00a0and she&rsquo;s doing a stellar job of trying to continually report the statewide and national problems.\u00a0 If you do anything, send her a letter of appreciation.\u00a0 Her work is making an impact.<\/p>\n  <p>That said, I personally have a lot of input based on her work.\u00a0 I believe what I am sharing here has value to the community at large.\u00a0 I wish I had the time to produce a multimedia version of this content.\u00a0 I may opt to reproduce it in that format in the near future.<\/p>\n  <p>Some points for consideration:<\/p>\n  <p><strong>How do you differentiate between Abuse vs. Fear of Abuse?<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>Scenario #1 \u2013 A child is being abused<\/p>\n  <p>Scenario #2 \u2013 A parent believes the child is at risk of abuse but is not (fear of abuse).\u00a0 This likely leads to the fearful parent alienating the child (causing the child to irrationally fear or otherwise reject the other parent)<\/p>\n  <p>It&rsquo;s extremely important to recognize that Fear of Abuse leading to PA is\u00a0<strong>also child abuse<\/strong>\u00a0since the outcome is removal of a loving parent.<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>The courts do not have the tools to differentiate Abuse from Fear of Abuse.<\/li>\n    <li>Abuse isn&rsquo;t always provable<\/li>\n    <li>Child testimony should virtually never be used.\u00a0 Children are easily coerced or brainwashed.\u00a0 Statistically children choose the abuser \u2014 ironically, to avoid abuse.<\/li>\n    <li>Abusers have a better skill set for winning in court.<br \/>\n      They calmly, charismatically appear as the parent who has their act together.\u00a0 Meanwhile passionate, nurturing parents are traumatized by courts and present as overemotional \u2014 on issues that it is reasonable to be emotional about.<\/li>\n    <li>Parents&rsquo; fears of being permanently separated from kids, bankrupted or imprisoned in the process are overwhelming stresses.\u00a0 These are legitimate fears of anyone in divorce court since the courts and lawyers have way too much power and their decisions are made behind closed doors.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p><strong>Stepping way back, how can divorce be handled without family court?<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>It can and often does.\u00a0 The reason family court exists is primarily as a tool of abuse by someone willing to &ldquo;pay for justice&rdquo;.<\/p>\n  <p>Abuse allegations could be held in criminal court with juries and other protections of justice.<\/p>\n  <p><strong>How quickly can we fix courts to save kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>The largest threat currently to children is\u00a0<strong>compete removal<\/strong>\u00a0of the nurturing parent.\u00a0 This is happening frequently as judges guess which parent is better (assuming they aren&rsquo;t just paid off; which many are).<\/p>\n  <p>It is by no means a long term solution but a child with an abuser 50% of the time has a fighting chance as opposed to a parent who is stranded with an abuser 100% of the time (includes abuse by parental alienation \u2013 removal of the other parent).<\/p>\n  <p>The courts need to come clean with the fact they are failing at identifying abusive scenarios.\u00a0 Judge and lawyer egos won&rsquo;t allow that rather obvious analysis.<\/p>\n  <p><strong>Family courts operate on a guilty until proven innocent basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>The courts fear retaliation for wrong decisions.\u00a0 So the majority now take\u00a0<strong><em>any claim<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0of abuse as a default guilt until innocence is proved.\u00a0 This is a complete reversal of our law system for the &ldquo;best interests of the children&rdquo;.<\/p>\n  <p>Vicious parents and lawyers are willing to set up the other parent as guilty to win the case.<\/p>\n  <p><strong>Some other advice to anyone analyzing this stuff:\u00a0 Stop reading court cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p>The reason dysfunctional courts have remained in power for decades is that any family court argument can easily be pushed into a dead end, case specific &ldquo;he said, she said&rdquo;

Lately his grassroots campaign meant driving to the Capitol and fighting for your rights to your children under HB4113. As a retired veteran, he continues to serve \u2013 protecting kids from the horrible, frequent practice of denying children access to a parent during divorce. The family court systems in Illinois need to put solid shared parenting policies in place and Kash understands the system well enough to know that does not happen by sitting at home.<\/p>\n  <p>Kash put the word on the street that this bill was important. 36 hours later the number of online supporters had jumped from 800 to 1300. His heartfelt speech wasn&rsquo;t about getting your vote or looking sharp at a press conference. It was about contributing.<\/p>\n  <p>But you are doomed not to hear this story because Kash Jackson&rsquo;s gubernatorial cadency is under the Libertarian flag and the mass media can&rsquo;t be bothered.<\/p>\n  <p>So while Democratic and Republican front runners continue to get the full attention of the media, Kash is busy working hard to bring what people in Illinois want:\u00a0<strong>Change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n  <p>Follow Kash Jackson&rsquo;s campaign at:<\/p>\n  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20181007003037\/http:\/\/kashjacksonforillinois.com\/\"

\/><\/a><\/p>\n  <p>NFL players take the media spotlight regardless of what side of first amendment issues they pick.\u00a0 At the end of the day, they may be denied a lucrative contract but ultimately they&rsquo;re still free.<\/p>\n  <p>Activists against family court corruption aren&rsquo;t so lucky.<\/p>\n  <p>Dr. Carlos Rivera returns to court today to the very real possibility that his recent decision to speak out against family court injustice last week in Washington DC will result in imprisonment.\u00a0 No media.\u00a0 No fanfare.\u00a0 Just Unconstitutional retaliations made behind closed doors where no one pays attention.<\/p>\n  <p>Stripped of a driver&rsquo;s license, passport, every dime and any ability to practice medicine, Dr. Carlos still speaks up and the family court system doesn&rsquo;t like it.\u00a0 They don&rsquo;t want you to know the extent of their unchecked power; that they are not accountable to anyone: oversight, checks and balances \u2013 not even the media.<\/p>\n  <p>Family courts have learned to sidestep first amendment issues by carefully spinning each divorce case as a one-off anomaly that doesn&rsquo;t concern the general population.\u00a0 They neatly declare parents insane or uncooperative with court procedures and avoid anyone putting together the bigger picture: Federal Title IV-D funding.<\/p>\n  <p>At a time when states find it harder and harder to balance their budgets, family courts are a windfall for the states.\u00a0 As long as they keep a consistent imbalance in custody scenarios, child support flows and the states get kickbacks for their help.\u00a0 Of course, parents forcibly removed from their children and dragged through the system don&rsquo;t see government intervention as &ldquo;help&rdquo;.<\/p>\n  <p>And so Dr. Rivera heads to court this morning unsure of whether his choice to voice his first amendment rights will land him in jail.\u00a0 The outcome will not be a surprise.\u00a0 At this point there&rsquo;s only one thing that could surprise him: mass media coverage.<\/p>\n  <p><a
