Petitions Involving Family Court Injustices

The Family Court System operates behind closed doors with special access granted.
The American people have been shut out!
An American in the United States can walk into any court proceedings in a Criminal Courtroom and or proceedings in a Civil Courtroom and sit in the audience... 
BUT...try that in Family Court.

Family Courts Routinely Deprive Children Of Parent

img_088221SOCIAL & DOMESTIC ISSUES


Children’s rights should include life with both parents

It would seem that maintaining the father’s love and authority would be crucial when a child’s life is turned upside down by divorce. Yet, family courts routinely deprive children of one parent, usually the father, restricting his time with his child to about six days a month.

The courts pompously assert they are invoking "the best interest of the child," but how can it be in the best interest of children to make them forfeit one parent?

We hear many pious comments about the need for fathers to be involved in the upbringing of their children. This need should be even more important in times of emotional stress, such as divorce, than the need for fathers to play ball with their kids in an intact family.

Some states are considering legislation that establishes a presumption of shared parenting whereby divorced parents divide equally both time and authority over the children. This enables children to maintain strong ties to both parents.

When primary or sole custody is given to the mother, the father becomes merely a visitor in the child’s life (that’s why it’s called "visitation"), whose only value is to mail a paycheck and be an occasional baby sitter. The father loses his parental authority and fades out of his own child’s life.
An argument is sometimes made that shuttling back and forth between two homes might be upsetting or a nuisance, but there is no more shuttling with equal custody (where parents, for example, get alternating weeks) than with the typical mother-custody/father-visitation schedule (where the father gets two weekends a month plus some Wednesday evenings). Do the math; both plans have about the same number of shuttles between homes.
An argument is also made that giving custody primarily to the mother promotes stability, but the need for stability is really a reason for shared custody. The stability of parental relationships is a great deal more important than contact with material things.
Americans have always assumed that parents share decision-making authority because only parents can determine what is in the best interest of their own children. As recently as 2000, the Supreme Court in Troxel v. Granville reaffirmed this principle and rejected the argument that a judge could supersede a fit parent’s judgment about his child’s "best interest."
Nevertheless, in what Stephen Baskerville calls a "silent revolution," millions of divorced parents have had their fundamental right to decide what is in the best interest of their own children taken away and given instead to a vast array of government officials and so-called "experts" such as judges, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, child protective services, child support enforcement agents, mediators, counselors, parenting classes, and feminist groups.
This shift began in the 1970s after the spread of unilateral divorce was followed by the creation of a giant federal child support-enforcement bureaucracy. The notion that this mix of government officials and government-appointed advisers can dictate what is the best interest of the child rather than a child’s own parents is how liberals and feminists are fulfilling their goal that "it takes a village (i.e., the government) to raise a child."


An example of the bias against fathers can be seen in the Responsible Fatherhood Act of 2007 recently introduced by Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Evan Bayh, D-Ind. The bill mentions "child support" 65 times, but not once does it mention parenting time, custody, visitation, or access denial.
Baskerville’s new book, "Taken into Custody: The War Against Fatherhood, Marriage, and the Family" (Cumberland House, $24.95), provides a copiously documented description of society’s injustices to children who have been deprived of their fathers and of fathers who have been deprived of their children. This book is a tremendous and much-needed report on how family courts and government policies are harming children.
It is a breakthrough for shared parenting that a noncustodial father, Robert Pedersen, was recently named runner-up in the nationwide Best Life Magazine’s "Hero Dad" Contest. Pedersen is only allowed 6 to 8 days a month with his two children from a previous marriage.
Pedersen has devised a novel way to demonstrate the importance of fathers to children of divorced parents. He is leading an "Equal Parenting Bike Ride" starting in Lansing, Mich., on Aug. 11 and culminating with an Aug. 18 rally in Washington, D.C.

Dear President Obama:
Dear Representative Diaz-Balart:
Dear Senator Nelson:
Dear Senator Rubio:
Dear Governor Scott:
I am a divorced FIT Father of a boy (from marriage) and a girl (unwed DNA proven bio-dad).
I have no problem paying child support as proven by my payment records.
That is until the Miami-Dade County 11th Judicial Circuit Family Court destroyed my life, and caused negligent infliction of severe emotional distress which has caused a "medically documented" injury by a Complex Sub-category of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In a nutshell I fear the Family Court. Additionally, I am the victim of medical malpractice by Psychiatrist Dr. Carter who has a case pending against him by the Florida Department of Health.
Reluctantly I filed for disability in 2010 and still have not prevailed despite the work of Social Security Advocates Binder and Binder. I had to filed bankruptcy in 2010; but that is typical (and statistically proven by the movie Divorce Corp released in Jan 2014) of anyone that has to fight in America's Family Courts.

Answer this simple question:
Why does the Broward County FL 17th Judicial Circuit Family Court have absolutely no concern (nor does his mom), since 2002 to today, to be in my son's life with joint custody?
Recently I appeared before Judge Dale C. Cohen on my motion requesting a continuance on contempt proceedings so I could take my son to the Pacific Northwest for a month during the summer. Honorable Judge Cohen said, "have a good time".
Thereby establishing my parental fitness.
And the Florida 11th Judicial Circuit Family Court denies any access (visitation/timesharing) with me, my son (her brother), my family to my daughter?? My daughter could've traveled with her brother and dad to see Mount Rainier, go to a Pow Wow, learned about Lewis and Clark, and so many things...
Zoraya would've loved it!!

All this happen when I did the right thing and hired a lawyer to file a Petition for Paternity  (Right to Parent my daughter). Case No. 2008-029595 began on December 4th, 2008. It continues today.

chance-to-be-a-dad-2015As of today the Florida 11th Judicial Circuit Family Court denies any access (visitation / timesharing)  with me, my son (her brother), my family to my daughter??  WHY???
This is Emotional Child Abuse...plain, simple, AND ESTABLISHED.

The case 2008-029595 of the Florida 11th Judicial Circuit is proof of Civil and Human Rights Violations. Not even the Department of Children and Families will respond to my plea to help me stop the proven emotional child abuse of my daughter Zoraya. Please help her or please help me to help her...I beg you!

David - Hialeah, FL 33012-3864

In June of 2004 my son's mom and I got divorced. I have known my son's mom since 1992.

I have known my daughter's mom since 1990 and we dated until 1994. In November of 2004 she contacted me and we reunited, dated, and lived together beginning in January of 2005. Our daughter was born in 2006.

We got engaged in Paris in October 2007. We broke up in June 2008 and I moved out. I focused on my work, my children, and family. As a District Sales Manager for a Multi-National Company I had to travel internationally every week between Mondays and Fridays. I only had the weekend for my children.


As we were still friends I was able to have normal time-sharing with our daughter (by mutual agreement) during the weekends that is until October 5th, 2008 (our daughter's 2nd birthday).


After spending a "family" day out (Mom, Dad, my son David, and our daughter Zoraya) celebrating Zoraya's birthday, mom tells me that "since she didn't need 'her' father Zoraya doesn't need me". Those words I will never forget.

After Zoraya's birthday, as promised, mom began to deny me any visit with our daughter. Mom served me with a Temporary Restraining Order on the 2nd week of October. During the DV hearing on October 27th, that mom and I attended without lawyers, mom and I admitted to Honorable Judge Cohn that "there were never any acts of domestic violence since we've known each other" and mom answered "no" when the Judge asked her if she felt I was a danger to her and or our daughter.


Honorable Judge Don S. Cohn denied and dismissed mom's petition stating "No Just Cause". The Judge never addressed how I was going to see our daughter leaving me in limbo and afraid of mom.
