Higher Destiny
We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth, there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the oceans, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.
This is her Grand Daughter Zoraya
In remembrance of my mom.

UNITED WE STAND FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS
Our mission is to help unite all parents groups into a single voice to change the gender biased, unfair, money driven and corrupt family legal system.
The "Divorce and Domestic Violence INDUSTRY" is out of control and is literally ruining the lives of millions of parents and children daily. Buckle your seat belts because what you are about to learn is a bit unbelievable.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the average custody battle now costs $78,000! This is a $50 billion industry that destroys children for profit because all the research shows that sole custody is harmful to children (see Fatherless Statistics page on left for proof and sources of this research), driving up social problems and pathologies 14,600%. This is the #1 social problem of our time because it is the root cause of at least 20 other social problems including: teen suicide, mass murder, crime, drug usage, parental suicide, teen pregnancy and even over 50% of all mental health problems in the U.S. today. The divorce industry is essentially a criminal racket that is destroying society for its profit motives! Literally!
To eliminate this problem both parents MUST have equal custody rights in EVERY divorce by default, unless there is real proof of harm to a child in front of a jury! The divorce system has become nothing but a cash cow and power machine for lawyer$, judge$ and other government bureaucrats.
This system hurts families and children every day for its own convenience and profit totally ignoring the fundamental rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. It is an ILLEGAL kangaroo court. These people have lost touch with "We the people . ."
Family courts today are not a solution for divorcing parents, but a hindrance to the process and very harmful to children and families. Most state family courts operate unconstitutionally, without regard to the highest laws of the land by ignoring supreme court rulings, case law and the many fundamental guarantees of the U.S. and state constitution. Calling them "kangaroo courts" would be too generous as kangaroo courts go through the motions to pretend there is justice and due process - family courts often issue "judgments" without a trial or even an evidentiary hearing, as required by the U.S. Supreme Court to even limit parental rights.
Judges generate "temporary orders" that almost always become permanent to lull you into the belief there will be "real due process" later. There is not any. Most often orders are 100% based on your personal plumbing, not anything that is appropriate given the best interests of children, which we know is almost always near equal time with both parents. Even fathers that are primary caregivers, or spend equal time parenting are generally forced out of their children's lives. In many states, like Massachusetts, there is an order for sole physical custody over 90% of the time! This has been proven by science to be the worst possible scenario for children.
This type of behavior by the courts is by definition tyranny.
Abuse of the people by the court system is why many left England for America. History is repeating itself. The courts are hurting families for the financial gain of states, lawyers, judges and a spiraling government bureaucracy. Basically it is run for the "insiders" not for the benefits of citizens and families.
Today men are treated like criminals in these courts, and not even believed, so that the judge can do whatever they want. You are guilty until proven innocent as a man, and innocent until proven guilty as a woman. This is illegal and in fact an act of treason by judges because they are intentionally ignoring the law.
Remain an Equal Parent to your Child!
Spouses and parent must work around the system and not feed it money. They must use mediators who are not lawyers and divide both children's time and assets fairly. Lawyers will bait you into fights and create an unequal playing field on purpose to generate legal fees. Some lawyers target 40% of your estate before they "let you settle". This is essentially a criminal conspiracy, fraud and anti-trust. It has become so common that they even think it is okay to do, when it is like a doctor injecting you with a disease so they can sell you a cure.

Exposing The Methods An Alienating Parent Uses To Brainwash Their Child.
Isolation is the KEY to Manipulation.
Brain Washing used to be associated exclusively with the act or practice of manipulating. The state of being manipulated. Shrewd or devious management, especially for one’s own advantage. Indirect control, as of an advisor; power to affect the opinions.
Parental Rights to End at the School Door?
“some members of the School Board argued the school’s duty in loco parentis – to stand in the parent’s place – essentially means that parents’ rights over their children end at the school door. No parent in Fairfax County would agree.”You probably wouldn’t agree, either. Unfortunately, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals already has. In its 2005 case Fields v. Palmdale [2], the court held that the parents’ fundamental right
“does not exist beyond the threshold of the school door.”In Palmdale, the issue was a graphic sex-ed curriculum. In Fairfax, it was interrogating students without notifying parents. But whatever the issue,
“once parents make the choice as to which school their children will attend, their fundamental right to control the education of their children is, at the least, substantially diminished. (Fields v. Palmdale)This should not be the case. Please act now to reverse this assault by big government courts against parental rights.
Then, pass this on! Every parent of a public school student needs to know the extent to which the courts have robbed them of their rights. Add the message to your Facebook page, or use the button to add it to any social network.
Every child has the right to be raised and represented by parents who love them, and not by disconnected government bureaucrats. Help us to preserve that right today!

When truth is buried underground it grows.
When truth is buried underground it grows, it chokes, it gathers such an explosive force than on the day it bursts out, it blows up everything with it.
However, a court-ordered psychological evaluation determined the allegations were false. The court agreed and awarded custody to the father. A few weeks later the mother picked up the children from school and disappeared for a year. She was caught, sent to jail for parental kidnapping, and the children returned to the father
Lying In Family Court by Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq.
When I became a family law attorney/mediator after a dozen years as a therapist, one of the biggest surprises was the extent of lying in Family Court: lies about income, assets and even complete fabrications of child abuse and domestic violence. Why would people lie so much, I wondered? How did they get away with it? The following is my psycho-social analysis of what I believe has become an epidemic:
Men lie: It was a sad phone call from a relatively new client. He informed me his father had just died. He had quit his job and was moving back east to wrap up his father's affairs. He asked me to tell his wife's attorney that he would not be able to pay child support for their three young children for a long time. (There was no support order yet.)
The next day, his wife's attorney called me back and described how upset his wife was to learn of her father-in-law's death. So upset, that she had called his father -- and had a nice chat!
Women lie: A mother involved in a custody battle told the court in dramatic detail about physical abuse at the hands of her husband. She even submitted reports of visits to doctors and emergency rooms for her bruises.
However, a court-ordered psychological evaluation determined the allegations were false. The court agreed and awarded custody to the father. A few weeks later the mother picked up the children from school and disappeared for a year. She was caught, sent to jail for parental kidnapping, and the children returned to the father
Societal Increase in Lying
Surveys show that lying has increased over the past decade. In 1999 alone: the President was tried in Congress for perjury; a popular journalist in Boston was publicly fired for fabricating heart-rending stories; and a scientist was exposed for falsifying research on a high-profile safety issue.

Incompetent and unscrupulous Family Court Experts enjoy immunity from malpractice claims
centre (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Professor Jane Ireland’s 2012 report detailing serious concerns about the quality of expert evidence from Family Court psychiatrists and psychologists – it found that over 20% of psychologists in family cases were unqualified and 65% of expert reports were either of ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ quality – is also mentioned in the Private Eye piece.
Redacted version of the Private Eye piece below:
“A gaping hole in the regulation of psychologists could put the public at risk from unscrupulous, inept or unaccountable ‘experts’.
Providing psychologists don’t use one of nine so-called ‘protected titles’ – for example, educational, clinical, or forensic – any can offer their services without the need to be registered and regulated by the U.K.’s watchdog, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Even if serious concerns or complaints are raised about them, they remain immune from investigation because they’re not registered.
Nowhere is the danger of the regulatory body’s impotence more starkly illustrated than in the courts, where it seems that unregistered, unqualified and potentially unfit psychologists can operate as ‘experts’ in even the most serious cases of murder, rape or child sexual exploitation. No-one illustrates this absurd Catch-22 better than ‘consultant psychologist’ [edited], who has acted as an expert in several high-profile cases, including the [edited] child grooming case, where a gang raped and trafficked underage girls.
[Edited], a trained educational psychologist who used to work in local government, has been the subject of at least four complaints, including manipulating data and acting beyond his qualifications and expertise. Three have not been investigated because he has never been registered with the HCPC. Because of the fourth, his application for registration in 2012 was refused, when he was judged to be ‘not of good character’.
According to his website, [edited] also acts in the family courts in sensitive child contact and care cases, in what looks like a clear breach of new guidelines from the Family Justice Council (a public body which advises on family justice matters) and the industry body the British Psychological Society (BPS). The guidelines state that family courts expect all psychologists acting as experts to be HCPC-registered unless they are academics.
In fact his website offers services in several of the areas of expertise covered by protected titles (educational, forensic, practitioner, counselling), again contrary to what the BPS says in its online directory of chartered psychologists (in which [edited] is listed). It says that ‘anyone offering services within these [protected title] areas must also be registered’ with the HCPC.
[Edited] website logo even uses the word ‘educational’ – but because he simply chooses to call himself a ‘consultant’, the HCPC maintains he is not misusing a protected title and thus it can’t act. It adds that statutory regulation and corresponding regulatory titles are decided by the government, and it’s for ministers to change them. The BPS, meanwhile, says it now only ‘advises’ on standards and best practice, ‘but where we are aware of gaps in regulation, we raise these with the regulator’ – i.e. the HCPC!
The BPS says it can’t comment on individual members, but adds that it has raised concerns that the general title ‘psychologist’ is not protected. It still seems happy to promote [edited], though.
As the HCPC admits, [edited] is not the only one dancing rings around registration. Prof. Jane Ireland – author of a damning 2012 study which triggered the recent family court reform, having found that one in five psychologists in family cases was working beyond their expertise and 65% of expert reports were either of ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ quality – tells the Eye: ‘All practising psychologists who act as expert witnesses should be regulated so that the public are protected’.
[Edited] was refused registration because of ‘concerns about his character’ after staff at [edited] Young offenders Institution asked in 2012 for proof of identity and, er, HCPC registration. It triggered lengthy and ‘inappropriate’ correspondence between [edited] and the jail. An HCPC regulatory panel threw out his appeal in 2013, saying he was completely unable to accept that his written outbursts had been unacceptable, that he had demonstrated no insight into the potential consequences and that he had shown no remorse. The panel said that he had displayed a similar attitude in communication with the HCPC itself, that it could not rule out a repetition of similar behaviour and that his conduct would ‘damage public confidence in the regulatory process’.
[Edited] response to the three complaints made by fellow psychologists has been to fire off counter-allegations, the irony being that those properly registered and regulated complainants then find themselves under HCPC investigation, while he escapes.
Thus, in the [edited] grooming case, [edited], a registered chartered psychologist, was so alarmed to find an unregistered educational psychologist, whom she considered neither qualified to reach his conclusions about an adult sex attacker nor completely open about those conclusions, that she complained to both the HCPC and the BPS. She was told neither could do anything. Instead she herself was investigated when [edited] fired off a counterblast. ‘It was very irritating, but of course there was no merit in his complaints and they were all swiftly dismissed,’ she told the Eye. [Edited] boasts on his website about the [edited] case: ‘Of the seven men convicted, five were given life sentences. The man I assessed was given a sentence substantially below that of his co-defendants, and without a tariff’.
Another victim of [edited]’s revenge salvos was [edited], an academic and leading clinical and forensic psychologist. After taking advice, he complained to the then regulator, the BPS, that [edited] had manipulated IQ test scores in the trial of a man accused in 2008 of converting replica weapons into firearms used in a series of murders. It made the man appear less intelligent, and therefore less culpable. [The academic] told the Court at the time he had ‘never encountered such extraordinary conduct before’. In the event it seems [edited] evidence held little or no sway: the defendant was convicted and sentenced to life.
When [edited] duly counter-complained, however, the BPS decided to investigate [edited] complaint first. It swiftly exonerated [the academic]; but it never got round to investigating [edited] because, in the meantime, fitness to practise and regulatory issues had been passed to the HCPC. [The academic] told the Eye: ‘Guidelines indicate that the need to protect clients from unsafe practice from psychological experts and professional witnesses is paramount. But there is absolutely no protection if a psychologist is not registered’.
In a third case involving [edited], while he again escaped investigation of complaints about his expertise and findings, it took almost two years before his unfounded counter-allegations against a registered psychologist were dismissed – this time with an HCPC apology.
No-one can say whether the complaints about [edited] would have been upheld. The scandal is that because he can so easily act outside the regulatory system, no-one even bothers to consider them.”
What changes would you like to see in the regulation of Family Court experts? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
