"For any society to grow there has to be a belief system that will advance that society."
Welcome to new and old members alike! Our organization's focus is on REFORMING CURRENT ALIMONY LAWS IN FLORIDA with an eye on future family law issues.
What are our beliefs?
Most of us would agree with the principles of the 10 commandments: Don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't be dishonest, etc. We also agree that we should reward good behavior; however, we often not only do not reward it, but offer no consequences for bad behavior. This is at the heart of what is wrong with alimony law in the state of Florida.
One of the key elements that elevates a society is diversified financial growth. With more products and services comes more income, which buys more houses, pays for products, food, transportation, medical/dental care, etc. Almost all the money earned keeps our society moving forward.
When we penalize citizens for the sole reason that they are financially successful, it sends the wrong message to our society. That's exactly what Florida's alimony laws do. It's called THE ABILITY TO PAY, where an alimony judgement penalizes the person who has more money and, conversely, rewards the spouse who has chosen not to work. This creates a "need" for the nonworking party which all too often never goes away.
How did this reversal of principles happen?
Fighting for the "underdog" has become quite profitable. Many family law attorneys see the income opportunities when a family faces divorce, involving a plethora of expenses that must be paid by the spouse earning the income. There is no incentive to limit litigation, so many divorces are extremely profitable for family law attorneys, who even take classes in how to penetrate the income producer's finances. It's all about the money.
“Dads Take Your Child to School Day” is important because it highlights—and helps normalize—the active, everyday involvement of fathers in their children’s lives. Its value goes far beyond a symbolic gesture.
1. Strengthens the Father–Child Bond
When dads participate in routine activities like the school drop-off, children experience:
A sense of security and belonging
Greater emotional connection with their father
Reinforcement that their dad is a reliable, present caregiver—not just a “weekend” or secondary parent
For many children, especially those in separated or divorced families, these small, consistent moments matter deeply.
2. Counters Harmful Stereotypes
The day challenges long-standing assumptions that:
Mothers are the primary caregivers
Fathers are optional or secondary parents
Public visibility of dads at school helps shift cultural and institutional thinking toward parental equality, which is especially important in education systems and family courts.
3. Supports Children’s Academic and Social Outcomes
Research consistently shows that positive father involvement is linked to:
Better school performance
Improved behavior
Higher self-esteem
Lower rates of absenteeism and discipline problems
Seeing their father involved in school sends children a powerful message: “My education matters, and I matter.”
4. Promotes Father Engagement in Schools
When fathers feel welcome at schools, they are more likely to:
Attend parent-teacher meetings
Volunteer
Communicate with teachers
Stay engaged long-term
This improves school–family partnerships and benefits all children—not just those of participating dads.
5. Reinforces a Child’s Right to Both Parents
In the context of family law and custody concerns, this day carries special importance:
It affirms that fathers are essential, not optional
It helps protect and normalize father-child relationships
It reminds institutions that children benefit from meaningful involvement of both parents
For fathers who feel marginalized by divorce or custody arrangements, this day is a public acknowledgment of their role and value.
6. Positive Male Role Modeling
Children—especially boys—benefit from seeing men:
Show up
Be nurturing
Participate in education
Take responsibility
Girls also benefit by learning what healthy, engaged fatherhood looks like.
7. Sends a Cultural and Policy Message
At a broader level, “Dads Take Your Child to School Day”:
Signals that fatherhood matters
Supports movements toward shared parenting
Challenges systems that minimize paternal involvement
It quietly but effectively pushes back against practices that sideline dads in education and family systems.
In Short
“Dads Take Your Child to School Day” matters because it:
Strengthens families
Benefits children
Normalizes involved fatherhood
Challenges bias
Supports a child’s right to both parents
Sometimes cultural change begins with something as simple—and powerful—as walking your child to school and being seen doing it.

Kids do better academically with involved fathers, so state to host a Dads Take Your Child to School Day
In 2009, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and the annual “Dads Take Your Child to School Day” became the exclusive event that welcomed all ethnicities. A new logo was instituted from a drawing on a napkin by Kenneth Braswell, from the NYS OTDA. A website was created which allowed state-wide registration and guidance for anyone interested. It was also decided that the first day of school is a hectic time for principles and school staff and it may be difficult to coordinate the event. The date was moved back a couple of weeks to allow better planning and cohesion with the number of participating partners. A number of city agencies also joined including the Administration for Children Services (ACS), Department for Youth and Community Development (DYCD), and the Office of Child Support Enforcement (NYC OCSE).

Declaratory Judgment and destroy the unconstitutional practices in family courts
The money raised in this booster will go towards helping each state file a declaratory judgment to stop the unconstitutional practices in the family courts. The first portion of this month's campaign will be designated for the filing fees in Sarasota, Florida. If there are overages the extra will go into the nonprofit "Keeping Families Intact."

No More Jim Crow Family Courts - Defeating one state at a time!
Parents have been struggling far too long through the family courts. Both the parents and children are being abused and taken advantage of. It is too expensive and difficult for parents to fight this. And the time it takes to fight it causes the destruction of their relationships with their children, has cost many their health as well as some their lives.
Thousands of divorced fathers are eliminated from their children’s lives because of the ‘implacable hostility’ of mothers with custody, writes Neil Lyndon
‘The normal prejudiced assumption is that a mother will give children kindly care while a feckless father swaggers off over the horizon’ Photo: Alamy
Men’s and fathers’ groups saw the case in a different light, however. To them, it reflected a phenomenon that they see all too frequently – the elimination of fathers from their children’s lives by unmitigated, unscrupulous demands on the children’s loyalty on the part of the mother with custody, along with the unremitting denigration and belittling of the father.
“Custody” and “placement” (sometimes called “visitation”) are often confused by the uninitiated. “Custody” has to do with decision-making on the child(ren)’s behalf on matters of health, education, and financial management. “Visitation” has to do with where the children live and when they, in accordance with the judge’s order, are and are not scheduled to be there.
The judge decides who will be primarily in charge of the child(ren)’s health, education and finances, and with whom the children will primarily live. The decision is made after the judge hears from professionals and various other observers and acquaintances who are familiar with both parents and the child(ren), as well as the dynamics of the respective family household. First among the professionals, as determined by state law, is the guardian ad litem (who may be a lawyer) or the custody evaluator (who may be a psychologist). Depending upon the state, one or another of these professionals is appointed by the court to look into the specific situation presented by each case and make a recommendation to the judge as to the “best interests of the child(ren)” in that case.

United Auto Courts Reports ~ Valerie Manno-Schurr has made a habit of being reversed in her first term as Miami-Dade circuit judge. The latest instance was on Feb. 29, when the Third District Court of Appeal determined that she erred in a dispute over a homeowner’s insurance claim. Judge Manno-Schurr has been reversed many times on cases taken to appeal. As of late 2011,…Read More

Judges are allowed to make numerous errors that litigants pay tens of thousands of dollars to correct through the appellate process or either live with illegal orders. Judges make intentionally erroneous orders with the knowledge litigants don’t have the resources to correct. If a cashier, nurse or any other profession made as many errors as judges they would be terminated. It is time judges are judge by the same standards the litigants standing before them are judges.
Presiding Judge of my ""8"" YEAR-OLD "simple" Paternity - Family Court Case from 2008!
The 5th Judge to preside over my simple case; an unwed biological father seeking to maintain contact with his daughter Zoraya (Google#StandupforZoraya to read about this case) and Judge Manno-Schurr is enabling Child Abuse via Parental Alienation.
On March 25th, 2015, in a special set hearing at the Family Courthouse, Judge Manno-Schurr interrupted my testimony while on the witness stand to notate the court reporter's record as follows; "the father (me) is turning red in the face, yelling at me, and pointing his finger at me". My attorney, Stuart Abramson, objected noting the record as follows; "the father has been diagnosed with PTSD your honor". Then Judge Manno-Schurr (this is why you should rethink this article) said; "Mr. Inguanzo were you in the military?"
My response: "NO! Your Honor ... 'YOU' AND THIS CASE HAS CAUSED THE PTSD ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS"
How about that for a Registered Nurse!!!
(Google #StandupforZoraya to read about this case) and Judge Manno-Schurr is enabling Child Abuse via Parental Alienation.
When someone hurts us and/or our children, our first reaction is to protect ourselves or to call the police. We think that as victims that the authorities should be there to help us; that as innocent victims the police, and court system should there for the best interest of the innocent. In fact, in many cases the exact opposite is true. Over the years a growing amount of judges and authorities are siding with the abusers and only blaming and re-victimizing the victims.

STOP THE HEARTBREAK JUDGE MANNO-SCHURR ~~ 11th Judicial Circuit Family Court... http://bit.ly/1VBlVaG

The judge decides who will be primarily in charge of the child(ren)’s health, education and finances, and with whom the children will primarily live. The decision is made after the judge hears from professionals and various other observers and acquaintances who are familiar with both parents and the child(ren), as well as the dynamics of the respective family household.

Depending upon the state, one or another of these professionals is appointed by the court to look into the specific situation presented by each case and make a recommendation to the judge as to the “best interests of the child(ren)” in that case.
In recent years, as more and more mothers have entered the workforce, child custody fights between divorcing parents have become more commonplace. The outcomes of these contests are ultimately decided by a Family Court judge whose determination is based on his/her answer to the following question: “primary placement with which parent is in the best interests of the child(ren)?”
