"The law is simply and solely made for the exploitation of those who do not understand it or of those, who out of naked need, cannot obey it."Bertolt Brecht

No statement more aptly describes the betrayal of Family Law. Nowhere in our society have the effects of this treachery been as evident as the destruction of the "family." As the battle for America's children rages across our country today, lawyers earn enormous sums of money fomenting the fires of divorce. As one attorney recently said, "I make a very good living from divorce cases, while I am waiting for the big one." Of all the many practitioners of the legal profession, these people are at the bottom of the food chain. Notice that earlier I referred to divorce as an "industry." Make no mistake, that is precisely what it is -- in fact billions of dollars -- including the peripheral industries that feed off divorce. We know this for certain -- much of divorce /family law is unconstitutional. Those of you who doubt that fact will learn the hard way. While researching our plan, a picture began to emerge of the overwhelming devastation that was directly attributable to the conflict created from divorce and custody issues. The destruction of the family, financial devastation, desperation and despair, suicide and even murder, are just a small sample of the fallout from a twenty-year failed "experiment" done in the name of "the best interests" of children. The question is, "Whose children?" Certainly not ours. Many activists in this cause will try to convince us that substantive reform is taking place. THIS IS NONSENSE. For nearly two decades, attempts by advocacy groups to effect reform have FAILED. Our system of family law was designed, and continues to be maintained, by those who benefit from it the most - AND THEY WILL NEVER LEGISLATE THEMSELVES OUT OF BUSINESS. There is no "reforming" a system which blatantly tramples the fundamental rights of citizens. A New York judge, Hon. Richard Hunter, former chief judge of the King's County (Brooklyn) Family Court, and a prominent member of the New York State Commission on Child support, made the following comments in "The Fathers Also Rise," New York Magazine, November, 18, 1985: "You have never seen a bigger pain in the ass than the father who wants to get involved; he can be repulsive. He wants to meet the kid after school at three o'clock, take the kid out to dinner during the week, have the kid on his own birthday, talk to the kid on the phone every evening, go to every open school night, take the kid away for a whole weekend so they can be alone together. This type of father is pathological." Judge Hunter is by no means unique. He is a pathetic representative of the arrogance, bias and plain stupidity that is pervasive in Family Law courts. He, and others like him, are a prime example of the need to remove judges who are a disgrace to the spirit of justice and to remove the word "discretion" from Family Law Statutes. Over the past two decades, Federal and State governments have established hundreds of fact-finding commissions to "investigate" the problems of Family Law. The research is in. The facts are overwhelming. This system does not work. And despite the thousands of "right's" groups and their millions of members, no significant reform of these laws has occurred. In fact, it has gotten worse. Look no further than the recent passage of the "Deadbeat Parents Punishment Act" which the Libertarian Party publicly denounced by saying that it should "scare the hell out of every freedom-loving American."Reform will never be achieved at the state level. The enormous financial benefit to the states, provided by the Federal Government as an incentive to INVENT child support, will guarantee the continuation of this treachery. As a result, families are being torn apart, lives are destroyed and family wealth is being squandered. Yet, the divorce industry continues to flourish as the federal government turns its back on the most important citizens in this country -- our children. Consider this: If an armed intruder invaded your home and took your children, would you fight them to the death? Now consider what has happened to our children and their non custodial parents. IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK!
