The Battle Against Misunderstanding and Systemic Failure in Family Law

Many years ago, when facing

If your ex lied to get temporary sole custody of your child based on lies and you couldn't see or speak to them for 3 weeks, what would you do? Be fine or lose your mind?

It seems my patience has run thin... when it feels like nothing is happening, we must trust that He is in control. We must believe that we are called to be faithful, not successful. Blessed be my friend.

For most of my life, I thought I was a normal citizen of this country, serving in the army for 10 years, but when I experienced a premeditated attack during my divorce, I was shown otherwise. This attack consumed my life savings, credit, and assets, totaling over $100,000.

Key points: My ex, who is not a good person, got temporary sole custody of my children through lies, and I lost access to them for 3 weeks. My rights were ignored, and my ex's false claims made against me had no impact on the decision. My lawyer was paid off, my judge was bribed, and my children were taken from me. This happened in Gingham Ingham County, Michigan, a corrupt county and court system.

The Journey Through the Legal Quagmire

My divorce case began months before the pandemic hit, and when the courts closed down, my children were left in the custody of my ex. Six years later, we have yet to heal. This was an extreme trauma, and attempting to navigate the legal system without proper support led to my children being taken from me by my ex. Their false claims created a facade of legitimacy, and my attempts to seek justice were met with empty promises and systemic obstacles.

As a father, I had to fight tooth and nail to see my children again. I tried to involve the family court in Sacramento, California, but it was a top-notch system that required no evidence, allowed unequal participation, and had a double standard when it came to what was considered valid evidence. Additionally, it denied my rights to even be given an opportunity to retain counsel, and there was no mechanism to protect me from my ex's unlawful actions.

Key points: The family court denied me the right to see my children, despite their pleas being based on false information. My ex's say-so was considered more valid than my 9 drug tests and submitted documents. Despite making reports to CPS and the police, I faced prejudice and legal hurdles that made it nearly impossible to see my children.

The Cry for Justice and Transparency

The corruption in the family court system and the way it treats cases involving child custody is nothing short of heartbreaking. The system is built on a biased foundation, and it's designed to favor those who are more powerful or have more resources. It is not a place where justice prevails; it is a place where the powerful and the reputable prevail.

Every document, evidence, and request I submitted was dismissed. I was denied the ability to see my children, despite the fact that I submitted evidence showing that my ex was lying. The system failed me at every turn, and it is clear that a fundamental change is needed to ensure that justice is served for all.

Key points: The system is corrupt and biased, and it failed to protect the children's rights. I was denied the right to see my children, despite my evidence, and my ex was allowed to continue her illegal actions. The court system should be reformed to ensure that all parties have a fair chance to present their case.

The Importance of Legal Representation and Support

Access to legal representation is crucial in cases involving family law and child custody. However, the cost can be prohibitive, and the system is not set up to support those who are financially struggling. The minimum requirement for a family law lawyer is around $3,000, and to retain one, it can cost up to $5,000. This is utterly unaffordable for someone like me, who earns only $2,300 a month and is unable to work in 617 jobs over a six-year period.

My financial situation is dire, and it has led to a significant level of emotional and physical distress. The court refused to take any of my documents or order requests, and even the police have accused me of being "crazy" due to my struggle to work. The system is built to keep me from exercising my rights as a parent, and it is a reflection of a broader issue within the legal system.

Key points: Legal representation is crucial but unaffordable. The system should have provisions to support those in financial need. The court should take all evidence and requests seriously to ensure a fair and just outcome for all parties involved.

Conclusion

The family court system is a breeding ground for systemic failures and injustice. It is a place where the powerful and the reputable prevail, and the powerless are left to fend for themselves. The corruption and bias within the system are evident, and it is essential that steps are taken to address and rectify these issues.

Key points: The family court system is failing many people, and it is time for a transformation. Systemic changes are needed to ensure that justice is served for all, regardless of their financial or social standing. Legal representation and support are crucial, but they should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

As much as I have tried to navigate this system, I have been let down time and time again. I am left questioning the very foundation of the legal system and the true meaning of justice. Until we take the necessary steps to reform and address these issues, the struggle to protect our children and our rights will continue.

I understand that I am not alone, and I hope that by sharing my experience, others might find it a bit easier to navigate this difficult and injust journey. The battle against misunderstanding and systemic failure in the family court system is ongoing, and it is up to all of us to fight for justice and fairness.

Good luck to you, my friend.
