Mom Who Kidnapped Kids Can’t Get Child Support Arrears
May 7, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
Just
two days ago I posted a piece on Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin’s veto
of legislation that shouldn’t have been controversial. Indeed, so
non-controversial was it that it had the unanimous support of both
houses of the legislature. That’s the kind of support usually reserved
for things like Resolutions to Declare Puppies Cute or to designate one
day a year Apple Pie Day. Read more...
Oklahoma Bill to Enforce Visitation Vetoed by Governor Mary Fallin
May 5, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
An amazing thing happened in the Oklahoma legislature this past week. Then something else amazing happened. And then a third.
First, the Oklahoma House of Representatives and Senate passed House
Bill 3001 that would have actually given non-custodial parents a bit of
power in their post-divorce relationships with their exes. Read more...
Los Angeles County: Department of Children and Family Services Holds $9 M Meant for Kids
May 4, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
Not long ago, I posted here and here and here
about the system-wide dysfunction in the child welfare organizations in
California. The problems generally amount to caseworkers either
ignoring children obviously at risk of injury or overspending resources
on parents who are fit and loving. But the situation is so bad that at
least one state lawmaker, Assembleyman Tim Donnelly, has said he’d scrap
the whole system and start over if he could. Read more...
Sixteen-Year-Old Dad Fights Adoption Industry in Illinois
May 2, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
The
adoption industry has struck again. This time it’s in Illinois where
the Lutheran Social Services of Illinois is hard about the task of
separating an infant from its father. Now, this is not Utah in which the
adoption industry, supported by state law, goes to the most outrageous
extremes to make sure single fathers don’t have an opportunity to care
for their children. Read more...
Father Defeats Bogus Guardianship of His Sons
May 1, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
Sometimes
the anti-father bias of courts and the press is so obvious, it fairly
screams from the page. But, while it’s obvious to many of us, to others
it’s like the elephant in the living room รข€“ huge, but completely
unseen. People’s ability to not see what’s squarely in front of them
never ceases to amaze me. Here’s one example (Albuquerque Journal, 4/30/14). Read more...
Parental Alienation Awareness Day: April 25, 2014, Los Angeles, California
April 30, 2014 by Michelle Glogovac, Chair, Executive Committee, National Parents Organization of California
I
was very fortunate to be surrounded by so many people who are fighting
for shared parenting on Parental Alienation Awareness day in Los
Angeles, California. National Parents Organization of California joined
Jason Patric and his organization, Stand Up For Gus at a press conference on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall. Joe Sorge, producer of Divorce Corp joined us and spoke about the need for family law reform, within our court system and state as a whole. Read more...
Warshak Paper May Influence Child Custody Decisions in Australia
April 30, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
The last redoubt of the anti-father crowd is being breached. Read about it here (Sydney Morning Herald, 4/28/14).
For decades, the data on children’s need for fathers have been building
up. Over 20 years ago, prominent family sociologist David Popenoe was
able to say that some 30 years of social science information
demonstrated that children from all walks of life do better with two
parents than with one. And the same holds true for children when their
parents separate or divorce; they still do better with both of them
actively involved in their lives.

Volunteer Testimonial
“Every
child deserves a nurturing, loving environment and protection from
hostile parenting and alienation. I have seen first-hand the effects of
the emotional turmoil created by unfit parents. As a grand-parent, It is
especially heart-breaking to see your child victimized by both an angry
parent and then again by a misinformed family court system. I became
involved with National Parents Organization, because the focus is
advocacy for the children.”
