Legal Abuse Syndrome (LAS), a condition proposed by marriage and family therapist Karin P. Huffer, whose books on the subject of post-traumatic stress stemming from court-mediated violations are Overcoming the Devastation of Legal Abuse Syndrome(1995) and Legal Abuse Syndrome: 8 Steps for Avoiding the Traumatic Stress Caused by the Justice System(2013).
“Develops in individuals assaulted by ethical violations, legal abuses, betrayals, and fraud” and that’s exacerbated by “abuse of power and authority and a profound lack of accountability in our courts.” ~ Karin P. Huffer
Never doubt why so many are working so hard to #fixfamilycourts Every parent starts out equal but does not remain that way in the So-called family courts.
Once you enter that court you feel nothing but attacked. Your life and decisions are no longer your own. Your children are stripped from the life you thought you were protected to live. People in the family court process step in between you and your child regardless of whether you are for or not.
Some like Chris are left with no hope of ever recovering. What do you do when the court you thought would protect you and your child from vicious attacks on your fundamental rights fails you? Where do you turn when you cannot afford justice and when there is no hope for it?
Let’s make 2016 the year of #noexcuses and restore justice and protection in every parent and child’s life. Let’s make 2016 the year of no more lost lives and #fizfamilycourts once and for all! #neverfear#neverforget

There is no one way or no best way to tell the story of a man driven by others to take his life.

76. Father’s Open Letter To The Family Courts.
Owen Lucas films his open letter to the court admitting that he is in contempt of court for doing so.
He tells us of his grief and impotence in the face of the family court system.
Owen speaks for so many fathers who find themselves in the palm of ex-partners colluding with a system that in many cases, strips fathers of their homes, their children and their dignity – and often their jobs and financial stability too.
Mothers are given legal aid and fathers are not unless there is already proven child abuse.
In cases where abuse is suspected or even confirmed, a father has no clout to impact the family court system in many cases.
NB. If you know a child is being abused, ensure that a. you take photographs b. you film them speaking of the events and c. you inform the police without delay. These three steps may well be the difference between whether you become alienated from, or the main caregiver to your child/children.

This is nothing new to a non-custodial parent, but we want people who may not be aware of our struggle(s) relating to seeing our children…to ‘see’ the [scope] of the problem and start enforcing accountability! Presently, there are too many ‘NO’s depicted here.

Sign the petition. It is already headed for Congress.
The amount of unquestioned power in the family court system is a breeding ground for corruption and unchecked biases. The matter of a parents and childs future as a family and legal forced adoption is one that should be taken with extreme consideration. We the undersigned ask that the option to choose a jury trial over the sole discretion of one Judge, be implemented. When the State terminates and adopts out a parents child there is financial incentive for the counties CPS that creates a huge door for corrupt practices and abuse of power in an effort to secure funding. The act of terminating a parents rights not only strips a child of an entire family and identity, but causes the parent years of grief and uncertainty. To lose one’s child is a loss so terrible in it’s torment of a parents heart. This is a matter that is more then just a ‘civil’ matter which can be handled lightly. We want accountability. We want fair and just trials by a group of our peers.

If You Doubt the Grief Caused by False Accusation, Consider the Whimpers of False Accusers When THEY’RE Exposed
An alternative way of understanding the pains inflicted by false accusation, if you’re among the compassionately challenged, is to consider the complaints of those accused of falsely accusing. They don’t like it much when the table is turned.
