A Different Kind of Fight: Focus, Energy, and Your Income Signature

Why protecting your mind and redesigning your income may matter as much as anything you do in court. The System Is Counting On You Giving Up If you are in a family court battle, you already know the truth that nobody tells you going in: this is not just a legal fight. It is an […]

Family Law Reform: Sometimes People Want You To Think It’s About Others, When It’s Really About Them.

I was reminded of the thought expressed in the title to this post the other day, which provoked me to update some older posts that decomposed and explained Title IV-D bonuses and incentives to states (Federal Title IV-D funds are bonuses and incentives paid to states for maximizing, collecting, enforcing, and administering child support payments). […]

Apparently, Noncustodial Parents Need To Be Encouraged To “Visit” With Their Children.

  Recently, I was updating our breakdown of Title IV-D incentive payments to states, and I came across this little gem in a 2012 budget request from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for title IV-D funding.

Family Law Reform: The Failure Of A Moral Argument

Consider the following story from one of our members: “My son testified in the state capital when a proposal was made to adopt 50/50 custody. He did not care about money, he pays his support by living home with me. What he wanted was more time with his sons and he petitioned for an extra […]

Celia

This case is both difficult to read, but also amazing. It is a reminder that even that when dealing with Parental Alienation, False Allegations, and the Family Court, there is hope. I met my (now) husband when I was 28. He has three children from a previous marriage. Shortly after being married for one year […]
