A Non-Custodial Welcome

Greetings,

There is a war going on, and I am not referring to that disaster we are engaged in over in Iraq. Although many of the soldiers returning home from that ugly battle will find an even uglier one awaits them right here. I’m referring to the custody war. Here is but one example of it; http://www.woai.com/news/state/story.aspx?content_id=CC580570-C785-45A8-A52E-C63F6511E741

And here’s another… http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/11/10/MNGK82U6IC1.DTL

Now if you think the current custody laws aren’t totally screwed up, then consider what it’s like for these men and women to put there ass on the line for their country and as a “thank you” be stripped of their kids!

Not that it’s any less painful for the rest of us civilian non-custodial parents to sit back and watch the courts steal our kids.

Now in the past few months, I have learned quite a bit about The Custody War some of us are being forced to fight. I can actually say I have been to the front lines. Both in court and outside of it.

I have met (or learned about) most of the major players on the board. We in the father’s rights advocacy realm even refer to them and each other as “soldiers.” I have learned that in most cases men are severely discriminated against in custody hearings. That is not to say woman don’t also occasionally lose their kids wrongly as well. The courts stupidity on the matter knows no bounds. To these bastards our children are nothing more then case numbers with big dollar signs attached.

I feel really bad for dad’s who are new to all of this. They come to these father’s rights rallies in desperation and despair. Many with the misguided belief that we father’s rights advocates can just pick up a magic phone and tell some incompetent bias excuse for a judge; to give this guy his child back NOW!

Fraid it doesn’t work that way.

In fact in most cases we are in the same boat you are. I mean think about it, if we had such a magic hotline, don’t ya think we’d use it to get our own children back?

The truth is unless (like me) you have been to what we call “the front lines” chances are you really don’t have a clue how the war is going. That’s why I decided to create this blog.

To sorta bring back word from the front. To share with you what I see out there in my travels, both good and bad.

And along the way I also plan to plug my own website/novel which I created as a way of getting the truth out about how and why I lost my own child, something I was never properly given a chance to do in court. The website is appropriately entitled http://givebackmychild.com/ It’s free. Really.

I will also be plugging a man named Dr. Mark Klein who is seriously considering running for president on the equal custody platform; http://www.equalcustodyact.com/

This man gives non custodial parents a chance to drop an A-Bomb on the heartless lawmakers and judges who have so callously taken our kids away!

Anyway that’s all for now… As a parent who finds the holidays nothing but a grim reminder of what he has lost, I wish you all at least a tolerable holiday season and a big custody victory in the New Year.
