In a strange occurrence a family court judge threw a father who was caring for his children out of his home and gave it to a mother that abandoned the house years ago after literally destroying it. Earlier attempts from the mother to obtain access were denied. The mother failed to attend court appointments on three occasions. There were three previous occasions when the father appeared for court but the mother was no show. In fact there was a scheduled hearing two weeks ago when her attorney alleged service using certified mail without providing proof that the father was served.
The judge hastily allowed a default order with language to throw the father to the streets and place the mother who has had three major fights with her 16 year old daughter beginning at 14 into the house. This is a mother who placed her daughter on the street with a two month old baby daughter at 6 pm one hot June evening in Houston and was rescued by the father and was living in the house when the father was placed on the streets.
These were facts given to the court in earlier hearings.
That a judge in the United States of America can take a home from a father and his children and give to a violent law breaking mother is senseless, unbelievable and clearly a violation of the civil rights of both father and children.
To say the family court should be in the interest of the children is incredible. To force the father to pay child support to a mother who spends every moment of her free time in Houston,s clubs and abandon the children for her recreational needs has been awarded 700.00 to fund her recreational habits while the father has to maintain the children, pay utilites while paying child support.
Family court reform has to be on the agenda for the next legislature and I cannot wait to be in Austin with many who have been severely affected by these runaway courts to ensure these judges cease to destroy families as is the case in this instant.
