There is no question the intended purpose of family court is not that envisage when created. The court intent of protecting children has failed miserably. Family court is entrusted with tremendous power and authority. When human diversity in behavior is factored, the court becomes a lethal institution hostile to many especially minorities.
The court takes responsibility for a number of issues dealing with families. Many of these issues are not necessarily of primary concern to courts although very important to parents. Family priorities for children are cultured for long term while family court dealings is short relative to that of families.
One would think that family courts would look at children in their entirety providing or helping to provide a structure that meets the basic needs for the child. Far from that observation being true is the relentless efforts on the part of ideological and advocate judges that impose their will and thought priorities to influence the out come of cases involving vulnerable children.
Family court processes are abstract, divisive and devastating . Certainly not that envisage when the court was founded. Family court uses many tools that are used often with devastating consequences. Tools such as confiscation of property, child custody and child support without any process or hearing. Children who lived with one parent for years, could be taken away and given to a pendant who is not necessarily in the child's life or has not been for long periods of time.
Another area of failure of the court is its affiliation with the the Attorney Generals Office to award child support. Tools that involve finance are highly suspect to misuse. When family court joins with an institution like the Attorney General office with the task of generating money, bad things are going to happen. The concern is strengthened when either there is a bias towards one ethnic component, group, or when economics come into play. Family court becomes a medium for facilitating the more fortunate or those pre perceived by judges who control these courts.
Family courts have maintained their judgment that mothers are to care for homes including children and father's are to provide finance. This theory has caused tremendous harm to parents and children alike. Family courts find no problem with forcing a father into bankruptcy or simply making him homeless to support their stance for family responsibility.
That family court has failed it's intended purpose, is an under statement. The ill effects of actions by family court is worse than that of drug abuse and addiction experienced by so many communities. Irresponsible actions by family court judges have led to homelessness, bankruptcy, prison and suicide to name a few.
America has been crying for relief from family courts for many years, but their tears are missed and ignored by those responsible for providing protection from Government institutions under their control. It is my pray that family courts will be reformed and returned to its desired purpose where children will receive care and priorities necessary for coping with trials destined to occupy so much of their future lives.
