Family Courts Give Fathers No Protection for Their Rights and Assets – Just Tyranny
by Shane Flait (2009)

Divorce and paternity lawsuits have sky-rocketed over the last 40 years. Divorces rates are now in the 40% to 50% range. These suits produce immeasurable damage to litigants (mostly fathers), their children, their productivity, their assets and their futures.

It’s wholly uncalled for except for benefits that a mega billion dollar divorce/domestic violence and child support industry receives at the expense of fathers by promulgating unconstitutional denial of their most fundamental rights. This article explains why fathers find no protection for themselves, their children and their assets. 

What makes these suits unique among all legal actions is that many fundamental rights are at stake and will be lost by one of the child’s parent – overwhelmingly the father - but no wrong has to be proven. 

I’ve never seen such utter damage, maliciousness, and financial destruction as when the ‘family court’ takes over a man’s life. It’s a kidnap followed by extortion scheme couched in the aura of legality. These suits and their resulting unfairness to fathers – and their children - represent the control and tyranny that government can easily impose on individuals while putting out propaganda representing the opposite of what’s really taking place.

Here’s what you need to know:

 ‘Family’ courts decide divorce and paternity lawsuits. Such cases involve fundamental rights upheld by the constitution.  These rights are:

• ·         the right to directly care for and parent your own child

• ·         the right to earn and work as you wish,

• ·         the right to be treated equally to all others –both mothers and fathers – and, lastly

• ·         the right to be tried under constitutional due process (including a jury of your peers) when your fundamental rights are at stake.

But ‘Family’ courts ignore constitutional due process and, therefore, routinely deny all these fundamental rights to one parent – overwhelmingly the father – for doing nothing wrong.

With no evidence of parental unfitness and based almost solely on any accusation or characterization that the mother makes against the father, the father will lose parental control over his child(ren) and most or all of his assets. The state effectively kidnaps his children no matter how much he wants to directly care for and support his own children.  

Then, for having kidnapped his children, the state orders him to pay child support – a euphemism for extortion – at a level which leaves him impoverished or nearly so, and limits his ability to work as he wishes.  If he doesn’t pay it all, he’ll be put in jail also without due process – only an accusation that he can pay.

Just so you know: If you can take a fundamental right or freedom from someone with no or little wrong done – and without proof, then he doesn’t have that right or freedom to begin with.

That’s why criminal courts require proof ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that a law was broken; and why superior courts for civil cases where a fundamental right is in jeopardy, requires ‘clear and convincing’ evidence that a sufficient wrong or condition justifies it. Such high levels of proof guard our rights from unfair denials.

Our perverse family court system is this tyranny’s wedge.

And what propaganda is put out by the government and all its affiliates relying on the unfairness of the family court system?  You’ve heard it: Fathers don’t want to be responsible, don’t want to support their children by paying the child support and are generally abusive in one way or another. 

You’ve probably wondered how such men exist – since you’re such a decent person. Stop wondering.  It’s propaganda and it’s false. It’s what all tyrannies do when rights are denied.

But why is it out there?

It’s there because this massive industry fosters the denial of fathers’ fundamental rights for fees, profits and child extortion payments to the tune of a hundred billion dollars-a-year. It would come to a screaming halt if the sex-based outcome was equal. It’s why women file for divorce at least 80% of the time and get full physical custody of the children more often than that.

Asset Protection under a Governmental Tyranny against Fathers

As a man, you must consider the very real possibility that you’ll end up divorced or with a paternity suit that leaves you a slave with no rights – and very little assets. 

What should a potential father do?

I think he should do four things:

• ·         Understand how the law should protect his constitutional rights. This is what this republic was formed to do. It’s not for you or your child(ren)!

• ·         Learn asset protection strategies to safeguard some assets against the high probability of an unfair divorce or paternity suit.

• ·         Demand at least equal physical and legal custody of children – perhaps alternating weekly – as an outcome to a divorce or paternity suits.

• ·         Learn to fight in court.
