Marriage represents a substantial risk to men. Investing in a family is likely the most substantial investment of time and effort a man can make. Women typically 'win' no-fault divorces, and walk away with everything including the house, the marital savings, the car, the children, and even his future earnings. Men prudently view marriage as a unilateral debt obligation that women may 'cash in' at any time, and leave men broke and distressed over the loss of children. Accumulation of marital assets such as home equity could be viewed as detrimental as it provides incentives for the wife to divorce. Renting, secret acounts, or concealment of finances may be viewed as a financial hedging strategy for divorce risk.
The decision to be a single custodial parent is largely a financial choice made by women who perceive a benefit from filing a divorce or declining a marriage. Marriage represents risk uncertainty to women, while government programs (Child Support Collections, ADF, etc) are a sure thing. The security of government programs is more attractive than the uncertainty of getting or staying married, they are a government divorce incentive system. In some jurisdictions, 80% or more of divorces are filed by women. This is opposite to feminist propaganda that portrays typical divorces as a 1950's era phenomenon of the husband running off with the cute young secretary. Women are divorcing to secure financial benefits for themselves. The U.S.C.B. reports (Pub. P60-230) that 83.1% of sole custodial parents are female, and this knowedge is the assurance to women that she can file with high confidence in the outcome. The divorce incentive system works for women because the expectation of winning most or sole custody.Marriage represents a substantial risk to men. Investing in a family is likely the... more

Many studies conclude modern western women are less happy than women of earlier generations, or in cultures with less feminist influence. hese analyses overlook the delicate topic that modern women are not happy being feminist whores. Gender equality aside, feminism is about portraying all women as the abused, trafficked, prostituted, exploited victems of all men. Under feminism, all married women are exploited whores, as are all single women in relationships with men regarded victemized whores being exploited and raped. Feminism causes women to go around competing with each other as to how abused and exploited they are.. bragging about domestic violence, and how many abusive husbands they have divorced. RadFem abuse and rape stories are about 95% FALSE, so anytime we hear a RadFem talking about domestic violence, abuse or rape, we can be pretty darn sure we are listening to a whore making up lies. It sucks for the 5% or so real victems of abuse or rape, because they have to carry around pictures and police reports to prove that thier story is true, and that they are not just a lying whore playing the feminist game.
In a feminist world all our wives, girlfreinds, mothers, daughters, sisters. etc.. are all abused, exploited, trafficked whores and prostitutes. Women with virtue or integrity or fidelity are irrelevant. A feminist whore that wants a divorce so her ex hubby will be forced to pay her so she can have multiple sex partners, has exactly the same legal standing in 'no fault' divorce as a wife of exacting fidelity or one that really was abused, mistreated or abandoned. No fault divorce takes no account of which party breaks the marriage contract nor which one is harmed by the breach.
Feminist whores could make a decent wife, if there were fewer incentives to divorce. A lowdown hooker whore leaves the john when he stops paying for sex or after she robs him. Feminist divorce courts are a scam with judges/lawyers as the 'pimps' who side with the whores to spit the cash. A decent whorehouse has some reputation not rob customers, but the divorce court whorehouse has the opposite reputation, and whores expect to be able to spit anytime with all hubby's money, and use the pimp/judges to strongarm style force him to subsidize her future whoredom with alimony and child support,
It pretty much sucks being a feminist whore, but not as bad as it sucks being a man who marries one..

The Anna Mae He Custody Case....Was there Parental Alienation?
The custody case of AMH made national headlines and if you have not heard about it, all I can suggest is to go ahead and google it. You will find several articles written about it. Some support the He's, Anna Mae's natural or birth parents and others support the Baker's, the foster parents. Whatever your opinion is about this case, it was a case fraught with accusations, tensions and a very lengthy legal battle over who should be allowed to care for Anna Mae.
I do not know either family and have no personal experience with either of them. All I "know" is what was written in the media, which I think slants articles and persuades the public right or wrong when needed. The case was presented as the He's, a Chinese family attempting to make their way in America, had a baby girl who was premature. Jack He, the father, was fighting his own legal battles and they needed help. According to written articles they placed Anna in foster care until they could get on their feet financially. This was to be temporary and later I read until Anna reached the age of 18. This sounded odd to me, but I also had to remember that there is a language barrier as well. I wish not to argue whether the He's could speak and write in English or understand, but what concerns me is the legalese that is used. I speak English and was brought up in the US and for the life of me, I can not always understand the legal wording of documents.
As I would read the stories presented in the media, I did not feel inclined either way towards which family would be best for Anna. The media painted a picture though. The Bakers were wealthier than the He's and could provide more for Anna. That does not make them better parents. From one news media article they print: "The Bakers live in a five-bedroom, 4,800-square-foot home in the Davies Plantation area east of town. Their $414,000 house sits on more than an acre of rolling Tennessee hills. There are colorful play sets in the well-groomed backyard. Inside there is a media room with surround sound and a 53-inch TV, a Jacuzzi and a central vacuum system." I think, "who cares?" Obviously the media and the courts care. In the same article this is printed: "The Bakers began caring for Anna Mae on Feb. 23, 1999, and the Hes say they visited their daughter at least once a week. When the three months ended, they still were not able to care for Anna Mae. Mid-South Christian Services could no longer handle their case because the agency's supervision is limited to 90 days in temporary custody cases. So the two couples negotiated the next step on their own." And this: "Over the next year, the Hes say they continued to visit Anna Mae and told the Bakers they wanted her back. They say Jerry Baker asked that the arrangements stay in place until his then-pregnant wife gave birth to her own child." and this: "But the Bakers say in court documents that the Hes abandoned Anna Mae by not visiting enough and failing to pay child support. For the past year, the Bakers have refused the Hes' official requests to give Anna Mae back. Last month, the Bakers insisted, through Parrish, that Mister He take a DNA test to prove that he was Anna Mae's father. The test proved that he is."

Have any of you ever wondered why it is so hard to have family courts follow their own rules if you involuntarily lost your job, wound up on disability/unemployment. parenting time changes, or even having the custodial parents income applied acoordingly?
Here is a basic overview of how the states annual budget is determined by the amount of support that is paid through the system:
In general.—In paragraph (1), the term “incentive payment pool” means—
(i) $422,000,000 for fiscal year 2000;
(ii) $429,000,000 for fiscal year 2001;
(iii) $450,000,000 for fiscal year 2002;
(iv) $461,000,000 for fiscal year 2003;
(v) $454,000,000 for fiscal year 2004;
(vi) $446,000,000 for fiscal year 2005;
(vii) $458,000,000 for fiscal year 2006;
(viii) $471,000,000 for fiscal year 2007;
(ix) $483,000,000 for fiscal year 2008;
The applicable percentage with respect to a State's support order performance level is as follows:

Our Campaign Protesting Father-Bashing Domestic Violence Ads was recently praised on PJTV by two prominent commentators--Michelle Malkin and Glenn Reynolds.
Malkin is a syndicated columnist whose columns appear in nearly 200 newspapers, the author of three books, and a frequent TV and radio commentator.
Reynolds' blog, www.Instapundit.com, is perhaps the most-read political blog in the US, and he is an author and frequent TV commentator.
Malkin and Reynolds were discussing the controversial "No on 8" pro-gay marriage protests, as well as ways the Republicans can recover from their recent electoral defeat. Our DART campaign--launched by Fathers & Families and I at the end of October--was held up as a model for 21st century political activism. Reynolds said:
I’ve actually got an example of how to do this right...Glenn Sacks' campaign against some of the ads on public transit in Dallas...ads about domestic violence...
As usual, the statistics were dubious to begin with, and the ads stereotype by gender...if you're a man you're going to be a perpetrator of domestic violence more likely than not or such. It was really quite offensive--a lot of people were offended.
What Glenn Sacks and [Fathers & Families] did, they didn't try to get anybody fired. They did complain to DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) about the ads...they did actually find the domestic violence provider's top 50 donors.
They didn't try to get anybody fired but they contacted them and asked them, "Did you realize that your money is supporting these ads? Is this what you want to do?"
They made a very big point of being very polite about it and not making any threats. They did get some action and did it without trying to get anybody fired or booted from their jobs or doing anything vicious.
That's an example of how it ought to be done. That's something that people on the right should be looking at...for the [next four years.]
Malkin agreed, adding:
Glenn Sacks has been very effective in getting his message out and rectifying unbalances in media coverage and advertising. You would hope that [other activists] would take a cue and a clue from this type of campaign.

When picking out that perfect Father's Day gift next year, sons and daughters might want to look to their own accomplishments before deciding between a gaudy polyester tie or splurging on a new set of golf clubs.
The more effort a father invests in his children, the smarter they are as kids and more successful as adults, new research shows. And highly educated fathers make even more of a difference than less educated dads, all things being equal.
"It's not [just] about having dad around, it's about what kind of dad he is," says Daniel Nettle, a psychologist at the University of Newcastle, UK, who led the new analysis, based on surveys of more than 10,000 children over half a century.
Nettle used the National Child Development Study, which traces the lives of every Briton born between 3 and 9 March, 1958. Surveys taken in the 1960s and 70s asked mothers to rate the father's involvement in his child, from "inapplicable" to "equal to the mother". These and later surveys through 2005 tracked intelligence, income, and education of the participants.
Nettle has previously used the same data set to show that wealthy men father more children than paupers.
With paternal investment, however, time seemed to be the most important currency. At age 11, children of highly involved fathers boasted markedly higher IQs than children with less present dads. "This is not half a point, this is a few points of IQ, on average," he says.

During this holiday season people are thankful for many different things.
For Jeremy Hopkins, this Thanksgiving is the first big holiday he's gotten to spend with his daughter Kate in 2 years.
The same amount of time Hopkins has wrangled through the Bradley County court system to get equal custody of his little girl Kate.
"All I want for my daughter is for her to have mom and a dad," Jeremy Hopkins said in tears.
But his story - not unusual.
"The system allows this to happen, "Michael McCormick with the Institute for American Families said.
McCormick traveled from D.C. and stood on the Bradley County Courthouse steps Wednesday to shed light on the Hopkin's case and many more like them.
In fact he says a million plus children pass through the family courts each year.
And around 4-thousand of them will lose a relationship with one of their parents.
"The courts are going to pick a winner and a loser and when they do that..the child ultimately loses," McCormick told News 12.
McCormick points out that Tennessee does requires parents to develop a parenting plan.
But when a plan can't or hasn't been agreed on, like in the Hopkins case, he says the courts fail to maximize a child's relationship with both parents and typically one parent sees the child for less than 20 percent of the time.
"Rather than trying to strengthen those relationships..the court systems are destroying those," Jeremy's brother David said.
"If we look at what's happening to our society we can trace the social pathologies just as increased rates of incarceration, early sexual activity for girls, truency issues relate to the family breaking down and the social fabric of our society is breaking down in terms of the family breaking down, we are being weaken as a nation and we need to change that," McCormick added.
McCormick says while about 17 million fathers nationwide do not have fair access to their children, about three million mothers experience the same problem.During this holiday season people are thankful for many different things.

In the headlines are the appalling news stories of Americans carrying out murderous attacks on judges and their families. In a matter of days, one judge was shot and killed in his own courtroom, while another judge had family members brutally murdered in their home.
These news stories are, however, related to another news story, which is the most taboo subject of the American media - the expanding crisis of corruption among American judges and lawyers. At question is whether the deepening despair of Americans about their own legal system, is fueling some of these violent attacks on judges.
Much is written now about how America's economy is resembling that of a banana republic, given how America is sunk in preposterous debt, and how the US dollar currency is sinking toward a possible collapse in the near future.
But there is another way that America is also like a banana republic, in that its legal system - contrary to its Hollywood image - has become a sinkwell of secret proceedings, the jailing of the innocent, and political misconduct; and how it is sullied with documented corruption, fake trials and court fraud.
These facts are not generally understood, because of how judicial corruption is the most un-reported news story in the American landscape. It is the category of news story which America's newspapers and media are most afraid to report, even when clear proof is in their hands.

Scotland's top social work chief has called on the nation's social workers to "hold their nerve" amid a firestorm of criticism prompted by a London council's failure to prevent the death of Baby P.
The vilification in sections of the press of frontline staff in Haringey Council, as well as their manager and a doctor involved in the case, has an effect on workers across the UK, according to Alan Baird.
Baird, the president of the Association of Directors of Social Work (ADSW), told Herald Society he was concerned about the impact of the coverage on morale and on the confidence of Scottish workers to deal with "already complex" situations.
advertisement
If social workers become more wary of risk, they may be more inclined to remove children from families as a result of the high-profile case, he said.
Baby P, a 17-month-old toddler, died despite being on the at-risk register and having had more than 60 visits from council care workers and other agencies.
Yesterday, England's Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service revealed that since the coverage of the baby's death, referrals for compulsory measures of care across England appear to have risen 26% in comparison with 2007.
Such a change, if replicated in Scotland, would place unprecedented pressure on social workers and children's panels, suggesting a potentially unsustainable demand for resources such as residential care and foster placements. It is also not necessarily in the best interests of children.
Baird said: "The impact of what's happened in Haringey could have very serious knock-on effects for those practising in Scotland. My concern is that there is an issue about staff morale because once again social work has made front page headlines. Secondly, it has an impact on the confidence of staff to deal with already complex situations that they are involved in.
"That leads to risk aversion. Sometimes you end up being overly cautious about concerns you have got. It will be interesting to see if there has been an increase in the number of referrals here."
He said that anxiety provoked by the Baby P case could also affect members of other professions and the public, meaning that more cases could be brought to the attention of social work.
"The key issue is that social workers need at the moment to hold their nerve and continue to do the things that they do very well. Unfortunately, that is not the bit the public ever read about," Baird said.
The coverage of the Baby P case in some sections of the media has been very hostile to the workers involved. Articles have called for the sacking or resignation of the individual case worker involved in the case, her ultimate boss Sharon Shoesmith, a doctor who examined the baby and several other workers.
One tabloid claims to have secured 850,000 signatures demanding the sacking of at least four social workers and a paediatrician who examined the child - the doctor was in fact dismissed in May.
Haringey Council and its staff have been vilified partly because of the perception that lessons have not been learned since the death of Victoria Climbie in February 2000 and because they seemed to miss so many opportunities to prevent Baby P's death. The horrific nature of the boy's demise has also contributed to strong feelings about the perceived failings of social services.
Members of the public have stuck posters on council buildings accusing staff of having blood on their hands. Meanwhile, criticism has spun wider than the council itself. One tabloid argued that the case must lead to change so that "alarm bells ring so loudly in the ears of every inept care and council worker in the UK that they realise the game is up," and suggesting that councils were "rife with dead wood riddled with incompetents".

"Prosecutors said the trove of tapes came to light after medical experts hired by two convicted defendants belatedly discovered videotapes in their cases and concluded they contradicted medical findings that sexual abuse had occurred.
"In those cases the new evidence proved crucial — one conviction has been overturned, and the second is in jeopardy...
"Though prosecutors downplay the significance of the tapes, experts for the defense say the videotapes could make a huge difference in child sex-abuse cases that rest heavily on medical evidence. Sometimes the allegations come years after the alleged incidents, making the search for physical trauma like scars, tearing or notching on the hymen or anus that much more challenging.
"Additionally, in many cases children recant their accusations before trial — so medical evidence is even more critical."
Agustin Uribe’s conviction for sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl was overturned by California’s Sixth Court of Appeals last year. Why? The San Jose Mercury News reports that the hospital at which the girl was examined maintained a videotape of the examination which showed that no abuse had occurred. Read the story here.
Now it develops that the hospital has some 3,000 newly-found videotapes of similar examinations in child abuse cases since 1991. As you might expect, defense attorneys in pending and closed cases are seeking access to those tapes.
So far we don’t know what was on the tape in the Uribe case that caused his conviction to be overturned. We also don’t know what, if anything, other tapes will reveal, but we should know soon. One defense attorney has already brought up the specter of the McMartin Pre-School case in which blatant fraud was used to accuse teachers of the most bizarre acts of child sexual and physical abuse. The methods used in that case to elicit false allegations from very young children have become the standard for what not to do in determining whether a child has been abused.
The Mercury News article suggests that Mary Ritter, coordinator of the Center for Child Protection at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center may be at the center of this controversy. An expert witness in a second case has said that his review of the videotape "clearly contradicts Mary Ritter's conclusion" that sexual abuse occurred.
These videotapes have the potential to overturn a great number of abuse convictions. That’s important enough, but they also may open a window on the ways the children in those cases are treated by authorities. Were they allowed to tell their stories honestly? Or were they manipulated into telling falsehoods by adults bent on incarcerating the accused at all costs?"Prosecutors said the trove of tapes came to light after medical experts hired by... more

An Army wife accused of setting her apartment on fire botched an attempt to collect on her husband's $400,000 insurance policy when he survived and her two children died instead, a federal prosecutor said.
Billi Jo Smallwood, 35, was denied bond at a Friday hearing in northeast Georgia, where she appeared on federal charges of damaging government property by fire.
"She set fire to her own home in hopes of killing her husband and wound up killing her kids," Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Gabay-Smith said.
The May 2007 fire at the Fort Campbell Army post on the Tennessee-Kentucky border killed 9-year-old Sam Fagan, and 2-year-old Rebekah Smallwood.
Smallwood's husband, Army Spc. Wayne Smallwood, crawled out of a second-level window and suffered a leg injury when he jumped. Their toddler daughter, Nevaeh, was not injured.
U.S. Magistrate Susan Cole said she denied bond mostly because Smallwood was a flight risk. The indictment against her was released Tuesday and she appeared in court in northeastern Georgia, where she has family. She will likely be transferred to Kentucky next week for a Dec. 10 arraignment.
"At this point the evidence appears strong against Mrs. Smallwood," the judge said. "It's a heinous crime that's alleged."
Matthew Cummings, a special agent with U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Division, testified that investigators determined gasoline was poured on the floor in the living room of their apartment.
He said Billi Jo Smallwood suffered second- and third-degree burns, but they were consistent with someone who set a fire. He said doors in the home had been locked from the inside and smoke detectors had been removed.
Cummings said the husband had a $400,000 life insurance policy and the investigation showed the couple's relationship was "rocky" and she was "concerned with his abuse of alcohol and drugs."
Just before the fire was set, the couple had returned from a trip to Georgia and had only $17, the agent said. She was aggravated that her husband had gone out earlier in the evening to a VFW club bar.
Smallwood's family members stood and identified themselves to the judge in support of her release on bond. Her husband, accompanied by friends in Army uniforms, stood and said, "My name is Wayne Smallwood and I am here to support my wife."
The prosecutor said Friday that Wayne Smallwood was just released from a county jail where he was in custody on a domestic abuse complaint by his wife.
The accused woman's mother testified that her daughter has been living in Brunswick recently and is active in the church. Her husband and other family members declined comment outside the courtroom but told the accused woman, "We love you, Billi," as she was led away in shackles, sobbing.An Army wife accused of setting her apartment on fire botched an attempt to collect on... more

My parents divorced when I was 2 years old. Because I was so young, I cannot remember anything of how the divorce actually felt at the time. But 12 years later, I am quite content with my life and my parents. Unlike many divorced couples with children, neither parent has primary custody of me, but rather, I switch between my parents' houses every other day, spending roughly equal time with my mother and my father.
When I describe the system to other kids, many of them gape at me and are absolutely baffled. "How I can stand my life being so crazy and confusing?" they ask. Others frankly say that my parents are weird for not doing some kind of every-other-weekend deal. I always respond by explaining how after all this time, the routine seems like normal and isn't confusing at all and that I would honestly not have it any other way.
I believe that I am a significantly more stable person because I get to see both my mom and dad so frequently. I don't think that my relationships with either of them would be as loving and open as they are, if I even switched houses every week, because for me at least, seeing both parents every day makes me closer with both of them. They both always know what's going on in my life, and there isn't that awkwardness of having to explain to one what happened during a week where they weren't part of my life. I have had a more "normal" experience growing up, in that seeing Mom and Dad each day is sort of like the experience someone would have living with married parents and seeing them both all the time.
It's definitely an essential component of my happiness as a person that my parents have found a way to be friends even though things didn't work out between them during their married life. After the divorce, no one would have blamed my parents if they never wanted to talk to each other again. But Mom and Dad rose above the anger they felt for each other, and focused on the 2-year-old daughter they had. They made what I believe is undoubtedly the right choice, by arranging it so that both of them would be able to see me daily and, when around me at least, acting in a friendly manner toward each other. Eventually, after a while of being friendly, they actually became friends. Now I might even venture to say that they are among each other's best friends.My parents divorced when I was 2 years old.

Page 40 of The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments By William S. Comanor addresses the phenomenon of the 'Deadbeat Dad'; starting with a welfare scenerio, showing that since dads pay money to the state, and AFDC pays the mother there simply is no incentives for fathers to pay support thru the system, because $1 paid to the state provides $0 benefit to the child, and only payments under the table directly to the mother or child have any real benefit to the child.
Many non custodial parents [NCP] argue that all parents have a responsibility to care for thier child, but that making these payments thru the state is the least responsible course of action, because the only real support a NCP gives a child is the time and money actually spent with, and directly on a child.
The book by Comanor explains Child Support Civil Disobedience for higher income levels thru an analysis of the difference between individual and collective consumption preferences. Child support payments raises the income of the custodial [CP] parent thus raising the individual consumption preference of that parent, so that only a portion of the Non Custodial Parent's child support payment is now allocated to the child. So, like in the welfare baby moma scenerio, the $1 dollar of NCP pays in support payment is no longer $1 going to the child, but rather a fraction gets apportioned to the child, with the remainder enhancing the consumption of the CP due. The NCP views 'under the table' and 'off the books' support payments as a dollar for dollar contribution to the child, while forced state child support schemes are viewed as contributing little or nothing to the child.
Often a CP must enroll a child in daycare, hire a babysitter or other activity after divorce, to replace the child caring role of the NCP previosly held in the marriage. In this scenerio litigations ensue to minimize NCP contact in order to maximize the child support payments to the CP, which do nothing to benefit the child. but simply transfer both the income and the role of the NCP to a third party, often against the wishes and preferences of the NCP. When a NCP shares in the care of a child, he may have preferences to care for the child say 50 hours a month, and spend say $500 a month on the child, and the child directly benefits $500 and quality parent involvment. When forced out of the family by the state, the $500 a month support payment paid by the NCP may only pay for the 50 hours of supervision at say $10/hr, and while the NCP 'out of pocket' expense is still $500, the child recieves $0 benefit from this transfer and both the chilld and NCP are denied other benefits of care and companionship.
In the case of a high conflict divorce at higher income levels, reasonable parents may conclude that $0 of thier child support payments does anything to support thier child, and it is just another name for payment directly to the corrupt court that is paid to remove the NCP from thier children. The Wall Street Journal published a recent study showing the average legal fees for divorce to be about $78,000. In other words a $500/month child support payment by the NCP to the CP would take 13 years to payoff typical legal fees needed to win the custody battle and resulting child support payment. Thus, $0 dollar benefiting the child compared to an alternative resolution without legal fees leaves that amount to benefit the child. Parents may simply view the forced orders for custody payments as Lawyer Support; and Lawyer Support Civil Disobedience has a much nicer ring to it. Corruption across Family courts could be easily measured by comparing data on legal fees, child support amounts, and allocation of parenting time... if the courts were not so corrupt and made this information readily available for analysis.Page 40 of The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments By William S.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Soon five new district judges will preside over courtrooms in Mecklenburg County.
The worry with some residents is there is going to be some on the job training, which could slow down the judicial process in the county and create a backlog of cases.
“In my 29th year, I've never seen anything like this.” George Laughrun is a longtime attorney in Charlotte.
Laughrun is nervous about all of the new judges elected last night and he says the local legal community is baffled.
“We lost a lot of judges with a lot of years of experience on the bench,” he said.
Theo Nixon was unseated by a candidate who never openly campaigned for the job and many say expressed no interest in the job.

“We're ecstatic, we're very pleased.” Natalie Bingham is with a court advocacy group who worked to oust some of the incumbents.
“We have a courthouse here that's supposed to be for the people. It has not been functioning for the people or for the best interest of families,” she said.
In fact, people on both sides admitted that in these nonpartisan races it came down to one thing -- change.
“If you're in power now or some position of authority then it’s time to sweep you out, a new regime and new day, change,” Bingham said.

A demonstration was staged today outside Harrow crown court after M25 protester Geoff Hibbert was jailed for six months.
After already spending a month on remand in Wormwoods Scrubs Geoff is expected to be incarcerated for at least another ten weeks before becoming eligible for early release, his appeal has been lodged and is ongoing.
Judge Alan Greenwood drew gasps from the gallery as he concluded that these type of protests were not justified as there is; "no problem with family law" and that the sentence was a "deterrent" to future protests.
Rffj believe that if you are a UK citizen you now have no rights to carry out a peaceful protest under this police state, sponsored by a failing Labour government who have continued to erode our civil liberties with rafts of new legislation aimed at silencing those who dare to question.
In our criminal courts we regularly see shoplifters, burglers, muggers and fraudsters walk free or receive a token slap on the wrist despite having previous criminal records.
Yet here we see a hard-working peaceful father, who had no previous police record, criminalised and jailed for his first offence.
Geoff has spent over fifty thousand pounds in legal fees trying to secure a relationship with his daughter, he has not seen her for around two years.
He simply wished to highlight the injustice he encountered by staging a peaceful protest - after fully exploring every other legal avenue what other option was available to him?
Rffj pledge that the protests will continue with increased frequency and to ensure maximum disruption to the workings of family courts and all of their associated agencies, the war against fathers has reached a new level today, we must all stand together and fight the injustice then hit back hard after the treatment of our brother Geoff Hibbert by the state.16 July 2009: Category: News Posted by: Toon

On Super Bowl Sunday in 1999, the year Adam Herrman went missing but no one reported it, one of his aunts says she saw the 11-year-old chained to a bathtub faucet at his Towanda mobile home.
It looked like he had handcuffs on, said his aunt, Kim Winslow. Winslow, now 48, said it was the last time she saw Adam.
Other close relatives of Adam's adoptive mother, Valerie Herrman of Derby, say they saw her abuse him over the years and that he was forced to sleep in a bathtub. In at least one instance, a relative reported alleged abuse to authorities.
Butler County sheriff's officers plan to bring in search dogs and ground-penetrating radar to help solve the mystery of what happened to Adam Herrman.
The Wichita-Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit received a tip about a month ago that the child had not been seen for nine years.
Detectives are investigating the case as if Adam were dead, even though they can't rule out that he is still alive, Butler County Sheriff Craig Murphy said at a news conference Monday.
Warner Eisenbise, the Wichita attorney representing Herrman and her husband, Doug Herrman, Adam's adoptive father, said, "I firmly believe that they are innocent and had nothing to do with his death, if in fact he died."
But Eisenbise conceded that it is possible that the parents could be charged with failing to report a missing child.
Murphy released a fourth-grade picture of Adam, who authorities think disappeared from Towanda in the summer of 1999 when he was 11 or 12. Murphy asked the public to call with any information.
Relatives say Valerie Herrman, who is in her early 50s, had told them over the years that Adam was taken back into state custody. Recently, the adoptive parents have said through their attorney that Adam ran away and they did not report it.
Law enforcement agencies are bringing in search dogs from other states, Butler County sheriff's Detective Sgt. Kelly Herzet said.
"We're asking for all the resources we can ask for on this case," Herzet said.

EL DORADO, Kan. – The Kansas parents who failed to report their 11-year-old adopted son missing nearly a decade ago are "people of interest" as authorities search for him nationwide, a sheriff said Monday.
Investigators only recently learned Adam Herrman was missing and are focused on finding him, Butler County Sheriff Craig Murphy said. Adam was 11 when he disappeared in 1999 from a mobile home park in Towanda where he lived.
Authorities would not say whether they believed Adam, who would now be 21, is alive. "We are working it as if it is a death — but we are not leaning one way or the other," Murphy said.
Doug and Valerie Herrman adopted Adam at 2 1/2 years old, and he had been in foster care before that. The parents have not been arrested or charged with any crime, and Murphy said no charges would be filed while investigators focused on the search.
The family's attorney, Warner Eisenbise, said his clients did not harm the child. He said the Herrmans are innocent of any wrongdoing other than not reporting their son missing, which is against Kansas law.
"He was a problem child. He ran away frequently to the point of exasperation," Eisenbise said. "My clients feel very guilty that the last time he left they didn't make an attempt to locate him. Every other time, the police were called or he wandered back. They assumed he found one of his siblings or went back to his biological parents."
Murphy said investigators have not confirmed whether Adam had a history of running away. The family has cooperated with investigators, he said.
The Herrmans now live in the Wichita suburb of Derby, in neighboring Sedgwick County.
Adam was homeschooled when he disappeared, Eisenbise said.
Murphy said a search of the empty lot where the family's mobile home once stood gave investigators one answer they sought, but he did not elaborate other than to say no human remains were found.
Murphy's office did not receive a missing persons report until contacted recently by Sedgwick County's exploited and missing children's unit. He declined to say who tipped them off. It was not clear exactly when they learned of the boy's disappearance.
Investigators have not found any confirmed data on Adam's whereabouts since 1999.
Murphy asked the public for help and issued a plea to the missing boy himself: "If Adam Herrman is alive out there — and he would see this — I would ask him to contact us immediately."EL DORADO, Kan. – The Kansas parents who failed to report their 11-year-old... more

The constitution and laws of the United States purportedly support marriage and parental rights, but in reality these precepts are undermined by whores of Radical Feminism that pervades our courts. "Whore" is a word that evolved from the prehistoric Germanic word 'hraz' meaning "one who desires" to the later christainized meaning "adulterer." The feminine of this, 'hrn', became 'hre' in Old English, the ancestor of Modern English word 'whore'. Modern meanings include: 1) A prostitute. 2) A person considered sexually promiscuous. 3) A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain. Promiscuous was long defined as lewd conduct or any sex outside of marriage, a similar meaning exists today for sex outside of a committed relationship. Whoredom was frequently the basis or grounds for a divorce, in accordance with biblical precepts. A very strict definintion of whore would be any sex outside of marriage, thus all prostitutes are whores, but not all whores prostitutes. An exceedingly strict view of prostitute would only exempt married persons who avail themselves to thier spouse with no conditions or restrictions, as many relationships exist where sex is often playfully bartered as a reward for something, such as a gift, cash, or mowing the lawn.. a practice even within marriage.
No fault divorce ignores grounds for divorce, so a woman seeking divorce for the desire to have sex outside of marriage (whoredom) has the same legal standing as an abandoned loyal, faithfu,l wife, or a woman who was abused, neglected or mistreated in a marriage. No fault divorce takes no account of which party violated the marriage contract, nor which party was injured by the breech of marriage contract. Radical feminism proclaims all women are the abused, exploited, coerced victims of all men, and in so doing has reduced all women to the status of trafficked whores and prostitutes, which is essentially the Radical Feminist definition of marriage. Radical Feminism diseminates propaganda to target and villify all men as abusers, with women a privildged victim class with special rights and benefits. This is exactly the same propaganda used by the Woman's Klan to justify slavery and often violent discrimination of blacks, who were portrayed as irresponsible, aggessive, hostile beasts, who basically needed to be beat down to protect 'white womanhood'.
The book Whores of the Court: The Fraud of Psychiatric Testimony and the Rape of American Justice, was written by MARGARET HAGEN, PhD. She is an expert in this field, and teaches Psychology, Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology at Boston University. Her book provides an excellent analysis of venal ’whores’, usually feminists, who work for the courts and provide biased, fabricated, and false testimony.
Many family courts consist of layers of lawyers, judges, therapists, counseling, visit centers and other venal whores who's livihood is spewing radical feminist ideology that advocates divorce and single parent motherhood as preferable to marriage, paternity, shared parenting, or fatherhood as it is alleged by our laws. In effect, whoremongering courts may easily reverse the intent and meaning of laws purporting to support marriage and fatherhood, by merely trotting out their favored whores, who provide biased, lewd , vulgar or unsupported testimony in favor of maternal custody over shared parenting. Child Custody, is the main determinant to the distribution of marital assets, the house, and the future income of both parents. Feminist whores consistently advocate sole or majority of custody to women, because this outcome results in financial benefits to the mothers, and funding to the other whores, whoremongers and thier feminist programs.The constitution and laws of the United States purportedly support marriage and... more
