With the far reaching and intrusive data sources that exist within the various Child Support Enforcement Agencies and their widespread lack of accountability associated with these information systems, the nation's taxpayers should be suspect of what goes on behind the bullet-proof glass and sealed doors. It is important to note that the program funds for these offices are derived from federal sources, known as Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
Read about yet another lack of accountability with the Virginia office of child support enforcement.

The answer is NO and you are about to learn why. It is not Ex-spouses, Ex-Girlfriends, and Ex-Boyfriends that are causing/creating the pain that other parents suffer. It may feel that way because that is the person that is seen as the adversary and who is believed to be in control of the situation. The first thing that has to be noted is that parental alienation, divorce, and separation is not even about YOU or YOUR children... this is about EVERYONE and EVERYONE'S CHILDREN. "It is infinitely more valuable to fight for the rights of others than to fight for your own." It is the government's fault for creating, empowering, and allowing these situations and actions by one fit parent against another fit parent that is crippling the parent-child relationship. In some cases, it is even causing death. (See Family Court is Deadly Business: 2007).The answer is NO and you are about to learn why. It is not Ex-spouses, Ex-Girlfriends,... more
CPR was founded in January 2003 by a grass roots group of concerned citizens affected by family law. Through life experiences of close friends and family, the female founder saw the impact of prejudice against non-custodial parents. Appalled by the obvious discrimination and overt bias against non-custodial parents in family court, CPR was established under the belief that the family is the primary battleground between the forces of good and evil. Because of this spiritual battle, CPR is established as a faith-based organization to preserve and restore the fractured family, to protect children.
Vision
CPR Vision Statement: A diverse, inter-denominational, faith-based, non-partisan, moderate, gender-neutral, non-profit public policy and educational organization to restore, preserve, protect, and encourage equal rights and equal responsibilities of both parents to protect children.

Mission
CPR Mission Statement: Bold advocacy, practical education, and compassionate support, pursuing thoughtful, thorough, and accurate analysis that promotes justice for parents and leads people to responsible action that results in less government and protects the rights and responsibilities of both parents equally; this pursuit is to ensure the best interests of children and encourage their healthy development, by encouraging fair judicial decisions that allow citizens to resolve parental differences privately and strengthen fractured and hurting families.

Ohio NBC 4 Contines Updates on Fathers 4 Justice Crane Protest. There have been unconfirmed reports that police agencies may be mobilizing to take the crane by force to remove Donald Tenn, the last remaining father from a Crane in Columbus Ohio.
Paul Fisher was arraigned earlier this morning after climbing down from the Crane Monday evening for Felony Vandalism, under the accusation that bolt cutters may have been used to gain entry to the crane site where two Fathers 4 Justice members climbed atop a 100ft Crane.
According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.05 under Section (E) the applicable Felony could a be fourth or fifth degree offense brought against the protesters. These technicalities affect the severity of punishment. Along with other overriding provisions of ORC 2929.11 there can be a fine of up to $2500.00.
According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.11 pertaining to felony sentencing ..."The overriding purposes of felony sentencing are to protect the public
from future crime by the offender and others and to punish the offender. To achieve those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the need for incapacitating the offender, deterring the offender and others from future crime, rehabilitating the offender, and making restitution to the victim of the offense, the public, or both."
Additionally, no matter the outcome of either trial, a conviction, or restitution assignment, nothing in these statutes prohibit the bringing of a civil action for additional damages against any of the alleged suspects or their associates which has been expressly preserved in the Ohio Revise Code under pertinent and numerous sections.
Two quotes come to mind immediately after reading some of the information are these: "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" according to George Orwell, but that is quickly followed up by the philosophy of Voltaire in his statement that "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong."Ohio NBC 4 Contines Updates on Fathers 4 Justice Crane Protest.

Where does Obama and McCain stand on Parental Rights? McCain calls it a tar baby and Obama just wants to blame black fathers.
What we have in Michigan is a Democratic leadership that has literally violated Article IV Section 16 of our Constitution that aims to prevent these type of tactics by the house "rules" that cover the passage of our bills. If you have no right to parent, then you really have no other rights at all. First they raise your taxes and now they want to raise your children. House Speaker... more
