Q: Mental Anguish Fighting Family Law

Hi folks, I'm a single dad having a nightmare with my ex over contact with my nipper. There's been no violence, no debts, no "other party" from either side, we just couldn't live together. Now she's denying me all contact with my boy and it's cracking me up. I've been in touch with a lawyer and we've had the first court date. The judge told her and her brief that me and my son had been apart too long already (six weeks) and that the welfare officer (CAFCASS) should arrange a date ASAP. Well, there's been nothing from CAFCASS since then even though I called them the next day. "It takes time." she said. Meanwhile I sit and wait – paying for my legal team while my ex is on legal aid – twiddling my thumbs and missing my son. ANyone have any suggestions?

I do empathize deeply with you. My child was internationally abducted by his mother. She returned to the states, living in her parents back yard in Michigan. Due to circumstances engineered by her , I live now in SW Washington State. I last saw my son in October of last year. I have offered repeatedly to fly mother and child here to allow me to see my son. No dice to date on her end. Games galore. The court back there awarded her physical custody and joint legal custody to me, which she is trying to strip me of. Like you, NO violence, etc. I have never shown anything but love toward my son (he is two years old).

She still, months after the abduction, is holding not one but TWO passports in her posession for my son. He is a dual U.S. / C.R. citizen. Absolutely unreal. This court, after being made aware of what happened months ago, still to date allowing her to retain these passports for my son is simply derelict in its duty to uphold the best interest of the child. Federally mandated.

People love to slap tags and labels on others for control purposes in this country. I do not know you personally, but I will offer this: If you know you have done right, that you are and have been doing everything you can for your child, do NOT allow anyone to slap such tag (like being mentally unstable) on you. Keep the faith and fight the good fight for your child. Maintain the moral high ground at all times. Seek solace and support when and where needed. Know you are not alone.

Children need BOTH their parents in their lives. The nanny state here needs to understand this, and advance court rulings that truly reflect the childs best interest, as well as fairness to the parents. Until they do, they are aiding and abeiting in the destruction of society, and they are falling down on their jobs. Hold them accountable, peacefully and legally. Watch your bottom line, to keep the legal churn from bankrupting you (the high cost of litigation is another indicator, i.m.h.o., of corruption and lack of integrity in the legal system).

It is time We The People took back this nation. Long overdue. Millions of laws of statutory code, when this government chronically falls down on upholding the Bill of Rights. When their version of the golden rule is he / she who has the gold makes the rules. S...can the special rights. Restore real, reasonable EQUAL RIGHTS. Equally applied to all, regardless of race, creed, gender, etc.

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.

Peace and justice for you and your son.
