Child Support

Debtors Prison in Pittsburgh PA

bulletIt is reported by a Pittsburgh newspaper that a local sheriff and "Goodwill Industries" are planning to lock up fathers and only let them out to work in order to pay "child support".  Is this slavery?  It sure is.  UNBELIEVABLE!
bulletACLU involved in Pittsburgh?  See this story also.  It appears that the ACLU is trying to cut a deal to make sure that a few of your rights are not violated.  What about all the rest that are violated on a daily basis?
bulletLawrence County judges free 37 supposed "child support offenders".  This appears to be a result of ACLU involvement.  Good work ACLU, however, there are numerous violations of civil rights being perpetrated by PA Domestic Relations.  There is a long way to go.  Read another article on this by Jeffery Leving
bulletPittsburgh prison suicide.  What was the real reason for this suicide?  
bulletHere is another interesting article about the suicide in  Pittsburgh PA.  This one deals with suicide and the fact that the real reason for the suicide was covered up as usual by the media.  This is in reference to the above article. 

Courts seize Pennsylvania father's bank account

bulletRead about how a Pennsylvania father's assets were frozen for a court imposed debt that he didn't even know about.  How do they get away with this?  This man wrote letters to Tom Ridge and his other elected representatives which, no doubt, will be IGNORED because this "seized" money just adds more to the total of "child support collected" that the state is making money from.  In this man's case, you will hear a lot of passing the buck and excuses that "the money" belongs to the children.  Yeah right...the "children" never see any of the money in this state.  Most of the time it is a FREE court confiscated PAYCHECK for the children's mother and her live in boyfriend.  That's the TRUTH.

Father arrested in Schuylkill County Pennsylvania.  (Hey, this is where this website originates, how about that!)

bulletI feel there might be a little bit of a "spin" on this story by the media.  In this it was said that "police said" that this man possessed "anti-government propaganda, including a picture of Osama bin Laden" (this is what I mean by SPIN).  What would cause him to be that upset with Schuylkill County Domestic Relations office?  It's not too hard to figure out.  When people start taking drastic measures, something is drastically wrong.  Could it be that he got tired of living on half of the money that he works for and never seeing his kids?
bulletMy letter to the editor concerning this story as published, not as written.
bulletLetter to the editor by Bob Kearns

Here is some important case law for those of you that were court ordered to continue paying "child support" in Pennsylvania after the child turns 18.  Child support stops in Pennsylvania when the child turns 18 and you are not obligated by law to pay for any college tuition.

Debtors Prison in Montgomery County Pennsylvania

bulletIt appears that the ACLU has gotten involved in some of the gross violations of due process that are taking place in Montgomery County Pennsylvania.  From what I understand, the ACLU feels that fathers who are locked up in debtors prison for either not being ABLE TO PAY, or REFUSING TO PAY court ordered child support awards, were locked up WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.  This is happening in EVERY county in Pennsylvania and it's great that the ACLU is finally recognizing this for the crime that it is.  Instead of cutting deals with the court in Montgomery, the ACLU should be either filing a FEDERAL lawsuit or filing IMPEACHMENT PETITIONS for the judges in question.  Read about it here.  Contact the ACLU and tell them that it's efforts need to go much further.
bulletPhiladelphia Inquirer article
bulletPress release on the Stephen Lewis case.  Mr. Lewis is the inmate that got the ACLU involved in Montgomery County's illegal incarceration of Pennsylvania fathers.  As this case further develops, I will post information.  This is an OUTRAGE and an impeachment petition should be filed IMMEDIATELY on Judge Daniele.
bulletLetter to Senator Gerald J. Lavalle from Jay Todd regarding even MORE corruption uncovered in Montgomery County concerning the fathers that are illegally locked up in debtors prison.  I'll post the good Senator's response to this one when and if I can get it.
bulletPress Release that was sent to me from a Montgomery County Lawyer.  I am not sure if it relates to the debtors prison that Montgomery County Judges have going on but I will post it with all the other good stuff from what appears to be the most corrupt county in the state and let you decide.
bulletSpecial treatment for Legislators when it comes to Child $upport?  It appears that A Pennsylvania member of the House of Representatives is getting a taste of what average people are subjected to concerning absurd child support awards.  The only difference is that he is getting TAX PAYER funded attorneys to try and declare the acts being committed against him by the courts UNCONSTITUTIONAL.  It seems that there is some sort of double standard going on here when it comes to the elected hierarchy and the common man.

Child Custody

Pennsylvania Boycott, please read

bulletThis says it all about Pennsylvania and the treatment of Fathers and their children.  Pennsylvania has a judicial system that is out of control.  Family Court Judges can get away with just about anything they want with complete disregard of the Constitution and the rights of the tax paying citizens that live here.  The worse part about this is that they are accountable to no one for their actions.

Shared parenting legislation introduced in Pennsylvania

bulletSenate Bill 1276, an attempt at presumed equal custody as a standard, has been introduced by Senator Gerlach.  This bill doesn't even scratch the surface as far as the multitude of problems that need to be addressed and corrected to make the "system" fair to both parents and children.  It is a start and needs to be supported.

Pennsylvania SB 1260 as revised by Attorney Gene Wrona

bullet Although PFCR does not endorse SB1260 even in it's revised state, it's here for informational purposes and is definitely a step in the right direction.  We believe even this very good revised legislation doesn't go far enough to guarantee each and every parent and child equal protection under the laws, not to detract from anything Gene is doing, because he is doing an excellent job.  We believe that any proposed legislation needs to be spelled out in black and white like UPREPA is in order to guarantee all parties involved are treated equally and fairly.  The common practice that most judges remove children from a parent for no other reason than what they believe to be in the "best interests" of the child needs to be stopped.  Without evidence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt of any criminal  wrongdoing, these people have no business taking children away from any parent and making them a visitor and free paycheck to the winning parent.  THIS PRACTICE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.  The issue of socialistic, unconstitutional, arbitrary, excessive, child support also needs to be addressed in legislation because it is DIRECTLY related to the issue of custody.

 

Paternity Fraud

Story on a ruling concerning paternity fraud in PA dealing with alimony/child support ordered from men who are not the biological father of the child.

Abuse of Power and Judicial Impeachment Petitions

Abuse of power in Pennsylvania Family Court

bulletA press release on just one of the many abuse of power crimes committed against the parents of Pennsylvania by Attorney Eugene Wrona.  Cases like this take place on a daily basis in the Pennsylvania family courts and it is rare to find an attorney that will risk his or her career to stand up and do what is right.  We are going to bring as much ATTENTION as possible to this one and maybe it will help stop the abuse.  This organization supports 100%, the actions of Attorney Eugene Wrona and I encourage all readers to get in touch with, and show him unprecedented support.  It is rare to find a true American law professional, who believes in and knows what the judicial system is supposed to be and will try to correct the corruption.  As of now, parents can't trust the family courts to make fair and reasonable decisions.  Hopefully that will be changing soon.

bulletA letter to the head of Pennsylvania's "Fatherhood Initiative".  What a joke.  i hear their advertisements on the radio all the time stating "be a dad".  Well hell... we would all be dads if we were allowed to by the courts.  Maybe we could be even more of a dad if we were allowed to keep some of our money and spend it on our kids as we see fit.

Schuylkill county propaganda alert.  

bulletThis is the kind of pure crap that for some reason has a rather large influence in Schuylkill county.  In Schuylkill county, PFA's are handed out without proof of anything as an excuse (in MOST CASES) for women to get the kids out of the house and GET CUSTODY and CHILD SUPPORT.  In Schuylkill county, FATHERS ARE AUTOMATICALLY GUILTY... NO PROOF OF ANYTHING REQUIRED.  Schuylkill Women in Crisis is a recipient of YOUR TAX MONEY and it enables them to do what they do, which is basically remove fathers from their own house and remove fathers from their OWN kids FOR NO REASON, most of the time.  I have first hand experience with bogus PFA's in Schuylkill County.  I am an expert witness in this area.

 

News From Other States

Shared parenting Bill introduced in Tennessee

bulletThis bill would mandate the family courts of Tennessee to protect the true "best interests" of children.  Will the good people of Tennessee allow all of the "professionals", who have an interest in keeping things the way they are to quash a landmark piece of fair legislation? 

This is how they hold hearings in Colorado

bulletFrom what I get out of this, the people that were holding a hearing on proposed legislation only wanted to hear one side of the story.  A reporter with a video camera was the excuse to pull this legislation without cause.  Could it be that they didn't want the people that favored this bill on video tape since they far outnumbered those who were testifying against it?

Child support guidelines declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL in Tennessee and Georgia.

bulletFollow the links above to read the decisions handed down in both Tennessee and Georgia by judges who are actually doing the job that they took an oath to do.  It appears that the United States Constitution and the Constitutions of these respective states matter to these judges, unlike most of the others.  What is wrong with all the others?  Maybe they all need their memories refreshed on what their job is and that they have a duty to ensure that Americans are provided due process and equal protection under the law.  That memory refresher would be called IMPEACHMENT for the crimes against humanity that are being committed daily against court ordered NON-CUSTODIAL parents, who shouldn't even be NON-CUSTODIAL in the first place if their rights weren't violated by these judges who take their kids from them and half their paycheck (it's called slavery).
bulletThis article appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It seems there is one legislator in GA, Earl Ehrhart (R-Powder Springs), who is actually trying to stand up to the Child Support Industry. This fight in GA bears watching closely by all of you because Pennsylvania uses the exact same so called "guidelines".

Another constitutional challenge to the current child support industry

bulletI am not familiar with the required legal "format" of a "constitutional challenge" but this one that originated in California is nothing but the stone cold truth and is worth reading.  I wonder if this one will be ignored like the one that was submitted in Pennsylvania over 2 years ago.  No matter what state this takes place in, the same crimes against humanity are being challenged and ignored by the people that have an OBLIGATION as public servants to act on these challenges.

Child support lawsuit filed against the state of Colorado

bulletThis is the official lawsuit that was filed by Wayne Stillman of the Center for Children's Justice.  This needs to be done in any state that uses "child support guidelines" that produce excessive and arbitrary awards, including Pennsylvania.  You can use this one as an excellent example.

Texas Outrage caused by family court bias

bulletThere is an outrage with mass public support currently going on in the state of Texas where a Texas father has been subjected to the status quo treatment by the courts and exiled to the status of visitor to his own child and free paycheck to the child's mother.  James Loose, the Texas father, and a large group of citizens of the state of Texas are saying NO MORE and standing up to the tyrannical family court system of Tarrant County Texas.  For  more information and an opportunity to express your concern via fax or e-mail to the judge... click here.
