About My Blog

Why I started this blog:

First, to serve as a place for me to re-post interesting legal news and share a few of my own opinions on some stuff as well.

Second, a place where I have gathered a collection of different "self help" legal resources, and continue to add more whenever I find them, for anyone to make use of for FREE.

Third, FREE study aids for anyone to use who wants to learn. If you're an apprentice or just someone who wants to be a bit more educated in the law than your average "layperson", the info and links provided on my blog are for EVERYONE!

A little about me:

I have a passion for the law and I feel it's one of the most important things we should at least try to familiarize ourselves with. Knowledge is power and it's impossible to stand up for your rights if you don't even know what your rights are. My passion for becoming an attorney isn't motivated by the prospect of making a lot of money. It comes from a sincere desire to help people and to defend those who are unable to defend themselves.

My thoughts on Official Misconduct and Wrongful Convictions:

Some wrongful convictions are caused by honest mistakes. But there are still many cases where prosecutors are just focused on securing convictions even if it means sacrificing due process. There are prosecutors who are honest and trustworthy people, but even if one in every thousand is dishonest, wrongful convictions will continue to occur. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system is ripe for abuse, because people in positions of authority will often abuse their power. They send people to prison every day, for a living. They work with each other, and form friendships with one another. So it's only natural for prosecutors, judges, police, etc... to stick together. This creates a system with very few "checks and balances", and very rarely do we see anyone ever being held accountable for misconduct. Like the saying goes... "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

I can't stand bullies and I believe that people who abuse their positions of authority should be punished more severely for their crimes, because of the great amount of trust that society has placed in them. I think that all too often people forget that the ones employed in these jobs are "public servants". But instead of serving the public, they would rather serve themselves.

Advocacy for Fathers' Rights and Equal Parenting:

All too often, men from all over the country are denied access to their children for no good reason. Honest hard-working men who want nothing more than to share equal parenting time, are denied the opportunity to play an active role in raising their children and are instead just treated as nothing more than a paycheck. Every day men have their children stolen from them and then are extorted for their money by the DCSS (Department of Child Support Services). Often the family court will grant custody to mothers that don't work and are on welfare over fathers who have jobs and more means to provide for their children. I believe this is because the whole child support system is nothing but an extortion racket under the guise of "making sure that non-custodial parents are providing for their children", but every child support payment goes through the DCSS before it gets to the custodial parent, and if the custodial parent is on welfare, they only receive $50.00 of the amount of support that the non-custodial parent has been ordered to pay each month. The DCSS keeps the rest of the money. This is also why the District Attorney's office will not pursue cases of non-payment if the custodial parent is not receiving any government aid, and one of the reasons why so many custodial parents seem to get away with acts of parental alienation.

Parental alienation is a group of behaviors that are damaging to children's mental and emotional well-being and can interfere with a relationship between a child and either parent. These behaviors whether verbal or non-verbal, cause a child to be mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems, and/or the enemy, to be feared, hated, disrespected, and/or avoided.

Parental alienation deprives children of their right to be loved by and show love for both of their parents. The destructive actions by an alienating parent or another third person (like another family member, or even a well-meaning mental health care worker) can become abusive to the child - as the alienating behaviors are disturbing, confusing, and often frightening, to the child, and can rob the child of their sense of security and safety leading to maladaptive emotional or psychiatric reactions. Most people do not know about Parental Alienation until they experience it for themselves, so I try to raise awareness on the subject however I can. 

I started becoming an advocate for equal parenting and fathers' rights while assisting my (now deceased) husband in fighting his ex in court who was alienating him from their son. The whole ordeal was very emotionally draining on him, so one day I told him to focus his attention on just enjoying the time that he does get to spend with his son, and I will focus my attention on all of the legal work for him. From that point on, I immersed myself in studying the law and the workings of the court. My mind was a sponge, and I wanted to soak up as much knowledge as possible. Your biggest enemy is not arming yourself with the knowledge you need to fight and win your case. Information is your best weapon and ally. Knowledge is power.
