Purpose - The purpose of the Council
and the networking system is to facilitate
contact between people in the reform effort who
share both a common goal and methods necessary
to achieve real reform. To promote a useful
discussion between members and provide an easy
means of keeping up with events.
Are you working to reform Family Law as
it effects people through either divorce,
separation, or the actions of Child Protective
services?
Having a hard time keeping up with the news
and coming events? Want to have your own BLOG,
but can't afford it? Would you like to be
better connected to people who share identical
goals?

petition in support of

Shared Goal / Membership requirements
- Anyone can register and have MONITOR status
at the web site. FULL site usage is limited to
MEMBERS -- those people who share a common
goal of protecting Family Rights. All MEMBERS
of the Leadership Council share these core
beliefs:
- BOTH biological parents have a right to
know they have a child.
- BOTH parents are presumed FIT & EQUAL
(in terms of both physical and legal custody
of their children).
- If anyone (a spouse, relative, or Child
Protective "services") wishes to challenge
that, you have a right to speedy trial,
counsel, and the protection of a criminal
jury and a unanimous verdict.
The "state" needs to prove you were
a demonstrated serious and intentional
threat to your child's safety and acted
with malintent.
- A child has a right to EQUAL contact with
BOTH parents.
A child does NOT have a right to
pick a preferred parent. A child does
NOT have a right to parents who always
act in the child's best interest. Sound
strange?
It's family life. Very personal,
very dynamic &
relationships/priorities are always
changing.
- In our discussions with ourselves and our
public actions, all should be treated with
dignity, respect and compassion. We can
condemn injustice without malice.
We support those who are willing to
participate in NonViolent
Action and risk arrest/jail in
peaceful demonstrations.
- We identify ourselves as 'parents' seeking
reform. Our issue is family rights and the
ability to raise & nuture our own child
free of government interference.
Our primary focus is NOT men's
rights or women's rights or child
support reform.
