From the Jacket: A judge for more than twenty years, Robert Dierker has enjoyed a distinguished legal career. But now that career may be on the line. Why? Because he is breaking the code of silence that has long kept judges from speaking out to present a withering account of how radical liberals run roughshod over the Constitution, waging war on the laws of nature, the laws of reason, and the law of God.  Highly Recommended. Paperback Version

A collection of letters from children to the judges that handled their cases. Many express the children's displeasure with the courts arrangements. Something that becomes very clear is the loving bond that children have with both parents, their innocent dismissal of 'grown-up' problems and shy they need significant access to both parents.

"My stepdad explained the Justis Sistem to me. It does not sound right."

 

Excellent review of of the presumption of shared parenting. Discuss the biases against it and the absence of rationality and logic behind these biases. Highly Recommended.

Excellent. Dr. Warshack is a prominent psychologist who has completed many scientific studies on divorce, custody, etc. One of his most significant being an article in "Family Court Review" where him and a colleague dispel common myths on how children bond to their parents at infant and young ages. In this Book Warshak guides parents (mostly non-custodial) through the pitfalls of a vindictive ex who is trying to 'brainwash' a child against other parent. Provides specific cases examples and techniques used by the alienating parent and strategies to safely offset these. Highly recommended.

This is one of the first books to really expose the current family court systems as a sham. How they are destroying our children in very insidious ways all under the facade of 'The Best Interest.' Stewart Rein also produced a few television programs on the subject one called 'Wednesday's Child.' which had limited exposure not because of its quality and comprehensiveness but instead because of the corruptness of the system. Highly Recommended.

Title is self-explanatory - not reviewed yet - but high potential.

The title says it all - what we really know but no one wants to admit: Child support is for the 'Girl' not the children. 'Girl, go get that child support' so that you can live it up!

Demonstrates what Non-Custodial parents are up against and why Equal Parenting is so Important.

Excellent but expensive complete evaluation of our current child support system including laws, history, and issues. Contributions by one of our most recognized child support experts Mark Rogers.

An eye opening view of our current family court system, its impact on children, finances, parents, etc. Dispels many popular myths. Myths that have built policy based completely on misguided facts or outright lies. This is an important book to read. Highly Recommended.

A critical problem of our current family court systems is that the system overly empowers one parent of the child over the other. The child always struggles with an internal believe that both are equally important, perhaps in different ways, but equally important. When one parent is so greatly empowered, that parent can easily abuse their power to the determent of the child's relationship with the other parent. Arguably, this is a form of abuse, mental abuse. Custodial parents have the power to mount such campaigns often thinking of revenge against the other parent but frequently ignoring the damage such campaigns do to children. Ms. Baker's book exposes this damage from adults who have been through the process firsthand and how they recovered or, in many ways, never recovered, because the special years are never regained. Highly recommended.

Excellent book written by a renowned psychologist. Focuses on the true best interest of the child. Strategies for your own behavior to ensure that you are doing the best to support your children during difficult times and also strategies to identify and offset poor behavior by your children's' other parent. Don't let the title fool you - an important and serious book dealing with serious issues. Wittman developed the 'Kids First' Program. Click here for more info. Click here for article by Wittman.
