Using the Courts to rule over parents and over parenting as is done with the Child Support and Custody laws is like fixing a TV set with a base ball bat.
It is true that a base ball bat will work some times as so does the Courts do right in some cases, but more often they do more harm and makes matters worse.
Both the federal gov and each State Legislatures were confronted with societal break down aspects as in massive divorce rates and huge numbers of single parents and a large population of children on Public Assistance programs, so the feds and the States empowered the parenting laws (Child Support & Custody) and they used the one weapon of government which is they used the Courts against the parents - which is equivalent to using a base ball bat to fix a delicate problem, and now the mess up is even worse and growing.
It use to be that the gov was not in the parenting business of Custody and Child Support and visitation, etc, but now it is done because our laws have violated the old authority of religion.
Such things as marriage, parenting, divorce, raising children, were in the domain of Churches and Synagogs and Temples until our gov violated the old Institutions of religion, so now the State Courts are playing God with our society and with families and the Courts are not fit to be playing God.
The intent of Courts and of laws were to be for controlling violent crimes and criminals, just as most Judges are former Prosecutors, and it is a deep mistake to imagine that the Court know what is best for children and for their parents.
Instead what we have is a confused and incompetent mess with the divorce industry and Child Support and Custody laws which has turned parents into criminals and turned parenting into a crime.
I say we need to stop this ignorant process, and I am the one and only candidate for any political office who will get the reforms started.
