What would prevent you from wanting your rights protected 9Nov2019

Published: November 09, 2019

I presented this video Live on Facebook for parents who decide to mislead other parents into thinking that getting sanctioned or blocked from filing is reason not to make the arguments that you have rights and you have the right to expect that the court serves the function of protecting these rights. I don't mind parents informing others that these things happen just as long as they don't mislead them. This particular parent had half assed their attempt at using the rights, made excuses why they didn't have time to learn the arguments, and had not even been able to figure out what had happened in their case, had not participated in most of their hearings in their case, and had already pissed the court off by filing numerous other things before discovering our materials and was already being shut out of the courts and denied everything they were requesting and threatened with sanctions. I will not tolerate those who do not encourage others, who cannot stand their ground regardless of the punishment they threaten, and who discourage others by providing misleading information. We are here for those who understand that this is a constantly evolving effort and movement. I will never hold it against a parent for making an argument that fails, for having weak moments as long as they work on recovering from it, and for making mistakes as long as they continue to work on solutions and ways to apply these arguments.

Why Parents Are Hesitant to File for Family Rights Protection and Why They Must Persist

Parents face a tough choice in family court. They want to shield their kids from harm. But threats from judges and lawyers stop many cold. Attorneys refuse cases. Judges warn against raising constitutional rights. Opposing counsel pushes for sanctions. These fears chill parents from fighting. Yet kids suffer real risks in the system. Stranger danger hides behind court robes. You can't back down now. The stakes hit your family's core.

Section 1: Unacceptable Dangers Exposed to Children by the System

Kids face hidden threats in courtrooms. Judges pull them into private chambers alone. No parents watch. No oversight exists. This setup mirrors dark scandals like priests in the Catholic Church. State laws let guardians ad litem or amicus curiae meet kids solo. No adults nearby. How does that keep children safe?

One court expert even faced abuse claims against a child. Professionals claim safety, but trust breaks easy. Parents lose power to guard their own. When courts ignore your rights, you can't step in. Government picks take kids away unchecked. Nights pass in worry. What happens next door? This danger demands action over fear.

Your role stays key. Fight to restore control. Let no official act unchecked.

Section 2: Understanding and Overcoming Legal Intimidation Tactics

Courts push back hard. Judges hold power tight. They won't hand it over. File motions, and expect heat. Attorneys hear threats and quit. Judges yell about jail. Sanctions loom from foes. This tests your grit.

State your case bold. Argue for changes to old laws. Say extension, tweak, or flip them fits now. Courts lack due process safeguards. Substantive rights crumble. Write this clear in papers. Judges who get it build your record. Bad ones rage. Plan for both.

History shows pushback proves your point. Power clings. You expected easy wins? No. Silver bullets fail. Train for the hits. Tolerate threats like past fighters did.

Expect sanctions or blocks.
Study your state's rules on frivolous claims.
Note federal law shields attorneys more than you.

Prep beats surprise.

Section 3: The "Movement" Mindset: Learning from Historical Rights Struggles

Rights battles scar deep. Voters faced jail. Kids got seized. Civil rights folks sat at counters. Hot coffee splashed laps. They stayed calm. No fists flew. Narratives tried to kill support. Yet they pressed on.

You're in that line. "Best interest" rules stack bad precedent. Like Jim Crow or slavery laws. Case after case cements wrong. Overturn it step by step. Not first try wins. Rosa Parks? Not the starter. Many arrests built change.

Reframe your view. Child support fights feel wrong? Courts boot you from home first. They block direct care. Then guilt you for resisting theft. Reset. You provide fine before. State creates need. Fight the machine, not your duty.

Women jailed for votes. Slaves chained longer without push. Don't quit now.

Section 4: The Role of Diligence and Education in Effective Advocacy

Half efforts flop. Copy motions blind. Skip your facts. Courts call them junk. Frivolous tags stick. Learn your keys. Tweak for your case.

Attorneys scare easy too. They skip study. Sanctions scare them off. Bail mid-fight. Federal rules protect lawyers from silly claims more than pro se folks. Check state twists. You drive if they fold.

Do it right or sit out. Complainers mislead. "It failed me!" they post. Often? Lazy prep. Evolve arguments. We shift from declaratory to pretrial frames. Teach others. Dodge repeats. Courts hate rehashes.

Master "frivolous" tests.
Avoid same pleas twice.
Join groups for full tools.

Half-ass quits hurt all. Full push wins ground.

Section 5: Quantifiable Successes Proving the Strategy Works

Wins stack up. Supervised visits gone. Gag orders lift. Bad temp orders flip to equal shares. One-parent rules fall, like in Sanders cases. Statutes struck unconstitutional.

Leverage shifts fast. You stand tall. Not beg mode. Foes settle. Other parent agrees now. Cases drop from court. Two parents out last three weeks. Third nears. Posture changes talks.

Control returns. No rights use? Child support hits anyway. Authority shrinks to foe's level. Sanctions fly for small slips. Discovery fights? Same pain. Rights build appeal base. Errors clear on record.

Not using them? You lose default. Push gives ground.

Overturn kid-choice visits.
Cut gag costs, dodge broke.
Gain driver seat.

Proof lives in results.

Conclusion: Taking Responsibility for Rights Enforcement

Threats chill but don't stop real change. Courts punish anyway. Discovery skips, pleas struck—same fines. Rights fight builds true base. History nods yes. Every shift needed grit. Threats prove power shakes.

Kids risk alone time with strangers in robes. You hold the shield. Inaction hands control away. Learn deep. Tweak motions. Teach kin. Push past first loss. Appeals wait. Wins grow.
