The Constitutional Collapse of the Texas Family Code
Using the Texas Family Code as an example, Ron B. Palmer proves beyond any doubt that family law is facially unconstitutional and that every child custody order and every child support order issued in suits between fit parents are absolute nullities—and that the judges in Texas and many other states are unquestionably acting without any judicial subject matter jurisdiction.
Loss of Judicial Authority
The Texas law in this area is very well-established. The Texas Supreme Court merely refuses to apply that law to one class of individual—the class that the judges themselves get paid to regulate. When judges regulate or administer the civil law, they lose judicial authority. Judicial contempt powers are nullified.
Orders Are Void Nullities
Texas judges, if they are competent, know without any question that your custody orders and support orders are absolutely null and void. When they exercise contempt powers to enforce void orders, they commit a crime. Civil rights violations of this type are crimes under Texas law and under federal law.
Federal Felony & No Immunity
More importantly, when a judge compels you to labor under threat of contempt for violating void orders, the judge acts objectively unreasonably and commits a federal felony for which there is NO immunity.
Downstream Felony Liability for Attorneys & Managing Partners
Anyone who profits from that felony with reckless disregard of the fact that they benefit from the felony is also committing a felony. It is objectively unreasonable for any attorney to believe that your rights don't exist in child custody suits or that a state-asserted duty can nullify federal rights. Attorneys who profit from making objectively unreasonable child support arguments are meeting the elements of a felony. Managing partners who fail to adequately supervise and benefit from shared profits checks are meeting the elements of a felony.
Involuntary Servitude Feedback Loop
Immediate Risk of Firm-Ending Financial Liability
By serving this document, you put the rich and powerful on notice that they are at immediate risk of firm-ending financial liability under mandatory damages relief, and treble damages under RICO going back for the last ten years, and of imprisonment in a federal prison for up to 20 years for simply cashing a shared profits check after receiving this notice.

Substantive Proof Engine: 16 Indisputable Proofs
Each proof dismantles the jurisdictional pretext and statutory mechanisms used to compel involuntary labor and strip fit parents of fundamental constitutional guarantees.
Standing Defects Deprive Judges of Judicial Subject Matter Jurisdiction
Standing is an absolute constitutional prerequisite to the exercise of judicial power. Without standing, any order rendered is a complete nullity void ab initio.

Constitutional rights are personal guarantees held by each individual citizen. They cannot be merged, subordinated, or forfeited upon the dissolution of a civil marriage contract.
Best Interests of the Child Impose Unjust & Illegitimate Penalties
Applying an unguided "best interest" standard against fit parents substitutes judicial whim for constitutional due process, imposing severe penalties on children and parents alike.
Best Interest Nullifies Rights & Constitutional Guarantees Upon Filing
The mere filing of a SAPCR suit cannot lawfully suspend or strip a fit parent of substantive Fourteenth Amendment rights prior to any adjudication of unfitness.
Custody Orders Impose Prior Restraints on Protected Liberties
Injunctions and decrees dictating speech, association, religious worship, and family privacy operate as presumptive, unconstitutional prior restraints under First Amendment jurisprudence.

Title IV-D Pays States for Predetermined Outcomes Compelling Labor Through Advisory Orders
Federal Title IV-D funds create an unconstitutional commercial incentive structure rewarding state judicial systems for maximizing support orders through forced labor.
"Income-Based" Support Ties Child Care to Forced Parental Labor, Legal Penalties Imposed Without Trial via Contempt
Tying personal labor to incarceration threats under void judicial authority fulfills the precise elements of unlawful debt peonage under federal criminal statutes.
Being Intentionally Underemployed Subjects the Disfavored Parent to Legal Punishments to Compel Additional Labor
Holding parents to be "intentionally under-employed" to impute fictional income and threaten imprisonment is a direct mechanism of state-enforced compulsory labor.

Weaponizing unauthorized practice of law complaints against parents studying and asserting their constitutional rights serves only to suppress discovery of judicial ultra vires.

Law Firm Managing Partners: Permitting Unreasonable Claims Is Failure to Supervise
Managing partners sharing in the profits of associate actions cannot claim ignorance. Failure to supervise establishes direct enterprise liability.
State Supreme Court Justices Violate Oaths to Protect the Judiciary
Judicial officers who shield unlawful practices rather than enforce the Federal Supremacy Clause violate their mandatory constitutional oaths of office.
State Judges Irreparably Injure Every Child of Divorce for State Profit
The commodification of parent-child relationships damages children under the guise of welfare, destroying the fundamental bond protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Access to Federal Courts via Forced Labor & RICO Treble Damages
These proofs with fully cited explanations for how they apply and for how state supreme court judges are lying to protect the criminal conspiracy are far beyond what anyone needs to get this before a federal judge—and the forced labor statutes guarantee access to a federal court.
You don't have to sue any judges or even any state actors. You can sue your ex, or their attorney, or the GAL, or the supervised visitation center, or your own attorney for failing to protect your rights. There is NO immunity for these people under forced labor and there is NO state actor requirement. Judicial immunity can NOT be used to prevent you from proving that the family code is unconstitutional, that your orders are void, and that you have been converted into an indentured servant to the benefit of everyone who profits from this organized crime venture.
The forced labor statutes clearly grant organized crime witness protection status which invokes RICO and its treble damages relief. The statute of limitations is ten years and you get fully paid before anyone else gets a penny.
If a massive law firm has only one attorney who is guilty of these crimes, then every partner in that firm is potentially liable for damages and criminal charges. If a massive consulting company has one tiny little department generating revenues from Title IV-D consulting, then every partner in that firm is potentially liable for damages and criminal charges.
Ask yourself: if you were a rich partner who had nothing whatsoever to do with family law and you were informed by this document's proofs that you could be liable simply for cashing your shared profits check, what would you do? I would demand an immediate full partner vote to divest the partnership of all liability-producing activities. I would fire them all, each and every one. But that's just me. I don't particularly like being caged.
All that is required is that this document be served on them. If one partner is noticed, they are all noticed. Failure to act results in establishing reckless disregard. When one parent proves in federal court that state judges can NOT nullify federal rights upon the mere filing of a custody suit or deny rights under a state duty claim, proving your entitlement to relief becomes little more than paint by numbers.
Somewhere out there is a large, capable law firm with NO family law connections or practice—maybe one made up largely of former federal prosecutors—and they will quickly realize just how rich they can become not only from this suit alone, but from having most of their competition disbarred and placed behind bars for the next 20 years.
