THE TRUTH ABOUT FAMILY COURT AND ATTORNEYS
Dear
Friend and Fellow Advocate,
Today this statement is entirely untrue as it relates to the family law system and attorneys practicing Family Law. In fact, the real truth is found in another famous quotation:
“A
fool and his money are soon parted”………The
Bible
When I became involved in the Father’s Rights movement in 1990 there was one recurring issue that kept surfacing in almost every conversation I had with hundreds of men. The issue: The value and necessity of family law attorneys! To understand the dubious nature of a family law attorney you must first understand how family law proceedings are very different than other court proceedings.
Family Court conducts itself differently than other forms of civil and criminal law. In family court, everything is based on the subjective decision of a judge or mediator. Such decisions are loosely based on certain guidelines and laws however there is rarely a firm rule of law requiring the judge to make a certain decision. Furthermore, such decisions or rulings rarely resolve the problem since there is often no apparent legal issue being argued.
Most Judges and many
family law experts will tell you that they don’t
have the answers to solving a family law problem. They will be quick to point out that they are not experts
when it comes to children, marriage and family.
They are reliant upon other experts, such as child psychologist, medical
doctors, marriage and family counselors, mediators and other trained
individuals. Contrary to popular
belief family law judges don’t simply sit at the bench and wait for
individuals to plead their case. They
would much prefer that litigants resolve the issues themselves through
mediation, mandatory settlement conferences, arbitration, attorney meetings,
counseling and other conflict resolution alternatives.
It is well known that family law courts are highly dependent on these
services. In fact, in cases
involving custody and visitation issues, mediation is a requirement of law
before the judge can even hear the case. Further,
attorneys are not allowed at these proceedings.
It should also be considered that well over 90% of all family law cases
never make it to trial. They are
settled at a simple hearing, mediation, arbitration, or by agreement between the
parties. And that’s exactly what
the Judges want!
I have been involved in the Father’s Rights movement for nearly
15
years now. I started Father’s
Rights, Inc. in January of 1993 and began offering self-help legal assistance to
men who simply did not have the money to hire an attorney.
Many of these men had hired family law attorneys in the beginning but
either ran out of money or became frustrated with the results and decided to
take control and learn how the system works.
Let me be very clear! A
family law attorney can never be your “knight
in shining armor” that defends your personal honor before the court.
They do little more than file paperwork and negotiate agreements.
However, if the negotiations occur at the courthouse they will charge you
court time of $300.00 to $400.00 per hour.
Therefore, any party to a family law action should never solely rely upon
an attorney to resolve disputed issues. You
can do that yourself! Unless you
are Bill Gates and have lots and lots of money to throw away, learn how the
family law system works and check out your other legal options.
As previously discussed,
family law attorneys are virtually useless in
most family court cases. In fact
they can (and often do) more to hurt your case than help it.
Unless you have significant legal issues such as jurisdiction problems,
complicated community property issues or some other difficult legal issue, avoid
attorneys like the plague. Do not
presume that your case will be anymore difficult than other cases.
Further, don’t presume that you will need an attorney because of angry
threats made by the opposing party or because you have been served with family
law legal papers. Again, check out
other legal options. Family law
issues are easier to resolve than you might believe.
The truth is
unless you take control of your own case and learn how the
system works no attorney or other legal profession can ever help you!
A family law case stays open forever therefore you must commit to
learning the steps you can take to win or, at least, improve your case. Again
take the time to learn the rules of the game before you play.
You
can be sure your Ex has!
Now let me ask you! Why have you come to this site? Are you looking for answers to your family law problems? Are you the Parent, Grandparent, girlfriend, sister or new wife of a man having problems in family court? Are you confused? Lost? Frustrated? Angry? Let me give you the same advice I was given years ago. Your case (or the case of the person for whom you are concerned) will never be resolved until you (they) take the time to learn how the Family Law system works. You must commit to learning the simple steps you can take now to resolve your present legal issues and avoid additional issues in the future. Remember, your failure is her victory!
There are now two ways in which I can help you:
First: While I was in law school I began writing a guide for men that would teach them
how the family law system works. While I was writing the guide I read every book
I could on family law issues. I interviewed State Congressmen, Senators, Judges,
District Attorney's and numerous private attorneys. I reviewed client case files
and spent hundreds of hours on the Internet researching family law related web
sites. Additionally, for the past 12 years I have received over a 150 e-mail's
and/or telephone calls per day from individuals all over the United States who
are seeking information about their particular family law problems. I've heard
it all!
After considerable research I wrote a series of nine booklets on every major
family law issue. It's called the Fathers Rights Survival Guide. The guide
contains sections on Divorce, Child and Spousal Support, Child Custody and
Visitation, District Attorney support problems, Contempt of Court, Restraining
Orders, Move-away Issues and The Truth about Family Law and Attorneys. This
information was written so that a ten-year old boy could understand its content.
It is filled with very revealing information that is critically important to any
man facing family law problems. Further, it is all you will need! You
won't need to spend time at law libraries or bookstores. You won't need to spend
countless hours on the Internet reviewing information that is often confusing
and difficult to understand. I have done this work for you! Also, the
information in the guide is good in all 50 States!
Here is my commitment to you: If you will commit to learning the simple steps
you can take to either avoid or resolve Family Law problems and purchase the
Fathers Rights Survival Guide (or purchase one of the The Advocate Plans) I will make
a personal commitment to help you! If you purchase and read the Fathers Rights
Survival Guide I will make myself available to answer any questions you may
have. You can contact me at: law4dad@subictel.com
and I will respond. Where can you get this kind of help for $60.00?
And you get
Free Updates for Life! Further, the guide is fully
upgradeable to any Advocate Plan for simply the difference in price.

Second: In the Free reports I shared with you
my own personal failure in Family court 15 years ago. I shared with you that it
wasn’t until I met another man, a father’s right advocate and attorney that was
willing to help me that I overcame a very difficult legal case. As I look back,
the single greatest factor that changed my case was that I found someone to
teach me and guide me. Someone I could contact anytime to discuss my case, my
questions, fears, feelings. Someone that would be direct and honest with me.
Someone that would tell me the truth about every aspect of my case! A
Personal Advocate.
The Advocate Plan-Basic Provides you with a thorough and state specific consultation on all of your legal issues including child support calculation. Once completed we will tell you exactly where you stand on each and every issue, answer all of your questions and give you your specific legal options. It also allows you to have unlimited e-mail correspondence with me after the consultation. The Father Rights Survival Guide is included. The Advocate Plan Basic is fully up-gradable should you decide to do so later. (You only pay the difference in price)
The Advocate Plan-Lifetime-
This is truly the ultimate legal service plan. It doesn't get any better than
this! This plan provides everything contained in the basic plan and unlimited

Further, the Advocate Lifetime has an emergency contact feature called ERR-911
(Emergency Rescue Response) whereby you can contact us and receive a call the
same day! Remember, family law cases remain open until there are no issues to
resolve. In other words there will likely be other legal issues that arise in
the future. This may not be the last time you will face a court action related
to your case. Therefore, wouldn’t it be great to be able to consult with me
anytime for the life of your case? It could be that your ex will try and raise
child support in the future, or perhaps you will want to try and get custody of
your children. What ever the issues you will always have someone to speak with
directly who will guide you each step of the way…..for
life!

news or bad, YOU WILL LEARN THE TRUTH! The truth about your Ex, your
children, your attorney, the Judge, the mediator, custody evaluator, opposing

may difficult for you to fully understand at this moment just how significant
