Serve the needs of children in how you resolve family conflict.
It is taking a crisis in Georgia for many to get the difference between the good fathers (like those we are working with, the ones getting the raw deal in family court) and those who are being enabled as they behave badly.
But let’s put that mess aside, and help Georgia get “off the ice” now, and focused on moving forward!
This is what matters, this report courtesy of one of our legislators who is helping the public see the good in a crisis:
“A father walked 6 miles in the snow to his daughter’s school so she would not spend her first night away from home alone.” #GoodFathersMatter

True Georgia story: a father walked 6 miles in the storm to join his daughter stranded at her school. She did not have to spend her first night away from home…alone without him.
From My Advocate Center:
To ALL the many fathers we know here in Georgia and around the country who are being put in a position to NOT be able to give to your children this way:
We recognize what is happening, and are as committed to you and to this problem as we are to others.
Stay strong and keep giving and doing what you know is right for your children, even when you are being held back. #NotGivingUp
Join Parents & supporters of the civil rights that are being denied in Family Court. Continue this movement.
“What are YOU doing for others?” This was the premise behind founding My Advocate Center, and asking more parents, professionals, policymakers & civic leaders to get involved.
Join the group of parents and concerned citizens who are voicing the urgent need for Family Court Reform.
Children are missing good parents. Parents are being denied the right to care for, nurture and protect their children.
This is not necessary to allow this to happen – not according to our laws, our constitution, and based on the facts and evidence of these cases.
Help these families recover while we work to prevent more of the same.
We can’t think of a better way to honor the memory of the ultimate “Game Changer” in the history of Civil Rights.
Thank you for your support, and for using your voice in a non-violent way.

You may have learned over this past year that just because police and DFCS substantiate claims of child abuse, that does not mean the judge and custody experts will use this evidence to protect a child.
It does not even mean that the child’s THERAPIST will take the evidence seriously in order to protect the child…how is that even possible? This therapist was chosen by the mother, but only because she had a credible background and substantial role in advocacy for children. However, when money becomes an issue…it appears evidence and the medical needs of a child do not carry much weight.
This therapist would not listen to police, the child, other real doctors and is not trained to treat dissociative disorder. This disorder can manifest for victims of severe and prolonged abuse.
This medical disorder and the signs of trauma are glaring in a number of cases in Georgia that are being handled much like this one. Should our healthcare community and educators be made aware, so they can get involved to help stop this? We think so.
Dr Danielle Levy decided that overwhelming evidence of abuse & trauma should be ignored. $$$
My Advocate Center has been researching cases across counties and collecting data, and unfortunately the pattern is the same. If certain attorneys and select custody experts get together, they can put profit over protection.
By hosting the world premiere of the Divorce Corp. film narrated by Dr. Drew, Atlanta was able to bring together parents and professionals to expose the truth and discuss reform.
Continue reading and watching our news coverage as there is much more to report that will help drive change, should you choose to understand and then act on it.
This is the second in a series of interviews on this case, but the start of a national movement with My Advocate Center to help fathers understand what mothers like this one are going through. We are all on the same team around protecting children who are being harmed by unethical court practices, foul play, and the “Pay to Play” system.
Guilty parties will pay large amounts of money to have evidence suppressed, and to retain access to their victims. It is a “Pay to Play” system that allows violent or abusive parties to use children as pawns and to use the process to hide crimes and punish parents seeking protection from the court.
This “Pay to Play” concept also works in reverse, where certain attorneys counsel clients to lie to police – wasting our law enforcement resources – and use false allegations to gain advantage or punish the other party. Either way, children are harmed, as is our State. The case revealed in our local coverage fits the Pay to Play concept, and foul play is involved, but it is not a false allegations case as the father’s attorney is asserting. Look at the facts of the case, the record, and what the professionals were paid to keep the available evidence and testimony – including from police – OFF the record.
There is more to follow, including the tactics of working to deny a litigant the opportunity and right to appeal.
Now is the time to get involved, and save these children and the good parents counting on our Courts and laws for protection.
Please follow updates about Family Court Reform and ask your legislators to help see this through.
Twitter: Follow @MyAdvocateCentr using #FamilyCourtReform #ImproveFamilyLaw #NeedsofChildren #MyAdvocateCenter — and help stop these #shenanigans.
When: July 8th, Monday after the holiday weekend. During the lunch hour, 11am to 1pm.
Where: Fulton County Courthouse
What: #RALLY4Kids
Who: Concerned parents & those who support families and children, including church members, neighbors and co-workers.
Why are hundreds of people emailing and calling for help?
Because it seems that certain judges are not allowing good parents to protect and care for their children.
Is it just because of judicial bias against a certain gender or against the color of a parent’s skin? Or is there some other influence we cannot see or anticipate?
This message is not just coming from hundreds of people in a small area of Atlanta. There are tens of thousands nationally saying the same thing. But next week we are focusing on two judges, in one courthouse. #FultonCounty #Georgia
The messages you can help us share here on Facebook, on Twitter, and over the phone or in email:
Serve the #NeedsofChildren
#StopChildAbuse
#ImproveFamilyLaw by bringing attention to #FultonFamilyCourt and the actions of certain judges on certain cases.
Help us ask, “Why are you suppressing evidence of child abuse?”
“Why are you locking out good parents when their children need them most??”
“Why would you take a child from a great parent, take away that parent’s rights and steal their money, just to reward someone who is paying to suppress evidence of wrongdoing?”
“Why would you put a child into the hands of someone believed by several professionals, including law enforcement, to be abusing a child?” And, “Is it OK to allow expert witnesses to be intimidated and prevented from supporting a child they believe to be suffering from abuse?”
Is this how the legal process and our laws are supposed to work?
What are we missing here? We would really like to know what “best interests of the child” means in YOUR reality, because things aren’t adding up – not in a way that is HEALTHY for our children.
We would appreciate as concerned citizens, tax-payers, parents and neighbors being able to see if there is something we just don’t know about why our Courts are enabling misconduct and rewarding foul play. Is there a good/legal reason for allowing children to get hurt, and to repeatedly be hurt? If we are wrong on drawing conclusions in all of our CASE STUDIES across all of these cases, across all of these court rooms, then we would love for you to show us why these patterns of conduct make sense to you.
Please, discuss this with us and help us understand? We know it is not because we don’t have access to talented, bright, law-abiding attorneys and psychologists, or access to good judges. Correct?
Our community is filled not only with parents, friends, family, church members and neighbors; it is filled with educators, doctors/nurses/therapists, law enforcement officers and business people. They all want answers and are tired of hearing the same terrible stories.
Many from all over our society are asking us to explain, because it just DOES NOT MAKE SENSE why you would NOT FOLLOW LAWS that are designed to PROTECT CHILDREN AND PARENTS.
Does this make sense to anyone you know?? Follow this event and talk to us: On Facebook & On Twitter
Why is My Advocate Center promoting this event and these messages?
Simply because we need to, as so many children are being hurt.
Contact Us to learn more, join the rally or just see how you can help.
What’s next? Parents, professionals and even policy makers are asking for intervention. They are asking what THEY can do to stop the misconduct leading to injury of children. So next we will be revealing case studies and answering questions with our panel of experts and officials in a larger Town Hall setting. Date/Location TBD.
For now, please join these caring families, neighbors and church friends next Monday, July 8th at lunch time.
Use your time and your voice to ask these Fulton County Judges and attorneys to change what they are doing to our children and their parents.
