Family Justice League

Representative Paul Condino is Chair of the Judiciary Committee which currently has Michigan House Bill 4564 at a standstill. Recently we were informed that Michigan House Bill 4564 would have a hearing with NO VOTE in the month of MAY. This is nothing more than the continuation of child abuse in Michigan!

Why NO VOTE and in the month of MAY? This is running down the clock on the current legislative session so that HB4564 will die in his committee. Seems rather undemocratic to not have a vote on such an important bill that affects so many parents and grandparents in the state of Michigan.

Voters, both parents and grandparents, have contacted our organization and they are furious to say the least. Some consider it a slap in their face. Others have stated that this is similar to spitting in the faces of our children.

The abuse of our children and grandchildren in Michigan by the family court system must stop!

ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY BY REP. PAUL CONDINO?

Read some of the statements and arguments made by Representative Paul Condino on his website. When you read this think in the context of shared parenting for children. It would seem by some of his statements that he would be ever so passionate about Michigan House Bill 4564 and would rush it to the floor for a vote.

It seems that choosing to get married and then getting a divorce is punished, however if you are unmarried Rep. Paul Condino believes in the EXACT arguments that we make for shared parenting.

Here are a couple of sentences we pulled from his website:

"Children Deserve Two Loving Parents;"

"Children should not have to bear the legal burden for their parents' decision."

"While it would be ideal to hope that all parents are married to each other, many adults do not marry for many reasons," Condino said. "Children should not have to bear the legal burden for their parents' decision."

--------------------------------------------------------

When a FIT and WILLING parent is stripped away from his/her children because of having a divorce this IS indeed child abuse. Michigan children can no longer bear the pain and abuse which is further magnified by our elected officials playing politics with our children.

Shared Parenting legislation, like Michigan House Bill 4564, is not about fathers as the opposition likes to paint it. It is about our children and grandchildren!! Children in Michigan are stripped away from one of their FIT and WILLING parents every day in Michigan. Children who were loved and guided by this fit and willing parent every day is forced to see this parent only 4-6 days a month.

Perhaps Representative Paul Condino should review the mounds of research that supports shared parenting.

This is not a complete list and is only a fraction of the research that support the benefits of shared parenting to children.

So what is the excuse now after reviewing the material?

EXCUSE TO CONTINUE THE ABUSE #1

ahh yes...judicial discretion. Does a judge in a short hearing really know what is best for you and your children?

Keep in mind that it was the judicial discretion of the U.S. Supreme Court that voted many years ago in favor of slavery!!

Federal Incentives $$$$ Drive Judicial Discretion

EXCUSE TO CONTINUE THE ABUSE #2

..."the best interest factors" used in child custody evaluations is best for determining a child's custody arrangement.

You mean the custody evaluation that is typically performed by someone with a Bachelor's degree in criminal justice?

This (below) Michigan child custody evaluator blows the whistle on the corruption in Michigan Friend of the Court Offices.

Watch this video it will blow you away and make you mad as heck!

IT IS TIME FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO STOP THE ABUSE OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN NOW!

Representative Paul Condino - Who will you support the rich Michigan Family Law Lobby OR Michigan's families, parents and children?

Children have a fundamental right to be loved, guided, educated and nurtured equally by both fit and willing parents! To deny this IS child abuse.

Thank you for your support and most of all YOUR ACTION!

Sincerely,

Angela Pedersen, R.N.
