Sign the petition –Project Innocence–families

https://www.change.org/p/support-project-innocent-families

Read on, the petition says a whole lot about the current status of our nation’s Probate and Family courts:

It took a Nation speaking up, investigating and committing to save kids to reveal decades of sexual abuse imposed on children by the powerful members of the Catholic Church.

it will take a greater effort to save children and families being decimated by American Family Courts, under the color of law.

CAN you imagine losing time with your children, your parents or family members for a day, an hour, a month, a year or ten years? PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION.

CAN you imagine losing (through no fault of your own) a lifetime of your retirement savings, your house investment, your cash, your cars and your children’s college savings accounts, simply because your spouse filed for divorce and hired a lawyer willing to decimate you and your children? PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION.

CAN you imagine your elderly parents, grandparents and aunts or uncles losing their life’s fortunes, simply because a crooked trustee in probate court is allowed to legally steal their money ? PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION.

Millions of good parents and innocent children don’t have to imagine this, it is happening to them in family courts across the globe, especially in California, and has been for decades.

Facts:

55% of marriages in California end in divorce.
75% of the people engaged in divorces can not afford to hire a lawyer, so are forced to represent themselves, but also forced to know the law as if they had gone to law school and worked as a lawyer for 20 years.
100% of people who are forced to go through a divorce without a lawyer, when the other spouse has a lawyer, suffers permanent loss of their share of property, income and custody.
95% of divorce cases show evidence of hidden or concealed assets, which a spouse without a lawyer is never able to find.
80% of divorce cases involving children, litigated in court, show flase claims of parental alienation and child abuse.
Recent trends in family law cases show that judges are using violations of due process and abuse of power to harm citizens in divorce, probate and custody cases , where only one side has a lawyer.
Introduction of custody experts, experienced lawyers , forensic CPAs and vocational examiners make divorce proceedings last ten times times longer and add 500% or more to the final divorce costs.
Financial Abuse against the elderly is greatest in the family probate courts ..
California’s State Bar investigates only 1% of the complaints filed against licensed attorneys.
California’s Judicial Performance investigates only 1% of complaints filed against judges, and less than that against family law judges.
California’s Board of Accountancy takes 888 days to investigate crooked CPAs and investigates fewer than 1% of the CPAs performing forensic or auditing done in divorce or probate cases.

True stories:

An investigation of judges in San Diego, California exposed systemic court misconduct that resulted in several judges being brought up on criminal charges.

In Pennsylvania, Kids for Cash Judge was convicted of criminal misconduct and sent to 28 years in jail, only after kids died and the public got outraged.

A Michigan Judge jailed children for refusing to see their father. The judge was disciplined and 4000 of her orders voided out.

CBS’s 60 mins. exposed what family law litigants have known for decades; that crooked lawyers will use our courts to launder money and commit fraud, for profit, even in divorce and probate cases.

California’s Judge Oversight Agency has admitted to not addressing complaints against judges for decades, leaving corrupt judges in family courts to misuse the bench and take children and property under the color of the law.

California’s State Auditor’s June 2015 Report recommended blowing up the Bar due to unfixable corruption and dysfunction.

Are American Family Courts the Next Judicial Scandal in America??

Parents and Grandparents have had enough and are joining forces to stop the legal harassment and financial destruction of American Families.

Too many Family Court Judges appear willing to use kids and property to give kickbacks to dirty lawyers and fund an endless game of corruption. See Divorce Corp, a documentary, born from frustration caused by Sacramento Family Courts.

Investigative reporters have been focusing on Santa Clara County, in California, where Judge Mary Ann Grilli has presided over divorce and probate matters for three decades, and where hundreds of cases reveal Grilli has violated the law , shown bias toward self-represented parties and engaged in corruption and kickbacks to an ” in ” crowd of family lawyers , with whom she has a ” close ” relationship .

Also in Santa Clara County ” custody expert” , Valerie Houghton, was recently indicted on over 50 counts of fraud, embezzlement and theft, by Santa Clara County’s District Attorney.

Garret Dailey (Elkins lawyer), one of the highest paid family law appeals lawyers in California, who once defended the self represented underdog in California family law, has sold out ethics he pretended to have during the Elkins case. Dailey recently tried to block an indigent mother, on Medicare, from appealing a fee order that required her to pay her wealthy husband, Oliver Garbe, step son of Sean Connery, after Garbe had harassed the mother in a ten year divorce and stipped her of all custody and property, following a 10 year marriage.

Court Watchers see Mary Ann Grilli consistently act with bias toward poor and uneducated parents, where children are stripped from stay at home mothers and fathers and given to which ever spouse has a lawyer “in” Grilli’s club of cronies.

It is time to stop this abuse in our family courts. Justice in family court should not be on a pay to play basis. Kids can not go to the highest bidder , or best paid lawyer in a divorce. Children lose and parents lose when judges allow that.

Want to tell your story in a documentary or book? Have time to court watch or write letters and emails to expose what is really going on in family court? Connect with a group in California, or other states, and help us put a stop to the outrageous costs family courts impose on they American Family, to benefit only greedy lawyers. We can help bring attention to a case, a bad judge, a corrupt lawyer or scam in your county, email :CalJohnQPublic@gmail.com
