Fighting Injustice in Family Court
Family Court has become a highly profitable business. In court rooms across this nation, children are being torn away and isolated from their father or mother as they become pawns in a game designed to keep parent’s fighting, and money flowing. Exposing corruption and injustice is what we strive to do.
Family Court Corruption: Statistics, Bias, and the Urgent Need for Reform
Family court corruption is a topic that can be challenging to quantify due to limited public data and transparency issues. However, some statistics and findings offer insights:
1. Judicial Misconduct and Complaints:
In the U.S., more than 1,000 complaints are filed annually regarding judicial misconduct across various courts, including family court. Yet, only about 1-2% of these complaints result in any form of disciplinary action. An analysis by the Center for Judicial and Executive Ethics found that disciplinary action is often rare, even in cases involving clear abuses of power in family courts.
2. Bias and Decision-Making:
Studies have shown that family court rulings may be influenced by biases, particularly regarding gender, race, and socioeconomic status. A 2020 survey from the National Family Court Watch Project found that mothers felt courts showed bias against them in custody decisions in approximately 35% of cases, while fathers reported perceived biases in around 20%. Judicial overreach is another area of concern, with anecdotal reports indicating that judges sometimes make custody or guardianship decisions despite lacking jurisdiction or sufficient legal grounds.
3. Financial Incentives:
Financial incentives can drive family court decisions, particularly in cases involving child custody and adoption. For instance, states receive federal funding for adoption placements and child support enforcement, leading to accusations that some courts prioritize financial over family interests. A report by the Children’s Rights Council pointed out that such incentives could sometimes motivate decisions that remove children from parents under questionable grounds.
4. Public Perception and Calls for Reform:
Public dissatisfaction with family court practices has led to increased calls for oversight and reform. A 2021 study by Pew Research Center found that over 60% of Americans support greater transparency and accountability in family court decisions, with 45% expressing distrust in the fairness of current practices.
5. Court-Appointed Experts:
In many cases, family courts rely on psychologists, social workers, or evaluators who may influence custody outcomes significantly. However, a review by the American Psychological Association revealed that less than 20% of court-appointed experts undergo regular performance evaluations, which can lead to unqualified individuals making recommendations that strongly influence a judge’s decision.
These statistics underscore the complexity and, at times, the lack of oversight within the family court system, motivating calls for increased transparency and accountability measures.
