Children are our most precious resource. They determine what our nation will be like over the next generation. Today, many children reside in single-parent or blended homes. This is more the norm than the unusual case. At any given time, a large proportion of these homes is undergoing a child custody suit in family court. This process is time-consuming, intrusive, and expensive for both sides. A cottage industry has arisen around the family court system, providing services to support child custody cases. Psychologists, attorneys, custody evaluators, Guardian ad Litems, Special Masters, and Wisepersons are just a few of the businesses that depend on child custody cases for survival and growth. Judges are supposed to remain independent of the cottage industry around them, but the ties between persons in this system are largely unregulated. The Center for Family Justice has been created to:

1. support children and parents caught in this system,
2. call for state- and federal-level reform to insure that justice is served with the best interests of families in mind,
3. expose illegal and harmful practices in the family court system, and
4. inform the general public about the process.

The Center for Family Justice is a network of volunteers and families working together to insure that our justice system created to protect our rights and freedoms - does not usurp them for the sake of the cottage industries associated with family court. Please help us to preserve the right to parent in our country.
