Biased Family Court System Hurts Mothers Run Date: 09/05/01 By Garland Waller
WEnews contributor Behind closed doors of the family court system, thousands of women each year lose child custody to violent men who beat and abuse mothers and children. The writer says family courts are not family-friendly and betray the best interests of the child. Editor's Note: The following is a commentary. The opinions expressed are those of the author and not necessarily the views of Women's Enews or NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund. (WOMENSENEWS)Studies show that in approximately 70 percent of challenged cases, battering parents have been able to convince authorities during custody battles that their victim is unfit or undeserving of sole custody, according to a recent report published by the American Judges Foundation. That statement would have once shocked me, but no more. Nor am I surprised when I read that a family court judge has awarded custody of a 3-year-old girl to the father who has violently beaten her mother. I do not even lift an eyebrow when a 2-year-old boy, who comes home from unsupervised visitation with his dad, has a diaper filled with his own rectal blood and that same child is later turned over to his father on a full-time basis. And when a mother is thrown into jail, denied the right to ever see her children again, because she brought up the issue of child abuse in a family court, I'm sickened, but not shocked. These injustices are commonplace today in the closed-door family court system. These courts often claim to operate in a manner consistent with the "best interests of the child." In practice this often means that a judge, often a male judge, biased and imperious, defines that phrase. These judges decide, time and time again, when a woman raises the allegation of sexual abuse in a custody dispute, that it is she who will lose her children forever.

Alice Macdougall, the lawyer, at work in the city with law firm Freehills. Photo: Craig Abraham There are pitfalls and prejudices for parents in part-time jobs, reports Julie Szego. Is Alice Macdougall the elusive superwoman who stalks the public imagination? She has all the trappings: a successful legal career, office with city views, two kids in primary school, a hectic yet productive three-day working week. But her high-wire work and life balancing act comes after years of struggling to bend an inflexible workplace. Since returning to law firm Freehills after the birth of her second child, Jim, six years ago, Ms Macdougall's career path was a series of stops and starts. At first she tried working full-time, but she needed to be home by 7pm to relieve the nanny. Husband Richard works full-time in financial services. "But the workflow just slowed right down," Ms Macdougall said. "There appeared to be reluctance on the part of some partners (to provide work) because I said I needed to leave at a particular time. And then there wasn't enough time on the weekend to do all the chores and spend time with the kids.

Positively In-Laws
by Suzanne Jordan Brown
She walked down the aisle as my baby. She returned as a married woman. As the usher escorted me after the wedding ceremony, the realization hit me: I had turned into a mother-in-law! Jokes and stories would have you believe that all parents-in-law are dreadful creatures. Although that’s not the case, a poor relationship with a child’s spouse can separate that child from the whole family. I decided, then and there, to be the best mother-in-law in the world — or as close as I could become. So I checked with people who knew: people who have warm and loving relationships with their parents-in-law. How do these folks do it? I asked lots of people and received many answers. One thing that continually came up: “Good in-laws don’t cramp your style. They give lots of room.” Room to grow “I’m not the same person I was when I married,” Susan told me. “I’ve spent years growing and changing into the person I am today. My in-laws didn’t hold my mistakes against me. They gave me time to grow up.”

Mother's Rights
A paternity case in the State of Texas is a lawsuit to determine the natural and legal father of a minor child and to confer the rights and duties of a parent. The Mother in a paternity action has the right to raise and litigate the minor child's rights on the child's behalf.
The mother has the right to bring a paternity action on behalf of the minor child against an alleged father to determine whether he is the biological and legal father of the minor child. The mother is designated under the laws of the State of Texas the natural custodian of the minor child. This means that the mother has the initial legal right to exercise sole parental responsibility over the minor child until a legal father has been determined by a court of law. Once a paternity action is filed and a legal father is determined by a court of law the mother will most likely have to share the parental responsibility concerning the minor child with the father. If the mother does not wish to share these rights with the legal father then she should consider whether she should file a paternity action.
The mother has the right to request, on the minor child's behalf, that the father pay child support, cover the minor child with medical and health insurance, pay a portion of the non-covered medical expenses of the minor child, pay a portion of the mother's medical expenses related to the birth of the minor child, and pay a portion of the mother's attorney's fees and litigation expenses.

Introduction: Many so-called "voluntary relinquishments" of infants for adoption were anything but voluntary. Since the start of the adoption industry after WWII, the demand for babies has prompted the use of unethical, inhumane and illegal means to obtain infants from vulnerable (young, unwed and/or poor) natural mothers who wanted to keep and raise them, violating their basic human rights Many families are now reuniting after being separated by forced adoption-separation. After reunion, loving family (parent and adult offspring) relationships are often re-established, as a natural family heals from the damage done to them.

Laura Lewis , Life Files POSTED: 6:11 am PDT May 5, 2005 With Mother's Day approaching, I'm thinking about my mother more than ever. The greeting card companies would be so proud that I already purchased a card that suits her taste and tells her I love her. But this year is a little different than previous Mother's Days. Since my October wedding, I have had more than one mother to appreciate and shower with attention. My mother, the one who is in my head at all times influencing my decisions from clothes to career, will be quick to remind me that I only have one mother, but my new mother-in-law has a special place in my life. Special: Mother's Day section It took time and patience to find a special place in hers, however.

At last, a judge in a child custody battle has dared to acknowledge the simple truth.
By Guardian Newspapers, 4/19/2002 This week the court of appeal made a genuinely radical judgment. A house husband's attempt to win custody of his children was rejected. And in doing so Lord Justice Mathew Thorpe said - and this is the radical bit - that the application seemed "to ignore the realities involving the different roles and functions of men and women".
That this is a startling thing to say is the result of years of back-and-forth argument between powerful factions. For too long we have been trying to obscure differences, to say we are all the same, and therefore as parents men and women are equal. For the past 15 years, the family law courts in this country have been moving towards a concept of "equal parenting". Now, in one ruling, the appeal court has shifted the ground again.
And in so doing, the court has done something which will genuinely advance the cause of children, in contrast to the damage caused by the years of political correctness. For the move towards more access to fathers was not radical - it was actually the end of a long and chauvinistic road.
