WASHINGTON – Divorce lawyers acknowledge persons often make allegations of abuse in order to gain a legal edge. A report released today shows such claims are widespread, harmful to the children involved in such cases, devastating to persons falsely accused, and costly to the American taxpayer. The report, “False Allegations of Domestic Violence Cost Taxpayers $20 Billion a Year,” compiles government statistics and research studies to reach three conclusions:
Children are often harmed by false claims. Attorney Lisa Scott of Bellvue, Wash. notes, “The ones hurt most of all are the children kept away from a loving parent.” The report highlights the recent case of Emily Hindle whose mother falsely accused the father of domestic violence in order to abduct the child. The mother later discontinued the child’s medical treatment, causing the child to lose her sight in one eye. “False allegations of abuse are currently the greatest violation of due process in our legal system,” reveals family attorney Gregory Hession of Springfield, Mass. “In my practice, I’ve found the majority of the allegations used to obtain restraining orders are false or greatly exaggerated.” Victims of false allegations are beginning to fight back. Former state Rep. Eric Major won a $500,000 award against the city of Birmingham, Ala., stemming from his 2004 arrest and subsequent acquittal on charges that he attacked his ex-fiancee. False allegations often arise from programs funded by the Violence Against Women Act. RADAR recently launched a Fix VAWA Now! campaign to increase awareness of the need to reform ineffective and harmful domestic violence laws.

Not only $20 billion wasted; not only children deprived and put in jeopardy; but men's lives are ruined and sometimes taken. The Princess of Lies, laughs.
I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it. But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up. I am outnumbered. But... YOU don't just make a difference, you make THE difference.  | ||||

Any restraining order can be forthcoming without any grounds for its reason. Nothing is checked, even the person that has that order taken out on them cannot defend it.. Letterman would be a prime example of the ludicrous availability of obtaining an order on the delusions of any individual.. | ||||

I attempted to get a restraining order against my ex,as she was walking in my house anytime she felt like it---my lawyer told me that it would look bad for me in court-i fired his loser ass-never could get an order against her,even with her violent behaviour and police reports.
