    Judge steps down to help fathers



    Filed under: General, Law & Courts — julie @ 6:50 pm

    http://menz.org.nz/2009/judge-steps-down-to-help-fathers/#more-3595

    Leah Ward Sears became the first woman and youngest person appointed to Georgia’s highest court in 1992.

    But she stepped down this week as Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court after her brother’s suicide.

    She found amongst his personal effects a questionnaire he had completed in 2005 for a church class.

    The very first question was a fill-in-the-blank that went like this: “At the end of my life, I’d love to be able to look back and know I’d done something about …..”

    “Fathers,” Tommy wrote.
    When asked to identify something that angered him that could be changed, Tommy wrote, “Re-establishment of equity and balance and sanity within the American family.”

    She says her brother was born to be a father and that he grew into a good and loving one. She says he was a graduate of the Naval Academy and a Stanford-educated lawyer and that he married and fathered a little girl and boy who were the centre of his life.

    She also states;
    As a judge I have long held a front row seat to the wreckage left behind by our culture of disposable marriage and casual divorce that my brother so despised.

    No-fault divorce was a response to a very real problem. The social and legal landscape that preceded it largely prevented casual divorce, but it often trapped people in abusive marriages. It also turned divorces into even uglier affairs than they are today, forcing people to expose in court damaging information about their children’s other parent. That system was intolerable, and we should never go back to that.

    But no-fault divorce’s broad acceptance as an unquestioned social good helped usher in an era that fundamentally altered the seriousness with which marriage is viewed. It effectively ended marriage as a legal contract since either party can terminate it, with or without cause. This leaves many people struggling to remake their lives after painful divorces that they do not want. It also left many parents cut off from, or sidelined in, the lives of the children they love.

    If only more Judges will speak openly about the problems. We need to find solutions. We need to help OUR fathers.

    The loss of my brother has changed my life, as these losses so often do to people. This summer, after 26 years, I’m hanging up my robe as a judge to return to private practice.

    I will spend some of my time teaching a course in family law at the University of Georgia Law School. And I have accepted a fellowship at the Institute of American Values in New York — a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that contributes intellectually to strengthening families and civil society in the United States and the world.

    At my request, the fellowship is named after my brother. As the William Thomas Sears Distinguished Fellow in Family Law, perhaps now I can truly do “something about fathers” — a mission I’m on for Tommy and a critical calling for all of us.
    CNN.com




    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.

    Ok but that won't happen so long as you stick to this idea:

    We have to go back to that, there is no way to make no-fault BETTER or more equitable as it is a violation of the marriage vows in the first place. It is flawed at it's core and cannot be fixed.

    As far as abusive goes, I think most of us are numb to that line of BS by now. Knowing that the abuse goes both ways but only counts in one way...it is hard for us to accept it at face value knowing the face value is a fraud of statistics.

    Indeed.

    Destroy the concept of forced child alimony as it is just encourages more divorce and suffering for fathers. Indeed, after divorce mothers are encouraged to be hateful towards fathers since they get the money no matter how they behave.

    Indeed. Shut down the family slaughterhouses!

    This is not the first judge to see the reality, but I kinda feel less angry with judges (apart from a few truly wank ones, paradoxically, often NOT female!)..

    I feel more angry about the scumfuck lawyers, social wankers, and other agenda driven gravy train feeders who make every effort to introduce adverserialism and anti-father agendas and presumptions into the mix..

    Judges, are expected to make a fair judgement from what is presented in front of them, which is usually a load of hysterical exagerated shite and bare-faced lies from the mother and her agents of satan, and some whimpering denials and pathetic pandering to the bloody system from the father, who is constantly told "don't upset the mother, don't upset her lawyers, don't upset the apple cart, you will get there in the end.."

    Which is, frankly utter shite!!

    It would be a brave judge to see through the shit and take the correct option..

    and even then, there is no gaurantee that the orders would be adhered to anyway..

    Judges are promoted lawyers.

    In other words, judges are successful lawyers so how can you hate lawyers but not feel the same hatred towards judges?

    Well said.

    The (former) judge has good intentions, but female resolve is usually bound by emotion. What happens in a few years when this event wears off?

    Stolen generation Pt.1.
    http://soundcloud.com/christian-j/stolen-generation-part-one

    A professional analysis of the Family Court’s ‘Bible’ that justifies the ‘ least detrimental alternatives’ to the traditional family. “We have a generation of fathers who are shell-shocked, heartbroken”. It was Adolph Hitler who first said that people will take any reduction to their freedom if you tell them it is in the best interests of the children. Could we not have a non-detrimental alternative, Amfortas asks.

    Stolen Generation Pt.2.
    http://soundcloud.com/christian-j/stolen-generation-part-2

    The Family Court brings about the detrimental conditions that lead to a delinquent culture of fatherlessness in children. The ‘most deserving parent’ is chosen on genitalia. Professionals make judgements that cause parental alienation syndrome. A juggernaut is driven over Magna Carta. An equal society is replaced by a superior class of people.

    I have some sympathy for a Judge who loses a brother to suicide. But she does not 'get it' about the heartbreak of fathers.

    Her carping on about a prior system which was 'intolerable' and exposed 'damaging evidence about the children's other parent' shows that she just does not see that little has changed but the numbers. They are far vaster now.

    She and her fellow Judges do NOT 'weigh the evidence put before them' as in the FC there is no evidence as there is no presumption of 'Fault'. It is the Procedure that counts. And assumptions based on the 'Guidlines' from their 'Bible'. The Bible created by Marxists and lunatics.

    At least she acknowledges that no-fault divorce’s broad acceptance as an unquestioned social good helped usher in an era that fundamentally altered the seriousness with which marriage is viewed. It effectively ended marriage as a legal contract since either party can terminate it, with or without cause. This leaves many people struggling to remake their lives after painful divorces that they do not want. It also left many parents cut off from, or sidelined in, the lives of the children they love.

    But she knew this before, shirley?

    Pain?

    Call it a flesh wound!

    I pretty sure she'd bust hell wide open if she lost her house, her job and her children!
    Maybe then, I might feel sorry for her!

    Anyone that is determined to assist and halt the devastation that feminists have wrought is a bonus..
    It must be humiliating to those on this board that someone is actually trying to make an effort instead of just sitting on your hands and shaking your head at the injustice of it all..

    We need more doers not critics..

    Quite simple really.

    Judges are supposed to be trained to take the "non adverserial" view, lawyers do precisely the opposite..

    Also, lawyers (barristers) take a massive pay cut by becoming judges..

    LOL, as if they can just leave the adverserial mindset behind. Once a lawyer, always a lawyer.

    Lawyers have been taught that no matter how unjust XXXX is, there is a good reason for it. They don't just forget it all once they become judges. They are not a clean slate.

    Judges have an opinion, but they dont take sides with one or the other, they go off "the law" etc..

    That is not to say they cannot be prejiduced, or indeed, that the law is not totally wank and they try to twist it the way they personally prefer..

    But the essential difference is actually noticeable when one sees how judges work.. Compared to those who make a living promoting the adverserialism and deliberately decieving to persuade on one side..
