4000 Children a Day

Lose a Parent in Family Law

The Zero-Sum Game of Family Law

  • Each child placed into foster care is worth $6000 to the State.

  • This generates $1.5 billion-a-year for selling kids into foster homes.

  • The U.S. family law industry is now a $70-billion-a-year money machine.

  • Globally, the family law industrial complex generates nearly $1 Trillion annually.

The Main Characters

The Cartel of Family Law

The Profiteers

Waiting in the wings to be retained are the merciless cartel of family law firms, judges, forensic accountants, child psychologists, guardian ad litems, visitation monitors and state bar associations who write their own ‘get rich quick’ playbook - the family law code book - to profit off the pain of parents, partners and children. Their goto strategy is called ‘The Silver Bullet.’

The Petitioner

The Instigator

In family law, the person who files for marriage dissolution is known as the petitioner, which is the equivalent of a plaintiff. The petitioner places themselves at a supreme advantage, and a mother petitioner claiming victimhood at the hands of a bad man is almost untouchable. 

The Respondent

The Unwitting Participant

By definition, if the mother is the petitioner, the father becomes the Respondent—the equivalent of the defendant. The Respondent is immediately at risk of being cast as the de facto villain of the piece, continually burdened with disproving the blizzard of allegations leveled against him—regardless of their truthfulness.

What is the strategic blueprint petitioners and their attorneys use to guarantee victory?

Silver Bullets: simple, seemingly magical solutions to difficult problems.

In this case, marriage disillusionment.

How many silver bullets inside the chamber?

Locked and Loaded!

The Chamber Unloads

Deceiving and subduing their spouse (soon to be the enemy) to complacency during the prelude to hostilities, while setting in motion an attack at the same time, the chamber unloads like this...

Over 1 million children per year have limited access to a parent as a result of court actions.

Over ⅓ of America’s children, more than 23 million kids, go to bed each night without one of their biological parents available.

In excess of $100 billion is spent annually on a system that fosters social havoc and unrest.  

Oversight of “the system” is vested in those professionals who derive their livelihood from working within the system.  The “independent auditors” have little idea of how to evaluate the family law system.

  • The social costs are enormous. 

  • The economic costs are incalculable. 

  • The mental health costs are devastating. 

  • The personal costs are unfathomable.

  • The harm to children, families and society is unsustainable.
