Bravo. Custody law is a sham and a corruption against bedrock constitutional justice. Family Court grants no constitutional justice whatsoever. In fact, it and its supporting industry thrives on denying it.

You ask why this is so? It’s because of bad social law, enabled partly by leftist gender feminists who root for lopsided treatment of and by the sexes, and by rightists who mistakenly that the best way to deal with the Welfare State is by enacting bulletproof welfare enforcement, against any number of constitutional proofs and protections, that always force single fathers to pay, even if it has to create them, which it does by the legions.

The root causes are exposed in Stephen Baskerville’s brilliant new book, Taken Into Custody, which documents the enormous money trail from Washington DC’s Title IV-D, down to your local divorce industry, which earns millions in federal kickbacks.

You read that right: Single parenthood makes a pile of money and the combination of trial lawyers and gender feminists work in your statehouse to keep it so. They benefit, and your state’s coffers benefit.

The short version is that we’ve created a culture that’s invented enormous incentives to have children out of wedlock, or once in wedlock, to end it. “Child support” and a lackey family court system, operating as what amounts to a secret, unconstitutional court, have made a nightmare out of the American family. The situation is now so bad that the conventional wisdom simply says to never get married, and never have children.
