I have been fighting for custody of my two sons for years. My parental rights are constantly violated. They give custody to mothers who are on welfare and cannot provide for their children yet ignore the pleas and circumstances that should give fathers custody. They would rather a child be on welfare in poverty and make a good father pay child support so that they can dip into the support funds. They don't care about the child's grades or behavior. All they care about is what they can get out of the father or parent that has to pay. They give too much power to children as to whom they wish to live with rather than who they SHOULD live with. They are very slow when it comes to reversing a support order when it comes to an exchange in physical custody. (Example) I am still paying childsupport for to a mother who DOES NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN. NOR HAS SHE HAD THEM FOR SOME TIME NOW.

Independent court system is sad being the crisis on black families but this system is a prime example of why the judges need to be removed in the juvenile courts they violate parent’s right an sentence kids unjustified after they have violated

could be more helpful getting children child support from dead beat parent.!! I tried for years for child support and 25 years later still nothing for both my kids. Father walking free and any paying a penny to my kids or court.!!

I'm in need of life saving surgery, but cannot afford it because my lawyer informed me that Albany Family Court will not revisit my child support obligation unless I lose my job because of this or unpaid time off from this. I need to keep working to pay for my child at both homes along with keeping insurance. Even with insurance, surgery is going to cost over $10,000. My controlling ex lied to the court, I was told by the judge to let my ex, whom sexually assaulted me in front of our child years ago, to tour my residence. I have yet to see any justice from this court. A court that is ok with siding with lies without proof and allows a parent to die as long as the next few months of support are paid to the controlling parent who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars while there are legitimate cases where kids are being abused, yet stay with their parents concerns and saddens me greatly. These poor kids, including my own.

I go thru that now and unfortunately all you can do is joint custody, you can not control what she does when she has him because sometime talking does not work. All you can really do is the time you have ya son teach him right from wrong.

Call the police and they will go there and if she refuses she can be arrested. Given you have joint custody or legal. They will not send the regular police but they will send the auxiliary police

What to do if you lost an appearance ticket for a family court case and the FC clerk states there is nothing on the docket under the teens name?

J B | Sep 6, 2019
Jamel Muhammad | Sep 6, 2019

The appearance ticket is for you to report to probation... that's likely why they don't have it on schedule

Found out who the law guardian is to your child from family court, get the # and let the law guardian know what happened. You should of been appointed a lawyer I believe if you did not talk to or have a law guardian.

How do I email a judge?

It’s your girl Kay Kay | Sep 6, 2018
Faith Brown | Sep 6, 2018

You can call the court and ask what is the best way to contact the judge. Speak to your attorney and ask them to give the judge your letter. I am not sure the judge will give out their email. You may also write a letter and address it to the judge. If you are concerned that it may be intercepted by the wrong person and know which court the judge is in you can try (try) asking the sheriff if they would give your letter to the judge. Explaining why you have taken the steps you have taken. All fails if you have a court date ask the judge themselves. Explain why, be honest about why, be respectful to those who might be offended, but know though your reasons my not be agreed upon they are not necessarily false. Best of luck, many blessings, and i hope this was helpful.
