THE PUBLIC RECORD.
Every number below comes from a family who filled out the survey. Contact details stay private; public quotes and names follow each family’s sharing choice and a separate human review.
This page is the numbers — totals, states, losses, PDFs. The named people with photos and share slides live on Court Actors.

Aggregate counts update as family submissions are incorporated. Quotes and court-actor records appear only after they meet the review and publication rules. The “latest” column shows when another family most recently submitted; it does not mean an unreviewed story was automatically published.

In families’ words
Court is very bias, doesn’t listen to father. Punished me for the mother withholding the child from me. I believe that she thinks fathers do not have rights.
Alienation of a parent. Been shut out of my child's life and not allowed to protect child from other psychological abusive parent.
Kept child in an abusive home where she has faced severe trauma, also kept me (mother) in trauma response living. Severe emotional, mental, and physical abuse the court will not let us escape from.
