Texas Federal Court Set to Hear Constitutional Parental Rights Violations

Pro Se parents sue Texas over unconstitutional family law practices.

(OPENPRESS) Parents are about to find out if they have protected constitutional rights in divorce and whether the Texas family code violates those rights.

The Palmers, accomplished what attorneys told them would be impossible, the Eastern District Federal Court accepted their brief on Thursday that cites their family court judges ignore parental rights and children's rights and that the Texas family code violates the constitutional rights of parents and children, in Palmer et al v. Paxton Jr., et al,. Parents and attorneys had not been able to be heard by the federal courts on these constitutional violations before this since the passage of numerous abstention doctrines like Rooker-Feldman and Younger Abstention.

The Palmers' brief, written by the two parents, argues that parental rights protect children from the stress and damage of family courts and that when judges ignore this they are abusing their power, causing parents to fight over children more, causing children unnecessary harm, and is in violation of both the children's and the parents' constitutionally protected rights. The federal court is set to rule on this sometime after April 2016.

According to the Palmers, fit parents should not be required to fight over the custody of their children, and that most parents fight in court because if they don't they lose rights and time with their child, and child support comes along with those extra rights. This quite often also leads to people making false allegations and escalating into abusive behaviors and increasing the number of violent crimes like domestic violence and murder. Divorce makes up about 40% of civil cases, and almost 70% of re-openings, according to the Family Law Supreme Court steering committee. They also make formidable arguments that child support violates the 4th amendment.

A constitutional divorce would mean that by default both parents start out on equal ground, support the child equally and equal time with both parents would be protected without the need for litigation. Less fighting in court would protect children from 65% increased anxiety and stress, 44% increased aggression, and 21% higher risk of becoming sexual active earlier according to research from Massachusetts General Hospital's study and personal experience of former judges like Superior Judge Elaine Gordon. Children are proven to do better when they can be with both parents equally according to The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health published last year.

Many states throughout the U.S. are using the Palmers' arguments to propose bills like Colorado's Parent's Bill of Rights, HB16-1110, to protect fundamental parental rights to the care, custody, and control of their child equally. The Wall Street Journal reports that at least 20 states have proposed shared parenting bills.

Millions of parents all over the U.S. have been desperately searching for ways to have the federal courts review the exercise of state power in divorce proceedings, but haven't been successful until now.

The problem is growing and The Father's Rights Movement of Texas reached over 6 million people on their Facebook page looking for justice. Shows like Speak Up, The Parenting Revolution, Leaving Footprints, and The Fourth Branch, are just a few shows that have been exposing these unconstitutional practices. National Parents Organization, FCLU, Catherine MacWillie of Custody Calculations, and many others, have been fighting to raise awareness and provide solutions for the growing number of people with family court grievances unable to get justice.

The 50 billion dollar a year divorce industry, as cited by the Huffington Post, robs children and their families under the guise of protecting a child's best interest. A practice that the Palmers call unconstitutional in their brief to the federal court and in their book, "NOT in The Child's Best Interest," published in 2013 which uses U.S. Supreme Court rulings to support their arguments that parents and children have protected fundamental rights.
