Hi, I am Jack.* Welcome to Justice for Dads! I hope that you enjoy your visit to our site. I plan on doing everything I can to help you out.
Let my experiences in the Australian family court system be an example to the worldwide public on how fathers and their children are treated by the Australian justice system in our present time! You may well have very similar stories to tell about your experiences, no matter what country you are in. I want this website to be a forum for such experiences. Please tell us your story and let the court of public opinion be our judge! After all, the system had let us down and failed to protect our and our children’s rights!
Many of us who had lost the right to have children and families, see no purpose in a life that condemns us to slavery, in being indentured to the State for life. We become less productive. Perhaps, to escape the destitution and unbearable oppression by a cruel system that contrived to rob us of our families, we become substance abusers. We become unemployed. We become members of the skid row. We commit suicide. And some of us ultimately crack completely and lash out by killing ourselves, our children and the mothers of our children. Some even kill their lawyers. As victims, when all had been taken from us, too many of us resort to some form of redress in desperation. But none of these are the answers!
We must fight the system through the court of public opinion. This is what this website is dedicated to. Please feel free to air your grievances. And who knows? We may just be able to bring about changes to a system that treats fathers worse than criminals and children as disposables. God help us in this!
*Jack is not my real name. For legal reasons, I cannot reveal my identity, or those of other individuals involved in various legal and/or court proceedings. If I did, I would no doubt be sued for defamation. My aim is to highlight to the general public the injustices of so-called “modern” Family Law with respect to fathers and their children, rather than be silenced by the strong arm of the laws which are designed more to protect those who make and administer and feed their ego from them, than to align with public expectations of accountability, transparency and humanely justice.
That sucks. Give dads a fair go…biased system!
