I am a single father that has never been married with primary residential custodial rights and the only caregiver. I was awarded primary parental rights after the biological mother was arrested for using the diaper bag as a cover up in the commission of a crime. Once arrested my child was taken into state custody and the maternal grandparents was notified and was allowed temporary custody without my knowledge of any of this happening, Once the grandparents gained custody of my child they called me and threatened me that if i tried to make contact with my child, that they would have me arrested for attempt of child abduction. Seeing that the biological mother left the last name of the child the maternal name (Briggs) instead of Jones which is my last name. I was present for the delivery of my child at the hospital, but once i arrived i went to the delivery room and was greeted by the maternal grandmother. The doctor in the room looked up and said that only one of us could be in the room during the delivery. I said that i was staying and the maternal grandmother said that she was too. The doctor looked at me and asked if we was married and i had to say no. He said that the next of kin has the right. So i was asked to leave the room. Now i understand why it was so important to not have me in the room. To leave the child's last name the maternal in hopes they could exclude me from the child's life. After 4 years of being forced to stay away by threat of arrest and after the maternal grandmother gained custody. She finally decided to allow me to see my child. She then informed me that she was going to take me to child support court. I was happy because i had faith in the system that by being willing to comply with all the rules and regulations that i would be able to finally get to know my child and she (my child) would be able to get to know her father. The first day i was allowed to see my child she was 4 years old at the time. She was riding her tricycle in the front yard when i pulled up. She stopped in her tacks and was steering at the car in the driveway. She got off her tricycle and came running to me crying, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..
As we stood there crying and hugging, the maternal grandmother walked up and the first thing out of her mouth was i am taking you to court. As i said i placed faith in the system. But as the proceeding continued i discovered that the court was trying to hold me responsible for back child support. I spoke up and showed the court the proof of me being threatened to stay away. So they said by law that they could not hold me responsible for the back child support based on the facts presented. But what they did was they held both biological parents responsible to reinstate the state for the birthing cost and granted the maternal grand parents custody. Well i have been paying the arrears for the past 9 and a half years to the tune of $16,347.27. The biological mother has never been pursed. This is a violation of the equal protection of the law. But nonetheless i have discovered that the birthing cost was never paid for by the state, it was done on the maternal grandparents private insurance. This is why the court has failed to supply me after numerous request for a itemized invoice showing how they arrived at this amount they have held me to repay. This is my right as a consumer under the consumer protection act.
I finally was awarded custody because the maternal grandparents beat my child leaving bruises down her legs and across her back. I showed the photo's of the marks to the child support judge and he did nothing to protect my child. Leaving her in harms way. That day after the grandmother got home from court and my child got in from school, they took it out on the child once again.
For the court to grant custody to a third party with claimed rights over those of a natural and biological parents fundamental rights under the constitution of the united states. Violates everything the system states they stand for (The Child's Best Interest)!
But nonetheless they left the child in this violent environment and drug abuse to the point that the Maternal Grandfather tried to commit suicide in front of the children on Christmas day 2006 because of a bitter divorce that was playing out in front of the children as the two grandparents was still living together arguing and fighting in front of the children and the courts never once stepped in once they became aware of the situation. My child witnessed her biological mother being dragged out of the maternal grandparents home by the hair of her head after she ran and hide in a closet when the police knocked on the door looking for her over a warrant.
Only after i filed a petition in family court did i ever see any turn around in the situation. But i need to add that even that court did not want to do the right thing for the child. I was PRO SE meaning i did not have legal representation. I stood and was accountable by myself. Only after i raised the issue of my constitutional rights being violated in many ways did the court take a huge step back and understood i was educated enough to understand the violations that has been plaguing my family situation for many years was brought on by the system failing to protect and preserve the oath of office and the state and federal constitutions. This is a on going litigation with the General Assembly and the Court Of The Judiciary.
The fact that the courts have imposed on me (the biological natural father) a ridiculous amount of arrears unjustly, they have impeded my abilities to raise my child with all options available and i have to view this as being totally Bias and Prejudice based on gender. Because there is no other explanation.
Now that i have had a court ordered Child Support Order in place for the past 4 years i see that there is a double standard and a blatant disregard for the orders issued by the court by not enforcing them on the opposite sex (Female) but they go all out to enforce it on the male. I know i have lived this and continue to live this today because they have just issued a Automatic Jail Order for the arrears they say i owe, when they have not collected a single dime from the biological mother and she walks free..
The biological mother is a convicted felon of numerous accounts, child abuser and neglects. She even took back Christmas gifts i bought my child that my parents helped
get. Because i spent every dime i had on paying child support and found a way to still do for my child. She took them back and exchanged them in order to get receipt. Then took them to a different store and got refunds on the items. She did this to buy her deadbeat boyfriend beer.
See why i am so bitter about all of this is because my parents, my child's paternal grandparents was denied access to my child while i was. The courts allowed this to continue. My child was only allowed to get to know her grandparents now for 4 short years. My mother just passed away October 15th 2009. I was the last person to see and talk to my mother. We without knowing the days events, talked about this very subject. She told me that she was proud of me for standing up against all odds. She told me that loved me. She said that she sees a flaw in me and that she wanted me to fix it. This flaw she said is one i have myself and i wish had changed it too. The flaw was that i always care about other people feelings to the point i allow people to walk all over me. She said i do it too. She said "Son, you have got to learn how to just say it" ! You have got to stop holding things in and carrying them around. She made me promise her that day that i would just say it. She would not let it go. She said i am proud of the man you have become and i want you to know that i love you. I will always be here for you and i encourage you to reach for your dreams as i always have. Our last words was "I Love You" . i got the phone call just 1 hour later informing me that she had just passed away. The phone call was from my father that had found her.
See i gave my mother a promise, but i did not know that it was her dying wish for me. I am focused on correcting these issues no matter what lengths i have to go to in order to achieve this.
Please Help?
