you'll change your mind when you find yourself in court again facing one of these "public servants" who's word/opinion is taken as gospel - evidence be damned. who do you think His Honor Judge Blackrobe will agree with - little ol you or Mz Social worker? hope that doesn't happen to you, but it happens every day to parents in courts in this country.
Wrong. I have come face to face with the GAL and understand perfectly, firsthand, the implications of having an attorney by a different name ostensibly speaking in the best interests of my child. A social worker is little different, in my view. You've attributed to me, however, a position that I never took. Please don't put words in my mouth. I know it happens every day in this country, and that is exactly why the presumption of equal parenting is key. It sounds like we are largely on the same side of the issue.
I know Judge Blackrobe well and don't understand how you came to the conclusion I advocate what you're claiming I do. The presumption of equality for fit parents is key... To children, to the family, and to society at large... When equality rules for parents and children, the other issues can be more effectively tackled. Stopping ex-parte hearings without notification of the accused is also a big step that is being considered, legislatively, in NH right now. Talk about violation of equal protection... Unbelievable...
