THE CUSTODY CRISIS

Judges routinely take custody away from loving mothers and give sole or
joint custody to abusive
​and self-serving fathers.

 OUR MISSION

TWC's mission is to create solidarity, raise awareness about the custody crisis
and gather troops to
fight for a new system.​

ENDING THE CRISIS

Women are uniting to demand a new system
​that gives mothers power  to keep and protect their children after divorce.

"Family law is an area in which gender bias is rampant."
California Judicial Council

​"The Family Court system operates with open
​discrimination against women."
National Organization for Women

"Patriarchy's chief institution is the family."

Why It's Happening & How We Can End It

THE CUSTODY CRISIS IN A NUTSHELL

WHAT
Custody routinely switched to fathers

HOW
​Mothers falsely found to be lying or mentally ill 

WHY
To maintain men's power and control after divorce
​​​Women's right ​to due process ​and equal protection is being systematically
​and methodically violated.

Women Must Unite & Demand a New System.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has and never will."
Frederick Douglass

RECOMMENDED READING
Two books essential for understanding the Custody Crisis

"Mothers on Trial"
The Battle for Children and Custody

"Mothers on Trial" remains the bible for all women facing custody battles. This landmark book was the first to break the false stereotype that mothers receive preferential treatment over fathers in the courts.
​
​Dr. Phyllis Chesler shows that, with few exceptions, the news keeps getting worse: when a father wants custody, he usually wins." 

Rocking the Cradle Of Sexual Politics
What Happened When Women Said Incest

Louise Armstrong's book "Rocking the Cradle of Sexual Politics: What Happened When Women Said Incest " exposes how the Family Court system gives men permission to sexually assault their own children by giving them custody, and identifies the problem as systemic male entitlement.

THE FAMILY COURT PLAYBOOK

Where there's a pattern, there's a problem!

​​Women start out as primary nurturers of their children and end up ​with little or no visitation, especially when sexual abuse is reported.

Judges falsely find mothers to be lying, alienating, mentally ill, or emotionally abusive to justify switching custody to self-serving, controlling & physically and sexually abusive fathers.
