​The Child Custody Act​

aka "Damon's Law"

​The Child Custody Act will effectively end the Custody Crisis by legislating for a new system that provides due process for parents and protection for children.

The crisis is occurring because the Family Court system is designed so judges can falsely find women to be liars, alienators, mentally ill or abusive, so reforming the present system will not work.

The Child Custody Court Act codes for a new system in which custody cases are heard in a regular civil court with the right to a jury trial and many other due process protections.

Women must unite as a class to demand the "Child Custody Court Act" be enacted, as there'll be tremendous resistance to a reform which reduces men's power in the family.

"Damon's Law" is named after a brave boy
who was forced into the sole custody of his sexually abusive father
despite his mother's tireless efforts to protect him in Family Court.
Details of his case can be seen at SavingDamon.com.

NOTE OF CAUTION

NOTE:  The reforms detailed in the Child Custody Act must not be used in part. Every reform in the Child Custody Act is necessary to end the crisis. Anything less will allow for loopholes which will enable judges to spin cases to the father.
