We are Fathers 4 Justice... We are fathers, mothers, grandparents and children, we are everywhere and we are organizing, JOIN US!
What IS Fathers-4-Justice®?
Fathers-4-Justice® US (F4J®) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, volunteer army of fathers, mothers, grandparents, and others dedicated to fighting for truth, justice and equality in family law.
The F4J® army is building and NOW is the time for YOU to join our ranks in the name of protecting America's children from the abuse they suffer in the family court system!
What will you tell your child when they ask What did YOU do in the war on corrupt family courts?
F4J® knows that every parent is a superhero in the eyes of a child. F4J® also believes that it takes “superhero powers” to fight the corruption in America's family courts. To that end, superhero parents in costumes as Superman, Superwoman, Spiderman, Batman and other childhood superhero favorites are frequently found leading the F4J® US troops at rallies, demonstrations, and other events to bring much needed humor and media attention to its cause. F4J® merchandise , such as F4J® branded tee shirts are designed to make a positive impression in courtrooms and elsewhere.
Fathers-4-Justice® understands that fathers, mothers and grandparents across America have suffered because of an unjust family court system. However, statistics clearly indicate that fathers and their children have taken the greatest abuse from this unjust and intolerable system, which is why we created FATHERS-4-Justice® US.
Anyone who supports equality in family courts is welcome in our organization. We do

Anyone who supports equality in family courts is welcome in our organization. We do not favor sole custody by either parent when both parents are fit. We believe that children of divorce or separation deserve the right to be raised equally by BOTH parents.
Asking for justice hasn't worked for more than 30 years, It is time to DEMAND it!

What We Do
Fathers-4-Justice® (F4J®) is a civil rights campaign organization that employs a multi-pronged approach for spreading its message across the United States Using direct action done with humor, our message is that the bias and discrimination currently found in our family courts and family law will no longer be tolerated.
How We Do It
Our primary method of campaigning is accomplished through the use of high profile and unique demonstrations done with humor to focus media attention on a specific issue, or a public official, that is not supportive of truth, justice and equality in family law and the family courts. We are the “feet on the streets”, shouting our demands for equality at the very courthouse and legislature doors where justice is being denied.
Other campaign methods also include meeting with officials to express our strong concerns, letter writing, television and radio ads, billboards and participation in parades and other high profile public events.
We believe in the methods and actions taken by history's great civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, to ensure that a collective voice is heard.
What We Are Not
We are NOT a legal service and cannot offer legal advice
We do NOT provide financial assistance
We do NOT organize public demonstrations in support of individual cases
The national organization cannot provide individual help. You are encouraged to join F4J® by becoming a member.You will then be directed to a state coordinator who will let you know of other members in your area. From there we can all share our personal experiences and provide moral support that will lead to the ultimate success of our mission.

Mission
Fathers-4-Justice®
USA BLUEPRINT FOR FAMILY LAW REFORM
Our Mission: That there may be Truth Justice and total Equality in Family Law in every family court in the United States and that every court judge, legislator and public servant be fully accountable to the people for which they have been elected, appointed or hired to serve.
General Parenting Issues
Fathers-4-Justice® hereby demands that:
1. The Governor of EVERY state issue a proclamation declaring that both parents are equally important in the raising and care of their children.
2. The Federal government commission a study of the family courts systems in the United States to evaluate their impact on parents and children after divorce or separation and particularly the negative impact of courts have regarding the relationships of fathers and there children and the resulting impact on our children.
3. Each state fund a commission to enable the production of Public Service Announcements and brochures designed to promote education and policies which would bring both parents and their children closer together.
Family Law
Fathers-4-Justice® demands that:
1. It should be each state’s public policy that it is in the public interest as well as the best interest of children and families to encourage parents to share the rights and responsibility of child rearing. To this end Fathers-4-Justice® demands that each state enact legislation stating that a rebuttable presumption of 50/50 joint physical and legal custody be the starting point custody disputes for fit parents where this is desired by at least one parent AND that such an arrangement should be supported and encouraged. Parenting time should be ''maximized''. The parties should anticipate, that those administering or supervising domestic cases (i.e., family court) will make every effort to maximize the time parents have with their children to avoid rendering either of the parties a loser in the action, and to maximize the likelihood that children will have both natural parents involved in a meaningful way. Children want, love, and need two parents.
2. It should be each state’s public policy that frequent and continuing contact between minor children and both parents, if the parents have separated or dissolved their marriage, is presumed to be beneficial to the children for all fit parents.
3. All states must modify its policy of enforcing only the monetary support portion of family court decrees to include equally stringent enforcement of parenting time portions of those decrees.
4. “Move away” laws should be enacted in every state that prohibit a parent from moving the Child(ren) a substantial distance from the other parent without the written agreement of the other parent to assure a meaningful relationship is maintained with the non-moving parent and that a stable living environment may continue for the child(ren).
5. Each state enact gender neutral Domestic Kidnapping laws that make it a crime with severe mandatory penalties for either parent to move and hide the identity and location of a child from the other parent. In addition each state must have reciprocal enforcement agreements with all other states.
6. Every state and the federal government protect our military and civilian men and women from domestic court proceedings taking place while they are away on active duty or required to be temporary relocated and unable to appear or contest such proceedings. This protection should include but not be limited to establishing or changing support orders, custody issues, moving the children and divorce proceedings.
7. Family Bill of Rights
a). Must be established at a federal level
b). A family bill of rights must be provided to each parent when married or when a motion for divorce, custody or child support is filed or served.
8. That every family court and judges be required to publish and have available to the public detailed statistics regarding custody requests made and decisions rendered.
9. That every family court be open to the public and media without exception.
Domestic Violence
Fathers-4 Justice® hereby demands that:
1. Judges, prosecutors and other court personnel should attend educational conferences on domestic violence (DV) structured to avoid the present gender bias that ignores or discounts domestic violence by women against both men and children.
2. Properly trained Case Evaluators should screen each domestic violence case with the goal of arriving at mutually agreeable solutions in an atmosphere of communication and compromise.
3. Evidentiary standards and procedures should be reviewed and revised by in domestic violence cases and such standards and procedures should be revised whenever gender biasness is found and that this review should be done on a continuous basis by a gender neutral state funded committee.
4. Each state’s application for state and VAWA funding be reviewed by the Attorney General to determine the extent to which the application of such funds have been illegally denied funding and to determine the extent to which the services provided meet the gender neutral requirements of the Violence Against Women Act.
5. False allegations of domestic violence, child abuse and sexual abuse should be made a criminal offence with severe but appropriate mandatory sentencing.
Child Support
Fathers-4 Justice® hereby demands that:
1. States should finance a Commission to conduct a detailed study of the root causes of the child support arrearages and make recommendations of new methods to reduce arrearages without having to resort to incarceration and other methods that would not limit the income or parenting time of the obligor.
2. Child support should be based on the basic costs of supporting a child (food, clothing and housing) and should not include “disguised alimony”.
3. Child support should terminate at age 18 or upon graduation from High school which ever comes last.
4. No parent should be forced to fund a child’s college education.
5. Child support must consider the costs associated with supporting the children in BOTH the mother’s and father’s households. Support must follow the child.
Paternity Fraud and Certificates of Birth
1. Paternity fraud should be made a criminal offense with mandatory penalties.
2. Child support paid in fraudulent pretexts’ should be recoverable by the obligor with no statute of limitations.
3. DNA testing at birth should be mandatory for unmarried, married or divorcing couples PRIOR to establishing paternity.
