Tell us your story
Why your story matters: We appreciate your willingness to share your story with us. Hearing your story gives us a clearer view of what is happening in the family court system. We want to hear all of your stories, and appreciate all of the submissions that we get.
Currently, we are in search of stories on two specific topics in family court cases: Court Reporters & Reunification Treatments. (Approximate word count: 300 words). Please do not put your personal identifying details within the body of the story so that we can protect your identity, if that is a concern for you.
URGENTLY NEEDED:
If you have a story about how the lack of access to a court reporter or a verbatim record negatively impacted you we want to hear about it.
If you or your children, have a story related to a reunification treatment program (Camp, workshop, therapeutic vacation, aftercare) we want to hear about it.
Thank you for coming forward.

Your name and contact information will remain private unless you mention it in the text of your narrative.Why your case details matter
When a child is abused by a family member, we expect the child will be placed in the custody of the safe parent.
When child abuse is reported by a parent, that protective parent is often disbelieved, blamed, punished, and discredited by the court system. The children are often ordered into custody with their named abusers.
These are not isolated cases. As we continue to collect your stories, we are able to provide evidence to fund and build more programs to bring about change.
We need your stories to help us ensure your voice is heard and to gain understanding of the current trends occurring in the family court system.
As we develop the site further, we will have another form here to collect case details. Please check back again.
