streetjust's blog: "My Thoughts & Passions"

I first posted this entry on another site on October 18, 2006. I was recently asked to provide some resources regarding Family Law. I am NOT an attorney. However, I have argued cases in Utah and California. My research on the Violence Against Women Act has been recognized in court. Since I've been researching family law issues for over 10 years it would take me a very long time to list all of my resources. When researching issues of family law it quickly becomes obvious that this is an emotionally charged and politically motivated issue. My recommendations when looking for reliable sources is to avoid those sources that aren't gender-neutral. There exist groups purporting to represent women's rights, men's rights and even children's rights. Be aware of organizations willing to use a noble cause to pervert justice. Here are some of my book marks.
