"Motherly instincts are praised in virtually every part of society except the Family Court System. Instead our innate instincts to protect our young are weaponized against us."
- Tina Swithin, One Moms Battle
The current family court system in the United States is failing our children by routinely awarding custody to the abusive parent in cases where abuse is present. It is estimated that over 58,000 children per year continue to be court-ordered into unsupervised visitation with their abuser and are, therefore, at risk.
While this issue impacts parents of all genders, current research proves that safe mothers are losing custody disproportionately, often by as much as 73-81% of the time. Due to this disparity, we advocate for safe mothers to have the most significant impact on the family court system.
Our mission is to ensure that evidence-based policy is created to prioritize child safety in all custody cases and that victims of domestic violence are properly and adequately protected post-separation and during family court proceedings.
Your support will allow us to develop awareness campaigns and expand our Global Family Court Advocacy Community; both are critical in raising awareness and advocating for this much-needed reform.
We hope that, regardless of gender, those who value healthy outcomes for our children will stand with us in this movement.
