Learn What’s Really Going On...

What’s happening in Washington’s family courts isn’t about complicated relationships, “high conflict custody,” or misunderstandings between parents. That’s the cover story. The real story is much more dangerous.

Washington’s family courts have become the one place where constitutional rights disappear, oversight is meaningless, and victims are routinely punished for speaking up.

These are not isolated mistakes. They are systemic failures—by design.

• Judges are not neutral. They have near-total discretion, almost no accountability, and routinely override existing law.
• Commissioners make most family court rulings—and they’re not elected. They operate without transparency, and their power is [un]checked by a Judge buddy down the hall.
• There is no representation. Family court is the only courtroom in the state where you don’t get a public defender or legal aid—even when your child’s safety is on the line.
• Court-appointed professionals profit from prolonged litigation. Custody evaluators, guardians ad litem, and therapists form an unregulated industry that benefits from keeping families trapped in conflict.
• Protective parents are being punished. When they try to shield their children from abuse, they are labeled as mentally unstable, accused of “abusive use of conflict” and stripped of custody or making decisions for their own children.

What makes Washington different? They are more brazen. The judges aren’t just applying the law—they’re actively walking the halls in Olympia with lobbyists, and shaping laws to fit their agenda.

Judicial associations and private member groups are lobbying behind closed doors, pushing policies that increase judicial discretion and reduce public oversight, and handing children to abusive parents. These proposals are quietly adopted by political and industrial allies, while children suffer the consequences.

You never voted for this.

You weren’t supposed to even know, by design.

The system isn’t failing because it’s overwhelmed or underfunded. It’s failing because those in power benefit from its failure.

• Abusive parents are granted custody.
• Children are placed in danger.
• Victims are silenced by gag orders.
• Social Service and Domestic Violence Organizations lobby for “victim funding”, to which never reaches victims of Family Court.
• Lawyers, GAL, Supervision, and other court ordered professionals rake in hundreds of thousands annually for pursuing 'justice'.

And every person in the system—from judges to evaluators to politically and ideologically motivated nonprofits—is incentivized to look the other way and exonerate unethical practices.

This isn’t family law.

It’s legalized gaslighting backed by taxpayer dollars.
