About what one would expect from a group of people, who if you put two
together, still don't add up to a half-wit.

2004 NOW-NYS Convention:
Family Court: Exposing a National Crisis
GIDEON PUTMAN HOTEL - SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK
DECEMBER 3-5, 2004
The theme of this year's conference is Family Court: Exposing a
National Crisis. This conference draws together nationally acclaimed
experts
on the legal, psychological, and social implications facing women trapped
within a family court system rife with corruption, and admitted gender
bias.
This conference will closely examine a family court system, which
routinely
deprives mothers and their children of their human and civil rights. These
violations frequently result in mothers losing custody of their children
to
batterers, even in instances where there are outstanding allegations of
child abuse. In addition, women suffer a wide range of economic human
rights
violations by a court system that allows batterers to destroy them
financially through years of costly litigation, supervised visits, and
related practices. Our Keynote Speaker is Richard Ducote, an
internationally
acclaimed attorney who has represented women in over 40 states. We are
honored to have presenting at our convention Dr. Mo Hannah of the Battered
Mothers Custody Conference, Renee Beeker, (Chair, Michigan NOW Child
Custody
Family Law Task Force), and many other invited guests. We have put
together
an exciting and informative program, and hope you will join us for this
important event. For additional information, please contact us at

NATIONALLY RENOWNED ATTORNEY RICHARD DUCOTE TO HEADLINE NOW-NYS
CONVENTION ON FAMILY COURT
...Mr. Ducote has achieved a rare record of child advocacy
successes in his twenty-six years of practicing law. Always conscious of
the
importance of the relationship between social services and the legal
profession, just six months after his admission to the Louisiana Bar he
conceived, co-authored, and then directed a grant proposal submitted to
the
National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect to improve the court handling
of
child protection and foster care cases in the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana,
Juvenile Court where he had served as a probation officer. Read the full

The Status of Women in the Family Law Arena
Women in this country are denied their human and civil
liberties
because of the clear abuse of power by those who work in the judicial
system. While not all members of this system fail in their position, there
is a huge systemic sickness that has spread across this country resulting
in
the failure to protect the rights of women, and therefore the needs of
children.

Good, fit mothers are losing custody of children in 70 percent
of contested cases- along with their homes, professional licenses, and
life
savings. Read the full article...

Just where the hell do these morons come up with women loosing in 70% of
divorce cases??? Are they drunk? Are they stoned?? Or is it just that
they're brain-dead???

Of course, these are the same people that think the exit polls where
right,
too.
Just don't confuse 'em with the facts. They'd all have coronaries if we
did
that!
