The Family Court Turkey: Who Gets That “Award” In Your Case?
Administrator’s Note: This is the first of a three-part series we call the “Thanksgiving Trilogy.” With all the uncompensated work we have put into our joint reform efforts over the years, we have neither the resources nor the time to make it viral. We leave that to you, our fellow victims, tortured as you must be right now. So kindly pick one, pick them all, and make good therapy of your time by sending them out to the world. Send it to your representative in Congress or state legislature, a commission, good government group, your lawyer, even your parent “adversary” on this “thankless” family day. Maybe you’ll be very happy you did.

You have to wonder how they do it: America’s family court predators. They sit down each year at their Thanksgiving Day tables pretending to be normal and family oriented; the voodoo judges, practitioners and evaluators who have done more to destroy Thanksgiving than Hitler could have hoped for. They are the profiteers of a “custody” racket that would make any underworld figure envious. They are the real turkeys eating their own young.
There has never been a comprehensive study of the vast harm which these predators are causing to parents, children and families, let alone our productivity as a nation. We all know that any such study would be blocked or diluted by bar associations and other special interests. After all, it is a trillion-dollar gold mine they have cultivated and they mean to protect it at all costs (as I learned firsthand).
These predators feed off the almighty “custody” award, a lucrative engine for service fees of all kinds. It is mandated by federal law, Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Nowhere in that law is there any provision for shared parenting, and it has been adopted by states to obtain federal funds for court operations. Such “awards” make the winners feel real special. But in the end, they can become big time losers.
In my travels, I have come across custodial parents begging for the opportunity to turn the clocks back, to save their consciences and children from the harm which these “awards caused them. One of my predecessors, Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer, traveled the country exposing the corruption until 2010 when she was found dead in her bedroom, victim of a highly suspicious murder-suicide by her husband of 51 years.
I have submitted reports to judicial commissions, our Justice Department and a congressional oversight committee. All were ignored, lost or destroyed. In a nutshell, the lucrative “custody” battles fueled by Title IV-D results in creatures of statute known as “custodial” and “non-custodial” parents in place of the traditional mom or dad. Bizarre terms such as “custody” and “visitation” keep this long broken engine running, a Model T in an era of the internet.
Such terms are more appropriate for prisons and funerals. “Non-custodial” dads and moms are treated as visitors in their children’s lives, eventually ousted altogether as truly functioning parents. Meanwhile their “custodial” counterparts are not real “moms” or “dads.” They are doing everything in their “power” to find fake substitutes to keep the tax-free welfare benefits coming (child support).
These “antiquated” terms have been condemned by progressive jurists because they bring out the worst in parents when children need their best, i.e. veteran Family Judge Dennis Duggan in Webster v Ryan, 729 NYS2d 315 (2001) at fn. 1. But such decisions are quickly overturned and suppressed. And so, the band plays on, a regular freak show known as “family court,” a tribunal which one Supreme Court Justice labeled a Kangaroo operation, In re: Gault, 387 US 1 at 27-28.
In the spirit of Stalin and Hitler, we now have children spying on their parents to enrich their court appointed lawyers. It has become so absurd that the tail is wagging the dog, an “inverted order of childrearing” as I have called it in my studies, a formula so psychotic that logical minded “non-custodial” parents are ultimately forced to abandon their time-tested roles. And that’s when the state takes over (refer to your “custody order”).

Parenting Rights Institute
Since founding the Parenting Rights Institute, I have helped countless parents avoid the pitfalls of divorce and family court through non-lawyer assistance and personal precedent seeking actions. Here at Leon Koziol.com or Parenting Rights Institute, you will find a treasure trove of free information to help you save thousands of dollars in fees and irreparable damage to your children, livelihoods and families.
I have sacrificed everything for this cause because our nation’s divorce and family courts continue to operate under an archaic custody system which has become a gold mine for lawyers and other family court predators. Shared parenting has been routinely crushed in nearly all our states. Indeed in an article published in the November, 2016 edition of the Utica Phoenix, yet another veteran jurist (New York Family Judge Joan Shkane) writes:
The Child Support Standards Act (Federal Title IV-D) has not been modified much in the last approximate quarter century. Some experts say that it has not caught up with the realities of modern life. A higher earning parent may pay full child support even if the children are with that parent roughly one-half the time.This is because the law still considers the higher wage earner as the non-custodial parent for the purpose of child support.
What Judge Shkane carefully avoids, however, is how the lucrative custody system exploits children for lawyer profits. She makes no mention of the barbaric harm which this system inflicts upon innocent children. Instead she goes on to emphasize that child support is a right of the child not one or both parents. What she is really saying is that the children belong to the state and not mom or dad because it is the state which mandates the naming of a “custodial parent” for federal Title IV-D funding for the courts. It is the state which enforces child support through draconian practices that include debtor prisons. It is all a part of Hillary’s Village and New World Order.
I read the supplemental brief (my first reading EVER) and you have done a great job. Of course, I have my own story but some other time. From the maze of intellectual vocabulary and terminology, thank you for standing firm. I’m not sure if I believed your drive was due to the love of your daughters (after all who loves American teenagers) or the obligation of family unity. I particularly enjoyed the flagrant inclusion of unjust cases based on race, social standing and mindless radical behaviors. Thank you, in the end your daughters will love you and your fight. Your daughters will soon acknowledge your heroism and the damage will heal. And although your struggle is real, heart breaking and traumatic, your writing is captivating and electrifying! Forget about the book okay? Go for the TLC manuscript. Your story not only applies to fathers but the willful act of majesties and governing bodies to extract money from families.
It is like the inevitability of Charlie Brown to never fly that kite…. in the latest movie .. he does!

You can call our office at (315) 380-3420 or me directly at (315) 796-4000. Please share this post with parents or court victims you know and check out this critique by one of our book clients, a mom from Philadelphia:
Title IV-D of the Social Security Act is the federal funding mechanism which incites needless controversy between parents in our nation’s divorce and family courts. It creates federal revenues through performance measures based on the size and number of support orders. Put simply, the larger the orders, the more money for lawyers, judges, parenting “experts” and other predators who feed off our hard earnings and assets.
Logic dictates that such a system renders the presiding officers inherently biased, but justice incurs a disappearing act when it comes to big money. Proven experts and highly qualified lawyers like me who expose this system are targeted, gang assaulted and discredited through witch hunts and public stigmatization. Even worse, some like Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer are murdered under suspicious circumstances. Parent advocates, even those who understand this routine, surrender to their victimized state.
It is a trillion dollar fleecing scandal obscured by child propaganda, highly protected by bar associations and special interests, suppressed or ignored by media, and promoted by the Clinton crime family. For ten years I have been studying and exposing this epidemic only to incur the most unconscionable retributions from my profession, my government and the court-appointed “custodial parent.” (the real mom was consumed by this system long ago). And I was never even accused of a crime or found to be unfit as a parent.
You might say that I was remanded unwillingly to the role of Edward Snowden for the parenting rights movement, and the organization I founded in 2010, Parenting Rights Institute, has become the “Judicial Watch” for our divorce and family courts. It is an antiquated “pay to parent” process based on “custody wars” instead of a more constitutionally prescribed shared parenting doctrine. After the predators are done fleecing you of your money and sanity, they blame the parents for the wars they wage.
Two cases will explain how this process works. In Bast v Rossoff, 91 NY2d 723 (1998), a divorcing mom and dad, both lawyers earning roughly the same income, were denied a right to their own shared parenting arrangement based on the Title IV-D custody (funding) mandate adopted by the state legislature. In Dept of Family v U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 588 F.3d 740 (1st Dept 2009), a federal appeals court addressed the performance deficiencies of Puerto Rico that caused a loss of Title IV-D funding.
In 2011, 2015 and 2016, I personally delivered and mailed comprehensive reports to the Justice Department (DOJ) and Congress in Washington D.C. Despite follow-up calls and petitions to the Supreme Court, not the slightest degree of interest was shown. Of course, low turn-outs at our rallies in the nation’s capital did not help. Such apathy only showed the politicians that there was no problem here despite the increasing numbers of victimized parents. I was doing the unpaid job that oversight officials were paid to do.
Over the past few months, I have elevated my focus on corruption at the highest levels of government. From the Supreme Court where I filed a motion for disqualification of Justice Ginsburg to Hillary’s (Village) take-over of child rearing as part of her New World Order. I cautioned my followers about a regime so corrupt that the people will follow the lead of Hillary and begin to take laws into their own hands. And so it happened. FBI agents have revolted against Justice DOJ politicians like Attorney General Loretta Lynch who is busy protecting Hillary on an Arizona tarmac and now with our nation’s highest office.
If politicians, judges and prosecutors are going to continue to enjoy the benefits of “official” and “unofficial” immunity, why not the rest of us? Are we not a self-governing society? Aren’t they supposed to be our “public servants?” Indeed at least one criminal defendant in Florida has already asserted a Hillary precedent defense. I have formally raised the issue in my latest case before the Supreme Court. And if our standard-bearers of lawyer ethics are not prosecuted (chief counsel and deputy lawyers fired for falsified time sheets during their witch hunt on me), then why should the rest of us follow the rule of law?
I have published so many corruption stories over the past six years on this site that we are about to see an implosion (if not an explosion) in Washington, maybe even our courts. In my domestic case, 35 trial level judges were disqualified, unprecedented in history. I must have had something right when I set out to reform this corrupt system. But I cannot do it alone while the retributions escalate. So please read on, share and support me while we might still be able to avert further harm to our children and future generations…
Opening News Story at the time Parenting Rights Institute was founded in 2010
From the PRI Administrator
The Parenting Rights Institute (PRI) was founded in 2010 as an advocacy group for moms, dads and families victimized by abusive divorce and family courts across the country. An office was opened in New York with a Court Program to assist poorly represented or self represented parties. It featured a seminar lecture and five part reading program with court forms and transcripts to educate parents and prevent serious financial and personal harm. Its updated version is available at www.parentingrightsinstitute.com or by ordering it from our office at (315) 380-3420.
The work of the Institute expanded in the years since. A planning session was conducted at the Plaza Hotel at Central Park in Manhattan attended by lawyers, former judges and parental advocates. In 2011 we conducted a Parental Rights Convention at a hotel conference room attended by activists from different parts of the country. Five time Super Bowl winner Tim McKyer was a featured speaker. In April, 2012 we sponsored a lobby initiative in Congress. Two months later, a rally was held at the federal appeals court at Foley Square in Manhattan to support the parental rights case, Parent v New York, argued by Dr. Leon Koziol.
In 2013, Dr. Koziol was among those selected to give testimony on behalf of the Parenting Rights Institute before the Moreland Commission on Public Corruption at Pace University. That testimony can be found on Leon’s personal website at http://www.leonkoziol.com and it was cited by a lawyer committee in Albany to suppress and censor his reform efforts. Corruption exposed at the Moreland hearings included Leon’s pedophile custody judge, Bryan Hedges, removed from his case for “political espionage” and from the bench one year later for admitting to sexual misconduct upon the judge’s handicapped, five year old niece. He also exposed fictitious college degrees used by his replacement Judge Daniel King to impose draconian support and custody orders in retaliation.
In 2014, Dr. Koziol participated in a video documentary produced by Dr. Joseph Sorge of Divorce Corp focused on child support abuses, judicial corruption and marginalization of parents for profit. These abuses have remained without real accountability and causing taxpayers mounting expenses for their criminal and family court systems. Another censorship process was commenced by a lawyer ethics committee against Leon citing the video as its source. That process was vigorously challenged on First Amendment grounds but it prevented him from making a formal presentation at the Divorce Corp Family Law Reform Conference in Washington D.C.
In May, 2016 gag orders on our public statements were removed after Leon filed an extraordinary mandamus action in New York Supreme Court. We have achieved a record for holding lawyers, judges and family court predators accountable where our political ethics commissions are failing us. We have traveled as far away as Hawaii, California, Nashville, Carolinas, Canada and Paris seeking recourse for parent rights violations. Children are being abused, needlessly alienated and exploited for profit in a manner never seen before in human history. The media is ignoring a growing epidemic at the root of our societal problems, moral decay and worker productivity. Bar associations and special interests anxious to preserve a trillion dollar gold mine are suppressing reform, true accountability and parent advocacy groups such as the PRI.
A documentary published this month by Dr. Koziol and PRI produced immediate reactions from powerful adversaries. Entitled “Family Court Epidemic in Rural America,” it exposed shocking aspects of unmitigated corruption in divorce and family courts which is escalating all over the country. These are plain talk presentations publicized through You-Tube and viral sites everywhere that eventually work their way to the top of Google searches regarding the lawyers, judges and entities we are investigating and exposing. In this way the Parenting Rights Institute has become a citizen’s commission for judicial accountability. We are doing the vital work of those who are neglecting their paid public duties. In short we have become the Judicial Watch or NRA for abused families.
These are only some of the strategies underway and detailed in a business plan which is available to potential donors and investors. Accordingly we are appealing publicly to you for help. You may be in a position to join our efforts or invest personally. You may also know of a business, estate or philanthropist who can provide the needed financial support. Our potential cannot be denied. The proof is found throughout our website pages at Leon Koziol.com or the Institute. As the thirty second television clip here shows, our PRI Director Leon Koziol has won numerous high profile cases, but this “War on Parents” is clearly his greatest challenge. Help us help you.

2008 television clip depicts David and Goliath battles of Dr. Leon Koziol as a New York trial attorney prior to founding the Parenting Rights Institute
Former city councilman and parent advocate, Dr. Leon Koziol, sharing war stories with U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer at Utica Boilermaker Post Race Party on July 10, 2016. Recently removed Family Judge Daniel King might take issue with this photo as evidence of a “prohibited alcohol related gesture.” True story: he made that up from a wedding toast by Leon after getting no competent evidence of unfit parenting even though a barmaid in King’s home town has the judge’s drink committed to memory with his own children nearby. This is the extreme which corruption and double standards have gone to suppress a judicial whistle blower.
Parental and civil rights advocate, Dr. Leon Koziol, has submitted a report to a Congressional Oversight Committee for an investigation of corruption in our nation’s divorce and family courts. Authority for such an investigation is found under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act (Child Support Standards Act and federal incentive funding).
This yields biased family judges and draconian enforcement practices. At least one British court denied extradition to the states for this reason. It was also a cause for the police murder of Walter Scott, an unarmed father shot dead five times in the back while fleeing a child support warrant at a traffic stop. Dr. Koziol attended his funeral services in South Carolina last April, predicting an escalating level of violence before national media.
Put more bluntly, police officers, veterans and minorities are being killed to protect over billing practices of lawyers and bottom feeders in family court. This post is motivated by a report this month revealing a veteran suicide rate of 20 per day and the suicide of yet another loving dad this week who was deprived of a proper parenting relationship while being subjected to child support incarceration (Dr. Ted Fattorros).
Fellow victims, this is an epidemic caused by a calculated break-up of the American family and our moral fiber as a nation. Fathers and non-custodial mothers are being deprived of their most fundamental human rights to enjoy a distinct family structure with their own offspring. It is being deprived by a federal funding law which mandates unequal custodial titles for profit. You have to get immediately and directly involved. Keyboards in the comfort of your homes may provide therapy but they are achieving nothing.
