One Standard for Justice, Not Two: How Political Hypocrisy Mirrors Family Court Bias

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Family courts, like our political system, suffer from a dangerous double standard. Fathers’ voices are too often dismissed, their evidence ignored, while mothers’ accusations are taken at face value. Just as the media excuses extremism from the left while condemning the right, family courts excuse obstruction by mothers while punishing fathers for even minor missteps. Until there is one consistent standard of justice, parents—and children—will continue to pay the price.

Maryland Punishes Parents Harder Than Criminals — And It’s a National Shame

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

In Maryland, a father can be jailed for fighting false accusations in family court while a teenager who commits an armed carjacking is released the same night. Parents like Jeff Reichert have been punished more severely for wanting to see their children than violent offenders face for terrorizing communities. At times, it seems easier to access your child through prison visitation than through family court. That is not justice—it’s systemic failure, and it demands reform.
