On this episode, Lewis Home, a Persian Gulf veteran, a New York City firefighter, and a father is his guest. Lewis has experienced firsthand the difficulties a father faces when trying to remain a part of their child's life, such as access, child support, and false allegations. Lewis was even arrested for false allegations. He has now created a petition for family law to be changed in New York State. On the show, Lewis shares his story of how he has been affected by the family court system, and how he is working to reform the system.
Highlights
And the court should provide you with that information. And you may be discouraged, but you have to do it. You have to keep doing this. I encourage every father to go online and find your local senators email address and reach out to these senators. Send letters. Send letters. Type up the email. And then after you email it, copy and paste it, put in a Word document and a letter format. Print it out, send it to your senator, get proof that you mailed it to them, like certified or whatever and show that you keep sending out to them, keep standing on top of them.
So you walk in the courtroom, you hold your head high, you do what you can, and if all fails and you feel like they're cheating, you, make some noise. Go to the news. File complaints against these judges. Keep filing the complaint until somebody gets your attention. They're going to have to do work. Whoever you file a complaint against, they're going to have to do work. You should go to a court clerk and say, how can I file a complaint against this judge?
And since the start of the year, since the start of the new year 2023, there's been seven or eight instances where mothers have killed their children. Because I've been watching it, I've been compiling it and posting about it, and it's unreal. The amount of times I've heard, well, it must be postpartum depression, and they blame it on postpartum depression. And they go so far as to defend these mothers that do these heinous acts. And family court, they don't care. Because you know what?
And then I'm also seeing a lot of cases where now this postpartum postpartum depression is a huge issue where a lot of kids are being killed in the hands of the mother, and they just keep turning a blind eye. Like just recently, not to law, a few months ago, a mother killed her kids in Coney Island on the beach. You would think family court would say, all right, now we have to do something about this.. They didn't do anything about it, and it's ridiculous, and they won't.
Yeah, I went and took a look at the petition today and signed it and everything, and you are getting signatures. And when I posted the advertisement for this episode, I've had a lot of people reach out to me wanting the link, wanting to know how they can go about signing the petition. And I will put the petition link in the show notes so people can go and sign it and share it. And I will be sharing it to my page here after we get offline, after this is over, to get more signatures for you. What's the threshold for signatures that you need before it gets picked up?
