“The Change is Long Overdue” ~ Florida Senate Bill 250 for Equal Shared Parenting is now law.
Permanent alimony, defined formulas are key points in new legislation
By Paul Giorgio – Producer
MELBOURNE, Fla. – Major changes could be coming to Florida’s alimony law.
Alan Frisher, co-founder of The Family Law Reform advocacy group, said the change is long overdue.
“I think our laws are really archaic,” he said. “We haven’t changed our laws for the last 50 years in essence and now it’s time to really make the change.”
Frisher said there are five key points to the proposed law. In addition to the removal of permanent alimony and the ability to modify or eliminate alimony at retirement, the bill also defines a formula judges must use when determining settlements.
“We want to be able to give judges discretion, but we don’t want to give them so much discretion that there’s no consistency from one sector to another, because right now there’s no predictability or consistency,” Frisher said.
Currently if someone paying alimony remarries, the courts can view the new spouse’s income as ‘family income’ that is eligible for an upward modification in payment.
Under the current law, modification is also possible if a payer earns a greater yearly salary. Payers cannot be brought back to court under the new bill.
A similar bill was vetoed in 2013 by Gov. Rick Scott. That bill had language that would have allowed it to apply retroactively. Scott said it would have unanticipated results. HB 943 has eliminated that language.

Shoot the Messenger in Family Courts
Yes. They Shoot the Messenger in Child Custody/Access Cases | Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW
A parent called me asking for me to provide an assessment. I explained I do not provide court involved services anymore and explained why. The caller asked for a referral to someone who did. I offered the name of a respected colleague.
The caller emailed thereafter and included in the email messages that had been posted about the colleague on the Internet. The postings portrayed my colleague quite terribly. The caller wanted to understand how I could refer to such a person. My reply was this:
WHEN are WE as AMERICANS going to STAND UP
…and no longer allow Family Courts to “Courtnap” a child for one parent;
Or allow CPS to kidnap and murder our children?
Why is it so important we reform Family Law?
Why these problems constitute a sophisticated form of Racketeering, something a friend of mine recently named the “cartel of Family Courts”?

A corruption that is killing our children here and around the world:
CORRUPTION
Here in Florida, the number of children who have died under the mafia of the Family Court system is increasing at an alarming rate. Count went from 490 to 533 (+6 in a matter of days) in only a few months:
Thank you Miami Herald for standing up for our children.
We must unite to put an end to this madness.
If you are tired of seeing innocent children die under the care of the family court system, help us Raise Hell, and stand up for them.

January 1st, I spent the day looking into the case of Logan Marr, a 5 year old who had been caught in the CPS system since the age of 2, in spite of there being no allegations of any neglect (or) abuse by her mother Christy Marr. A CPS Caseworker Sally Schofield, doubled up as a Foster Care Parent, however, she could not cope with Logan’s rage at the system, for being removed from her Mother Christy. On January 31st, 2001, Sally Schofield murdered Logan Marr in her basement. She initially lied about it, but soon admitted to her use of deadly force.
When are we as AMERICANS going to stand up and no longer allow CPS to kidnap and murder our children? There have been hundreds of CPS murders or deaths of children, over the last few years.
This year, I declare January as the month of Logan Marr…

A Broken Family Court System:
‘What are You Prepared to do?’
Ignorance is bliss in some scenarios, and as a father having been involved in a contentious divorce and custody ordeal it was a luxury I found myself longing for at times. Facing a situation where one’s back is against the wall, in a court environment overtly hostile towards those who represent themselves, as a pro se litigant is a place parents should venture with extreme caution. In my situation it came to a point where in keeping up with my own case at times I began to become curious and observe what I knew to be odd behavior and activity within the court and its players.

To see another teen’s similar experience with abuse by her mother view this page on YouTube:
Often custody of children is sought by one parent, not because they are the better parent but in order to obtain child support and to exercise control over the non custodial parent. During this video, the boy describes how his mother and her boyfriend assaulted him just because he wanted to wear his boots from his mother’s home to his father’s home.
