Royce: If you are feeling there is something wrong with our Family Courts (especially across the nation), there is. Child Support and alimony is based on Soviet Family Law (now Russian Family Law). Soviet Family law has been modified since 1917, 1944, 1969, and became Russian Family law after the Soviet Union collapsed. The laws never changed. Sweden adopted their support laws. As you know, Sweden is a socialist state (socialist as far as social issues, not so much the economy which is more capitalistic). Irwin Finklestein of the University of Wisconsin adopted the suite of child support laws from Sweden and incorporated them into what is known today as the U.S. Child Support Enforcement Act. After several permutations of the law, the current Child Support Enforcement Act, Title 42 U.S.C. Sections 651-669 are an incentive for states to award, collect and enforce child support. According to 42 USC Section 658a (called the Child Support Enforcement Incentive to the States), the federal government funds the states to the tune of between 66 cents on every dollar awarded, collect and/or enforced up to $3.50/every dollar awarded, collected and/or enforced. In Elkhart County, Indiana, the prosecutor's office in one particular year (I have the article) collected $21.00 for every dollar awarded, collected and enforced.

After the federal child support enforcement reforms took effect in the early 1980s, approximately one third of the states are actually using a simple Percentage-of-Income formula. The method is so obviously over-simplified and unrelated to sincere policy modeling efforts however that it is often left out of general discussion. It has its origin in old Soviet Russian law and there is no reasonable argument for using it in the United States. A slightly reformed version still exists as Article 81 of The Russian Family Code, adopted in 1995. Its use was promoted in the United States by Irwin Garfinkel as part of a suite of Soviet Russian policy that has become known to us as "The Wisconsin Model". The Wisconsin Model then became a center-piece for the national federal child support and welfare reform movement. We have turned the family courts into socialist (Nazi=Nationalist Socialist) administrative courts (Nazis were the most efficient administrative operation in history). This is why you cannot get fair hearings, and if you do, they are nothing more than "show trial" "pay-or-stay" hearings. They are unconstitutional because it cannot be determined if you're being held for civil or criminal contempt, direct or indirect contempt.

How is it that the civil divorce/custody/child support case was converted into a criminal support enforcement case, yet you were never read your Miranda Rights at the inception of the first child support hearing and order, you were never advised of your rights to keep quiet, rights to not have to produce any financial documentation, right to an attorney for your defense, right to be indicted, right to trial by jury????? According to much federal and state caselaw you cannot be arrested and incarcerated for a CIVIL matter because FOURTH AMENDMENT PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST can ONLY EXIST in CRIMINAL matters!!!! You are then entitled to full criminal Due Process--which you almost never get in a civil child support debt case.

It's imprisonment for debt in violation of every state constitutional prohibition against it, and violates the 13th Amendment (Anti-Slavery Amendment), and 18 U.S.C. Section 1581 (Prohibition Against Peonage) and 18 U.S.C. Section 1589 (Prohibition Against Forced Labor).

One cannot be forced to pay child support if they are not seeing their children, either. Many states address this. In fact, New York State has a specific statute, Domestic Relations Law, DRL Section 241 that states if visitation/parenting rights are interfered with egregiously, child support and/or alimony can be suspended or terminated. This is supported by a New York Appellate decision, Matter of Coull. This should be nationwide. Many will say that cutting off child support will hurt the child(ren). No. Because cutting the child(ren) off from one parent is worse and constitutes emotional, psychological and physical abuse, as well as PARENTAL ALIENATION.

Hope this helps. I've been a divorce reform, children's rights and fathers' rights advocate, and family court and constitutional law paralegal for over 30 years.

Royce, America needs Men exactly like you. No matter what race, Men of every means have been devalued in this Country. I believe, as I know you do, that destroying the family is there ultimate goal. You articulate the problem so well. I hope everyone takes the time to read your whole letter. It truly touched me, and I feel the pain at what this court system has put you through. I am going to pray for you right now and I will be looking for updates on your situation. God knows all. And He knows your heart. I am so thankful the Our Father in Heaven is still on the throne and has power over everything. Those who have wronged you and continue to wrong you will answer for that. I couldn't go through life without believing that what goes around comes around. You may never get to see it, but I promise you their day will come. Imagine how miserable you have to be in your own life, to have no thoughts about destroying another man's life. 🤬🙏💯

🍀 Luckily you are a man of means. Think of all the fathers who are not that are run through the meat grinder of family court. Your story is infuriating. I wish you all the best in your run against Ilan Omar, she is absolutely horrible. Try to make your ….to be continued a bit shorter ( just a gentle suggestion.)

Royce, are you familiar with Megan Fox, who writes for PJ Media? She’s done exceptional work exposing the criminality of family courts. I feel sure she would be interested in your story. I hopeyou contact her, and Godspeed in your fight.

I can relate to what Royce White is talking about. I worked as a medical doctor in my country for 21yrs and married for 17yrs. My wife never worked for the 17yrs we were married. As a Christian husband I wanted a better life for my family and so i sold everything I had, combined it with my savings relocated family to a Western country. We had not spent up to a year when my wife told one of her friends that she will hand me over to the police to jail. She is trying to provoke me so she can find a reason to evoke the power of the state and court to put me behind bar.

Subtle feminist ideologies have infiltrated the court system and sadly, even the church. The church and the court are pushing family destructive practices. Men have been subjugated. If a woman cannot define who a 'woman' is, that woman has an ulterior motive. Somebody need to tell her the word woman is an anthropological terminology and not merely a biological world. You expect the feminist movement to move against her but no, she is promoting their agenda. Let a man give such a response and watch how he will destroyed.

Please let someone start a gosendgo fund raising account to support Royce White to avoid being sentenced to jail.

I will donate.

I love hearing your story and I really can feel your pain. Many loving fathers all across the country are exactly where you are. I have been afraid of doing the work I really want to do because there are slow down times where I might not be able to work as a construction electrician. I did have an electrical masters license I worked hard to get. Now I work shift work just to have a stable income to make sure I do not miss a child support payment and can make sure I have time to see my daughter. I say that because the system might try to terminate your rights if you get in a position of missing opportunities to be the parent you already are. Or increase financial burden. I was treated like a criminal in the court system, and it was odd because I could not come up with a reason for being treated this way. I took care of my family I paid the bills, heck daughters mom didn't even have a job for 2 1/2 years before she left. We were doing good. But now because I am responsible I pay huge child support that I'm happy to pay though. Im used to it and only have 2 1/2 years left till I'm done. But I can say this experience has been humbling and I have developed lots of character! And I have been fortunate enough to keep family together through it all. But the love for your children is important! Both parents are important for child development. Our daughter is flourishing because she has maintained both her parents in her life despite the burden the court system imposes on us. I'm also fortunate to have pretty decent communication with her mom as well in raising her up. I'm in Nebraska and they are hard on fathers also. I have remarried and am supporting wife's 2 kids 100% her youngest has never met his father. She did her divorce and intentionally wrote off that father has no support obligation to protect her children from abuse. She's the one who should be getting child support!!! Bad men go free, responsible loving dads get drug through the mud. I hope you get elected Royce. This system needs work!

I am so very sorry for the intentional anguish that this EVIL individual and yet another CORRUPT institution have inflicted upon you and your family. This is a pattern by the "elites" in power who are actively trying to destroy our country and anything that is good.

They hate God and His Word. I believe that the Lord is using you mightily to proclaim His Word and to fight against the evil and tyranny of the radical Left. Keep your shoulder to the wheel and know that you are loved and supported by God fearing, freedom loving Americans. Courage is contagious and you are an inspiration. God bless you Royce.

The term "Family Court" is euphemistic at best. At least show a modicum of truthfulness and call it "Family Destruction Court". Lurking behind a veil of bureaucratic inhumanity, the soulless "apparatus" dismembers families like a runaway wood chipper. Having drunk the koolaid of anti-male feminism, their faux-rule of law machine delivers two main products...legal fees/salaries and misery. May they burn in Hell.

I'm reminded of the scripture that's in Luke 12:2-3, that speaks of "what's done in the dark, shall be brought to the light". Continue to stand brother, because you have been chosen for such a time as this. I will continue to pray that the corrupt forces of power shall not prevail against you. Count me in to donate when your go-send-go account is set up. This is their attempt (the political Establishment) to never let you enter the halls of Congress, where you would have an even bigger platform in which you will expose all of their corruption. May the Lord continue to cover you and protect you!

“ Has our legal system become a gangster-like shake down institution of political ideology and immorality?”

The answer is, yes!

Another system “judicial” of the federal and state vampires that have codified their evil. Their primary purpose is to take away as much as they can from as many people as they can to insure their own existence.

As Im sure you know the evil we all see every waking moment, day after day around the world is becoming more and more apparent to more and more people around the world!

Now you throw your hat into a political system where the evil is codified, and then they tell the people it is for the greater good! Good luck with choosing that path. I’m not sure it’s the right one for you!

Your a being that wears his heart out in the open and I appreciate that about you! Be aware that the vampires will love to rip your heart out and bleed you dry! Or corrupt you with what, who knows?

Keep your friends close and know that your enemies are pure evil.

When god dealt with evil on this scale he flooded the earth, and was done with it. We are the second coming, and should understand you do not comprise with evil. You end it, destroy it, obliterate it off the face of the earth. No more compromise, the lesser of two evils will ultimately destroy us all.

Royce, Your assessment is so accurate. My husband went through this 10 years ago, and to say the experience was eye opening is an understatement. As soon as you make it through the meatgrinder, you tend to want to get as far away from it as possible out of self preservation instinct. As with everything on the Left, it sounds like a good thing. We are supporting your voice! I pray you keep speaking out and have plans to go for elected office no matter what the outcome this Nov. We need you Lions!

In addition, pursuant to Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 129 S.Ct. 2252, 556 U.S. 868 (2009), State Family Court Judges and other State Court Judges, including Support Magistrates, have acted in the absence of all jurisdiction and authority (and waived sovereign immunity) because they obtain Federal funding, at a 66 cents to one dollar on the dollar rate of gross child support/alimony collections and enforcement pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§657 and 658a (Federal Child Support Reimbursement to the States), and put said Federal funding into the State General Treasury. Said funding is directed to balance the state employee pension plan and state judicial pension plan first. This constitutes and unconstitutional conflict-of-interest, because judges’ pensions are directly and indirectly linked to the amount of support collected and enforced upon. This amount also includes Uncollected Child Support Accounts, which is unconstitutional.

The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and each state's judicial conduct rules requires immediate recusal because all State Support Magistrates, Family Court Judges, along with all Superior Court and Supreme Court Justices, have a “direct, personal, substantial, pecuniary interest” in the outcome of ALL child support and/or alimony collections and enforcement cases. See Caperton v. Massey, 129 S.Ct. at 2259-2262. (a)

The Due Process Clause incorporated the common-law rule requiring recusal when a judge has "a direct, personal, substantial, pecuniary interest" in a case, Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 522-523, 47 S.Ct. 437, 71 L.Ed. 749 (1927); Ward v. Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57, 59-60 (1972); Gibson v. Berryhill, 411 U.S. 564, 579 (1973), but this Court has also identified additional instances which, as an objective matter, require recusal where "the probability of actual bias on the part of the judge or decisionmaker is too high to be constitutionally tolerable," Withrow v. Larkin, 421 U.S. 35, 47, 95 S.Ct. 1456, 43 L.Ed.2d 712.

Where a judge has a pecuniary interest in the case and has determined in an earlier proceeding whether criminal contempt charges should be brought and then proceeded to try and convict the litigant, it requires recusal (for pecuniary conflict-of-interest). In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 75 S.Ct. 623, 99 L.Ed. 942. Finding that "no man can be a judge in his own case," and "no man is permitted to try cases where he has an interest in the outcome," id., at 136, 75 S.Ct. 623, the Court noted that the circumstances of the case and the prior relationship required recusal.

Said Federal Child Support Reimbursement funding to the State of New York has “no strings attached”. Said funding is used to supplement and balance State Employee Pension Funds. New York Supreme Court Justices and Family Court Judges, law enforcement, and other court employees are recipients of said State Employee Pension Funds. State Justices and Judges have a pecuniary interest in the outcome of child support cases—the more they award, collect and enforce, the more money that is delivered into the State Employee Pension Funds. This constitutes an unconstitutional conflict of interest requiring judicial disqualification under established law from the United States Supreme Court in Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510 (1927) and Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Company, 556 U.S. 868, 129 S.Ct. 2252 (2009).

130. The most serious concerns with regard to the contempt power pertain to the essentially unlimited power granted to a judge and the grave danger of bias stemming from the court's conflicted role in vindicating its own authority. See, 28 U.S.C. 144 & 455; Liljerberg v. Health Services Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 108 S.Ct. 2194, 100 L.Ed.2d 855 (1988); Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Lavoie, 475 U.S. 813, 820-25, 106 S.Ct. 1580, 89 L.Ed.2d 823 (1986); Gibson v. Berryhill, 411 U.S. 564, 579, 93 S.Ct. 1689, 1698, 36 L.Ed.2d 488 (1973); Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57, 59-60 (1972); In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136, 75 S.Ct. 623, 625, 99 L.Ed.2d 942 (1955); Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 522-23 (1927). A judge offended by perceived flouting of his authority or harboring a jaundiced view of a party against whom he has already ruled on the underlying merits is no less likely to resolve factual issues in a biased manner simply because he chooses ultimately to impose a sanction designed to coerce obedience rather than expressly to punish. In pursuit of this end, various situations have been identified in which experience teaches that the probability of actual bias on the part of the judge or decisionmaker is too high to be constitutionally tolerable. Among these cases are those in which the adjudicator has (1) a pecuniary interest in the outcome, Gibson v. Berryhill, supra, and Ward v. Monroeville, supra, and (2) in which he has been the target of personal abuse or criticism from the party before him. Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488, 501-503 (1974).
