To all the parents struggling with the system and the heartbreaks we have endured in an effort to have a relationship with our most valuable asset....our children. I pray of each and every one of you in these matters...... We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr January 9, 2014 Mixon Fruit January 10, 2014 Dear Governor Scott, It was a pleasure meeting you at the 75th anniversary luncheon at Mixon Fruit Farm yesterday in Manatee County. I am following up with this letter to confirm our conversation about three important items that need to be addressed in the upcoming months. FAMILY COURTS 1. Alimony Bill (SB 718) that you vetoed last summer needs to be revisited. The bill had passed the House 85-31, with members of both parties crossing over. The Senate approved it 29-11. Such an overwhelming majority of both the House and the Senate should be a wake-up call to the problems in the current family courts of this state. You stated that you could not support this legislation because it applies retroactively and thus tampers with the settled economic expectations of many Floridians who have experienced divorce,. In these economic times of uncertainty that holding someone accountable for monies he may have had in the past and because of economic shifts of income is unfair if his income drops or stops altogether. Also in that bill was retroactive shared parenting of a presumption of 50-50 custody as it is today. I cannot tell you how many single parents were counting on that bill to pass to have an equal share in their childrens lives and now see no hope in sight. 2. Florida Family Bar should have played no part in your decision to veto the bill. The division of the Florida Family Bar of the Florida Bar needs to be dismantled under its current policies and procedures. This goes for NOW as well. 3. Proposed solution…MALACHI’S LAW We believe that Parental Alienation or PAS deserves legislative changes. Although we are weary of the overbearing enormity of big government, the tears of our children whom God stores in a bottle and the blood of our forefathers who died for our constitution cries out for change in the form of Malachi’s Law. Please follow the link for a full explanation of Malachi’s Law. In short, we believe the severity of the damage inflicted on our helpless, vulnerable children justifies criminalizing Parental Alienation or PAS to a minimum third degree felony with mandatory prison time. Malachi’s Bill is citizen’s answer to unresponsive, corrupt family courts: The bill will: 1. Design a “three strikes” for custodial parents who intend to subvert visitation with the non custodial parent and the child. 2. Visitation exchanges will occur at a location in the local police department. Each parent will identify themselves using a fingerprint scanner. Name, date will be recorded into a database. 3. Strike one. Custodial or non custodial parent does not show for the visitation exchange. 4. Strike two. Custodial parent does not show up for the visitation exchange. Child support obligations for the non custodial parent are relieved that month, and will resume the following month. 5. Strike three. Custodial parent does not show up for the visitation exchange, triggering a third degree felony for T.I.C.K – Tortious Interference Child Kidnapping. The State Attorney or Prosecutor will file charges on the custodial parent for T.I.C.K. 6. Exceptions will be made as necessary for health emergencies. 7. Immunity for State Attorneys, Attorneys and Judges will be removed if those parties fail to enforce T.I.C.K. Complaints for violations by any party including Judges and attorneys will be maintained in the T.I.C.K database, available as public information for no charge. 8. Non custodial parents who do not appear for parenting time at the exchange will trigger a 50% increase in child support for that month, since the burden of support will be on the custodial parent. 4. JURY TRIALS would benefit everybody. Current family courts are controlled by the judge through the entire process. Add to that high conflict attorneys with a winner take all attitude is never in the best interest of the child. The framers of the Constitution held to the belief that the right to trial by jury was essential to our system of justice. In fact, the right to trial by jury in civil case is guaranteed to all citizens by the Bill of Rights particularly the seventh amendment. In closing, the current situation within the family courts needs to be addressed and improvements made. When we put a dollar amount on the price of our childrens head we have lost all sense of righteousness and common good within the system that is to protect those rights and that has not under the current policies and procedures of this state. Thank you for your time and consideration in this all important matter. ________________________ Glen Gibellina whydadsmatter@yahoo Sarasota, FL. 34243 I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution Thomas Jefferson divorcecorp/ Photo: To all the parents struggling with the system and the heartbreaks we have endured in an effort to have a relationship with our most valuable asset....our children.
