Prevent Involuntary Parental Absence (PIPA)

The petition that I have created covers the rarely discussed area of trauma informed judicial practice. The topic is very personal to me, but will benefit many. At the heart of the matter is intimate partner violence, coercive control and parental alienation. The focus of the call-to-action is to influence change on a systemic level. Join me in taking the first steps in initiating mandatory procedures to be followed in an effort to facilitate transparency and ensure that the appropriate checks and balances have been employed. The following actions should be followed with the goal to prevent involuntary parental absence: (1) Justification statements authored by the presiding Judge/magistrate must be entered into the record of the case file when violating an active custody order. (2) Justification statements authored by the presiding Judge/magistrate must be entered into the record of the case file when custody of the child is changed without a filed motion to amend the custody agreement ruling. (3) A pre-finalization period prior to re-homing a child and changing the residential custodial parent of a child.
