We The Parents - A film by Mike and Elizabeth McNeese

We The Parents
The family of American dreams: House. Significant other. Children. And with a single signature…or a single lie…it’s all gone. Life is turned upside down as possessions, rights, a roof over their head, and worst of all, children are stripped away as they head into the abyss of the Family Court System. This is the scenario for millions of separated parents in the U.S., not to mention the shocking number of children growing up without a father.
The parents in this film open their hearts to speak candidly about their experiences, how it feels to be a child-less parent, why the problems exist, and what they’re doing about it. At the heart of the problem is a Family Court System devised and unchanged since the 1950’s. Further, corruption is centralized and apparent with billions of dollars changing hands as child support orders are made, and parenting time and parenting rights are absolutely obliterated.
These parents are not without hope. A fight is underway to eliminate the money-making industrialization of family court, as well as fighting for the simple presumption of 50/50 equal shared parenting.
