Lack of counsel of choice can be conceivably even worse than no counsel at all, or having to accept counsel beholden to one's adversary. Burgett v Texas, 389 US 109
Permanent termination of parental rights has been described as "the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case." In re Smith (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 1, 16, 601 N.E.2d 45,54. Therefore, parents "must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows." WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING
Disclaimer:
Nothing here is to be construed as "Legal Advice". We are NOT lawyers, and we are not pretending to be.
(Except for AFRA's Lawyer Members, who most certainly are NOT "pretenders")
We try very hard to make sure that the information on this page and links to information is accurate and up-to-date. This information is presented FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, and not actual Legal Advice, which you would expect to receive from a real LAWYER who hates CPS with every fiber of his being, spends the time necessary to become familiar with your case, supplies Competent Counsel, and knows how to present a VIGOROUS and EFFECTIVE DEFENSE against CPS' insane wild allegatons and Character Assassinations, and does NOT try to talk you into a Plea Bargain when you are innocent.
"Lack of counsel of choice can be conceivably even worse than no counsel at all, or of having to accept counsel beholden to one's adversary." Burgett v. Texas, 389 US 109We supply information for free. No Family Rights Advocate under the AFRA umbrella charges you for their help. You may feel free to help your advocate financially, but you are NOT required to do so.
Some of AFRA's member advocacies may have 501 (c)(3) Non-profit Tax Free status Many do not, and must not represent that donations to them are "Tax Free".
American Family Rights association does NOT have a 501(c)(3)
We don't want one because we refuse to have our political activities hand-cuffed:
IRS Charities & Non-Profits Page
"An IRC Section 501(c)(3) organization may not engage in carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities."
We do NOT seek donations or membership fees of any kind. If you want to help Families, we recommend you support your local advocacy, or "pay it forward" by helping others in your locale.
Otherwise, if you want to help, we recommend you to print large quantities of our brochures and distribute them widely to prepare young families for "The Visit"
