(Blog Navigation Links):
. . . . . Current Posts, Most Recent on Top** This Page case-sensitive short-link ends "PsBXH-8v2"). . . . .
**Below Several "Sticky" (pinned) posts, including Tables of Contents. {{separated by year}}. Generally, and to skip the "Sticky Posts" at top, for the most recent posts (access individually) scroll down on this sidebar to 'The Ten Most Recent 'Let's Get Honest' Posts' widget .
(The above link is to the blog's static 'Current Posts' Page where all posts (Sticky ones on top) display. As a Page (not "Post") its case-sensitive short-link ends 'PsBXH-8v2'). Home page (Static Front page, see next box) explains the shortlink protocols I also incorporate into posts (with 868 posts, you might too!) for internal cross-referencing AND if you wish to link to a specific post or page, pls. also always include its date posted. The "Archives " (Calendar widget) function also helpful for browsing by month back to 2009 or if you know which month.
This blog's default, static Front Page, LGH Top Picks, Themes ... and Why My Gravatar is a Blue Jay taking Flight. (short-link ends "PsBXH-8o0" or just type in 'FamilyCourtMatters.org') is long, detailed, with visuals on current topics and orgs. It identifies ongoing "Thought-Leadership," "Stakeholders" (sic) and holds many internal links to other pages or posts explaining certain topics, or even entities. It holds also the link to Current Posts near the top. Current posts are NOT posted below the Front Page but separately from it.
Page was partitioned, generating off-ramped, updated posts (Sept. 2019ff), and further shortened (by adding a subsidiary page) Dec. 26, 2019) but still displays the level of drill-downs and explains the WHY of my diff''t approach as an investigative blogger.

- DV LEAP’s “Leap of Faith” Demanded of Moms From “Day 1” Didn’t Then, and (With its Founder’s Other Newer Projects) Still Doesn’t Pass This Mother’s and DV/FamilyCourt Survivor’s Basic Smell Test [Aug. 25, 2022, Publ. Oct. 16, 2022]. October 16, 2022Disclaimer: This is my opinion and not legal or any form of consultant advice. I am so fed up, currently, with attempting to complete proper posts (while managing living without a permanent address, week by week), I’m going to just publish the whole post “as-is.” That probably represents later embarassment and excising about a third […]
- To Reiterate, ‘Read My Lips: Read Their (and USA’s) AUDITED Financial Statements: Follow The Funding, Notice Data Base Degradation/Consolidations, Too!’ (Another @LetUsGetHonest Formerly Pinned Tweet) [Post Begun Sept. 25, 2022]. September 27, 2022This is one of my shortest posts ever — its purpose is just to move a pinned Twitter thread (and while at it, the previous one) from my profile there to a post on this blog. I said a few things in context, but not nearly as much as usual! Total length on publication only […]
- Historic Day Today, and Week, Last Week, Globally: Perhaps Now, Cross-Atlantic, Pan-Pacific, We Can Talk Public vs. Private Entity (Accounting For Their Respective) Assets and Liabilities? [Sept. 11, 2022]. September 12, 2022Post-publication update Thu. Sept. 15, 2022. Sept. 17, I also added some thoughts just before the final quote (which is from my own Sept. 18, 2018 post on housing “community development” issues and “replicable purpose-built models” of the same). Within the hour, I then realized these thought (my writing) was affected by my current stress […]
- Accounting Literacy (Recognizing RICO and other Deceptive Practices) Is THE Language to Master and of the “Masters”; Cause-Based PolicySpeak is Deliberately Dissociative and Dysfunctional [Most Written Jan., 2020, Current Commentary, Sept. 10, 2022]. September 10, 2022Quickly written the first time, quickly updated the second. Embeds two recent and one pinned Twitter thread. References a lookup I did recently based on a phrase circulating on-line. I applied some of basic “find-the-entity” principles and, as often happens, uncovered more nonprofits involved than at first meet the eye. This example was Milwaukee (City […] […]
- Are (my) Slow-Roasted, Carefully Crafted Posts an Anachronism? Probably, But Not This One. Meanwhile, @OFAHMRF, Where Are The Biennial HMRF Grantee Conferences Archives? [Publ. Aug. 11, 2022.] August 11, 2022(I will be revising this post sometime later today or tomorrow, FYI) Just this morning, I saw an alert to a forum taking place this evening. I have that image on my cellphone, but looking to find it from my laptop (the two communicate, but it’s a little complicated to retrieve photos or images from […]

- More Ohio, Ah, ‘Evolving Situations,’ Like Capital University Law School’s NCALP, I mean FYouthLaw (to end Aug. 2022) with its Ohio IPV and The Wexner-Epstein (Yes, THAT Epstein) Connex. [Publ. May 29, 2022] May 29, 2022This post started as a foreword, took on a life of its own for something which was on my mind, I beg readers to consider deeply as significant in what direction domestic violence advocacy is going, who’s running, and whether or not we really should allow Commonwealth country practices to be brought in the back […]
- So, You Want Us To Speak Out Against Ohio HB 508, Maybe Listen for an HOUR, But No Time to LINK to it Up Front? [Publ. May 27, 2022]. May 27, 2022This is an opportunistic post. I exploited the opportunity to leverage another’s single, recent Tweet to make a few points and share some relevant information others that Tweet withheld. “You” in post title references who sent that quoted (and embed, with my responses) below. I’ll repeat the title link and surrounding text below the “Foreword” added […] […]

May 18, 2022ABOUT THIS LONG and LONG-DELAYED POST (You may want to read first!): “WTF?” “What’s going on here?“ This is what’s going on: I’m in housing transition: I’ll be out of this place within the next 24 hours, literally, and still not exactly sure how to reach the next (safe place) destination about one state away.

This Absolutely Uncommon Analysis shouldn't be!
What I do here: I expose the Systems Design, and the Designers, so Y.O.U. can Show Others, and to notify those playing certain games, "you've been flagged." Heard of "disruptive technologies?" Disruptive innovations? Despite the blog's appearance, I know what I'm doing! You're looking at long-term leverage, in the hands of the "non-experts," in the public interest, not public funded propaganda to drive business to private pockets. Hence, I'm not afraid to ask: The formula for this public/private business model isn't really that complex, but the concept itself was just so devious, insidious, parasitic, grandiose, and by now, so baked into the economic, institutional infrastructure, people either don't notice, or, in a common, cowardly, but all too human response they see, and just start denying, or looking for nicer explanations of an ugly truth -- where it's heading. For lack of nicer, but still honest terms, it's heading towards yet more slavery (and tolerating it) and genocide (and tolerating it). [[2019 comments: and the ability to drive the U.S., in particular, into even more, bigger, and more costly/dangerous wars, discrediting us (further) internationally. But I wrote this sidebar many years ago..]] As a woman, mother, a family court and domestic violence survivor [yes, he was a hitter, and more], who has already 'faced the music' in more ways than I can count, to the best of my ability, I do not do "denial." I also ask the public, what's left of it, to just not go down that Denial Road, and with it lose more of their innate humanity, perception, and ethics. There is another way out, one with a conscience: Really want system change? Make up your mind to understand government financing -- change yourself first. Find and read your local "CAFR" (government's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports), a wonderful source of information, with flow chart, descriptions of component or blended government units it's reporting on, and reporting the balances in each fund -- ever heard of a "Balance Sheet"? Looking for this also reveals just how many governmental business entities ARE there? Find them. Read. Think about what you see. What does it mean? Governments tend to pool their investments, for example, "CALPERS" (essentially created ca. 1931) is the largest "public pension" investing platform around, or at least in the country. Getting started earlier sure helped, then adding players (subscribers) over time ALSO did. In 1985, add "CII" Council on Institutional Investors (members: in 31states and D.C.) (LA Times 1985 article on Calif. Politician (state treasurer, assembly speaker) Unruh whose idea it was for the Council so institutional funds could "flex their muscle"; and push for corporate governance reform. CII members now control $3 trillion of assets)-- my point being, government holdings are invested and when pooled like this, are major clout, but the average person never reads even a single government entity's annual financial reports to take a look. (I wasn't aware of them til 2012!) Governments not only invest their funds in business, they also by legislation, patenting, and protections, set them up to win, or lose. So, "know thy government" is a great place to start.

“Mother Says” — Words to the Wise for Women in Custody Challenges
with 5 comments
[Intro paragraphs — some of underlines below are hyperlinks. Publ. 12/27/2012; Rev. 2-19-2013, split in half 06-06-2013, putting Michigan Material in a separate post.]
NOTE: OVERALL THIS BLOG IS FOR BOTH GENDERS, AND TO THE WIDER PUBLIC WHO MAY NOT EVEN BE STRUNG OUT HANDLING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR SEXUAL ABUSE (OR SIMPLY FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION) CASES IN THE COURT.
Truth, however framed, is offensive, and my blog certainly will offend plenty. However, I am still more interested in systems, and perhaps the mentality of the people that designed them, tolerate them, staff them, and fund them. Society has to have some labels, and designations, to work as do systems. I think different personalities gravitate to certain portions of certain systems — but there are SOME systems which affect almost everyone. So like it or not, their damages have to be discussed; there is no other way to mitigate them.
Overall, it is an appeal for the public to wake up. To identify and find ways to quit financing institutions within America that undermine justice (as defined in terms of due process, representative government of ANY sort, and oppose over-centralization of power). Doing this requires identifying and letting go of significant myths on which the economy** — and from there, most social relationships (in fact, from which society) — is based.
