Economics:
Court of Deference
Family Court l Human Commodity Ventures
Over the past two decades, family courts have become entrenched in a profit-driven system that devalues the well-being of families, transforming parents and children into commodities for financial gain. These courts prioritize revenue generation over fair, affordable justice, with entities such as family courts, BCSS, DCYF, and YDC in New Hampshire working collectively to maximize billing, warehousing, and maintain bureaucratic control. This system grants extensive authority to legal service providers without accountability, operating under false legal pretenses that strip due process, undermine individual freedoms, and sustain a cycle of exploitation that harms families and drains public resources. From this system parents and children emerge as survivors.
This deference-based model results in approximately 20% of families falling into harmful financial pipelines, while the 80% majority reach amicable resolutions without stepping foot inside the courtroom. This is often referred to as the eighty percent are happy with the family court explanation—a classic redirection of focus—the stakeholder explanation. This New Hampshire family court business model exemplifies how policies under this system perpetuate injustice driven by profit motives, offering no real options of justice, relief or reform in two decades. To address these issues, efforts must focus on dismantling, wasteful spending, ending exploitative billing practices, and restoring a fair, transparent justice system that prioritizes families' well-being over business model courts and bureaucratic profits.
Priority Focus
1. Prevent Exploitation of Separating Couples
Each year, thousands of families in New Hampshire—around 20%—are funneled into harmful family court related financial pipelines, with a profit-driven system void of integrity and using tactics to target families across all income levels, seeking to create an absent parent on paper and forcing families into services—even when they cannot qualify and do not want or need any HHS or other assistance.
Solution: Reform the family court system by abolishing tribunals, implementing transparent, law-based assessments that ensure due process and protect family well-being and privacy rights. Support this with an independent oversight body to monitor eligibility for HHS and Title IV services, and include mediation options to resolve cases out of court, aligning with the current 80% settlement trend. HB652 does this intuitively.
2. Financial Projections based on Family Investigation
Over the past two decades, family courts have prioritized financial gains over fairness, relying on deference, discovery and computations that lead to unlimited billing, depletion of family rights, and harm to families from all income levels and backgrounds.
Solution: Publicly Accessible Audits (Yearly and Unannounced) to challenge the 20 year absence. Establish guidelines and oversight to limit contractor powers, cap fees, ensure billing transparency, and create an independent review commission with enforcement options. The purpose is to protect families from financial harm and ensure equitable, family-centered court decisions with full right of appeal.
3. Parents and Children as Commodities
Court systems, contracts, and cooperative agreements enable BCSS, DCYF, and YDC, to prioritize profit, commodifying parents and children without their knowledge. Lacking in accountability, undermining due process, and operating opaquely, in underregulated processes. Serious issues arise from contractors and service providers manipulating cases to meet federal funding criteria, prioritizing profit and system relevance.
Solution: Mandate public reporting and establish both citizen-centered and government oversight of agencies like BCSS, DCYF, and YDC to ensure transparency, accountability, and family-focused services over profits. End family case warehousing and profit-driven practices in the enterprise system and court contracts—restore constitutional protections.
4. Family Legal Service Providers Profiteers
The current system grants unchecked control to legal service providers, turning families into commodities, and relies on false legal pretenses that strip rights artificially while enriching bureaucrats and contractors at families’ expense. Family legal service providers participate in family court incentivized by offered immunity.
Solution: Establish strict oversight and enforce transparency in legal services to protect family rights, prevent commodification, and ensure justice over profit—eliminate the need for provider immunity.
5. Administrative Family Court Tribunal
These tribunals lack due process and act under the color of law. About 80% of families settle without ever going to court. 20% engage with the system but the practices and policies cause unjust harm under the guise of authority, with no effective options for relief, driven by profit and convenience over children and parents rights and freedoms.
Solution: Create accessible, fair dispute resolution options like mediation to offer our families alternatives outside of the tribunal court, and reform policies to prevent unjust harm driven by profit, ease and convenience, ensuring justice and citizens' rights are prioritized. HB652 to the rescue.
6. Taxpayer Funded Restitution
Reform is overdue and needed to reduce wasteful spending, end exploitative practices, and restore fair, transparent justice focused on families’ well-being, while acknowledging that taxpayers fund restitution programs and federal assistance linked to this system.
Solution: Cut wasteful spending and abusive billing practices to promote fair, transparent justice centered on family well-being. Establish accountability measures to prevent victimization, ensure restitution funds are used appropriately, and monitor federal funds to avoid misconduct. Prevent taxpayers funds from paying restitution of state criminal and civil cases by stopping the accumulation of victims. HB652 abolish the administrative family courts.
