Across the country, family court systems face growing challenges in protecting the rights and safety of families, especially in cases involving domestic abuse. While these systems are designed to act in the best interests of children, they are often overburdened and under-resourced, which can leave survivors without the protection they need.
 
Mommy’s Heart, Inc. (EIN #87-4833078) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to safeguarding child safety and defending the constitutional rights of fit parents. We offer free, trauma-informed legal, mental health, and advocacy services to families who have survived abuse and are now navigating legal retaliation in the form of high-conflict litigation, sometimes referred to as “lawfare.” Our services support the due process rights of vulnerable parents and children while promoting informed, balanced outcomes in family court. We help ensure that no parent fears losing a child for seeking protection from abuse.
 

In addition to direct services, Mommy’s Heart advocates for family court reforms that promote transparency, uphold constitutional protections, and ensure the system functions as it was intended to protect the best interests of children and families. We believe that a just legal process should be accessible to all, regardless of financial means, and that parents should never be punished for doing the right thing.

Many families have reported being caught in a never-ending cycle of court hearings and legal fees. This has led to countless innocent children being separated from their loving parents and placed in harmful situations, all for the sake of financial gain.

 

Please read and support our proposed legislation, The Mommy’s Heart Fair and Just Family Court Reform Act for the Protection of Children and Equitable Legal Processes. It was introduced by Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright to the Judiciary Committee as A01154. Senator Cordell Cleare is sponsoring our bill in the Senate S6825, along with Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. and Senator Ramos. Our legislation is meant to deter abusers, protect survivors, and hinder lawfare.

 

Please write to your NY local Senator or Assembly Member and ask them to co-sponsor our bill. Thank you to NYS Senator Ramos, NYS Assembly Member Meeks, NYS Assembly Member Tapia, and NYS Senator Addabbo for joining Assembly Member Seawright and Senator Cleare as co-sponsors!
