WHY THIS CLASS ACTION MATTERS
This case is bigger than family court. It is about restoring constitutional protections, ending exploitative practices, and ensuring that justice systems serve people, not profit.
Respondent: State Family Court Systems across the United States
Filing Jurisdiction: Federal Court with nationwide class scope
Legal Basis: Federal jurisdiction based on constitutional violations
Status: Evidence & Community Building Phase
Goal: Establish federally enforceable due process standards and transition family court oversight to accountable, community-based systems and challenging systemic harm, due process violations, and financial exploitation within family court systems.
BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
We will be seeking $1.34 Trillion in damages from this class action lawsuit. This class action covers violations in ANY and ALL Family Court Matters:
1. Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage
2. Child Custody and Visitation
3. Child Support
4. Paternity
5. Adoption
6. Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders
7. Guardianship
8. Juvenile Matters
VIOLATIONS AND HARM CAUSED TO THE PUBLIC
Claimants were harmed by unconstitutional orders issued by the Family Court. Claimants were subjected to inhumane treatment during their Family Court appearance(s) including deprivation of rights, and including the following violations not limited to:
- Wrongful deaths by a warrant
- Wrongful deaths by suicide
- Wrongful deaths by homicide
- Defamation of character
- Privacy law
- Due process law
- Child safety law
- Equal protection laws
- Parental alienation

DAMAGES
Family courts manage over 2 million cases each year, which generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually from:
1. Filing fees for divorce, custody, and other family-related cases
2. Child support payments, which are often collected and distributed through the court system
3. Fees for mediation and other services provided by the court
According to the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), states collected approximately $32 billion on behalf of the 14.7 million children served by child support enforcement programs across the country during FY 2018

SETTLEMENT CLASS
The Settlement Class includes two groups:
Group A: Class Representatives
One or more plaintiffs who are suing on behalf of a large group of people. Group A will be active in the case and will need to provide evidence and testify in court. Group A will receive an equal share of the settlement award plus $25,000 for their time and effort spent with the investigation and prosecution of the case. We want to have at least 6 people in Group A.
Group B: Class Members
A large group of people who will not have an active role in the case or any participation in the courtroom. Group B will receive an equal share of the settlement award.
We are seeking participants from all 50 states, including:
Individuals who completed school but were not taught practical life or legal skills
Individuals burdened by student debt tied to ineffective education outcomes
Parents of children impacted by declining education standards
Current or former students affected by systemic failures
SETTLEMENT AWARD
We believe the Defendants may offer a settlement to avoid paying the full amount we are seeking. If a settlement is offered and accepted, the Court will certify the settlement award and the case will be closed.
If we go to trial and win, the judge has discretion to increase or decrease the award amount.
If the settlement award is $1.34 Trillion Dollars, each member of the Settlement Class will receive an equal share of 75%. This is an estimate and subject to change based on final case outcomes.
CLASS ADMINISTRATOR AND CLASS COUNSEL
Dr. Anelia Sutton is the Class Administrator, and Class Counsel is a team of legal advocates, researchers, paralegals, and attorneys. The Class Administrator will file to receive 25% of the settlement award to cover all class action expenses, including but not limited to:
