Healthcare in Sweden
Everyone in Sweden has equal access to health-care services. The Swedish health-care system is taxpayer-funded and largely decentralized. The system performs well in comparison with other countries at a similar level of development, with good medical results relative to investments and despite funding restrictions. Life expectancy in Sweden continues to rise. In 2008, it was [...]
Child Support Help for Parents Impacted by Layoffs
This is long time overdue but I guess it is better late than never. Hopefully, it will offer some help and assistance for non-custodial parents who struggle to get their child support modifications put in place due to layoffs and disabilities that prevent them from earning a living AND be able to make child support [...]
Dr. Phil: Forced to be a Deadbeat Dad.
On February 27, 2009, the show “Forced to be a Deadbeat Dad” on Dr. Phil aired. It is about time that someone tried to shine some light on the current family court issue, and the increase in “deadbeat dads” or rather “driven away dads” in the last 20 years since the implementation of the Bradley [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! We want to wish all of you out there a great and happy Valentine’s Day. We spent ours in the quiet corners of our home because our little baby girl was sick with a pretty bad cold. We all had a nice time though and Linn was a trooper trying to have [...]
Child Support: How much is too much?

The parenting values, benefits, laws, and morals are very different between the two countries. Lately, I have been focusing on the United States family court and issues; however, [...]

Iniquity of the Bradley amendment…
In recent years, I have noticed a court system that denies civil rights, due process, and equality when it comes to non-custodial parents (mostly fathers) in family court. Family court has become about winning a prize, namely the child(ren) of a marriage and to receive as much money as possible. Plaintiffs are encouraged to make [...]
