Please share this post with anyone interested in filing the lawsuit or spreading the word with MSM, independent, or social media.
First, to be clear, these lawsuits are not an end in and of themselves. Hopefully they will help women who have active cases, but there is no guarantee.
They serve to legally and culturally establish that discrimination is the cause of women losing custody and are meant to be a springboard for demanding the implementation of a new system where judges do not have the power to discriminate.
WHERE TO FILE
In the U.S., the lawsuit must be filed state by state, as child custody is always under state jurisdiction.
In other countries, custody may be under state or federal jurisdiction, so check with an attorney.
Our Coalition has mothers in every state and country who have expressed interest in joining a lawsuit. So we have a base of women from which to file just about anywhere.
WHAT TO DO
If you would like to file in your state/country, you need to find a (preferably) female attorney who will file the Complaint pro bono.
Then have her contact Cindy Dumas (Women’s Coalition’s Executive Director) at cindydumas@womenscoalition.org. We will work together to ensure the lawsuit stays true to purpose.
EQUAL PROTECTION CLAIM
Our lawsuit is exclusively about women’s right to not be discriminated against in child custody cases. This translates legally into the right to “equal protection of the laws”.
Many western countries provide this equal protection right for women in some form.
