NPO: Join in the Suit Against New Jersey Family Courts

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the next few weeks, Clark Legal Services will be filing suit against New Jersey asking for an injunction to prevent New Jersey from taking custody away from a parent without a prompt and full hearing — which is what is required by the United States Constitution. A "full" hearing means the right to present evidence, cross examine accusers and be represented by counsel if one chooses. The federal courts have not said precisely how soon is "prompt," but essentially it means a soon as possible and certainly a matter of days, not weeks or months.

New Jersey is not giving parents a prompt and full hearing when stripping one parent of custody and awarding custody to another. We currently have one plaintiff who was deprived of custody for over a year without a full hearing. He will be filing suit on behalf of himself and all similarly situated New Jersey parents. We would like to add additional plaintiffs to the suit and have asked National Parents Organization to reach out to its members to join in this suit.'
