"You can have a public defender for murder..." βš–οΈ @ShawnLeeisme but a parent in family court can lose everything just trying to keep their child πŸ‘‡ ⚠️ 🚨 CRIMINAL COURT HAS CAPS. FAMILY COURT HAS NO CLEAR CEILING. 🚨 ⚠️ In Kansas, appointed attorney compensation for certain tried felony cases can be listed with caps like: β€’ $2,560 β€’ $3,200 β€’ $8,000 Now compare that to family court. In the Stand With Meg registry data, families have reported more than $228 million in attorney fees alone. Not GALs. Not therapists. Not evaluators. Not every court-ordered professional. Attorney fees alone. These are family-reported submissions - not court findings. But the contrast matters. Public systems know how to write caps, schedules, categories, and numbers. Family court parents are reporting something different: Bills that keep coming. Hearings that keep coming. Motions that keep coming. And parents running out of money before they run out of evidence. If attorney fees became part of the pressure in your family court case - mothers and fathers alike - your story belongs on the public record πŸ‘‡ standwithmeg.com Meg here. standwithmeg.com.

WAITβ€” you got that Court Actor too?? πŸ˜… If you've ever sat in a courtroom thinking "there is NO way I'm the only family this happened to" β€” you were right. You're not. I built something for us. It's called Connection Circles: a private, anonymous space where verified families can find the OTHER parents who reported the same judge, GAL, evaluator, or therapist you did. You pick a private handle β€” never your real name. The system quietly matches you into a room with families who survived the same courtroom. Names and emails stay hidden unless BOTH of you agree to share them. It's not legal advice. It's not emergency help. It's not a way to reach anyone on the other side of your case. It's something simpler and, honestly, something a lot of us have needed for a long time: People who already believe you. 🀍 Mothers and fathers both β€” come find your people. πŸ”— Join the circle: my.standwithmeg.com/connect β€” Meg Investigative journalist | standwithmeg.com #FamilyCourtCorruption #FamilyCourt #ProtectiveParents #CustodyBattle #ChildWelfare
