My Daddy Misses Me posters
While I think this is a good idea, I'd definitely check with a lawyer
first. I know that there could be problems when publishing personally identifiable information of a minor without parental consent. I assume the parental consent must come from a parent who is legally allowed to consent. You may need to limit your posters to those whose NCP has joint legal custody, I don't know.

One of the obstacles for a compatible list of "visitation violators" or "parenting time purloiners" is the threat of a lawsuit for libel or invasion of privacy, the things that interestingly enough the government immunizes itself from. Well, there are a couple of ways to prevent a lawsuit. The first is to only put up posters of people who have flagrantly violated a court order. This would have the advantage that it is backed up by a court document, and therefore, qualified immunity applies. The only thing that is bad with this, however, is that you would actually have to wait for the courts to make this finding, and we all know how slow it is when it comes to trivial issues like father's playing a role in their children's lives other than "cash fund". But libel law in the United States is rather generous in some other ways. For instance, if the statement is a true opinion, you cannot be sued for that. And a statement that says "My Daddy Misses Me" is just that. The mother certainly isn't a psychic, and there's no way she can make him testify against himself. So what I came up with is a set of fliers labeled "My Daddy Misses Me" that I'd love to distribute around or near the places propagating the deadbeat lists. I've put up a mockup at http://www.ncprevue.com/mydaddymissesme.pdf If anybody else has any ideas about this, or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Beverly |

Yes but I suspect consenting NCPs would get a quick schooling in just how little this means if CPs complained about their kids' pictures being put up in public (in a way that casts the family courts in a negative light). But you already know this. - Ron ^*^ |

I have a fairly good relationship with my ex, but if we were at loggerheads over this and I had to resort to this to enforce my rights, the last place I would let it be heard is in family court. At the most I demand a jury trial and let everything be heard by a court of my peers. And like Tom Martino says when somebody threatens to sue him, "discovery is a bitch". This I think would particularly hold up if you have an order of custody and/or visitation rights, which is what I initially said you should limit it to. Privacy is not a right to violate the law and get away with it. |
