* Law: Many states have laws presuming joint custody (50/50) is in the best interest of the child.
* RICO Violation: Judges consistently rule against joint custody without valid reasoning, ensuring one parent (usually the father) becomes the non-custodial parent and is forced to pay child support.
* Financial Gain: The state then receives double the federal funding for each child support case where one parent pays the other.

===== - How It Works: - A parent who wants to represent themselves (pro se) is told it is not allowed or that they must hire a court-approved lawyer. - Only certain attorneys—those with ties to the court—are approved to represent parents. - These attorneys charge high fees, effectively extorting parents just for a chance to argue for custody. =====
* RICO Violation: This is a form of extortion and obstruction of justice because it forces parents to pay into a closed legal system that is designed to rule against them.

===== - How It Works: - Courts appoint biased psychologists, social workers, or evaluators to determine custody. - These professionals are paid by the courts and are financially motivated to rule in favor of the system that keeps one parent paying. - Reports are falsified or exaggerated to justify the denial of custody. =====
* RICO Violation: This constitutes fraud and obstruction of justice, as false reports are used to deny parental rights and maximize state profits.

===== - How It Works: - CPS (Child Protective Services) removes children from parents based on false allegations. - Children are placed with foster families or one parent, increasing the amount of Title IV-D child support payments. - Parents are forced to hire expensive attorneys to fight CPS, benefiting court insiders. =====
* RICO Violation: This is a criminal enterprise that profits off false removals and court-ordered child support, making it extortion and fraud under RICO.
