Beginner's Guide to Family Law
For a loving parent, a child custody suit can be a time of terror. The most important thing in your life is at stake and it doesn’t take long to figure out that the system is rigged against you. This book provides simple straight forward and easy to understand ways to help ensure that your rights get protected. This is the starter guide for you to protect your rights.
Oath Breakers
Many state judges have excused their illegal actions by claiming that custody suits are civil suits between private parties and therefore there is no state action to be limited. This is a Big Fat Lie! Read this book and learn how to see through these lies.
Protecting Parent-Child Bonds
This book is designed to get our federal and state legislators focused on the issues and focused on solutions. This book is a call to action and an emphatic statement by parents and prospective parents that we expect our parental rights to be acknowledged and respected.
The Constitutional Collapse of the Texas Family Code
Comprehensive constitutional notice and legal proof deconstructing the Texas Family Code, showing that family court custody and child support orders between fit parents are unconstitutional nullities.
Sample Motions & Petitions to Win Child Custody
Trial motions, petition inserts, pre-trial pleadings, and post-trial objections crafted to force family courts to apply strict scrutiny, protect the record, and defeat unconstitutional shortcuts.
Ron and Sherry Palmer have created a comprehensive system that includes a number of sample motions to guide you and your attorney through winning child custody arguments in support of constitutional rights. These trial motions, pre-trial pleadings, and post-trial objections can be purchased individually or in our discounted core package.
These motions are a starting point, not final documents. Civil rights attorneys earn their living promoting and protecting your rights. While our sample motions are not a substitute for an attorney, they are designed to give your civil rights attorney a great head start and save you thousands of dollars in basic research and constitutional argument creation.
Your choice is simple: assert your rights or take what they give you.
Parental Rights Motions Package
There are many important arguments you need to get into the record. We have created a number of sample motions that give you solid examples of how you can make these arguments in your case. This package of our core motions provide procedural, substantive, and equal protection arguments in individual declaratory motions and then we demonstrate how those arguments can also be combined into a single framing motion.
Framing Motion
This motion is a culmination of our work to date. It succinctly and directly moves the court to protect your rights based on controlling precedent, cited in the motion, that the court cannot properly ignore. If you could present only one motion, this would be the one to present. This motion presents our most powerful arguments, the arguments with the most supporting precedent, and the easiest argument for you to present. The arguments raised here demand the highest level of rights protection available in any court and demonstrate that your court is required to apply this level of protection no matter what it may have done in the past.
Petition Insert
This is a sample document to demonstrate how we might use some of the materials from our book, to help make it easier for your attorney to understand.
Substantive Rights Motion
With this motion, you put your court on notice that you understand your substantive rights, that you expect the court to protect your substantive rights, and that if the court fails to protect your substantive rights you will appeal this fundamental error on the court’s part.
Equal Protection Motion
Family law courts seek to classify you as a different kind of parent with lesser rights simply because you divorce the other parent or you never marry the other parent. This is a violation of your equal protection rights because your rights as a parent are individual and independent of your martial status.
Procedural Rights Motion
Even when the court meets the substantive rights bar to infringe your parental rights, the court is duty bound to provide fundamentally fair proceedings. This sample motion addresses the specific requirements on the court to provide fundamentally fair proceedings. There are specific actions the court must take and there is a specific test the court must apply before the proceedings can be considered fair. Every case is different and this test must be applied to the specific facts of your case individually by the judge. Your judge is simply not allowed to say that the legislature performed this function in establishing the law because this is a judicial function where the outcome depends on the specific facts of your case. These rules absolutely apply in family law cases.
Pre-Trial Conference
Reduce costs. Narrow the issues. Focus your case. A pre-trial conference works to your benefit. This sample motion protects you and your child. It attacks the problem at its core.
GAL Removal Motion
If you are being hurt by a Guardian ad litem (GAL) and you want to get rid of them, you need the information in this sample motion. If you have an attorney, give them this sample motion and ask them to use the information in it to get rid of the Guardian ad litem for you.
In Limine Motion
A motion to block any testimony that should not be allowed to be used against you. This is standard practice in every other area of law. Why is your attorney taking risks with your child, wasting your time, and wasting your money. You can limit the testimony that can be presented.
Child Support Defense Motion
A Motion to protect you from going to jail for contempt in an enforcement hearing where you are being punished for not paying an amount of child support, alimony, or spousal support that you cannot afford to pay.

A Little More About Our Services & Principles
Click any topic below to expand our constitutional analysis, statutory limits, and litigation rules of engagement.
We do NOT in any manner promote sovereign citizen concepts or language as they are generally argued. We support what the United States Supreme Court has held many times over regarding ultimate sovereignty residing with the people, NOT the government. We do NOT agree with the unsupportable leaps of logic used by sovereign citizen advocates. We advise you NOT to use sovereign citizen language in your legal filings because judges will dismiss your arguments out of hand if they believe them to be sovereign citizen arguments.
Everything we provide is fully supported by federal law and applies accepted constitutional principles. If we leap, we note that we are leaping and we justify the leap.
In the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers asserted 26 specific wrongs committed by King George. Any government established by free people can only possess powers that are the people's to give. The free people can NOT convey any "sovereign can do no wrong" authority to government that the people themselves lack power to convey.
The false holding that the sovereign can do no wrong underpins absolute judicial immunity, protecting a corrupt family law system from adequate constitutional review. Legitimate judges do NOT implement legislative policy against litigants' rights; they do NOT regulate future conduct or engage in viewpoint discrimination under the guise of the child's best interests.
Best Interest of the Child between fit parents is a fraud because in every such case, the judge irreparably injures the child. It can NOT be in the child's best interests for a state official in robes to irreparably injure them. Children have individually protected private rights to have two full and equal parents, including First Amendment protected rights to speak with, associate with, worship with, and share family privacy with both fit parents.
When custody orders restrict parent-child association, they are viewpoint-based prior restraints. The Supreme Court in Elrod v. Burns held that "the loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury." It is impossible for any government official to serve a child's best interests by inflicting irreparable constitutional injury.
Using First Amendment and substantive due process doctrines, we dismantle the judicial fiction that courts may penalize fit parents. We provide comprehensive litigation packages, hourly consulting sessions, and assistance for counsel in crafting appellate briefs, mandamus petitions, and federal cert petitions.
Child custody judges fraudulently use absolute judicial immunity to protect their political administration of domestic relations codes. Under 28 U.S.C. § 455 and constitutional due process, no judge may preside over an issue where they share a systemic financial interest in preserving immunity for their fellow judges.
Before providing consulting services, you must acknowledge that WE ARE NOT ATTORNEYS and WE ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN ATTORNEY. This explicit confirmation protects both you and us from officials who resent parents receiving constitutional training.
If acting pro se, we always advise having a licensed attorney in your state review your filings to ensure local procedural rules are strictly respected. We teach federal constitutional standards; attorneys ensure compliance with county clerk procedures. We are happy to work alongside attorneys who are willing to present the constitutional arguments we provide.
