Today at the Minnesota State Capitol, I met with Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee and provided her with a detailed document outlining how the exact same patterns currently being exposed in Minnesota’s financial fraud investigations are also occurring within our family court system.


Patterns such as:

  • Misrepresentation of facts

  • Suppression of evidence

  • Retaliation against those who speak out

  • Lack of accountability

  • Protection of institutional actors over the truth


The acts are the same.


The only difference is that instead of taxpayer money being stolen, families and children are the ones paying the price.


After meeting with Chair Robbins, I sent the below attached email and oversight request to GOP members of the committee:


Vice Chair Rep. Patti Anderson


Rep. Pam Altendorf


Rep. Jim Nash


Rep. Isaac Schultz


I also copied Chair Kristin Robbins.


In that email, I made something very clear:


Minnesota families are experiencing the same type of misconduct within the judicial branch that this committee is currently exposing within executive agencies.


The judiciary is failing to follow constitutional protections and mandatory state statutes intended to protect families and children, while the executive and legislative branches continue shielding or refusing to meaningfully confront those issues.


That is why I am speaking directly to legislators who have shown a willingness to investigate fraud and government misconduct.


Because what is happening in family court is not isolated.


And it is not just happening to me.


I am actively working with mothers and fathers across Minnesota who are reporting the same patterns:

  • Evidence being ignored or suppressed

  • Parenting time being withheld without proper findings

  • Retaliation for speaking publicly

  • Endless litigation while children suffer

  • Courts prioritizing process over truth


At the same time, multiple family court reform bills continue to die in committee year after year without meaningful hearings or movement. The demand for reform is clearly there.


The roadblock is political.


The attached document also outlines how my active federal cases have now exposed these same issues at the highest levels of state litigation, including actions by the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office that are currently under review at the federal appellate level.


A parent should never have to fight their own state government in federal court just to protect their constitutional rights and their children.


Yet here we are.


This issue is not about one family.


This is about whether Minnesota is willing to confront the reality that the same misconduct being exposed in financial fraud investigations can also exist within systems affecting families and children.



Attached Documents

For those who would like to review the information directly, both documents referenced above are attached below:


  • Family Court Misconduct & Fraud Oversight – Request for Leadership and Action (Email)


  • Minnesota Family Court Oversight & Systemic Misconduct (Letter)


Please take the time to read them for yourselves and share them with others.



Call to Action

I am asking every parent, grandparent, family member, advocate, and concerned Minnesotan to contact these legislators directly.


Tell them:

  • Family court misconduct deserves the same scrutiny as financial fraud

  • Constitutional protections matter

  • State statutes matter

  • Families and children matter

  • Minnesota families deserve transparency and accountability


Email them directly:


Please respectfully ask them to investigate these issues further. Please encourage them to continue leading on accountability and oversight. Please thank them for being willing to listen when so many families feel unheard.


These legislators have the ability to help bring meaningful attention to what families across Minnesota are experiencing. They need to hear directly from the public that this issue matters and that families are asking for their help. It only takes a minute to send an email, but your voice could help bring attention to an issue affecting countless children and families across our state.


Because tomorrow may be too late.



🔁 Join the Fight for Reform


I have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit challenging systemic misconduct by judges, attorneys, and state agencies that has stripped parents of their rights and traumatized countless children.


With 27 defendants, including the State of Minnesota, this case seeks accountability — and reform.

Join me in taking this mission national.

Family-court reform won’t happen unless lawmakers hear directly from the people.

If what you’ve read here troubles you, don’t stop at signing the petition—call and email your state legislators.

Across the country, I’ve heard from parents who’ve lost everything—many haven’t seen their children in years. When the system designed to protect families becomes the weapon that destroys them, it’s time for change. We must fix this broken family court system. Until that day, I’ll keep fighting—for our children, for truth, and for justice.
