(EIN #87-4833078) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, which provides free legal, mental health, and advocacy services to parents and children, who escaped domestic abuse and face retaliatory lawfare by their abusers in court. Due to systemic failures and lack of equal access to justice, abusers are often able to exploit the family court system against victims, resulting in 58,000 children a year being court ordered into unsupervised contact, including sole custody arrangements, with an abusive parent. Every six days a child dies due to family court lapses. Mommy’s Heart aims to protect and defend the fundamental rights of all fit parents to direct the care and custody of their children, so that no parent has to fear losing a child for reporting abuse.
