"You can have a public defender for murder..." ⚖️ @ShawnLeeisme
but a parent in family court can lose everything just trying to keep their child 👇
⚠️ 🚨 CRIMINAL COURT HAS CAPS. FAMILY COURT HAS NO CLEAR CEILING. 🚨 ⚠️
In Kansas, appointed attorney compensation for certain tried felony cases can be listed with caps like:
• $2,560
• $3,200
• $8,000
Now compare that to family court.
In the Stand With Meg registry data, families have reported more than $228 million in attorney fees alone.
Not GALs.
Not therapists.
Not evaluators.
Not every court-ordered professional.
Attorney fees alone.
These are family-reported submissions - not court findings.
But the contrast matters.
Public systems know how to write caps, schedules, categories, and numbers.
Family court parents are reporting something different:
Bills that keep coming.
Hearings that keep coming.
Motions that keep coming.
And parents running out of money before they run out of evidence.
If attorney fees became part of the pressure in your family court case - mothers and fathers alike - your story belongs on the public record 👇

I love what she is exposing! Get them!
Judge James F. Bell CONFIRMS that Superior Court and Family Court Judges are PROFITING from Title 4D & E Federal Funds paid to the state on child support managed by judges and Commissioners. We and our children are being TRAFFICKED in this system of no justice.
Stand up people!
Rise Up!
This is tyranny and it is only going to get worse.
We have a window of time.
USE YOUR VOICE FOR CHANGE!
