Q: Should I go to jail?
I believe it is my God given right to see and raise my kids. I have been going through a divorce for about 9 months and the judge has ruled against me on everything. I have a lawyer and he said in all his 30 yrs of being a lawyer and a juvenile court judge, he has never saw anything like this. I am seriously thinking of just going to jail in protest because way to many men are not getting what is right much less what is fair when it comes to their kids. A bitter spouse can take your kids? No, I will always be their father no matter what any court says. I have been the stay at home parent for the last 5 years and that is not even being considered. I know that Jefferson gave states the nullification argument but what about average citizens?
A: Violate a court order and you will quite possibly go to jail. And just because you don't agree with the court's order, you will not have any success claiming that you can "nullify" it. Our system of justice simply doesn't work that way.
