    Oh my God, how am I able to get in touch with Purcy? I honestly cannot believe someone out there has the EXACT same story as me.

I am now going through my second round (Ricer v asplund threshold rules have recently changed)..I went back to get ammended orders. The court told us they want to fully reopen it. So I am very optimistic because she has since been unmasked as a liar..I would really love to connect with y... more

  • This is what the world needs to hear

    Purcy thank you for your efforts to get our side of the story in the public domain.

    Everyday the courts have the same game being played and the only difference is the characters are different. Same outcome day in day out. Hopefully we can force the system to change in our lifetime and the rules are changed to prevent our grandchildren have to play this game.

    The power women have is completely out of control. Fathers are handicapped from the moment this game kicks off and there’s no chance of ... more

Episode 11 - Brett King - The Judge sent his Son Back to his ABUSER
Q: If you were in a room with a very single person you'd met or interacted with on this journey, who is the first person you'd be drawn to and why?
The judge, because the decision made to send his kids back to an unsafe environment was horrendous.
Episode 11 - Brett King - The Judge sent his Son Back to his ABUSER
Q: How do we change the system?
The government needs to be changed; the system is corrupt and biased against men. Allegations of domestic violence are thrown around too loosely and must be taken seriously in both directions.

Q: What strategies or tips helped during the process that you could recommend to any listeners?
You'll know who your friends are, 100%. Those who hang around are there for the long run. Take time for yourself and your new family. And if you can, self-represent in court if you're knowledgeable enough.
