‘My mom has never been married and I would like a dad’
Background: Charlotte Hardwick’s Dear Judge (Kid’s Letters to the Judge) is a fascinating collection of letters which children caught in divorces have written to family law judges.
In the letter below, a fatherless young girl writes a judge asking, “If a good dad that is getting kicked out of his family needs a new one, please make sure he sees our picture.”
Dear Judge,
I heard on the television that half of the people who get married are getting divorced. I think about half of those people are dads.
Some must still be good. My mom has never been married and I would like a dad.
Could you put this picture of me and my mom on the front of your desk in the court? If a good dad that is getting kicked out of his family needs a new one, please make sure he sees our picture. If a bad dad sees our picture and asks about us tell him we are not home.
I am pretty and a good girl. My mom is pretty and a good mom. We have a house and will get a dog if you think it will help.
Thank you, Trish P.

Dear Trish,
Judges don’t believe that good dads exist. I hope your mom is saving for the psychotherapy bills you’ll have in a few years.
Love,

Reading those letters made me feel very sad for those children.
Like the saying goes “Out of the mouths of babes..”

I too find that letter very, very sad. I’d love to give her a hug and tell her she’ll be ok, but if I did I’d be jailed as a pedophile. And that, more so than anything else, makes me even sadder.

I would like to represent Trish, pro bono. I want to sue her Mom for countless dollars to pay her daughter for her compensatory damage. I’ll bet the jury would award huge sums in punitive damage to make it all worthwhile. Her Mom has taken from her a right that is precious. She has a natural right to be raised by her own 2 parents. Violations of human rights like these cannot be continually ignored. While I’m at it I’ll set up a practice to sue lawyers for all of the Dad’s who have been represented by incompetent lawyers unable and unwilling to assert the fundamental rights of Dads in every divorce case in the nation. That’ll easily pay for my work for Trish.
