Substantive Rights Motion

Substantive rights are those rights that the government cannot infringe at all unless the government first meets certain conditions. Family law courts rarely if ever meet these conditions. Your attorney is supposed to be requiring the court to meet these conditions before infringing your rights but so many attorneys have simply become cogs in the government machinery that they simply fail this essential task. With this motion, you put your court on notice that you understand your substantive rights, that you expect the court to protect your substantive rights, and that if the court fails to protect your substantive rights you will appeal this fundamental error on the court’s part.
