Protect Your Child on Valentine's Day

Happy Father's Day!

Well life goes on, doesn't it? It has been a couple weeks since I received the decision from a three-judge panel who went to great length to defend the failure of the Superior Court of California to protect the best interest of my child according to their own rules.

No mention of what I might have done or not done that would provide a legal justification for removing the children (that was then, two are adults by now) from my custody.

What a trip. All I can say is I have been flabbergasted. The good news is I have developed a comprehensive program to help families in similar situations that I never would have come up with if I hadn't been facing this. And one of these days, I may share the details in book form with a chapter devoted to my surreal sojourn among the pseudo-sovereign citizens with United Parents for Children. It's been a seriously wild ride.

For now, here I am facing West. On my balcony, looking towards the camera for a moment actually before looking toward the Sun that appears to be on the horizon between where I am on the banks of the Arkansas River in Tulsa, Oklahoma and where my children are in Modesto, California. Modesto, home of the community hero Judge Distaso - lead prosecutor in the trial of Scott Peterson for the murder of his pregnant wife Lacy the year my oldest was born. And most recently the judge in my family law case.

I updated the info about my work and what I am doing on my website today, so I will share this with you here. Please do share and let me know if there is anyone you know who could use the help!

Nathan Johnston-Chiszar is an internationally certified coach and founder of the Interaction Focused Family Institute. An ordained interfaith minister, his approach is based on the metaphysical worldview of his Cherokee ancestors, and decades of experience in the fields of Early Childhood Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. He holds a Master’s degree in Human Behavior from City University of Seattle, and a Doctorate in Education from California State University, Stanislaus.

Beginning in the 1990’s, Nathan worked for the US Department of Defense to develop reunion and reintegration programs for military families experiencing post-deployment conflict on three continents. He now works with parents to realize the hope of their ancestors and create generational wealth and healing after family trauma, separation, and divorce.

Nathan learned the hard way how income inequality allows courts to profit from separating children from their parents.

During the pandemic, his own children were separated from him for 500 days when a celebrity judge in California cited "COVID" as an explanation for failing to follow the standard timeline for custody mediation. The judge set a new precedent for families of gender creative children by removing custody from a fit and affectionally available parent on the basis of the mother's claim she was "flabbergasted" when the father expressed concerns over signs of possible child abuse.

At the hearing, when Nathan objected to the state's failure to exercise due diligence in protecting the best interest of the child in coordination with Child Protective Services, the judge paused the proceeding to reply "...off the record, I can do whatever I want."

Borrowing and spending nearly a quarter of a million dollars to fight for his children, Nathan learned exactly what families must do to protect their children from becoming collateral damage in the culture war being waged in our family courts.

Parents in the family court system are generally treated worse than suspected criminals with rights to due process under the US Constitution. This is an 80 billion dollar a year industry subsidized by tax-dollars to generate more revenue for the government than all other areas of law combined. Without measures to safeguard constitutional rights, judges act as private contractors to procure matching funds from the federal government for enforcement of child support. This means that in some cases, local governments receive more funds for child support than children do. There is an incentive for bad actors to award custody and child support to a lower wage household in order earn additional funding for their federal contract for child support enforcement.

Nathan founded the Interaction Focused Family Institute for parents to connect with their children and ensure their success in the most challenging circumstances. Parents hire him to save valuable time and energy when it matters most, and ensure a legacy of pride and prosperity for the rising generation.

Nathan is an independent advocate for the child in high-conflict divorce proceedings, and parents sign a contract to indicate they acknowledge his service is provided in the best of interest of the child, and not one or the other parent. He provides access to affordable legal counsel at reduced rates in all 50 states and Canada, but he is not a lawyer. His sole focus is to support the child and assist the parents in creating the conditions for their child's success using the science of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Once the child is protected and both parents are satisfied with the result, Nathan works with families to recover from the financial cost of divorce. By cutting out the state as the middleman for payment of child support, they are able to increase the amount given and received for their child without reducing cash flow, and eliminate dependency on predatory lending.

Instead of the “one-size-fits all” approach typical of many family court system interventions, parents hire Nathan to implement his proprietary Interaction Focused® Family PRIIDE system, secure their financial future, and protect their child’s unique cultural and spiritual identity with a customized family legacy solution - without years of therapy.

Who is doing The Work?

Check this out. We may be friends on Facebook but even in real life, we don't know who is a real friend without the ability to forgive perceived slights, or if we aren't interested in seeing things from other people's perspective.

To be a real friend, we have to practice harmlessness.

That means when we must avoid getting between our friendlies and what they perceive to be the enemy.

"Friendlies" are what we call people who we think are there to help us, whose weapons are not under control.

There is a war going on, and the battleground is thick with smoke. We gotta be careful with each other - if we don't want to get our eyes poked out. To take care of each other, we gotta look both ways.

Don’t let the fire die! Only a couple days left to get access to some life changing opportunities.

This is for all of you who are ready for some new insights to spark a deeper connection with yourself in relation to love and s*x after 40.

My colleague Shana James, author of Honest S*x: A Passionate Path to Deepen Connection and Keep Relationships Alive, has brought together a team to share a trove of FREE resources

It’s called The Hot, Happy, Healthy Love and S*x After 40 Toolkit.

Essential Wisdom for Deeper Connection and Conscious Intimacy.

This free resource gives you guides and teachings from thought leaders, covering topics like:

Understanding your love style to build more trust and love
Enhancing s*xual potency and pleasure
Expressing anger without breaking a relationship
The six senses of romantic love that lead to more erotic intimacy
Crucial conversations for compatibility in midlife dating and relationships
How to shift from trying to control a partner to creating deeper connection

Shana believes that after 40 you have an opportunity to create the kind of intimacy that wasn’t possible in your younger years.

While my focus is on helping parents connect with their children, I am honored to share an opportunity for folks to gain access to some amazing resources to help them deepen their relationships in other important aspects of their lives as well.

Did you know that the US treasury printed 40% of all the money that has ever been made in just a few months during the pandemic? Do you think this has anything to do with the inflation? You bet!

Have you worked hard for decades to sock away money in retirement but you worry about losing 50% of your retirement the next time the market tanks?

Or maybe you have a bunch of debt, or maybe you want to be paid up with your taxes for life, and protect your money so that you don't have to pay taxes on retirement income....

Well here's great news. In the past few years I have been moving in some international entrepreneurial circles where I met a meat and potatoes brother from Idaho who helped me eliminate 6 figures in debt in less than 30 days after he showed me this strategy.

He has the know-how and perhaps even better yet the technology to make it super simple to change everything about your financial outlook - Jason Nightingale is a banking and financial educator who lost his business in a fire in 2016 and when the bank wouldn't loan him money to rebuild he figured out an even better idea. Using this system, he paid off a 14 year-mortgage in 30 months and learned the principle that "it is not what you own but how you own it" that will make all the difference for your financial future.

And tomorrow, you are invited to join us for a call where he will explain how to reach your financial goals in less time than you might imagine is possible - using MATH!

I'll drop the flyer in the chat!

🎯 **Unlocking the Relationship Between Faith and Finances** 💡

There many of us those among us who might perceive faith and finances as two different realms, each holding its own set of beliefs and practices. Yet, the synergy between these concepts is pivotal, especially when it comes to family prosperity and personal growth.🏡💼

Faith provides a strong foundation for decision-making, influencing how we handle money with purpose and integrity.

When families place their trust in principles, they’re equipped to make sound financial decisions driven by ethical considerations.

Imagine budgeting not just as a task, but as a declaration of your values and aspirations! 🍃

Taking this mindful approach allows families to align their spending and saving habits with their long-term goals. Whether it's saving for your child’s education or planning a financially secure retirement, faith-driven financial decisions are often more steadfast and impactful.

Secondly, there is incredible power hidden within each of us—gifts that, when unlocked, can ripple outwards to help others access their resources. At Interaction Focused Family Institute, we emphasize that every member of the family has something valuable to contribute. Tapping into your unique talents not only steers your financial journey but also inspires those around you to discover their potential. Your knack for entrepreneurship could be the beacon that lights up your community's path to prosperity. 💪🌟 Let your gifts elevate both your life and the lives of others.

Lastly, combining faith and financial acumen cultivates an environment of support and collaboration. By integrating these elements within the family dynamic, you create a fortress of trust and mutual aid. Having strategic partnerships like those with Legal Shield and Safe Money Solutions can significantly amplify these efforts, providing the tools to safeguard and grow your family's assets. Together, faith and savvy financial planning create a robust support system that benefits everyone involved. 🤝✨
