1. We love and need both of you.

2. We are not your messengers. If you have something to say to my other parent, tell them yourself.

3. We know you are hurting, scared and upset. So are we!

4. We know you are probably doing the best you can. So are we!

5. Please don't say bad things about our other parent. It makes us feel really bad.

6. Please don't ask us to choose sides. That's not fair.

7. Don't make us feel we are being disloyal because we enjoy being with our other parent.

8. This may not have been your choice, but remember, it is not our choice either.

9. Please don't tell us details about the divorce that we don't understand or need to know.

10. Please don't make us the "man" or the "lady" of the house. We are just kids. Let us be kids!!!

The motto of this Father and Family Rights Advocate

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again ... and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt,

Quotes of Note On Civil Disobediance

When leaders act contrary to conscience, we must act contrary to leaders. ~Veterans Fast for Life
We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr., "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Why We Can't Wait,
We cannot, by total reliance on law, escape the duty to judge right and wrong.... There are good laws and there are occasionally bad laws, and it conforms to the highest traditions of a free society to offer resistance to bad laws, and to disobey them. ~ Alexander Bickel
The good men may do separately is small compared with what they may do collectively - Benjamin Franklin
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. ~ Albert Einstein
Laws are only words written on paper, words that change on society's whim and are interpreted differently daily by politicians, lawyers, judges, and policemen. Anyone who believes that all laws should always be obeyed would have made a fine slave catcher. Anyone who believes that all laws are applied equally, despite race, religion, or economic status, is a fool. ~ John J. Miller, And Hope to Die
It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do. ~ Edmund Burke, Second Speech on Conciliation, 1775
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. ~ Voltaire

Fathers-4-Justice Sault Ste. Marie

Who we are

We are a local branch of
Fathers-4-Justice Canada

Members of F4J are a cross section of concerned Canadian citizens

both men and women who recognize the bias and injustice in the current family law

system where children are used as prizes.

We believe in truth, justice and equality.

We are your co-workers, neighbours, friends and family.

Our Mission

F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada) believes, and will tirelessly promote, every child's RIGHT in life and law,

to be raised by both parents on an equal basis in the event of separation and/or divorce.

We further believe that such equality in parenting has been clearly shown to be in the best interests of children.

Our Purpose

F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will demand an end to the systemic removal of

either parent from children's lives by family courts;

F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will demand the basic civil and human RIGHT to

enjoy a meaningful, loving relationship with one's own children;

F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada) will demand that children's rights to

an equal relationship with their parents be recognized and protected in law;

F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will advocate for the dismantling of Canada's family law system,

to be replaced by a fair, balanced and transparent rules-based environment.

Our Campaign

F4J Fathers 4 Justice CANADA is committed to Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA) and from time to time, civil disobedience,

as part of its Twin Track strategy of publicity and political pressure.

Contact in Sault Ste. Marie:
Mike Murphy, Coordinator,

We are not anti mom but there is a need to dismantle many myths relating to both genders. We are pro-child and fervently believe having both parents equally in the lives of our children is indeed in their best interests.
