Fisher: What Drove Me to Go Up on a Crane was the Obligation as an American to Defend the Constitution

Daddy Activist Claims Family Court Lacks Due Process

“The family court system needs to be investigated,”says Paul Fisher, the Fathers 4 Justice Daddy Activist who recently spent three days 125 feet above ground on a crane in Ohio. Fisher was drawing attention to what he claims is family court corruption. “The mainstream media is ignoring this serious issue affecting a lot of people. We decided to take it to the next level,” he said, speaking of fellow crane sitter Daddy Activist Donald Tenn from California.

“I made the sign saying STOP THE WAR ON FATHERHOOD,” stated Fisher, “I believe there is a war in this country against fathers. In my case the judge was biased.”

“I took my case all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court, and won. Then the family court judge made changes and decisions without a hearing,” says Fisher, “after five years of day on, day off, equal shared parenting, she reduced my time with my daughter.

Fisher says he never expected to find gender bias in family court, “I’m of the generation that grew up believing in equality. I was raised by a single mom. She taught me the genders are equal.” Fisher had been sharing his daughter’s care since she was an infant.

When reminded that feminist groups claim women are discriminated against in family court, Fisher suggested, “Fathers claim gender bias. Mothers claim gender bias. Let’s do an investigation and learn the truth.”

He recalls having a lot of time to think about things during those hours in the air. He said even though men are victims most often, it can happen to any parent. He clarified, “What drove me to go up on a crane was the obligation as an American to defend the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees us due process.”
