Why does the Alabama Judiciary not follow their own Rules and Laws of this state?

4 Jan 12 - The Supreme Court of Alabama -- Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 83,

"all local rules are abolished effective April 14, 1992, and no local rules shall thereafter be permitted. "

Every County in Alabama has a "Local" standardized visitation schedule. Although Alabama case law is clear Courts are to issue Judgments based upon the narrowly applied facts of a case.

In 1984 the ASC determined the Tender Years Doctrine Unconstitutional.

If you don't know that the Tender Years Doctrine is, that basically says children under a certain age should always be in the care and control of the Mother.

Did you know the 11th Judicial Circuit Court of Lauderdale County, (Florence) Alabama has a "local Rule" a standardized visitation schedule implemented in 2000. It is still in use in 2012 that is premised upon the Tender Years Doctrine.

Did you know similar is implemented in just about every Alabama County?

Here is what it says:

"VISITATION FOR A CHILD UNDER 12 MONTHS 0F AGE

"The non-custodial parent shall have the right to visit with the minor child under the age of twelve months, each Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the place where the child resides, unless the parties mutually agree upon another location."

Although the state of Alabama is not following its own Rules an Judgments, it is worse that child development research is clear a child under age 2 loses the conceptual memory of the away parent after four days.

This lawlessness is rampant in the Alabama Judiciary that is harming children and families.
