"Deadbeat Dad "
Deadbeat Dad is an exceptionally well-written, easy to read, non-fiction work.  It is presented in such a way that the reader is gently drawn in & feels the author’s pain, the anguish, the anger, the betrayal.

It is a well documented book of a father who longed to continue to be a dad to his four young children.  A dad who tried his very best in every possible loving, caring, legal/lawful way he could to keep his family together, balanced & whole.

The “law enforcement” (whatever happened to “peace officers”?) community is exposed, along with the judges, the attorneys, the banksters, the court system itself together with those government... More > agencies (that supposedly work for the people, but in reality work against...).  The government “services” that are actually designed to destroy the very “social unit” (read: families) their name would indicate they are to protect & promote.  The book exposes the faults, the loopholes, the coercion, the blatant disrespect for the law - flaunted by the very individuals responsible to uphold the law, protect the innocent & to judge fairly.

In this presentation the system would seem to be without logic, rational reason & common sense.  And then one comes to realize that the very purpose of the American family legal system is to separate dads from their children.  The system turns dads into part-time visitors (if they are allowed visitation at all) & destroys the place in a home that rightfully belongs to the father.  At the same time the family legal system strips away the bond, the close connection, that is required between fathers & their children in order for the child to grow to balanced maturity.

One begins to understand more fully the frustration, the urgency & sense of desperation to preserve one’s family against the wiles of the system.

At times one may ask “Why so much personal detail?,” but as one continues reading - the “whys” become evident & as the story nears the close - those several fine threads are woven snugly together to present a completed tapestry.  With beautiful clarity one sees the necessity of each thread to the completion of the whole.

Charles has done an excellent job of writing a story that needs telling.  His writing is thorough, his attention to detail is superb.  He writes from his heart, the very core of his being & it is clear on each & every page.  He obviously loves his children very deeply.

I would highly recommend this book as “required” reading for anyone contemplating, going through, or who has gone through a divorce.  I’d strongly encourage anyone who has friends or acquaintances in the above situations to read this book as well, then give or loan a copy.

"deadbeat dad"
This book was conceived by a very sick individual who has constructd a fantasy world for himself and is now seeking others who might enjoy living in this Hell with him.


If you think you might enjoy hearing how the author's parents, coaches, teachers, neighbors, spouse, courts, law enforcement, employers, and anyone else he can think of, engaged in a grand conspiracy to ruin his life, go for it. He has succeeded in elvevating the age old art of shifting the blame for his self inflicted wounds onto anyone who happens to wonder by.
I think the most significant message gained from reading his poorly written ramblings is that our family courts behave the... More > way they do because of the need to protect women and children from predatory, woman haters like the author of this diatribe. He concludes that the real problem is that women are "allowed" to get divorced for "irreconcilable differences" against the will of a abusive and mentally deranged spouse. He further believes that some great conspiracy exists to seperate loving "good" Fathers from their beloved children. Give me a break! If he did half the things he claims to have done to his family (because his ego was damaged) he belongs in prison.

Given his perspective on the status of women, I'm sure he could find the friends and acceptance that evades him here in the USA should he ever decide to affiliate with the Islamofacists infecting our world today.
I don't reccommend this book as a read for anyone who has a grasp on reality. A total waste of time and money!

"deadbeat dad" A true story of one man's experiences within the American family legal system, but an all too common one. Mr. Fockaert not only describes his experiences, but also makes you feel his anger and frustration in dealing with an often senseless, unjust and corrupt system.

At times his account seems too revealing and I had to ask myself, "why did he put this in his book?" But, after reading through the entire book, I discovered why. As the story unfolds, all the loose ends get tied together. I have to admit, this book made me angry. If you are the kind of person that believes in justice and fair play, it will probably make you angry too.

Why the courts always side with women, without regard to the actual situation is something that needs to be addressed. How are men ever going to get a fair shot? I don't know, but perhaps this book will open some eyes and make people start to realize what is going on.

"Deadbeat Dads are real"
Charles Fockaert has accurately and unemotionally documented in great detail what the divorce system did to him. This book is unusual in that it is a fully-cited documentary containing full source material and names of individuals in the divorce system.. This sets it apart from other books consisting mostly of rants or anecdote.

This book is also unusual in that it names the individuals who abuse the system, and documents exactly what they did. Charles suffered just about every possible perversion practiced by the family courts. The richness of the situation first made me ask myself "how could anyone handle this without going nuts?"

Those... More > who are not aware of the vagaries of the divorce system should read this book. This book is an accurate, microcosmic view of what goes in every day in divorce courts across America.

The people identified in the book do not like like it. They better get used to not liking it because the men's movement is here to stay. Those who think they can make a living destroying fathers for arbitrary or false reasons better get another job, unless of course, they want to be subject of a much larger documentary which is sure to take place in the future.
