AFCC Has a Long History of Tax Fraud

By Julia Donovan

Whoever writes The Family Court Circus articles is intelligent, helpful, and vulgar.

There’s so much worthwhile information on the website that could help many. Still, it’s impossible to read most articles without feeling horrible for stepping over every offensive slur to get to helpful content.

Disparaging remarks about the Jewish faith, dark skin, women, etc., distract readers from the goldmine of information there.

Information about family court corruption on that website isn’t found anywhere else online — and it’s the kind of information we need to stop criminals from doing what they do in corrupt family courts.

If The Family Court Circus guy reads this, or if someone could get this message to him, I hope he will consider posting non-offensive comments and articles here if Frank Report editors allow it.

Those working to save children and families from corruption in family courts need to see that kind of information — without distractions.

Here is a Family Court Circus article, which I edited to take out the distractions.

AFCC Felony Tax Evasion

Why would a national racketeering operation of lawyers and judges be exempt from state and federal taxes?

Annette T. Burns

The AFCC, under the leadership of attorney Annette T. Burns of Phoenix, claims the organization is not subject to tax.

AFCC Executive Director Peter Salem

What if federal IRS agents raided the AFCC headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin? Corner Executive Director Peter Salem and make him produce his tax-exempt certificate.

He does not have it.

Drag the organization’s lawyers into court to tell a judge why they are tax-exempt.

Let’s face it, AFCC never qualified as a tax-exempt organization.

They pulled a trick on the IRS in the ’60s, and no one ever stopped to check compliance with the tax code.

AFCC will make noise that they conduct research, but they have no evidence. They are not a research organization. They are a union operation with a chokehold on family courts across the country, a taxable enterprise.

They are a lobbying organization subject to tax.

They will lie to you and the government about what they are, how they operate, and what they do. But they are not tax exempt.

Read the mission statement to find anything about substantive research:

AFCC is an interdisciplinary, international association of professionals dedicated to improving the lives of children and families through the resolution of family conflict. AFCC promotes a collaborative approach to serving the needs of children among those who work in and with family law systems, encouraging education, research and innovation and identifying best practices.

The mission statement sounds like it was copied from an advertising agency. AFCC works with family law systems?

What type of word salad is that?

Ask Salem or Burns to post the tax exemption certificate on their website, along with the compliance paperwork that shows what they do to maintain this exemption.

AFCC is an association of lawyers and judges that maximizes conflict to generate revenue for its members.

It is a bonafide criminal racketeering operation.

The AFCC claims to be tax-exempt as it conducts research.

The original exemption certificate is long gone. No copy exists.

Gardner Aftermath

Dr. Richard Gardner

The “family court” hell Richard Gardner helped establish in the 1980s was a sign of the times to come for everyone in and outside “family courts” from then on.

Everywhere Gardner traveled in the 1980s and everywhere AFCC Astroturfed in the 1990s, they started churning out horrible cases. All the horrific cases are the same—different names, dates, and details. Around the world, the cases are the same.

No oversight and accountability for crimes committed in family courts makes it seem that some group(s) somewhere established family courts to force dangerous cases through mandatory systems and for-profit industries.

For the past hundred years, political organizations have been open about their goal to destroy marriage and families — and those political organizations have infiltrated the family court systems.

Here are a few quotes:

Fredrick Engels

“Then it will be plain that the first condition for the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex back into public industry, and that this in turn demands that the characteristic of the monogamous family as the economic unit of society be abolished.” Fredrick Engels

Alexandra Kollontai

‘There is no escaping the fact: the old type of family has seen its day…It is worse than useless, since it needlessly holds back the female workers from more productive and far more serious work.’ Alexandra Kollontai, in 1920 after the Russian Revolution

Gloria Steinem

‘We have to abolish and reform the institution of marriage… By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God… We must understand what we are attempting is a revolution, not a public relations movement.’ Gloria Steinem

    • Parental alienation is a clinical diagnosis. The child must meet a surtin number of criteria to be alienated. There is zero effort to weather it’s authentic or their is another reason the child had separated themselves like abuse or neglect. No body has to actually address the problem. That’s why you see the switch to custodial interference. It appears when abuse has been substancied, neglect or substance abuse they can go ahead and do the custody flip anyway. People have to go along or face jail. Only court appointed therapist are allowed to weigh in. Cause some how they are superior to any other psychologist in the world. They can charge what ever they like.

  • God doesn’t separate parents from children. Neither do state and federal laws. Why then, do judges in CT family court do it constantly- even depriving a parent of legal custody of their children without any interest by DCF or the state?

    The public needs to absorb the reality of our government. They are lining their pockets and destroying families. It’s protocol of the AFCC.

  • Connecticut family court is violating state and federal laws for active and meaningful participation from both parents.

    Sole custody is being given and a good parent is eviscerated from the child’s life. This should be of public concern to all. One minute you have your mother, and the next you are taken from your home and told you cannot even communicate with her.

    This just happened to a 15 year old teen. Do you realize the trauma inflicted upon these children?

    It’s child abuse and it’s criminal conduct as a result of sadistic gals, and court appointed specialists.

  • “Whoever writes The Family Court Circus articles is intelligent, helpful, and vulgar.l

    More like insane, hateful, destructive, vulgar, and evil.

    “Disparaging remarks[…]distract from the goldmine of information there.”

    I say no, they attempt to obfuscate the trough of bullshit and lies.

    “What if federal IRS agents raided the AFCC headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin? Corner Executive Director Peter Salem and make him produce his tax-exempt certificate.

    He does not have it.”

    How do you know he doesn’t have proof of tax-exempt status?

    “Drag the organization’s lawyers into court to tell a judge why they are tax-exempt.”

    Ok, so now you’re saying they DO have proof they are tax exempt.

    “Let’s face it, AFCC never qualified as a tax-exempt organization.”

    What are your qualifications in tax law? Business leagues can be tax exempt. Non-profits can be tax exempt.

    “They pulled a trick on the IRS in the ’60s, and no one ever stopped to check compliance with the tax code.”

    Where is your proof that the IRS never checked continue compliance?

    “AFCC will make noise that they conduct research, but they have no evidence.”

    Where is your evidence of this?

    “They are not a research organization.”

    Why does that even matter? You don’t have to be a research organization for tax-exempt status.

    “Ask Salem or Burns to post the tax exemption certificate on their website, along with the compliance paperwork that shows what they do to maintain this exemption.”

    You sound confused. First you say they have no tax exempt status, now you are saying they do, but they don’t meet the standards for it. Which is it?

    Why don’t you actually do a little legwork before throwing around accusations and do some research to find their tax exempt status number? I’m sure it is public record.

    “The AFCC claims to be tax-exempt as it conducts research.”

    OK. Where does it say that?

    “The original exemption certificate is long gone. No copy exists.”

    They should still have an active tax exemption number.

  • “Why would a national racketeering operation of lawyers and judges be exempt from state and federal taxes?”

    Where is the proof that they have claimed they are exempt from taxes? I don’t see any such evidence here. Without that, it is baseless gossip.

    • “… AFCC … 501C3 …”
      https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/462716503/201501399349100000/full

      “… Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.

      (For those who don’t yet know: Family court isn’t a charity.)

  • When you put his threats of violence and hateful slurs aside, you’ll see that the Family Court Circus guy writes lie after lie. What is incredible is he will publish lies in a blog post and provide a link to an actual court document and if you take a minute to actually read the document, you will see it totally contradicts what he’s written. If there is evil in this world, that man is evil. And has mush for brains.

    It’s very funny Julia that you claim to have been offended by a common use of the word “holy” and yet you are lapping up this man’s disgusting words. Your true hateful nature and hypocrisy is on full show.

    Quit pretending to care about protecting children when your true agenda is peddling hate.

    • The legal information in the circus blog probably in part came from someone working in the system.

      He is way off the deep end. Exposure to what is going on in the courts is to save lives. What is being put out for information in cases to the public is missing a tremendous amount of information.

      I was continuously asked to remain in the hall of the courthouse. There is no record of what was discussed. My own attorneys failed to present material facts to the court.

      From my own experience, the absolute truth of the facts in cases is not disclosed. Mental health professionals, doctors in the community are not considered by the courts. Only the chosen court ones. The court documents are geared to what the attorneys want them to say. Legal tactics are used. My ex’s lawyer put on quite a show. My attorney allowed it. Cause it drags the case on. More billable hours.

      Don’t trust what you read. I have plenty of documents to support that lies are being told in the courtroom. They’re only cleared up off the record.

      • “The legal information in the circus blog probably in part came from someone working in the system.”

        All the legal docs I’ve seen there seem most likely to have come from the parent in the case who didn’t get what they wanted.

      • With such a long history of fatalities, horrible harm done and parents openly complaining about the blatant corruption, why don’t family court administrators simply put cameras in the courtrooms of the most contentious and dangerous cases?

  • More crazy content here on the Frank Report…

    “For the past hundred years, political organizations have been open about their goal to destroy marriage and families“

    Uh-huh. What news of Sasquatch and space aliens, while we’re at it? I think the FR should run a series of alien abduction articles. That would fit right in with the rest of the shite.

    • In this assignment, you were allowed to read the whole thing or simply skip to the comment section to type an insult.

      Re: “political organizations” open about their goals and referenced up above the comment section

      Fredrick had something to do with the Marxists
      Alexandra worked for the Bolsheviks
      Gloria was with the Globalists (and the CIA)

    • Given marriage and family are foundations of the Church, it is those who decry those teachings, promoting their political power over peasants … war in Ukraine is the same chosen ideology seeking destruction of Orthodoxy, fully supported and funded by U.S. Government. Family Court is no different, the profiteers hold the same ideology.
