Our Commitment to Illinois Families

forgotten-families' was created from the struggles of families who faced a lack of judicial discretion, failed attempts to have their voices heard and the misuse of legal proceedures and judicial power. 

Our mission is to transform the Illinois family court system by bringing attention to and rooting out procedural abuse and systemic corruption, ensuring the restoration of constitutional due process for every family. We are dedicated to ending the exploitation of unrepresented parents who, lacking the specialized training and resources of vetted attorneys, are disproportionately harmed by complex, predatory legal practices. Our mission is to champion systemic transparency, accountability, and simplified access to justice so that fundamental parental rights are protected by the rule of law, not compromised by financial or professional disadvantage."
