Noncustodial Mother's Day

                                                                                 N.A.L.A. NALA is an advocacy community that centers the voices and experiences of noncustodial mothers while actively creating reform of the government at the lower levels.

In the early 2000s, noncustodial mothers were rarely seen or heard. By 2008, after earning my degree, I skipped my graduation ceremony and instead focused on creating my first website for noncustodial mothers, Abused Swan. At the time, it was one of only three websites addressing family court issues. My children had been concealed from me, and becoming the first person in my family—and his—to earn a degree felt meaningless in the face of that loss. Even today, I continue to meet noncustodial mothers who had no idea what truly happens inside family court. If you do not know the issues exist or what to look for, you will never find them. That is why podcasts hosted by noncustodial mothers are so important. These women are speaking openly about their experiences and helping other parents find the courage to share their own stor...
