Fathers Against Malicious Civil Orders
Empowering parents to overcome malicious or false civil orders
About FAMCO-TX
FAMCO exists to expose a serious flaw in Texas family and civil law - a flaw that encourages people to lie to the court system and file unlawful orders - which rips families apart and causes devastating emotional damage to children.
Approximately 70% of protective and restraining orders are filed with false allegations and judges approve nearly every order with no evidence. False orders are usually filed with the plaintiff attempting to cover up their own infidelity, physical abuse, financial abuse, or emotional abuse.
There is very little legal recourse available against an individual that files a false protective or restraining order. This puts others around the individual at risk, as there is nothing to stop them from repeating their unlawful actions.
The entire Texas judicial system is aware of this problem and accepts it, even though it's completely contradictory to justice, with most attorneys blaming incompetent and inexperienced elected lawmakers in Austin.
FAMCO Founder
FAMCO was founded by a father in Southlake, Texas whose wife filed a protective order and restraining order against him in September 2024. His wife's court filings contained proven lies and she did not provide the court any evidence - she only submitted a 3-page dishonest written declaration.
He beat the orders after the case turned against his wife: His wife's infidelity was exposed - a married man with whom she was having an affair was subpoenaed to court, his wife's financial abuse was exposed - she lost $200,000 in an investment she entered into after being fired from her job a year earlier, a court appointed investigator reported that there was no support to his wife's allegations, and his wife would be subject to a psychological evaluation.
He now has permanent joint custody of his children.
As he fought against the orders, he suffered through several weeks of not being able to see his children and tortuous thoughts of losing them forever, all while coming to a shocking realization about his wife’s life-long pattern of similar behavior, including sudden court filings against her first husband.

- Legislative change to provide severe consequences when allegations are proven false such as loss of custodial rights, punitive damages, and criminal charges.

- Financial support for parents who are unable to pay for legal counsel and therapy for emotional distress.
Embracing Truth and Accountability
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil" - MLK
FAMCO embraces the concept that a society built on a foundation of truth is more likely to promote ethical behavior and discourage deception. Rumors and hearsay supported by no evidence, particularly when rendered false by the truth, have no place in a mature and stable society.
FAMCO stands firm in its belief that any information considered rumors, hearsay, defamation, or "my side of the story" does not promote truth and thus will not be a tactic in FAMCO's strategy.
FAMCO is committed to publishing truth supported by hard evidence and facts in its mission to hold those accountable for misinformation and abuse.
