If you are being sued by grandparent's, please visit our web site above. Every State Supreme Court challenge occurring today is being overturned.

Alliance for Non-Custodial Parents Rights
9903 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 267, Beverly Hills, CA 90212
    A nonprofit corporation dedicated to protecting and promoting the civil and inalienable human rights of non-custodial parents and their families. Divorce and child custody actions are not fair for the children or the non-custodial parent. We believe that many aspects of the current and proposed laws concerning visitation, custody and child support enforcement violate the constitutional rights of all non-custodial parents. We also believe that it is in the "best interest of the child" to have equal access to both parents, and that shared custody arrangements that specify 50/50 joint physical custody should be the presumption in Family Law. We are not affiliated with any other organization or group. Our membership lists are kept strictly confidential and are never sold or rented for any reason.

    Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.

    Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group.
