Fathers Unchained Academy

SUPPORT THE MISSION

This mission exists because I refused to stop asking one question:
Did the court ever lawfully obtain authority over the person it claims to govern?

That single question changed everything. It exposed missing records, missing proof of service, and constitutional issues most fathers never know to look for. Fathers Unchained was created so other fathers don’t have to spend years learning those lessons alone.

A court cannot lawfully bind a person without authority.
An agency cannot lawfully enforce without records.
A father cannot effectively challenge a problem he has not documented.
-FATHERS UNCHAINED

Live Case Status

Two federal dockets.
One continuing fight.

U.S. Court of Appeals • First Circuit Fully Briefed Van Etten v. Fattman • No. 26-1280
Supreme Court of the United States Emergency Stay Docketed Application No. 26A97

WHY WE EXIST

Too many fathers are trapped in systems that ignore the Constitution, operate without proper authority, and destroy lives without accountability.

I believe every father deserves due process. I believe in the Truth. I believe in Freedom!

THE CHALLENGES WE FACE

While pursuing federal litigation challenging constitutional issues, I have been subjected to significant efforts by the state to financially cripple income which affects this work, including federal tax liens and other enforcement actions.

Despite those challenges, I continue building Fathers Unchained because fathers deserve access to education, not just expensive legal representation.

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

This mission is not funded by the government, grants, or corporations. It is funded by my own finances and now I am asking fathers and families who believe in justice, truth, and the future of our children to join in and help.

Your support keeps this work independent, strong and moving forward.

WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MAKES POSSIBLE

EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

Courses, guides, and workshops that teach fathers how to read the record and defend their rights

COMMUNITY WITH PRIVACY

A private members association where fathers share experiences, strategies, and support one another.

PUBLIC RECORDS PROJECT

Collecting policies, training, contracts, and enforcement records from agencies across the country to expose the system.

LITIGATION & ADVOCACY

Pursuing constitutional challenges and holding agencies accountable for violations of our rights.

AWARENESS & OUTREACH

Spreading the truth so more fathers can wake up, stand up, and take back control of their lives.

I'm not asking you to fund a lawsuit. I'm asking you to help build an educational movement that teaches fathers how to understand the record, preserve their rights, and help one another.

WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT US

HELP FUEL THE MISSION

Every contribution helps continue this critical work and fight for fathers' rights.

Fathers Unchained has been built through personal sacrifice, pressure, and persistence. While pursuing federal litigation over constitutional issues, federal tax liens and enforcement actions have made it extremely difficult to earn an income and continue funding this work.

I am asking for your support because this mission matters. Every contribution helps keep the Academy online, the resources available, the community growing, and the Public Records Project moving forward.

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT ME.
IT'S ABOUT ALL OF US!
