About Us
“I don’t believe family court is broken. I believe it’s working exactly as it was designed to — for profit.”
Our Story
Children’s Court was born out of survival. My name is Phoenix Kai Rising, (Legally - Kai Andrews) and after years of being dragged through the family court system by an abusive ex-partner, I lost everything—except my voice.
I never wanted to go to court. I tried everything to avoid it. But like so many other survivors, I learned the hard way that family court isn’t about justice or children—it’s about power, money, and control.
I watched as judges ignored evidence, attorneys twisted the truth, and our daughter became a pawn in a system designed to profit off conflict. That’s when I realized: we don’t need to reform family court—we need to replace it.
Our Mission
Children’s Court exists to dismantle the corrupt, profit-driven family court system and replace it with a child-centered, community-based model rooted in justice, safety, and truth.
We protect children, empower families, and remove the influence of judges, attorneys, and financial motives—because when the children win, no one loses.
Our mission is rooted in:
- Trauma-informed practice
- Abuse-aware risk assessments
- Non-adversarial resolution
- Restorative justice and accountability
Our Vision
The end of family court. The rise of Children’s Court.
Like the phoenix, from the ashes of family court, we will rise.
We envision a world where children’s rights come before court battles, and justice is led by truth—not attorneys.
In this future, coercive control is exposed, post-separation abuse is eliminated, and no child is ever used as a pawn again.
Our long-term goal is to pass legislation that phases out family court’s jurisdiction over children and replaces it with a restorative, community-rooted system that actually serves children and families.
We call it our Trojan Horse—and it’s already rolling.
At Children's Court, children's rights come first. We protect children and promote their well-being. We work to prevent abuse and neglect, provide support to families in crisis, and ensure that every child has a safe and loving home with hopefully two healthy parents.
