Founder & CEO at Kids Come First Coalition
Greater New York City Area
I am not a lawyer, a psychologist, or even a social worker. I am just a Father that has decided to take action after being chewed up during an “Adversarial Divorce.” Because of the pain that process caused my children, I have made it my life’s mission to advocate for the children of divorce. I created the Kids Come First Coalition and developed its home page – DivorceAxis – to help families find better alternatives to the current process of divorce.
The coalition is a group of likeminded individuals that are working for the greater good of children affected by divorce. We don’t champion the rights of one parent over another. Instead, we strongly believe that children do best when raised by both parents. Our goal is to change the current system by making divorce a more collaborative process that puts the needs of children first.

The “Kids Come First Coalition” is a group of like minded organizations that have banded together for the greater good of the nuclear family. Our effort is motivated by our desire to change the existing family law legal system, which encourages the dissolution of the nuclear family. Our sworn enemy is the "Divorce Industry." This industry has the unlimited financial backing of the government and various powerful interest groups to aid it. The Coalition has collectively realized that it must collaborate and rely upon the free market of both ideas and finances to champion their cause.
