Chris Felder is a dedicated advocate for family law reform and the protection of children after separation or divorce. His passion stems from his personal experience navigating the legal system after his wife abruptly left with their children. After years of fighting, he secured shared custody and now works to raise awareness about custodial interference and family abduction.
Chris believes every child deserves a loving relationship with both parents. He advocates for legislative reform and improved training for law enforcement, child protective services, and schools. His goal is to build a system that provides better support for families in conflict, ensures stronger regulatory compliance, and helps children heal and thrive after separation.
