What is a Kids Protection Plan?

A Kids Protection Plan™ is a set of instructions, legal documents and even an ID card for your wallet, which you need to have if you have kids at home who count on you for their well-being and care.

If you are in an accident, your Kids Protection Plan™ will make sure your children are never taken into the custody of Child Protective Services because the police don't have clear instructions from you and that your children are raised by people you choose, not someone chosen by the State.

In 9 simple steps you will have the total assurance of knowing your children will always be raised with your values, insights, stories and experience, even if you can't be there.

Why do I need one?

If you are a mom or dad with children at home under the age of 18, you need a Kids Protection Plan™ because if you don’t have one and you are in an accident, when the police show up at your house and find your kids home alone or with a babysitter, they have no choice but to call in Child Protective Services and have your kids removed from your home until they can figure out what to do. And, that’s just the short-term.

For their long-term care, your children would be at the mercy of an overcrowded state court system that could never determine what is in the best interest of your child as well as you can.

Consider the true story of Melanie and Casey Barber who died in a car accident in July 2006 leaving behind three young boys. They never could have imagined the family fighting that would ensue over the care of their sons, which culminated in over 1,000 pages of court documents, family members making hideous allegations in public court, 9 lawyers and tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars spent to determine who would raise their sons. And, yes, their boys did spend a short time in foster care before one of Melanie’s sisters could be located to take care of the three boys.

If the idea of this is as frightening to you as it was to me when I discovered it, you need to have a Kids Protection Plan™ to make sure this never happens in your family.

And, if you think a Will is sufficient to protect your kids, you are mistaken. You see, a traditional Will names guardians for your kids for the long-term, but it only works if you die and not if you become temporarily incapacitated. Not to mention that the police won’t know where your Will is or have it brought before the Court for some time after your death or incapacity, leaving your kids in the hands of strangers until everyone can figure out ­what to do.

What if I don't have one?

If you don't have a Kids Protection Plan™ in place and you are in an accident, the police would have no choice but to call Child Protective Services in to determine the care of your children.

Your children could be taken out of your home, temporarily, until the authorities can figure out what to do.

And then, a Court would make the decision about who should raise your kids. It's very likely that a Court would not choose the same person or people you would choose.

To me, as a mom and a lawyer, these possibilities were unacceptable.

I created the Kids Protection Plan™ so my kids would always remain in the loving care of people I know and trust and never be raised by anyone I didn't want.

And now, you can put in place this same plan for your kids. Just CLICK HERE to get started; it's free and easy to take the first steps.
