As A Flint Divorce Attorney I have been invited to be a speaker at this event at 11:00 am and to speak generally about topics I focused on my radio show. I went off the air about a year ago,WFLT every Saturday Morning “Know the Law” where I focused on Flint Divorce and Family Law.

My plan is to talk about Young Men Getting parenting time when they go to court for child support. This first court hearing could be from a divorce, paternity or Prosecutors action.

The circulated agenda to this public meeting follows.

Purpose: We believe one of the ways to save Flint is by coming together to address the issues that are holding Flint down. When building a house it must be built on a solid foundation to stand the test of any kind of weather; tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, even earthquakes. When a house is built on sand or a weak foundation it will not stand the test. The reason for having this men conference is to build a foundation for Flint by helping men to create the correct mind-set to re-build our city we call home. We believe once we as strong men start building our families, homes, neighborhood, community Flint will have the foundation to stand against any storm.

Agenda

The agenda is posted in the information package everyone received upon entering the conference.

9:00 AM REBULIDING THE CITY: Speak on ways to help re-build the city by re-building the family structure. By doing this should help re-build the neighborhoods and communities.

10:00AM STOP YOUTH KIILS/CRIME: Showing the youth how to respect themselves and others. Encourage them to do good deeds in the communities. Encourage them to stay in school and show them by dropping out will make it harder for the next kid. (School closing makes it hard to learn)
