What is Stand With Meg, and how is it different from a lawyer directory?
Stand With Meg is a public registry, dashboard, and court actor record built by families who lived through family court, child welfare, custody, GAL, attorney, evaluator, agency, or government separation harm. It is not a lawyer directory and it does not give legal advice. It is a public evidence tool that families can point to.
Is the survey safe to fill out if my case is still active?
Yes. The My Stand With Meg survey supports anonymous, first-name-only, public, and data-only options. You choose what is shown publicly. Quotes and details are only attached to your name when you allow it.
Will the court actors I report show up in Google searches automatically?
Not automatically. When enough independent families report the same court actor, Stand With Meg can show the pattern publicly. That public record can become discoverable by families searching names, courts, attorneys, judges, GALs, evaluators, and local custody systems. We do not promise that every actor will appear in Google, and we do not treat reports as proven allegations.
What is the threshold before a court actor name becomes public?
Public actor naming requires multiple independent families to submit verified case information about the same actor through the survey. Until that threshold is met, names stay non-public. This protects both families and the integrity of the record.
Can I use this to find a divorce or custody attorney near me?
We can show you what other families in your city or state are reporting, link you to your state report, and let you search the court actor registry. We will not tell you which attorney to hire. Use this to inform your search, then verify everything yourself.
How do I get help right now if I am in crisis?
If you or your child are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Stand With Meg is a public record and pressure tool, not a hotline. The fastest way to add your case to the public pattern is the survey, and the fastest way to see what families like yours are reporting is the public dashboard.
