Behind the registry

Why this family court registry exists.

Meg Miller was a single mom of five. On January 29, 2024, Johnson County, Kansas removed her children through an emergency court action. DCF later determined the allegations unsubstantiated. The clock has been running ever since.

This counter is not decoration. It is the clock behind the registry: a mother of five documenting what happened, building the public record, and helping families prove they are not alone.

What is Stand With Meg? Is this family court help or a lawyer directory?

Stand With Meg is a public family court registry, CPS report, and court actor record built by families who lived through family court, child welfare, custody, guardian ad litem, attorney, evaluator, or agency harm. It is not a lawyer directory and it does not give legal advice. It is a public evidence tool families can point to.

Is the family court survey safe if my custody 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 a judge, attorney, GAL, or CPS worker I report show up in Google?

Not automatically. When enough independent families report the same court actor, Stand With Meg can show the pattern publicly. That family-reported record can become discoverable when other parents search names, courts, attorneys, judges, GALs, evaluators, and local custody systems. We do not promise every actor will appear in Google, and reports are not treated as proven allegations.

When does a court actor name become public in the registry?

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 families and the integrity of the record.

Can I use this to find a child custody attorney near me?

We can show you what other families in your city or state are reporting, link you to your state family court 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 family court 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 CPS or custody case to the public pattern is the survey. The fastest way to see what families like yours are reporting is the public report.

Safety reminder. Stand With Meg is a public record and pressure tool, not a hotline. If you or your child are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. The registry is here for the long fight.
Add your family court case

The next custody or CPS case on record might be the one that names the pattern.

Anonymous, first-name, public, and data-only options. A court actor name goes public only after independent families report the same person. Your record matters even when the system failed to keep it.
