Advocate for Parental Equality and Family Court Reform
Robert Garza survived a brutal 16-year custody battle and over 43 false CPS allegations. Today, he leads the international movement for family court reform, transforming personal adversity into a mission that protects children and upholds parental rights around the world.
About Robert Garza
Robert Garza is a nationally recognized family court reform advocate, legislative author, and public speaker with over 16 years of lived experience navigating complex custody litigation. As the Owner and CEO of RobertGarza.us, his journey from a father fighting for his children's rights has evolved into a mission that has touched families across the globe.
As the architect of Texas Senate Bill 718 (passed on Father's Day 2023), Robert established a new standard for parental equality in custody determinations. This groundbreaking legislation, combined with the Three Strikes Law for custody interference, has created a foundation for reform that advocates worldwide are building upon.
Robert's influence extends far beyond Texas. His work helped North Dakota pass model legislation (SB 2186), and his 500+ reform bills have been circulated to advocates worldwide. He has drafted international model laws adopted or under consideration in Canada, Australia, and Europe. This comprehensive legislative package addresses every aspect of family court dysfunction, from due process protections to judicial accountability measures.
In July 2025, Robert was appointed Executive Director of Americans for Judicial Accountability (AJA), where he leads efforts to bring transparency and accountability to family courts globally. He contributed to Texas Proposition 12 (2025), a voter-approved constitutional amendment adding seven citizen members to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. He is also a featured speaker at the prestigious Parental Alienation Study Group (PASG) 2025conference in Toronto.
