Carnell
Smith is a family man. His love of family propelled him from engineer to
entrepreneur; from single parent to married with children and from a victim to
veteran crusader for families, fairness and justice. Smith discovered that
the child he loved and supported for 11 years was in fact fathered by another
man. The courts did not speak of restitution nor of assigning responsibility to
the biological father after hearing that the child’s mother knowingly and
willfully withheld material facts from Smith. Instead Smith was told that it was
his fault for not discovering the truth earlier and was bound by the
courts to continue paying child support. Smith’s need to understand why
the family court is not a court of law and how
this could happen led Smith to a new career and a new calling.
As Carnell Smith sought justice to save his family from poverty and homelessness, he also unearthed a desire to help others facing a similar situation.
