I am doing research for my upcoming change of custody case and came upon a document entitled "Application to file Amicus Curiae Brief".  It is written by a Fathers' Rights Organization and seems to be on behalf of a pending case.

The case seems almost identical to mine, and is being heard by the SAME judge I have.

Amicus Curiae is a brief submitted to the court on motion by a third party, attorney or organization represented by an attorney, who seeks to persuade the court to adopt the third party's position as the applicable law of the case.
