Thanks you Anderson for bringing this topic on! With that being said and maybe its just me but I find it repulsive that this "mother in law" commented on this site supporting this obvious socialpath and degrading the mother of the children. I have followed this story from time to time since I read about it and supporter of her site. To support a person who is in his 60's dating your daughter in her early 20's who is married with children - letting her marry him when you were told he was married - stealing the boys - will not let thier mom see them until she signs a paper they are not married to stay out of trouble etc. I know he has other children from what I read and they do not support him. He had an affair with an assistant in her TEENS while married to someone else you must belive everything you are told. I hope Lynn France is able to get what she deserves - a fair child custody order and divorce. Good luck and Anderson keep up the great stories that need to be out there you brought alot of woman forward with heartbreaking stories and survived! You will too Lynn.

Wonder what kind of a woman the second wife is! She has to be the absolute despicable form of life to marry and stay married to that kind o*****uy! Well at least she got famous at the expense of Lyn Rhodes....soon there will be a reality show with John Frances and his disneyland wife, and a lot of women (like a few who posted in the comments section) will be supporting them...until their own husbands/bfs/partners cheat on them...life is fun!

I am confused--I didn't see the whole show. Whether or not Lynn Rhodes knew John France was getting married in Disney World with their son as a guest, is not the real issue. Was she still married t him at the time? That's what she sounds like she was saying in the interview. If that's the case, the issue is did John France marry another woman while still married. It doesn't matter if his first wife knew or not and was changing hr story for the benefit of the show. The custody issue is another matter entirely.

Don't ever think it can't happen to you. I was married 29 yrs and found out by accident that my husband had been actively leading a double life from the very beginning. almost two yrs ago, our computer crashed due to a virus. I worked through the night trying to fix it. My husband's hotmail account kept popping up. Since I had registered this email for him, I logged on and right at that moment, my life and the lives of our 6 children and 4 grandchildren ended. There I discovered years and years (482 msgs in all) of emails to and from sexual partners, offers to provide rides to and from the airport for oral sex, soliciting for gay sex on craigslist, arrangements for $300 nude massages, etc. He was using the "fine ride with shiney 20s" I helped pay for to have sex in the parking lot of his job.

I was shocked and devastated. I printed out everything, immediately ran upstairs, woke this evil creature up and confronted him. Instead of just admitting it, he denied what I had in my hand. He beat the crap out of me.

I filed for divorce the next day, had him leave until the weekend so I could get out safely, and filed an order for protection. I couldn't afford a lawyer, so I started out with legal aid--very ineffectual and unprofessional--so I'm still in the middle of this on my own.

Although he said he "immediately went to his community to find the gayest lawyer in town to piss you off and hurt your feelings", he still has not admitted anything. He has mistreated and lied to all of our children, dissed our grandchildren, and refuses to pay the court-ordered amount of temporary support that was adjudged against him. Yesterday he called to say his car broke down and he will not be paying me next week.

I have always been a self-sufficient, hardworking woman. In the beginning I lived in a car with this man, and due to my efforts and hard work we made a comfortable life. 20 hours a week has always been a fulltime job for him. I have become gravely ill due to this shame and stress. I am not lazy, but I am broken and I can't pick myself up by the bootstraps. He is still living the comfortable life I'd made possible for him and still has his fine ride. I move from kid to kids house and I have no car, and only $1.91 in the bank right now.

It's not the gay thing, it's the 30 yrs of lies and cheating. HE decided for me how MY life was going to end up. I didn't have all of the information. We were nothing but a cover for him, and the life we thought we had was a sham. I hate him for disrespecting our children. He's mad at them because they helped me leave. What were they supposed to do? Watch me live on the streets. He only contacts them when he wants something.

I feel like God has forgotten me. Why couldn't this happen to someone that had an easy life. I was molested by my father's best friend at age 5. My father abandoned me and my sister at age 10, and I had to raise us b/c my mother was strung out on valium. I was the breadwinner in the family since I was 10. I watched my beautiful son suffer through 3 yrs. of chemotherpay and die of leukemia in my arms.

My depression is getting the best of me. I'm tired of counselors that want me to feel stones and listen to water. I'm sorry for going on an on. I'm just mad that I wake up everyday.

Anyway, I just want to let everyone know that this kind of betrayal is devastating. TRUST BUT VERIFY. Make a plan so you don't end of eating sh*t with the chickens while he laughs at you.

I can clarify that Lynn is not the administrator of the support page and there is no cult. There are many of us who just want Parental Alienation to be held up in court and make sure the children are not emotionally harmed with games some parents play. It is a game of power. There are many aspects of this case and the boys need to see their mother and not held hostage.

Mr. Anderson Copper,
..I am John Frances mother-in-law..I was at the wedding..so was all our family and friends, about 120 guests.. Lynn Rhodes( aka france)is not telling the truth! She is writting a book with high hopes of a big payday!!She just used you and your show to claim more celebrity status.She left the children with their father Dec.1 2008..decided she wanted them back last Aug.2010.She gave her oldest child up for adoption in her mid 20's..second child has been in and out of foster care..her two youngest sons have been with their dad.Thank god there are fathers who do really care!I have faith in our court systems.Let the courts do their job..not public opinion! especially when accusations are made by someone so unstable!John France has won every court case thus far.If everything the Rhodes woman said were true,the courts wouldn't give John cusody of his sons and he would probably be in jail.People:Don't allow Lynn Rhodes to profit at the expense of those two sweet boys!You should do what is right and apologize to Mr. John France.For more info: GOOGLE..WE SUPPORT THE FRANCE CHILDREN WE SUPPORT THE TRUTH..Lynn Rhodes has a(cult) site that she spends 24/7 making it appear she has support,but in reality 95%
are all fake profiles..She is the administrator of the site
