Dedicated to exposing the divorce industry, one county at a time....

Lawsuit Exposes Family Justice Center.

Family to Criminal Court in Alameda County...Supervised Visitation Monitor Naomi Gottlieb Living with Sex Offender.

SAN DIEGO: Where the circus in *always* in town.

San Diego features Jams Judge THOMAS ASHWORTH; who while on the State payroll "presided" over custody trial for....a dog. Yessssireee Bob, no kids, but Fees were over $150,000.00. Anyone who doesn't know family court is about churning fees, must be new in town.

Not to be outdone, MARIN COUNTY features Judge Sutro. Just like the Sutro Baths in San Francisco, we suggest walking into his courtroom naked, because you'll certainly be taking a bath.

Increasingly, people are appealing. Appealing support, custody and most of all, "supervised visitations" and court ordered evaluations, citing them as a violation of privacy.

It's time for judges to stop shaking the money tree.

Did you know county funds are earmarked for Father's only, to assist them in getting them better representation in family law courts?

You might consider calling those in Contract Administration, and asking them why.

Another call to the Alameda Bar Association wouldn't hurt.

As a matter of course, we don't recommend hiring anyone encouraging or representing pro bono programs, which actively discriminate against one gender.

Additionally, call your local congressman, and ask what, if anything he's doing to end this sort of discrimination.

Have we asked our legislators for a statement of accountability? If legislation is not introduced to correct systemic judicial abuse throughout the divorce industry, inclusive of CPS and FCS personnel. . . the question becomes why are we voting for any legislator who does not.

Are we paying attention to the police? Some deputies, most notably in San Diego, act as if they are the private police force of family law judges. Sgt. Teresa Gersch being a good example of a bad example.

Overseeing deputies within family courts, Sgt Gersch routinely threatens those she dislikes with jail. At least until she notices a tape recorder. Her response to questions after noticing the tape is rolling is: no response. She'll shrug, rolls her eyes, but refuses to speak. Remembering this is a public service position and that Sgt. Gerach is in a supervisory position, actions such as these are disturbingly telling.

The harder question of course, is if we know something is wrong and do nothing, does that mean we will then accept our inaction for what it is: A tacit demonstration of our belief that child abuse, can be tolerated, after all.

As hard as the question is, the answer is harder.

The debacle of family law, not initially of our own making, now is. But the good news is we can fix it. Not by changing the system. Other systems are in place to make sure it can't be fixed. (Please see the budget page).

The only way to fix the system, is by realizing it exists solely to benefit the system. It won't change, so the more often parents can avoid court; the better.

It is possible to have the courts be the last, not the first stop when ending a relationship, and we are the ones who will plan and implement a productive way to do so.

By keeping our children a priority we likewise keep our emotional and financial health, too.
