Divorce attorneys, therapists, parental alienation, the court and judges
"Falsehood flies and the truth comes limping after; so that when men come to be undeceived it is too late: the jest is over and the tale has had its effect."
Jonathan Swift
November 9th, 1710
The bastard child of family court is perjury.
Perjury is seldom Prosecuted.
Perjury allows judges to order Supervised visitation, evaluators and other legal services.
Children are the cog that turn the judicial wheel of fortune for attorneys and other comers in the divorce and custody industry.
However the main reason to remember why "No Fault" divorce doesn't work is because most judges are former prosecutors and as former prosecutors, are trained to look for and then place, blame.
Also, with our tongue planted firmly in our cheek, FamilyLawCourts.com wants to congratulate ex felon and convicted rapist, Pete Clark, of www.Livebeatdads.us - for *finally* dropping off Meagan's list. Clark no longer has to register his whereabouts.
But we seriously hope he's not dating.

Some judges are even willing to learn about parental alienation. But most subject the person reporting the brainwashing parent, to legal abuse. It's called shooting the messenger and it's fairly routine. Which is why judges must be educated.
California; Family Code Section 7507, authorizes the County Board of Supervisors the ability to act. Specifically, Section 7507 provides by statute, the ability to initiate a custody action failing other remedies.
Petition the Board to act. When they refuse, as they initially will, return until they either act, or are voted out, for not making children a priority.
California Penal Code Section 278 addresses issues of custody. If a police officer refuses to take a report, go Up the chain of command until one does. End selective law
enforcement.
This site is dedicated to LaVerne Russell, researcher extraordinaire; and children alive, but physically and emotionally injured as a result of extreme judicial bias.
Kids are dying at the hands of parents or state agencies promising to care for them.
In 2001 We first recommended Voting Out elected officials who consistently refused to act in the best interests of children. Our calls for ouster were the result of repeated calls for action, being routinely ignored. We began to wonder, what do these people do for a living. Our first call for resignation was to Rep. Cunningham.
Calls went unanswered. Rep. Cunningham finally resigned after pleading guilty to accepting bribes. We attending sentencing and witnessed him ask to be allowed to go home to visit his mother one more time. Why she wasn't important enough to visit prior to sentencing wasn't mentioned. However it seems Cunningham didn't miss any opportunity to make himself look good. Although Cunningham said he asked his family to stay away. We heard they were so disgusted with his behavior wild horses could have dragged them there.
However, elected officials continue their lock-step refusal to address Routine matters affecting the people they profess to serve, demonstrate indifference in the extreme.
Welcome to Family Court.
No one under eleven believes it's working.
This site was founded in 2001 as a resource for reporters working on family court stories. At the time it was not commonly known media routinely ignored the busiest court in the nation, or that children were used as the marketing cog that turned the entire divorce and custody industry, wheel. Also unknown? That the system has practically no recognizable oversight, and flourishes due to prosecutorial misogynymarried to law enforcement misogyny.
So in that it is most important to remember the business of government is: Business; the second fact one would do well to remember is: Judges always protect those who work in the divorce and custody industry.
This site also features the latest and sometime judicially inspired parent-child relationship shredder; parental alienation.
In the two cases below, judges who facilitate it.
One, Judge James Martin of La Dona County in New Mexico; and because Orange County, California has a history of female judges being reversed; Judge Nancy Pollard....the judge in half of the Real Housewives of Orange County; which demonstrates the almost complete lack of reality in reality television; is featured.
More chilling for the American public however, is that there is now a movement underfoot to remove the voter from the judicial selection process. For reporters who wish to seem a "Summary" please click Here.
Click here for a national sample of kids murdered by their parents, listed alphabetically by state, for roud alphabetically by state, for roughly the same reason.
In California, what the television show The Real Housewives of Orange County doesn't show is - the reality. If the reality TV program caught the reality, one George Peterson would not be considered any kind of 'catch'. However, what the public does not know is the lengths Judge Nancy Pollard took to make viewer reality look real.
Judge Pollard is one strange, vindictive kind of woman, also is often reversed at the Court of Appeal.
Which is why we strongly recommend those who value their children avoid Judge Pollard, and minor's counsel Diane Vargas, at all costs.
Because 'all costs' means all one holds dear.
Pollard's adopted policy of extreme bias seems to have no limit. The Peterson case in point: Judge Pollard refused to allow witnesses to provide evidence of a more realistic appraisal of George Peterson. This is not a woman who has even a remote interest in concern for children.
(This site has also attracted daily visits from Orange County attorney John Rapillo, who bears an uncanny likeness to former attorney, the felonious Ron Lais. Noticing Mr. Rapillo all but lives on the site, we called and asked if we could be of any assistance. Rapillo was quite defensive...again reminding us of the imprisoned Ron Lais.)
Returning to the Peterson case, an the attorney-style Keystone Cops aspect to it, while counsel for father, (and we use 'Father' to mean planting the seed rather than actual parenting), Steven Briggs and Diane Vargas, so-called minors counsel, alternately thunder and whine about gag orders being violated; neither realize they were the ones violating gag orders daily, with the show they put on in the courthouse halls and nearby dining, (we are being charitable) establishments.
Priggish, preening and so completely full of themselves, each leaks enough information to require a mop.
To date other than Pollard's own whacked rulings; the least favorite display of professionalism occurred on January 11, 2008, as Diane Vargas jokingly asked Dr. Adams if his 'final' recommendation was going to be ready about the time the kids finished college. Ka-ching. Vargas knows the score. Her comments revealed what the custody industry is about. A full employment act and a willingness to go along for a paycheck. Certainly Vargas so called 'representation' has been less than nil.
Next was conversation between attorneys describing motions as 'two dogs pissing on each other.' Unfortunately, Dr. Adams found this amusing also.
But our personal favorite occurred when Dr. Adams asked George Peterson,
Would it be indelicate of me to ask about payment before I testify?
The response was immediate. George Peterson, dressed in a well tailored suit, quickly responded he’d mailed the check. No kidding. He said that.
Dr. Adams politely but firmly said he had not received any check. Peterson looked panicked Would the doctor not come across for him? The conversation continued. Offices has been relocated. That was it! Peterson continued to tap dance his way around Adams lack of payment. The dance was inept. Dancing with the Stars will not be calling. So while we suspect Adams eventually got paid, in fact, Peterson seems to do a lot of tap dancing around a lot of money. Some would say to the point of fraud which clearly, Judge Pollard does not seem to mind; although a civil judge in a fraud case might. And to think George Peterson is presented as a 'Catch' on the Real Housewives of Orange County. The reality is starkly different.
Such is real life in Orange County Family Court. But no, we don't expect that to be featured on the "reality" program.
Perhaps it would be best if all family court litigants read, "The Mongol Reply. In Orange County, it reminds us of George Peterson but we're sure every community can insert its own names.
Media remains unaware Family Court . . .such as in the Peterson case, encourages perjury and that custody trials are often a stacked deck,
As Judges Sentence Children to a Lifetime of Risk.
PTSD occurs in adulthood from abuse not addressed by Judges during childhood.
Unfortunately, decades of cases demonstrate the courts order custody to the abuser as the divorce and custody industry is is comprised of judges either generating, or allowing attorneys and others to make divorce and custody a full employment act for attorneys and therapists?
But litigation while good for the economy is terrible for families.
What other problems exist?
Extreme amounts of misogyny.
Sometimes at the hands of female judges.
(Once some women pull up a chair at the big boys table, they will do anything to keep the seat warm.)
What other kind of sexism is involved?
Well, the obvious question 'not' addressed in the article below concerning a divorce attorney, was after having sex with his client, was if there an accompanying fee reduction.
As such, FamilyLawCourts.com explains why children would be better protected if yellow police tape, warning,
"Crime Scene - - Do Not Enter"
was taped across court room doors of "family" courts
across the nation.
Unless there's documentation of crimes against
children;
custody needs to be split fifty-fifty.
The latest on parental alienation.
Poor Karen Anderson. Although herself a victim of parental alienation, as well as the Court facilitating the behavior of Anderson's ex by not enforcing visitation orders; Anderson plays right into the hands of the brainwashing parent, by calling parental alienation 'junk science' and winds up siding with the parent provoking parental alienation, causing the breakdown of family relationships. Unfortunately, while parental alienation decimates critical parent-child relationships, victims of parental alienation including Anderson, are so confused they wind up in an alliance with the abusive parent and assist in the breakdown of the parent-child relationship. The custody bill regarding this issue is back in the California legislature. A.B. 2587.
Actually, women and children would do well to avoid most female judges, as Judge Pamela Iles well demonstrates. Both Iles and Pollard demonstrate what Embroilment means.
Although some overseas courts are coming out of the dark ages and demonstrating children are important enough that their own voice is heard,
Not so in Orange County. The poor kids negatively impacted in the Peterson custody case presided over by Judge Pollard; owe much of the abuse to Pollard herself. Pollard's bias was evident in her refusal to hear direct evidence from the children, relying instead on their loser attorney, Diane Vargas. As such, Pollard herself is a key player in facilitating parental alienation. Best to exercise a pre-emptory challenge in her court as Pollard was resolute in not addressing why minor's counsel, Diane Vargas, never brought a single motion on behalf of her clients.
Vargus appeared too busy injecting her personal opinion instead of representing the wishes of the kids; including a sixteen year old demanding to be heard.
Actually, it's worse than that. Judge Pollard ordered the custody trial proceed, although Mrs. Peterson's attorney got off the case just prior to trial and new counsel's plea for a delay fell on deaf ears.
Although the bias of Judge Pollard is clear, in allowing the 'trial' to proceed even though there wasn't been an iota of discovery, one can only hope the appeals court will make case law in the area. But more important is the number of orders made by Pollard which are overturned on appeal. A number so large as to inspire a cottage industry in the field.
The conduct of Judge Pollard is especially disheartening for those who want to protect children. Unfortunately Pollard performed back-flips to ensure testimony opposite her bias would not make it to court. As the case involved a sham trial, Pollard's gag order functions nicely to hide her bias from public view. However, one thing is clear. The kids don't matter in her court; and she enforces orders at whim.
Otherwise, why have the kids been repeatedly featured on BRAVO with neither Vargas or Judge Pollard addressing the earlier gag order?
Will Vargas be relieved of counsel since she did not perform? Absolutely not. This gravy train is going to roll until possibly, college. Vargas might generate enough fees to at least dress like a professional. But only if she hires a stylist for help.
Still, Judge Pollard's bias is not just well documented, but is completely off-the-charts from initial orders, not recusing herself, the list is seemingly endless.
Whoever said money talks is half-right. In truth, as Judge Pollard demonstrates; it screams.
How sweet for millionaire George Peterson, who appears considerably less so, on paper. Fictional income and expense declarations might be examined in another court, but in Judge Pollard's court, Peterson has so far, gotten a free ride.
Yes, as Judge Pollard's court well demonstrates, family court is known as the Perjury Palace for good reason.
That said, we hope the original Mrs. Peterson consults a civil attorney for fraud.
More telling: What's the purpose behind Judge Pollard's Gag Order?
Although Judge Pollard is emotionally embroiled in the Peterson case, (and said on-the-record, she was sorry she took it), even the comatose would recognize this as fantasy.
When the words and the actions don't match, the truth is always in the action. Judge Pollard denied a 170.6 motion she recuse herself.
Our hope is Mrs. Peterson files a complaint with the largely useless CJP, for the simple reason any judge with as shockingly long and well documented record of bias against one litigant, deserves an investigation.
Why would Judge Pollard stay on the case? Send us your answer. Our guess television has turned her head. Or, perhaps the original Mrs. Peterson resembles someone Mr. Pollard likes.
One thing is clear. Judge Pollard is Exhibit A when it comes demonstrating how dangerous a family court judge can be.

Another domestic violence "expert witness" Dean Tong, arrested in Tampa, for domestic violence to his wife.
Please support Mrs. Tong, as Dean was also hired by the Darren Mack family and was soon blaming Mrs. Mack for her own murder.
Recent news: Darren Mack-the-Knife, Kneeling On His Dying Wife's Head - a knee jerk reaction in more ways than one.
That the Mack family has millions means Mack post-sentencing, is still able to get another hearing in his case. Of course money talks.
Or, as Family Court litigants are reminded daily -
the mantra of Family Court judges is, "Mo' business."
From the North Dakota's sexist laws which automatically determine
one parent is better than the other, to the Washington Supreme Court
demonstrating they favor our two-tiered, Pay-To-Play system
justice reigns in the case of housewife Brenda L. King from
Snohomish County. Eight amicus curiae briefs were filed mostly
by attorneys in support for indigent representation.
The state Attorney General supported the argument by King's husband, Michael King.
A 1975 state Supreme Court ruling allows indigent parents at risk of
losing their children to foster care the right to counsel.
The Washington Court said the stakes in divorces are not as high, and fundamental constitutional rights are not jeopardized if one parent
cannot afford a lawyer.
In dissent, Justice Barbara Madsen wrote that the "stakes were huge"
for Brenda King who was overwhelmed by the skilled lawyer representing her husband.
The mistake parents make is believing Family Court is not an industry;
and judges are public servants working for the public.
Eventually, and usually after exhausting all financial and
emotional
resources, litigants realize judges function to create work
for those
employed in the divorce and custody industry.
Are the Rules Different for Judges?
Of course. Consider the mother who was pressured to accept less
Child support so her deadbeat ex husband, a judge
could get out of jail.
Turns out, there are no new crimes. Only new people taking
bribes.
But as for the industry, it seems to take a while before unknowing
litigants realize they exist solely as fodder. A fuel source.
Children function as lighter fluid.
And so, those experiencing Divorce Court, the more accurate moniker,
realize judges act more like sales reps for all comers using the
"in the best interest of the child" as the marketing mantra.
The end result is in some cases, judges facilitate parental alienation.
Sometimes judges cause a parent to be killed.
Thus lives are lost and relationships destroyed because people
believed Family Court was supposed to work for all the people.
But Family Court litigants shouldn't take it personally.
It's just business. As Judges make draconian rulings, people break.

Pumphrey, and their three children, 12-year-old David,
10-year-old Meagan and 6-year-old Brandon in a park parking
lot.
We would likewise appreciate if the ABA ceased jumping into bed
with the Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
The business of government is business. However, Family Court more
resembles the circus always being in town.
What will make Family Court healthy?
As mentioned earlier, the ABA has caused great harm.
We'll get into that later,
but first, prosecuting perjury or at least sanctioning it would help.
Family court is where people first realize the Constitution which
promises we are free from government interference, is checked
at the door.
As Family Court became a police state, everyday people are now
subjected to massive amounts of governmental interference.
The intrusion of government into one's daily life is just
business. Nothing personal.
But it really is too bad the 6th Amendment was also jettisoned.
Because few realize by filing for divorce or custody, means inviting the
State to run one's life until the children reach the age of
majority.
This defines government invading one's home.
Does this read like the land of the free to you?
Consider how Judges dictating daily life for decades is
Excellent for business.
1. A judge will determine how often, where and when you can parent
your children.
2. A judge will decide if you can breast feed while on medication.
3. Vacations? A judge will decide how long any vacations you take may last.
4. A judge will also decide how long you are going to be away.
5. A judge will let you know where you are permitted to go, and
who may accompany you.
6. Been promoted? Not so fast. If it involves a move, a
judge will
get back to you about possibly taking your children.
(Remember this is an industry. There are firms one can hire
who will advise which school is best for your child. The sly
meaning
behind that is education trumps parenting.
7. Litigate everything. A judge will even decide who gets the dog!
San Diego's Judge Ashworth proved no decision is too small.
The sole issue of one childless, unhappy couple was the dog.
Ever an industry promoter, Judge Ashworth recommended
hiring experts. Ostensibly of course, this was to help
this Stanford
graduate decide custody. Legal fees were over $150,000.00.
(Naturally for this kind of dough Judge Ashworth enjoyed
attorneys slobbering to define him as "a distinguished jurist.")
* Ashworth's now doing "private judging" and brace yourself,
Ashworth even worse at JAMS than he was on the bench.
And one more thing. Ashworth has stated on-the-record he does not
believe in joint custody.
Put another way - What law? Ashworth and many "retired" judges
who think like him have flooded JAMS.
If you're considering private judging, consider the famous line uttered
by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry.
"Do you feel lucky today?"
8. Last, no smoking Mom and Dad.
But it's a good thing parents lose points for that.
Ergo, since family court evolved into an extremely intrusive
police state, prosecuting perjury, is really just community policing.
Cheaper too.
As with large police departments police going after the smaller
crimes in an effort to prevent more serious crimes from happening;
perjury prosecution coupled with severe sanctions will actually do
a lot towards ending our dysfunctional family court.
What else?
Our vote goes to the judge who jettisons supervised visitation, and
speaks to all parties, including children.
But isn't appointing an evaluator the first thing a judge does?
Exactly. Remember, the divorce and custody industry is largely an
arbitrary one. We recommend parents demanding to parent
without the stamp of a therapist. Common sense should rule.
Is this likely?
Enough squeaky wheels, enough pointing out the problems with certain individuals, things change.
This New Jersey case could be from anywhere.
What else
Just as supervised visitation should go the way of the cassette tape.
Judges should not delegate to an individual who has taken a couple of
Domestic violence classes and has a clean driving record.
Any bright spots?
Again, litigants should fight for their rights to divorce legal lobby
from the therapists lobby.
Thus litigants should question every pairing of therapist to lawyer.
Orders for court-appointed evaluators might be appealed.
Because when evaluators, therapists and CPS comes into the picture it
may already be too late. The highly regarded Dr. Willam H. Ayers,
being "Exhibit A" as Court officials continue to ignore
repeated complaints.
Thus, CPS and the Courts reveal will remain wholly and determinedly
ignorant to predators working within the system, aided by the judiciary.
After Judge Thomas McGinn Smith slashed Dr. Ayers 1.5 million dollar
bail by a full 80%, more charges were filed against him.
The good doctor told his victims "No one will believe you."
Indeed, when he came to court, he all but sneered.
However, sexual predators working in the system is not new.
Sometimes the crimes aren't against the child, but the entire family.
And the individual doing the damage has a license by the State.
Litigants should fight the lobby of the Association of Marriage and
Family Counselors with the ABA. For Heaven's sake Schools aren't teaching
what these "professionals" offer.
BREAKING NEWS:
NEW JERSEY FILES FIRST PARENTAL ALIENATION SUIT AS SEPARATE TORT.
The ABA released a paper concerning myths about the divorce
and custody industry as it pertains to domestic violence, and
how to counter them.
However, as the above release demonstrates, the ABA remains
almost irresponsibly behind when it comes to parental
alienation.
Parental alienation is akin to the Stockholm Syndrome and
does not need to be blessed by medical community. Parental
alienation is identified by a series of easily identifiable
behaviors as well as the results of those behaviors.
Behaviors judges refuse to address as parental alienation is
the source behind much litigation.
Victims of Parental alienation include children, the
targeted parent and extended family members. Some victims
exhibit the same symptoms and characteristics of those
afflicted with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (another
diagnosis "experts" spent years denying existed.)
The good news is we expect the ABA will correct their
"findings" within the next two years.
Fortunately, some courts are coming to their senses.
Best case example of egregious conduct ignoring parental right is;
Las Cruces, New Mexico - Judge James T. Martin.
Judge Martin of Dona Ana County in the Third Judicial District of New
Mexico in the case of DM-2007-408, is worth noting as Judge Martin
intends to enter an order granting sole legal and physical custody
of the two small daughters of Veronica Wilcox and Todd
Wiley,
to Kathy Meabon, sister of Todd Wiley, over the strenuous objections of mother, Veronica Wilcox.
Interestingly, Mr. Wiley did not object to losing custody rights.
Also not addressed? The assistant for the attorney represent-
ing Ms. Wilcox went to work for the the attorney representing Mr. Wiley.
Information refused by Judge Martin? The extensive porn collection
belonging to Todd Wiley was repeatedly disregarded by Judge
Martin, as was Wiley moving his daughters out-of-state
prior to the order being executed.
Also disregarded by Judge Martin,
was Veronica Wilcox strenuous objection to losing custody
when she had not been deemed an unfit parent while Mr.
Wiley expressed no remorse over the loss of his parental rights.
This case does provide however, an excellent demonstration
of how the business community gained. Prior to awarding
sole legal and physical custody to Kathy Meabon, Judge Martin,
ordered an evaluation to be performed by one Carol Burks on parents Veronica Wilcox,
Todd Wiley, and Kathy Meabon. Burks report was shocking.
Ms. Burks own report admits conclusive testing could not be
interpreted on two out of the three people involved.
Yet in response, Burks did not request further testing.
Neither did Burks reveal whether she sent testing out for
interpretation or interpreted the results herself.
Curiously, although Ms. Burks agreed to reference the porn
belonging to Todd Wiley in her report, she did not.
Perhaps results were beside the point.
It was noted in the request for the evaluation from Truth or
Consequences Municipal Schools, that speed was necessary as
one of the daughters - is suppose (sic) to be returning to
Ohio with her Aunt at this time. -
Burks report noted Mother, Veronica Wilcox took her
daughters to every medical appointment and school activity
while the father appeared distant. Missing from the report
however, was that Kathy Meabon wanted to return to her home
state of Ohio to additionally care for her dying husband.
Incredibly and with two of the three people not tested, and
the porn not mentioned, Burks recommended the children,
should be awarded to the paternal aunt.
When contacted earlier, Walter Rubel, editor of the Las Cruces
Sun, admitted the Sun did not cover Family Court. (Seemingly Las Cruces has little regard for children.)
As such, questions regarding the appropriateness of
evaluator Burks in a move-away custody ruling based on
incomplete evaluations and a deliberate omissions of facts by Carol Burks, should be addressed by both Judge Martin
and State officials.
Questions regarding why Ms. Wilcox who did not work outside
the home, was not offered vocational training. Questions
regarding why in a move-away case involving children of
tender years, did Judge Martin, not appoint a Guardian Ad Litem for
either daughter or why custody was awarded to the maternal aunt,
have not been addressed.
But most troubling is the continued reluctance of Judge Martin,
to accept evidence of the porn collection of Todd Wiley as
well as Wiley's lack of concern about losing custody.
Because the children are now under the care custody and
control of a woman who only saw them occasionally until late
2006, a woman who is now caring for a dying husband, and
whose psychological tests proved inconclusive, we will
continue to follow this case.
WHAT THE BRITNEY SPEARS CASE TELLS US ABOUT FAMILY COURT.
As the Spears case demonstrates - the reality is Family
Court works just fine for those employed in the divorce
and custody business.
Indeed, in some cases divorce has become a full employment act for attorneys
and therapists, which ultimately ties the parties together instead of helping them move on.
It doesn't help matters when judges allow themselves to decide who gets the dog.
We long for just one brave jurist to rule, "Enough. Work it out between you."
Until Britney, media seldom examined in the litigation friendly zone,
known as "Family Court."
Media has yet to discoverFamily Court remains the single largest unregulated,
under-the-radar, industry in the nation.
Plus, there's no shortage of people willing to make a buck in any way.
The Fictitious Samantha Woods, from South Carolina comes to mind.
Ms. Woods sells her dubious "services" to anyone, although a careful review
of her website reveals it's almost as if Ms. Woods is practicing law
without a license.
The State Bar in her State was advised of her activities; but given what
the State Bar allows from licensed attorneys we don't imagine they'll
take a pro-active approach. The local DA might be interested however.
That said, we do wonder why people would pay Ms. Woods anything.
Particularly since she didn't have insight enough to realize her husband was cheating
on her.
Ms. Woods might have a long career separating people from their money...although we favor using Monopoly money to anyone who refuses to use their real name.
If "family values" are truly our values, how long before media begins
to address the workings of family court as often as the criminal and civil
court?
After all, family court is the busiest court in the nation, so questions
The New Mexico case demonstrates money, not good parenting is the key
to the divorce industry. The New Mexico case is sadly typical of Parents
no longer being declared unfit to lose custody.
Wonder how things changed after a 1992 San Diego Grand Jury authored a their
"Families in Crisis" report referencing social workers who lie,
Here? These same types of individuals work
in CPS in mediation in family court and as this report demonstrates, it's gotten much worse.
Meanwhile, Parental alienation is now fully ingrained in our society,
but as the book "Children Held Hostage" clearly addresses: judges do not
want to be educated in this field and often continue rewarding the parent
responsible for brainwashing the child against the other parent; with custody.
The public would benefit from becoming aware the court system is the
last institution that should be inflicted on a child.
However, since adults are going to continue divorcing, the only sane
solution is to abolish Family Court, in favor of a general, civil court.
All parties would be on equal footing in a regular civil court.
Unfortunately, the court's draconian micro-managing is proving deadly to children and those adults, simply trying to leave a relationship.
In the infamouse Polk murder case, two out of their three sons, and
clearly victims of parental alienation, testified against Susan Polk.
Now comes the bill from the county.
As bizarre as the Polk case was, a lack of coverage of the busiest court
in the nation, the one court most used by the public, most often, and
for the longest period of time...is generally ignored by traditional media.
Yes, we're speaking of Crawford vs. Washington.
Confused? So were we. Of course you need help. It's worse than most
could ever imagine. Kids are the cash cows of the divorce and custody industry,
and the simple family law reality is,
Judges call the tune, those before them dance; and the name of the dance
is, The Money Tree Shake.
We received U.S. marketing material from BrutalDivorceTactics.com.
The material featured among other screechy material, the quote that John Welch
was "a favorite among Family Court Judges." We hope not, although
the film clip was priceless.
However, after reviewing the discipline records of records of Krystal Clemens, and
J. Curtis Cox, we recommend California attorneys opposing them,
along with Welch and Jeffrey L. Hoffer alert the court of their affiliation
with this marketing firm and all it represents.
We recommend the same for Florida member, Stephen T Holman. However, after speaking
to Tony Boggs, assistant to the director of the Legal Services for the
State Bar, we weren't encouraged. Although the Florida State Bar purports
to strive for professionalism, Mr. Boggs cited many reasons opposite their
stated intent, why they did not and would not
do so.
Lastly, we remind readers that in some states if an attorney has been privately
reprimanded, there may be no indication of such on that State's website.
Although BrutalDivorceTactics.com lists these individuals as a "dream team"
their cost and litigation producing tactics read more like a continuing nightmare
for all concerned.
Consider also the recent New York article as people are becoming more aware of the con of Family Court.
More chilling are two quick examples demonstrating the absolute brokenness
of family court. First, Stuart Greenberg, a Seattle child custody evaluator commits suicide after his arrest for video taping women in his office bathroom.
Missing from the story?
The name of the Family Court Judge who ordered the change in custody.
Past News: Alec Baldwin tape is the voice of parental alienation.
Two thoughts concerning the outrageously destructive message actor Alec Baldwin left for his daughter, Ireland, HERE
1. Baldwin's reaction was part of his frustration at the complete alienation of his daughter; and
2. In spite of numerous calls for the media to educate the nation, including judges; a male dominated media, with female journalists too afraid to fight to cover these important stories, continues. Generally, as reported here the mistakes are profound.
Fink is wrong; PAS is "gotten away with" in court routinely.
Judges do not want to know the details, and far too often valuable court
time is wasted arguing over whether parental alienation
is is "real" rather than examining the behaviors of the parent
who is brainwashing the child.
Also incorrect, Lorandos stating, "it was not uncommon for the alienating
parent to falsely accuse the target parent of physical, sexual or
emotional abuse of the child."
What is true is more shocking. Parents who report child abuse,
often lose custody. It's called shooting the messenger; and in family court
the messenger is routinely shot.
Bonnie Russell was the first to suspect, investigate, confirm and publish
parental alienation syndrome creator Richard, Gardner committed suicide.
Russell tipped a Newsday reporter got the facts right, but managed to miss the story.
The story being in cases of child abuse of a physical or sexual nature;
the abusing behavior is seldom examined because the abuser cries
"parental alienation" and investigations all but stop.
However, some government officials are beginning to catch on.
Next up: The many forms of parental alienation.
Though often judicially inspired, in the case of Rudy Guiliani,
he seems to have alienated his own children without judicial assist.
What is Parental Alienation?
Parental alienation, which always claims two victims; the child and
the targeted parent, occurs when one parent effectively brainwashes the
child against the targeted parent.
Does parental alienation only happen in child custody cases?
Usually. However, it's a global problem. This site receives mail from England,
France, New Zealand, all over the world. We've learned also
about the use of "surrogate programmers" who become involved,
albeit unwittingly. The brainwashing parent often cleverly employs the
use school officials to achieve his or her end, often by expressing "concern"
about the conduct of the other parent. Thus, school officials become
"recruited" without knowing they are a part of the process.
I've heard it's judicially triggered.
That's common. Especially in cases of real abuse. A parent making a
legitimate child abuse report is often accused by the abuser of attempting
to alienating the child.
What generally happens is valuable court time is wasted addressing
parental alienation; but seldom the actual abuse. Also, there
are many cases where crimes against children are ignored and the courts award
custody to the abuser.
More on that below, but consider any custody delay goes against the
best interests of the child. Below are two of the Worst cases of parental alienation, ever.
In the Nolan case, the judge managed to inflict, more harm.
Rather than return Dale's surviving son, the judge decided Dale was
"probably" neglecting her healthy son while caring for the now deceased Trevor,
although the judge was responsible in part for his death.
Based on no evidence the judge still refused to return the woman's healthy
son to her. It took another lawsuit, and thirty months, before mother was
able to rescue her surviving son from the clutches of the State of California.
The judge remains on the bench.
Bonnie Russell is pleased to announce a few years after she was the first
to suspect, investigate, confirm and publish parental alienation
syndrome creator Richard, Garnder committed suicide, some government officials
are beginning to catch on.
However, as stated in "Children Held Hostage," the courts remain
adamant in their refusal to become educated to the behaviors of one parent
alienating a child from the other.
Thus, judges refusing to educate themselves all but guarantee
judicially triggered alienation; and of course, high legal and "expert" fees
all around.
How it goes from bad to murder. The Mother of All Parental Alienation Cases.
Why don't the courts deal with parental alienation?
They do. Due to media not covering family court, Families don't realize
this is actually good for business. As stated earlier, the marketing mantra
being "the best interests of the child." Dealing with parental alienation
at the onset would put a severe crimp in the divorce and custody industry
if judges dealt with the offending behaviors.
But they do not. Instead, judges continue churning problems by refusing to
enforce orders, or continually asking for expert opinions, or worse,
appointing Guardian At Litems rather than allowing the children to speak for themselves, thus negating the Sixth Amendment right of confrontation.
In the summer of 2006, California justices signed a resolution
against continued education.
As judges remain determinedly ignorant, the parent reporting abuse continues
to lose custody; setting the stage for the other parent, usually the
more financially capable parent to more easily commit the alienation.
Yet in spite of cases like Natascha Kampusch. Shawn Hornbeck or Elizabeth Smart,
there remains a few people who claim parental alienation is not medically
"defined" and therefore cannot by a "syndrome" or, even exist.
Some states are introducing legislation to require jury trials in
custody cases, as jurors appear to be able to grasp what judges refuse.
Considering the criminal proceeding against Jonea Rogers from Marin County.
Jurors reacted quickly with sadly, a most uncommon verdict.
Because not all judges are created equally, attorneys have long standing
practice of consulting various bar reports on judges in addition to
asking around. Now litigants can also be prepared.
Divorce and custody is about more than loss; although it is that. More often
it's about Control and as demonstrated by
the late Peter Maas involving a custody case after a murder, an illegal adoption, and a war between judges in two states, Family Court is completely out-of-control.
Shawn Hornbeck: Oh no, it's dejua vu Elizabeth Smart and Patty Hearst.
If you don't understand, then you are right: you don't understand.
Parental Alienation To Center Stage.
Just as Elizabeth Smart, who didn't try to run from her kidnappers
when they were away from her for a few days when camping in the San
Diego desert, sometimes it takes years of police work, before
victims are able to leave their abductors. And then they might
feel remorse. Click on the Jaco Report for this St. Louis parental alienation story.
Parental alienation is not only in the U.S. It's international,
of course. It bars no nation, race or creed. It's in government;
as this story of a government agent in the Philippines, demonstrates.
The Naatascha Kampusch kidnap is probably the
best example of parental alienation. Kampuch's kidnap demonstrates the
long term effects to children and parents legally or illegally isolated from each other.
FamilyLawCourts.com looks forward to traditional media to expose the state's
largest, unregulated, completely out-of-control divorce and custody industry.
Indeed, California lobbyists for the Marriage and Family therapists hired
in 2005, introduced legislation mandating six hours of "educational"
counseling in the event of a divorce involving children; or the divorce
may not proceed.
Think the California State Bar is on top of things? Might want to rethink that.
Missing from the recent LA Times piece featuring former high ranking Sheriff George Jaramillo doing his prison time in a private jail, is that the California State Bar informs the public Jarmillo is an attorney in good standing. Perhaps they should keep up with the "J" section of Frank O'Pedia.

Returning to the reality of family court: no news flash here; but judges fail to realize protracted litigation drives people crazy.
Yet judges who retire to "private" judging, or posing as authors, continue to their pockets beyond pensions by knocking the courts, and hoping we don't remember they were the engineers of the divorce machine.
Don't Buy This Book.
Too savage for the business world and ignoring that his conduct was a huge part of the problem, Roderic Duncan's greed, after a lifetime of allowing attorneys and therapists to feast on the bones and bank accounts of anyone in his court; now turns book author, in a book about avoiding divorce court, to get his own slice of the PRE-litigant pie.
Or, as Duncan's pr person trilled:
"Judge Blasts Divorce Court in Nolo Book"
BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--'Whatever you do, try to keep your case out of divorce court' the system stinks,' writes Judge Roderic Duncan in A Judge's Guide to Divorce: Uncommon Advice from the Bench, new from Nolo. "But if your spouse won't cooperate and you must go, here's everything you need to know about surviving the ordeal.
The veteran divorce-court judge reveals court as a clumsy tool for breaking up a family. It's adversarial, intrusive and costly."
Perhaps the funniest line of this press release was:
"When the law and fairness don't jive, the judge must side with the law."
Right. Anyone in "family" court more than thirty seconds can testify the law is seldom used. So Roderic Duncan Now recommends you and your spouse reach your own agreements, after buying his book of course.
In the "Is this guy for real," department: a resounding Yes. Duncan's utterly real, beyond greedy, and he wants your dollars. Don't fall for it. Ask a library to order a copy if you want to read it. However, our emails suggest Duncan was as depraved as those litigants he now disparages. We remember it was Roderic Duncan who went after the people who exposed Judge Michael Dufficy. Could anyone be moretwo-faced?
Now what?
Abolishing Family Court makes sense. Doing so would greatly reduce the clubby atmosphere that's replaced the laws of the land.
We continue to look for the one judge willing to stand up and say,
"Just as no marriage is perfect, neither is any divorce. Unless there's documented evidence of abuse; deal with it. Now pretend you have your children's best interests at heart and go home and deal with it."
What? And end the divorce and custody industry?
So we have to do it ourselves. Please join us in boycotting Cumberland House Publishers, (a house which already issuing and retracting Other misleading statements) which recently inked a book deal with Stephen Baskerville, known for his frothy, anti female bias, especially in a divorce situation. Write for details.
Some cases are high conflict; yet the participants (aka: dead people) have no idea.
Ivy League Professor Ralph Robb charged in Wife's murder. She said she was going to divorce him. Thanks to a lack of even adequate press coverage, many women have no idea their husband's think like Scott Peterson.
It is not the mission of this website to show how biased the media remains, although we do that too.
And that some elected officials believe no child is too poor to Exploit.
The mission of this website is two-fold:
To explain how Congress and family court judges function as litigation producing machines for the benefit of attorneys, evaluators, therapists; (come one, come all); and:
To demonstrate the profits behind "domestic violence."
As such this site also tracks the lengths elected officials will travel to make sure big business profits at the expense of children. In that vein, no one can top former tobacco lobbyist and current Mississippi governor, Haley Barbour.
Look to your neighbors, school administrators and church members all too busy with their concerns, to value yours.
Consider State agencies. Well, only if you have the stomach for it.
Now that we've dispensed with how adults in charge, care about children...
There is a solution when it comes to divorce. With the bulk of history on this site, we hope divorcing couples consider why they would allow the courts to dictate their lives. Instead, parents might opt to function one last time in their chilren's best interest, and work out their differences via stipulation. Visit court once; to ask that the Court execute their Stipulation. This way the Courts would be the last stop instead of the first. By doing this the emotional and financial health remains with the families.
Of course this sane idea is beyond the reach of some.
FamilyLawCourts.com addresses media bias, including failure of press to identify judges presiding over hearings canceling restraining orders, with deadly results.
The most recent example being The San Diego Union Tribune's "report" of the murder of Peggy Chillis. Readers were not educated as to the name of the judge who at least twice dropped the restraining orders requested by the now dead Ms. Chillis. The Union-Tribune might have a policy of protecting the judges, instead of educating the public; including future litigants. We are in the process of determining if any other judge, besides the Honorable Patricia Garcia had a hand in turning down Ms. Chillis' requests and for protection, as did Commissioner Alan B. Clements. That neither recongized Battered Women's Syndrome ultimately lead to her death. Scarier still is that Clements is a former cop.
FamilyLawCourts.com also demonstrates how the courts are geared to use children as an income source for all comers. Usually the individual with the most money wins. This includes when one of the parties dies, and the attorneys sue for interest on a judgment.
And trying to hold judges accountable; with the CJP is a lost cause because of expensive Court Transcripts. Getting them however, is a stall tactic Court reporters use often with a wink from the court.
The national exception being attorney, H. Beatty Chadwick, who appears very committed to keeping all the money.
Anyone believing government is seriously interested in the welfare of children, we need say two words.Mark Foley. But it isn't as if Mark Foley acts (yes, we're keep it real. Meaning the present tense) alone. Mark Foley has a boat load of company, all Elected officials.
So why does anyone believe judges try to resolve cases quickly and in the "best interests of the children? Consider the story of Teresa Lauderdale, a Houston woman who spent nearly 300k (custody 'evaluations') and years in what should have been a simple divorce. Scan the latest brochure from the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. (complete with the biased phrase, "Maternal gatekeeping" in Section Nine) to truly understand the divorce and custody industry itself, rocked with bias, functions only to Deplete the emotional and economic resources of those uncoupling for the benefit of various "professionals."
All is not lost. It's all about judicial transparency, something not offered by state officials. However, those interested in educating others can Pay it forward.Those interested in getting the lay of the land judicially speaking, can purchase the reports of others. to decide how, or what to do about a particular jurist.
Returning to the process of parental alienation litigation remains a potent gold mine.
Although reporting abuse only to lose custody, sounds crazy; it's crazy like a fox as judges continue to refuse to be educated in general, (California judges passed resolutions against mandatory judicial continuing education) and specifically in the area of parental alienation. This determined ignorance; while ordering evaluations in sales rep fashion, is the spark to soaring litigation costs.
Because loss endures, people continually return to court to replace loss. In so doing and distracted by their loss, family court litigants don't notice neither the greed factor, or that Family Court is an unregulated, unmonitored, institutional industry.
FamilyLawCourts.com examines media bias. It educates the reader to the lack of investigative work by media and the Commission on Judicial Performance in the area the one court people visit most.
No investigations or media attention results in the courts micro-managing the lives and bank accounts of millions. This can continue until their children reach the age of majority.
And the brightest spot for those in the divorce and custody industry is parental alienation. Alienation remains the favored tactic of attorneys for its ability to greatly expand legal fees; and those who expend enormous amounts of time claiming parental alienation is not a syndrome. To that end, judges are happily distracted from examining the behaviors of a person brainwashing a child, which if examined; resemble those in kidnap situations.
"Children Held Hostage" addresses judges being uneducated in the area of parental alienation; and more importantly, confirms judges have no desire to learn. This is not bias. True to form, California judges recently passed a resolution stating they oppose continuing education in general.
As family court has no "beat reporter" the general public remains unaware family court is completely about: business. The business of continued litigation at the expense of all involved for the benefit of attorneys and anyone involved in the divorce and custody industry.
One headline writer missed the point entirely with:"Family Court On Trial." The problem being Family Court is never on trial.
Traditional fails to inform Family Court is run much like Halliburton. The result of scant media attention and no real accountability is Judges churn the industry by awarding no-bid contracts for legal fees, supervised visitation, evaluators and therapists.
As traditional media continues ignoring the one court people most visit; divorcing couples turn to crime. White collar or deadly, there's nothing quite like Blowing up the family home. to make a point.
Traditional media standards dictate that blowing up the family home typically results in three days of steady coverage without one examining underlying factors prior to the story slipping from the pages. (Especially since the suspect husband/bomber died a couple days later.)
People turned to the internet after traditional media fails.
Family Court: A Perjury Palace.
One simple fact remains. The divorce and custody industry will unravel and end, *if* judges recommended prosecution for perjury. However, as the business of government is business, and perjury prosecutions will curtail the divorce industry, it won't happen without the public demanding it.
What does traditional media miss?
Two key elements. First, the profit factor involved for those employed in the divorce and custody industry. Harder to prove but worth an investigation is second; undue influence. In the country's latest family-to-criminal-court family murder and judicial shooting; traditional media hasn't yet questioned Darren Mack's three meetings with the District Attorney about the way his divorce was being handled as out of the ordinary.
What about investigating judges?
Judicial robes are the theatrical attire used to enhance the illusion of judicial impartiality. In spite of volumes of evidence indicating otherwise, traditional media is not in any hurry to kill the myth of impartiality.
And yet evidence continues to mount. Especially in relationships. see South Dakota's Amendment E.
Crabtree preyed on kids physically and emotionally. As bad as he was and that is, traditional media ignores judges using children daily, as marketing tools for attorneys, therapists, evaluation monitors and paid supervised visitation monitors, (although volunteer services are allowed by law).
Murder Suspect, Darren Mack in custody.
(Note the media demonstrating one's worth in the headline. Although Mack's wife was murdered, the media concern was mostly with Mack being a suspect in the shooting a judge).
Although providing national examples,
Attorney indicted in divorce case. . . .when it comes to high profile cases, the media generally accidentally demonstrates how power (worth) shakes out.
Media bias began in Reno's Charla Mack murder, almost immediately.
Grant Stitt, Chairman of University of Nevada, Reno Criminal Justice Department, was quoted in the Reno Gazette Journal describing the killing of Mack's wife "as a crime of passion" adding "Weller's shooting seemed premeditated."
It's extremely worrisome when the head of an entire Justice Department in an Educational setting confuses "passion" with the premeditated actions of an individual whose response to losing power over a woman in a divorce situation, is looking to kill her.
We thought confusing "passion" verb; instead of "rage over losing control" was settled in the eighties. Never mind that Stitt who seems not to have been there, was happy to opine he thought Charla Mack's murder wasn't premeditated. More worrisome is Stitt and his fifties mindset is heading the Justice Department.
However, careful readers observe traditional media clearly deems which life is more important. As repeatedly evidenced, the judge is considered more important than the now dead Mrs. Mack. Evidence of sloppy reporting appeared moments after the shooting:
ABC: Wasn't Mrs. Mack killed First?
And of course, no surprises as the Suspect's wife found murdered. But lets be clear where the priorities lie. The judge is alive. Charla Mack is not. Darren Mack's financial threats during their divorce wasn't merely standard hardball tactics. It was routine. Three meetings with the DA proved he lost his patience waiting for the fix to be in.
"You either accept what I'm offering or I'll drive us into bankruptcy." When the by now standard bankruptcy tactic didn't work, Mack could have gone for the been less expensive, parental alienation card. Judges respond more favorably to that. However, this being family court; traditional media hasn't made the connection between a pre-murder bankruptcy filing; and a post-murder hiring of an expensive legal team.
More media bias.
The general lack of understanding can be found in the title of a recent article the Salt Lake Tribune on "parental alienation."
Separate from being the ideal way to run up litigation costs for all concerned, is why don't judges listen to children when doing so would Decrease costs? Not doing so is more than not affording children their voice. It demonstrates Family Court as the full on employment act for attorneys and therapists it is.
Underlying issues.
Need Support or Restraining Orders?
Not a Problem.
Need help Enforcing support or restraining orders?
Big problem. Big, big problem.
Nevada's Charla Mack had spousal and child support orders. She also had trouble collecting. Meanwhile, Mack filed bankruptcy and continued maintaining a playboy millionaire lifestyle. Currently Mack has a Team of lawyers and traditional press has largely forgotten he ever filed bankruptcy.
Why didn't Darren Mack use the parental alienation card?
When all else fails, abusive types with unlimited funds frequently opt for parental alienation because it's cost effective and frequently only an allegation results in a change of custody.
In another area of the watch dog press asleep at the wheel, the public isn't aware of parental alienation as a litigation tactic; or that judges allow valuable court time to be wasted debating whether it's a "Syndrome" (it's not) instead of examining the behaviors of one parent's attempts to brainwash the child against the other.
Utah kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart remains the best example of how easily it is to brainwash a child. Taken barefoot and at knifepoint from her family home; Smart lived for months in a nearby hovel on the mountain behind her parents home. Later, when left alone for two days in a desert campsite outside San Diego, Smart made no effort to escape.
When first rescued, Smart denied it was her.
Smart was alienated during and after a crime. As children of a divorce are unaware they are victims of subtle or outright brainwashing, parental alienation remains an effective litigation tactic.
Bonnie Russell was the first to suspect, investigate, confirm and publish Dr. Richard Gardner, who coined the phrase "Parental Alienation Syndrome" committed suicide. Prior to her investigation the media had merely
republished a statement from Gardner's family that he died in his sleep. Startlingly, Russell discovered Judges throughout the nation awarding custody to abusers, who are usually better equipped financially to hire experts to "shoot the messenger" - generally the parent who initially requested the court protect the child.
Russell has also discovered fake therapists and attorneys, operating freely in San Diego and others Courts; and judges who know (such as San Diego's judges Randa Trapp, and Bill Howatt), but don't care.
As such, and decades after the media ignoring family court, anyone surprised a family law attorney, or a family court judge is shot, is guilty of not paying attention.
But there is good news.
The public is becoming aware judges are as prone to bias as every one else. However, judges have the ability to turn their bias into a deadly outcome. Given the number of women and kids who ask for protection but are killed each year; it was only a matter of time before another nut case father angry over financial matters opted to kill his wife, the mother of his child, and try for the judge too.
San Diego. A local example of out-of-control, family courts.
San Diego Family Court judges such as Randa Trapp and William Howatt best demonstrate why one should not entrust the care of one's family to a family court judge.
Trapp continually orders litigants to Hannah's House, a visitation center whose founder was fined $2,400.00 by the State for practicing therapy without a license, whose business license was once suspended by the Secretary of State - (a fact concealed from judges), and whose facility, a Health & Human Services investigation determined, was filthy And unsafe for children. However, the San Diego facility remains a judicial favorite.
After founder Susan Griffin misrepresented her educational qualifications and couldn't explain how grant money was spent, H&HS made her pay restitution.
Judges stepped in to help.
Parents increasingly found themselves ordered to Hannah's House, as judges stepped in to assist her restitution payments. Likewise, the police refused to prosecute.
As such, while Griffin remains the poster girl for "the worst interests of the child" traditional media is not examining the costs from judges aiding and abetting profits to the industry at the expense of children.
That Judge Trapp was "endorsed" by the entire San Diego bench in a recent election, speaks volumes about "the best interests of the child." It's simply not possible for judges to care any less about children, and more about helping those operating in the industry.
What judge can resist? the urge to rule on the Tiniest of issues?
Children become less parented, but raised by court order as parents with resources, demonstrate their willingness to litigate over any matter. It's fabulous for the industry, which is after all, the point.
Continuing in the area of, "How Stupid Can Things Get?" We offer:
Virginia Senator; Jay O'Brien.
O'Brien is sponsoring a bill to allow judges to include "virtual visitation" � e-mail, instant messaging, etc. � in child-custody proceedings, stating:
"Suppose there's a divorce with joint custody, but the wife has primary custody because the children live with her," he said. "It's reasonable to think the dad could communicate with his children when he doesn't see them. This gives him the legal authority to do that."
It seems O'Brien is unaware contact between parties is not prohibited, and one needn't legislate for what one already has.
We invite you to call Senator O'Brien, at 804-698-7539, or Email him your thoughts at

How many courts or attorneys follow ABA approved guidelines when representing children? (Note: Representing children is Different than representing the "Best interests of the children") in custody issues.
ABA Guidelines
In the Michael Jackson custody case Judge Steven Lachs admitted he did not follow the best interests of the children when he allowed the termination of mother's right to parent. This explains why his order was overturned on February 15, 2006.
It's not that many people believe their attorneys are licensed, although they do, it's that State Bars who know about fakes, circumvent the criminal justice system by Not reporting them to local authorities.Phoenix Fake Update;
Feinstein, who hails from Marin County, undoubtedly remembers Marin County DA Paula Kamena faced a recall after the Marin County Grand Jury voted to investigate Family Court judges for bias, which Kamena stopped. Voters promptly Revolted. Why would Feinstein or the FBI get involved when the long, documented history of Family Court shows judges favoring fakes working in Family Court?
Feinstein did speak out, saying the system failed Paula Oldham, who was imprisoned for attempting to protect her daughter. Although the San Diego case presents no abuse allegations, the issues remain the same - sexist judges - ignoring the standard of the best interests of the child.
(Not addressed is why the father didn't react pragmatically as do any number of mothers when the other parent relocates. They simply get on a plane, find work, establish residence, and then petition government for custody.)

Returning to family court, newspaper reports have New Yorkers continuing to believe "No Fault" divorce will make their divorces faster and less expensive. Not true. Most don't realize a high percentage of judges are Ex-prosecutors and as ex-prosecutors, look to assign blame and order, more industry services.
This site explains why the divorce and custody industry will remain an exceptionally lucrative field for attorneys, therapists, evaluators and visitation monitors.
The industry is safe until perjury is prosecuted. However, trying to get the police to file reports, is a separate, long term, but lucrative failure.
Unfortunately and for a variety of reasons, media also has a part in the failure of family court.
Family court lessons includes:
Media Ignorance and/or Bias
The public remains unaware media has a role in the public lack of awareness of basic, family court realities. But the good news is readers can alert local reporters who are always looking for local examples of national issues. This site is the reader's opportunity to alert reporters of:
1. The Constitution is checked at the door of Family Court,
2. Local police are a huge part of the problem, and
3. Readers can educate media family court is not a, "he said, she said" but an unregulated, out-of-control industry, including fake lawyers and therapists operating within the industry.
(That's separate from illegal incarcerations, and people winding up dead or injured due to police inaction.)
A complete lack of media awareness was recently made in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in the case of Editor Mike Arnold, who hotly defended a lack of complete coverage concerning the police not investigating claims made by Joyce Steyne before her arrest, although Steyne repeatedly tried to enlist police aid.
Amazingly, Adams defended the paper's coverage during the same period of time the paper was covering the trial of police harassment at the Cumberland County Sheriffs Office; including reporting harassment reached such levels in 1999 and 2000 that an assistant county attorney considered some instances tantamount to assault. Why didn't he connect the dots? We don't know. We only know this is terribly common.
However Adams when began speaking about his own custody case. Suddenly, it all made sense.
Adams is not acting in a vacuum. This same scene is repeatedly daily throughout the county.
The short version is: Report abuse, go to jail. First reported in the Washington Post in a December 26, 2001 article, titled "Turning Victims Into Suspects" this practice has now been documented over a 15 year period in two documentaries), but not in the general media.
Meanwhile, the Family Court industry thrives.
The very First lesson divorcing couples learn is:
1. Judges act as sales reps. Litigants are merely the fuel source for attorneys, therapists, visitation monitors, evaluators, etc. Here's one Example. But wait, there's More. Okay, that's for the parents.
The Second lesson for parents is:
2. This is also true for their children. Sometimes, judicial disregard for children quickly proves deadly.
Need more proof? No problem. Say nobody dies, but your lawyer completely screws up. Well, tough. If the Bar acts at all, it does so at glacial speed. Some district attorneys move fast, while some, in the case of Riverside county, can't be moved at all.
However State Bars in most states, Won't refer cases for prosecution, preferring the more clubby, "lets take care of this internally" to real live criminal charges.
In fact, it's actually worse when fake attorneys are involved. The real crime is The Arizona Bar who kept sending complaints on Gary Karpin to the Attorney General, who did nothing, instead of the Maricopa District Attorney for Thirteen years. Why?
According to Phoenix sources, although officials were aware of Karin as early as 1993, in 1996, no less than Sixteen complaints were filed against the disbarred Vermont attorney, Gary Jay Karpin. which was by all accounts, a complete waste of time.
The question not asked, is why government officials, deliberately and continually fail to protect the public?
On a yearly basis, how many complaints do bar officials receive from the public, and of those, how many are sent to state officials for prosecution? The Answer is: not enough.
In short, when it comes to protecting the public from fake attorneys, doctors and therapists, family court litigants can rely on government officials to protect them every bit as much as government officials did for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Sometimes one must consider what doesn't receive a focus.
If you're considering the services of a visitation monitor, might want to skip Susan Griffin's "Hannah House" run by her son. For more on their problems with officials, see Ongoing Bias
section of the site, which includes the Secretary of State Suspending her corporation from January to March of 2005.
Hannah's House is just one example of am almost complete lack of oversight in the area of Supervised Visitation. For details see the North County Times article concerning this useless burden the courts place on litigants. Supervised Visitation: little oversight; no accountability.

Returning to the topic of custody cases, the general public is becoming increasingly aware, how large child custody problem are, including internationally.
Mom Who Fled to China Gets New Hearing.
FamilyLawCourts.com was the first to suspect, investigate, confirm and publish the suicide of Dr. Richard Gardner, mentioned in the below PBS documentary on Parental alienation. We also have a track record of exposing fake attorneys and therapists. The fake attorneys the fake attorneys have been prosecuted. But in San Diego, the fake therapist paired up with the San Diego Police Department and the Family Justice Center.
That said; FIRST THINGS FIRST. Before Hiring ANY Attorney, contact the State Bar To Make Sure the Attorney Is Licensed. A number of attorneys continue to "practice" while suspended, or disbarred. The Good news is a trend towards prosecuting disbarred or forced-to-resign, former attorneys, shows some signs of life.
The Gary Karpin Hotline number is: 602-372-7777. We encourage Karpin's victims cooperate fully with authorities. It's said Michael Urbano, Karpin's stick-dumb, uncouth, original attorney, recognized that intellectually, he was in far over his head, and is cooperating with officals. More on this case, is available in another portion of the site. (Interestingly, Karpin's son, Gary J. Karpin, Jr., was also jailed on theft charges.) Karpin was originally disbarred in Vermont. Maine officials, we're happy to report, served Karpin in jail to have him disbarred there.

Meanwhile, the bad news continues. Judges making intolerable orders spark killings as reporters continue missing the elemental basics. Family court is a wholly unregulated industry, receiving scant media attention.
And if the parent abusing a child is an attorney, such as Mark Barber. judges usually all but perform backflips to protect them from the bench. Next comes alienation.
An alienated child ultimately often bonds with the brainwashing parent, who, after first legally isolating the child, uses a variety of brainwashing tactics, before succeeding in rewriting the child's history. Some children overcome alienation, eventually figuring out no parent professing "love" acts to cut the other parent out of their lives, or physically abuses them. Some children match Symptoms of alienation with their own experience, and put it together. However, most don't large numbers of children like Brenna Barber, can not.
Mark Barber escaped prosecution for child abuse in Marin County and moved to San Diego, where he knew he would not be held accountable. San Diego is a haven for Mark Barber, and people like him, are more common than anyone suspects.
Parental alienation was also a factor in the divorce-to-murder trial of Susan Polk. Polk's husband was a therapist, and knew how to manipulate divorce and custody situations.
