Child Support - The System

FBI Director: Mortgage Fraud Substantial

AP Online via NewsEdge Corporation :

HONOLULU_FBI Director Robert Mueller said Thursday that the agency is committed to investigating and prosecuting companies involved in mortgage fraud and other violations in connection with home loans made to risky borrowers.

Mueller said probes were being conducted across the country, including in Hawaii, where he stopped on his way back from a trip through Asia.

"There is not a state that does not have some investigation," he told reporters at the FBI office in Honolulu. "It is a substantial problem but we've been through problems like this in the past."

The FBI said Tuesday it was working with the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate 14 companies, from mortgage lenders to investment banks, for possible accounting fraud, insider trading or other issues connected to subprime mortgage lending.

Mueller declined to identify the companies.

The FBI allocated substantial manpower and resources to address the savings and loan crisis in the early 1990s and corporate fraud earlier this decade, and Mueller said he was prepared to do the same to address fraudulent lenders.

"I anticipate that we will see the same extensive investigations that we saw then with successful prosecutions following those investigations," Mueller said.

As the nation's housing crisis worsens, there has been a dramatic spike in the number of mortgage fraud cases under investigation. An FBI spokesman said 1,210 such cases are open, up from roughly 800 a year ago.

The bureau is looking into the practices of so-called subprime lenders, as well as potential accounting fraud by financial firms that hold subprime loans on their books or securitize them and sell them to other investors.

During his trip to Asia, Mueller met Chinese officials in charge of security for this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing. He also was in Cambodia to inaugurate an FBI office at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh.

IRS Has $110 Million in Refund Checks Looking for a Home

IR-2007-189, Nov. 14, 2007

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is looking for 115,478 taxpayers who are due refund checks worth about $110 million after the checks were returned as undeliverable.

The refund checks, averaging about $953, can be claimed as soon as taxpayers update their addresses with the IRS. Some taxpayers have more than one check waiting.

“Taxpayers should not miss out on getting their money back,” said Richard Morgante, commissioner of the IRS Wage and Investment Division. ”The IRS makes it as easy as possible for taxpayers to update their addresses and claim their refunds.”

The “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov enables taxpayers to check the status of their refunds. A taxpayer must submit his or her social security number, filing status and amount of refund shown on their 2006 return. The tool will provide the status of their refund and in some cases provide instructions on how to resolve delivery problems.

Taxpayers can access a telephone version of “Where’s My Refund?” by calling 1-800-829-1954.

CHILD SUPPORT CASUALTIES

CHILD SUPPORT CASUALTIES

Ed Ward, MD

Randy Orville Brouse, 33, of Illinois, when jailed for felony failure
to pay child support, hung himself on July 21, 2003. Prior to his
death, he was one of 50 Hillsdale County's "Most Wanted". All are
alleged to be dangerous and wanted "for serious and often violent
crimes". In fact, more than 60% are wanted only for failure to pay
child support. The Hillsdale's dangerous, "Most Wanted" list of
those unable to pay the court ordered amount of child support
consists of 32 people of the 51 Most Wanted. Randy is still on the
list. How many of these dangerous felons will take Randy's place on
the Hillsdale mortuary slab before these atrocities end?

According to the unConstitutional family court's rulings, that made
the "Most Wanted" financially responsible for amounts they are unable
to pay and visitors to their children, the public is to believe these
32 parents would rather, have their driver's license revoked, lose
their voting rights, lose access to firearms for defense of home and
self-protection, lose their job and ability to find a job, be
incarcerated and even to be forced to the point of taking their own
lives, than pay money to support their children. The problem is,
even after their children have been stolen from them, most have paid
all they can and are NOT ABLE to pay anymore.

Trevor Goddard, 37, of North Hollywood, California, committed suicide
on June 8, 2003. Goddard was at the height of his career. His
credits include, Mortal Kombat, Men of War, JAG, Deep Rising, Gone in
60 Seconds, and the recently released, Pirates of the Caribbean. Few
know that Trevor was in the middle of a divorce and finding out just
what that means to a loving father. There were many articles on his
death, but, only one mentioned his pending divorce.

Unknown man, unknown age, of Kendallville, Indiana, committed
possible suicide in the only article released on his death. There
was no response, the typical media response, to the email sent by his
close friend to the 22 email addresses at kpc news. When this
article is pubished, the author will send them the address of this
article, the name of the unknown man, the link to their story, the
link to the email to them, ask them their secrets to sound sleep and
ask them, again, to do a follow-up story on James Betzner. They must
have some great remedies to sleep after ignoring the email sent to
them and still not publishing another story. Will those remedies
work for the next unknown man article?

Robert R Steadman, 33, of Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania, hung
himself in April, 2003 during his second imprisonment for failure to
pay child support. Since Robert was only one sentence of the story
dealing with suicide watch policy changing for that prison, it is
unknown if this second jailing was a 90 day recycle. The recycle is
a jail term of 90 days. After 90 days, the prisoner is released,
only to be greeted by another incarceration for failure to pay child
support for 90 days and the cycle is continued.

Reinaldo Rivera, 25, of New Jersey was jailed for failure to pay
child support. He hung himself with a sheet after one week in jail
in April, 2003.

Mark Edward Dexel, 42, of Canada hung himself on January, 23, 2003 in
a Kamloops motel after he was banned from seeing his son by the
Canadian family courts.

Derrick K. Miller, 43, of San Diego, California, walked up the steps
courthouse steps to the San Diego family court's security guard on
January 7, 2002. Miller had recently been judged to pay support he
obviously did not have. While holding his divorce papers in one hand
and pulling a pistol in the other, he told the guard, "You did this
to me!". Derrick quickly pulled the trigger, on the only option left
to him and many other fathers, that sent a bullet through his head
and died.

Carl Tarzwell, Jr., 37, was arrested on June 20, 2001, for failing to
pay child support. Carl hung himself within a few hours of being
jailed. Carl's death was revealed in a November, 2001, article
dealing with excessive suicides in prison.

James Gunter, 45, an emergency services police officer, described
as "one of those steely, go-to guys, a natural in a crisis", took his
life on the third try while incarcerated for the third time. James
was arrested for failing to pay child support and failing to stay
away from his ex-wife. Gunter's daughter stated, "He couldn't stand
to be away from his kids,". James Gunter found peace on September
15, 2000. It was not until March 24, 2002 that Jame's story became
noted by the press in a story about jails being at fault for lack of
care in suicides.

Randy Johnson, 34, of Sommerset, Kentucky hung himself on the second
day of his incarceration for felony failure to pay child support in
January, 2001. He could have been sentenced to 5 years. Johnson
worked for the Sugar Shack making donuts. His employer said he was
trying to lead a new life. Johnson's story is revealed in an article
about suicides in Boyle County prison.

Darren Bruce White, 34, of B.C., Canada, killed himself sometime
between March 12, 2000 and March 17, 2000, when his body was found.
Darren's suicide came shortly after a court ruling he was capable,
something US family courts are also known to do as attested by the
author in his personal experience, of paying $2,071 a month in
support. The court had no concern that he was paying $439 a month
support in his first marriage and was only making $950 a month
salary. White's daughter, Ashlee, expresses her grief regarding the
current system.

Dimitrius Underwood, 22, the defensive end for the Miami Dolphins,
slashed his throat with a kitchen knife when the Lansing police tried
to arrest him for failing to pay child support. Dimitrius's story,
due to his notoriety, was published quickly on September 28, 1999.
But, as usual, the article only dealt with the effect and not the
cause.

David Guinn, 38, incarcerated for probation violations and was behind
on his child support, hung himself on November, 1998.

James A. Poore, 33, of Bristol, Tennessee, arrested for failing to
appear at a child custody hearing, found a shotgun while on a work
release program and promptly blew a hole in his chest in March,
1999. Sheriff Eddie Barnes stated it would not stop the work release
program.

Kenneth Taylor, 40, of Nebraska, hung himself while jailed for felony
child support in November, 1999.

Every year 24,000 men commit suicide. Every 22 minutes one male
commits suicide. Based on the fact that a divorced male is 2.5 to 3
times more likely to commit suicide than the average male, the
estimate for divorced men, most likely fathers since there is
tremendously more trauma placed on them, committing suicide every
year would be 15,000 to 18,000 men.
When will it stop? How will it stop? Where is the men's backlash?
Many splintered equal parenting groups are asking the same
questions.

One small group of 13 fathers, Hunger Strike for Justice, has pledged
to start a hunger strike on September 25, 2003 in an effort to break
the media blockade and the lack of government address of family,
children and individual rights. Their determination, resolve and
effectiveness is yet to be tested, but, they have had enough of
injustice.

Felons can't vote. The dead can't demonstrate. Men running from
incarceration can't take legal remedies. Jail severely limits
protesting and information dissemination. Those that are stretched
to their limit have neither the effort, nor the time to do very much,
except to be with their children when they can, if they can. Many
that would fight this deadly system see no hope and have been
crushed, emotionally, financially and spiritually. Many are afraid
they will lose the little access they have to their children if they
make waves. Media ignores the problems being caused and promotes the
deadbeat bandwagon. The government does the same, while spending
billions more than they collect in the child support scam and even
more billions for those incarcerated. That just does not leave many
left to be activists.

It is estimated that the total national number of incarcerated
fathers for failure to pay child support is 250,000. Some believe
the number is closer to 400,000. According to the Missouri
legislative report, in 1998 there were 1,770 misdemeanor failure
jailings and 900 felony jailings. Every year, there has been more
and more hysteria to lock up "deadbeats" by the states. The author
has seen similarly populated states in the 4,000 range in years 2000
and 2001. It's not hard to see those numbers could very well be true

Passport Denial Program

The Passport Denial Program, which is part of the Federal Offset Program, is designed to help states enforce delinquent child support obligations. Under the program, non-custodial parents certified by a state as having arrearages exceeding $2,500 are submitted by the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to the Department of State (DoS), which denies them U.S. passports upon application or the use of a passport service.

Alienated Girl Calls Dr. Laura, Dr. Laura Tells Her 'Go See Your Dad So You Can Find out the Truth'

Alienated Girl Calls Dr. Laura, Dr. Laura Tells Her 'Go See Your Dad So You Can Find out the Truth'
August 16, 2007 at 11:01 am · Filed under Vox Populi

Background: Parental Alienation occurs in a divorce or separation when one parent, usually the custodial mother, turns the children against the other parent, usually the noncustodial father. Often this alienation takes the form of giving the children a negative impression of the father--to read one example, see the second part of my blog entry Sad Parental Alienation Case from the 1940s.

Kathy, a reader, sent me the following letter concerning a recent call to talk show host/author Dr. Laura Schlessinger:

"Today a 12-year-old girl called radio host Dr. Laura to ask whether she should contact her father, who she has not had a relationship with since she was 7. The girl told Dr. Laura that 'my father is manipulative.'

"Dr. Laura responded: 'Where did you hear that -- your mother, your grandmother? No 12-year-old comes up with that terminology on her own.'

"Dr. Laura finally extracted the name of the culprit - the girl's aunt. The little girl went on to say how her father had 'forced' her mother to buy video games and other expensive electronic devices when the family was in debt.

"The girl then mentioned that her mother left her with her aunt on the weekends so mother could go stay with her boyfriend in LA. Dr. Laura responded: 'So your dad's manipulative but your mom's boyfriend is not - yeah.' Her advice to the child was this: 'Go stay with your dad so you can find out the truth, and maybe he'll be around for you 7 days a week.'

"I thought the dialogue was a prime example of how parents use, and psychologically abuse, their children in order to turn them against a parent."
I love the way Dr. Laura (pictured) immediately picked up on what was really going on, asking, "Where did you hear that -- your mother, your grandmother? No 12-year-old comes up with that terminology on her own."

Dr. Laura and I certainly do not agree on everything, but she has been generally supportive of fathers' rights. On her radio show she supported our efforts in California to preserve the CA. Supreme Court's LaMusga decision in 2004, and also broadcast her support for our Campaign Against 'Boys are Stupid' Products. In addition, she praised our campaign in her book Woman Power: Transform Your Man, Your Marriage, Your Life.

Man Leading Nation in $10 Billion Suit On Behalf of America’s Fathers Speaks Out!

2007-06-14T21:00:00.000-04:00

Posted in Courts and Legislatures, News, Protests and Groups by ANCPR on the June 14th, 2007

Alex S. Gabor
June 13, 2007

The poor poverty stricken man who is pursuing a $10 Billion Civil Suit against the State of Oregon, the Federal Government and 49 other States on behalf of himself as lead plaintiff and hundreds of thousands of fathers across the nation has given this author permission to publish his account of his current circumstances for the public record.
“On May 13th, 2007 I got a letter from an attorney who I paid $100 to review my case. The first attorney who reviewed my case over the phone without any documentation also charged me $100. The first attorney referred me to the second attorney. The second attorney consulted with a third attorney more her superior and qualified to deal with my “complex” case.
“The letter dated May 7th, 2007 included a copy of the original letter sent from the same attorney who had not responded since getting paid the $100 for more than a month.
The original letter was dated April 24th, my 51st birthday which I spent alone crying for several hours on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Venice Beach because I have not been able to see my two minor children, age 5 and 11 for more than three years.”
Originally the father had contacted the law firm just to get child visitation rights established by getting a court appointed attorney for the children who live in Eugene, Oregon.
The mother, over the past 13 years has had the man arrested on at least five occasions on false charges given to various local police, mostly after arguments about money and how to discipline the children.
Some of those charges included a felony which the father pled no contest to but which prevents the father from getting a job as a licensed real estate sales person in California, a profession in which he was successful prior to moving to California. A hearing with the State of California is set for August on that issue.
A no contest plea is treated the same as pleading guilty and usually avoids lengthy and costly trials, but leaves a permanent record on any mans life, barring him from many rights and opportunities, something which isn’t always explained by lawyers and judges to those accused of things they didn’t really do.
After much patient waiting by the father, the law firm finally wrote him a letter stating that in order for the law firm to represent him, he had to agree to authorize them to file a motion to appoint Robert Loveland or some other qualified psychologist to conduct a comprehensive custody evaluation for the purpose of generating a comprehensive custody and parenting time recommendation pertaining to the father, the mother and his two minor children,.
The letter stated that the law firm would prefer to use Dr Loveland who works out of Portland but provided no information about him, his practice or his qualifications. The letter went on to state that there are a few other qualified psychologists in Eugene who would also suffice. Their fees range from $4,000 to $6,000 and the father would need to pay that up front, directly to the psychologist.
It is a well documented fact that “the psychiatric profession is made up of more quacks and idiots than all the mental institutions in the world combined, their pseudo science is full of jargon not even a rocket scientist could fathom, and psychology is nothing more than the brainwashing gibberish that lists more than ten thousand ‘mental disorders’ that only exist as idea’s and concepts in the minds of the people who invented them and who perpetually and ignorantly foist their pseudo knowledge and phony wisdom upon the unsuspecting victims erroneously seeking their help”, at least according to the philosophy of Scientology – “The Science of Knowing How to Know”.
Unfortunately, the mental health profession leaves much to be desired for society. If it really were a mental health profession, we would have no crime, no war and no insanity, or at least these things would be diminishing in the world rather than expanding.
Any human being who looks around at current planetary conditions could easily see from doing a tiny bit of research that the psychiatric profession has co-opted the legal and justice system in America.
Every lawyer and judge in America has been duped into believing that these “experts” know something about how to improve the conditions of their patients. The exact opposite is true.
Just take a look at how much more profitable drug companies are today than they were thirty years ago. The greatest demand for prescription drugs comes from those written by psychiatrists. And psychiatrists are also the largest direct and indirect stockholders in publicly traded drug cartels.
Without justice, there can be no peace, without love, there can be no peace, without peace there can be no love, without love, there can be no justice, without justice, there can be no love, and there are no absolutes of these things, peace, love, justice, but they are interlocked into triangular degrees of sanity…for as one side of the triangle of peace, love and justice diminishes in power, capacity or application, the other two sides diminish correspondingly, and these three sides of the triangle are the building blocks of a sane civilization.
To the degree that peace, love and justice are blocked in any society, to that degree that society is insane, and there comes a point when insanity reaches a point where that society is doomed. Just ask any Roman, Greek or Babylonian…what went wrong?
The lawyer wrote that they would ask the Court to order the mother to pay some portion of the cost of the psychiatric evaluations, but that request would not be ruled on until the close of the case, so the father would need to front the money.
This case involves complicated histories on both parents’ parts of allegations of drug and alcohol abuse, alleged domestic violence, criminal allegations and convictions, all of them now expunged, etc.
The mental health, domestic violence and chemical dependency issues render this case complex and it would not serve the father or the children to go forward without the assistance of a mental health professional skilled and trained in custody evaluations, all according to the opinion of one attorney and her senior legal partner.
“In general, it is a given understanding among the legal profession that these types of cases are dictated solely by ‘the children’s best interests’ but the complicated circumstances render it exceedingly difficult to flesh that out”, said the lawyer.
The law firm insists that the father resort to a custody evaluation conducted by a qualified mental health professional / custody evaluator. “The ONLY issue before the court in a custody/parenting time case is ‘what will serve the children’s best interests?”, according to the lawyer.
How many psychiatrists does it take to figure out what is in the best interests of a child and what say do the children have in the matter if they wish to see their father regardless of what their mother tells them about him?
According to research conducted online, Dr. Ira Daniel Turkat, PhD says that “Divorce related child visitation interference is a national problem, affecting six million children.
“Such interference may be acute or may represent chronic disorders, such as Parental Alienation Syndrome and Divorce Related Malicious Mother Syndrome. In certain cases, visitation interference is accompanied by vicious behaviors toward the noncustodial parent, including violence and violations of law.”
It would appear that if the children’s best interests were at the real core of all child visitation issues in the current legal system, there would not be six million children crying at night before bed time for their Daddy’s, let alone the six million plus fathers who have been psychologically trained to “bite the bullet, be a man, hang tough, and be strong”, but who suffer great grief from their losses nevertheless, and are currently powerless to enforce their rights as fathers and men.
The psychologist would meet and observe the father, the mother, and the children, any other significant people in the children’s lives, which in this case includes an alcoholic grandmother who is financially supporting the mother who is on welfare and who works for another law firm in Eugene.
The psychiatrist would have numerous interactions with the parties and the children; he would sift through and investigate all the allegations and circumstances. The father would need to fly up from Los Angeles to Eugene at least 3 times for that purpose.
That could prove difficult for a man who himself is now on food stamps, is collecting unemployment and is on the waiting list for surgery at UCLA Medical Center involving three hernias and other internal complications which have caused internal bleeding on and off for the past five years. The man is very close to being permanently disabled.
The lawyer went on to say they would file a motion to set a hearing to occur about 21 days from the date of filing to establish a temporary parenting time / access plan for the father and the children.
This would moist likely result in initial supervised parenting time for the father. In light of the history of this case, most critically the fact that the father has been out of the children’s lives for so long, even assuming that it is on account of mom’s bad behavior, and the fact of alleged abuse, and the fact that the father has filed numerous, lengthy and somewhat renting pleadings on his own behalf in the State and Federal court system, the judge’s will be likely to err on the side of caution when it comes to assessing the father’s emotional and mental stability.
This all according to the attorney who is too obviously also a woman.
In other words, if you file renting complaints using the Court system without an attorney your emotional and mental stability are in question? Could only a woman could come up with that kind of logic, or is this ingrained within the legal profession – “if you need a lawyer you are mentally incompetent”.
“What the father and half the men in this country are not aware of is that if you hire an Esquire, a member of the BAR, you are basically stating and admitting to the court and the world that you are mentally incompetent and unable to represent yourself before society on the particular case in question, according to Master of Psychology drop out, Karl Chromy of Portland, Oregon. Chromy studied psychology for twelve years at Portland State University and never graduated.
After becoming a professional psychology student he eventually became permanently disabled after a hockey accident. Is there any connection between accidents and psychiatrists? Another story indeed!
In this instance, according to the attorney, parenting time would realistically need to begin on a supervised basis, but with the assistance of parenting time supervisors and several successful interactions between the father and his children, parenting time would likely expand, hopefully in fairly short order. Why does a father need supervised visits when the mother and grandmother kidnapped his children and haven’t allowed them to see their father for over three years?
The lawyers say they know a good supervisor in Eugene and told the father he could fly up from Los Angeles twice a month or more to visit. There is only one crime in America. That crime is not having enough money to take care of your own personal business affairs and satisfy your personal needs.
Unfortunately the true criminals who create scarcity in this world – the Bankers and the Lawyers – are the ones in control of the global economy, so is it any wonder that well over $50 billion is now owed in back child support by more than a million hard working fathers from the 50 states? After all, 99.99% of Congress is composed of lawyers.
The lawyers said that “after a few months, they would seek to release the supervision requirement and expand the visits. If you impress the evaluator, you could anticipate less frequent, but lengthy visits in California, to coincide with your kids’ academic breaks”.
So if all courts deal in the best interests of the child then why would anyone need to impress an evaluator? Why would the BAR be set so high that it excludes 95% of all hard working men from seeing their children by creating an invisible tax of unaffordable legal services?
The children always know the truth deep inside – they already know who really loves them from a distance, like God might admire his children and let them make their own mistakes, and they also know who tortures them with daily doses of verbal abuse and lies. The dichotomy is real! It is mothers who raise most men in this country. The women’s movement has seemed to have forgotten that fact.
Unfortunately, according to Dr. Turkat “the desire for ongoing and liberal visitation between child and nonresidential parent has frequently not kept pace with actual practices. The Children’s Rights Council (1994) estimates that six million children in the United States have their visitation interfered with by the custodial parents.
“Two surveys support the range of this problem. Arditti (1992) reports that approximately 50% of divorced fathers relate that their ex-wife has interfered with visitation with their offspring. Similarly, approximately 40% of custodial mothers admit denying their ex-husband visitation in order to punish him (Kressel, 1985). In some cases, visitation interference has been associated with malicious unlawful acts against the father of such children (Turkat, in press). On rare occasions, a parent may actually kidnap the child.”
Kidnapping is defined as when “A child was taken in violation of a custody agreement, court order or decree, the kidnapper failed to return a child at the end of a legal or agreed-upon visit, with the child being away at least overnight. An attempt was made to conceal the taking, or the whereabouts of a child, or to prevent contact with the child. The child is transported out of state, or there is evidence that the abductor had the intent to keep the child indefinitely, or to permanently alter custodial privileges,” according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In this particular case the woman took the children from Reno without the father’s knowledge after the woman found out through confidential emails with business associates that the father intended to divorce the mother and give her $2.4 million as a settlement of their marriage thereafter.
Where that money was to come from is a whole different story, perhaps even a book or a movie. It took the father three months to find the children living with the children’s grandmother in Eugene, Oregon. The woman abandoned the home in Reno.
In 2008, there will be an estimated 5 million divorces, affecting more than 5 million children. Out of those families that are being broken up by a financial, economic and legal system that destroys incentive and continues to ship jobs overseas, while the cost of gas skyrockets at home, on any given day, at least 1,000 children will be taken away from the other parent without their knowledge and kidnapped away according to the National Crime Information Center.
There are more than 40 million children in America today, living with a single parent who is separated, or divorced. In 2008 there may be more than 2 million additional new divorces as millions of families lose their homes to foreclosures from the housing depression that is well underway and could last another decade.
150,000 divorces a year, or 1 in 7 involve child custody battles. Today’s average marriage will last about five years. Single-parent families have increased by over 1000% since 1960 as have divorces.
Not politics, law nor religion have provided an effective antidote to this spreading social disease.
The lawyers told the father that he would need to deposit $2,500 into their client trust account. Can anyone really trust bankers and lawyers these days?
“In light of our review of your financial history and circumstances, we are not willing to proceed with less than that up front. With a custody evaluator on board, however, that really minimizes, potentially, the amount of work that the attorneys have to do. At any time that your trust account balance fell below $1,200, you would need to deposit an additional $500 within one week of being so notified,” wrote the lawyer to the poor father.
There is only one thing worse than being insane. That is “not knowing” that you are insane. The court system that the legal profession has dreamed up and foisted upon the fathers of America is insane and they do not know it, but fathers all over the country do and they will eventually do away with the entire lot in the process of seeking justice.
As a homeless man once wrote in a poem written for a song for a soundtrack of a yet to be finished major screen play, “The Bankers and the Lawyers they all fall down”.
A group of people in California known as Fathers for Justice are now in discussions to form a legal offense fund to change the laws and mandate equally shared parenting time, regardless of the circumstances surrounding disputes among couples and their legal separation issues. Their recent support of Alec Baldwin at a rally for father’s rights was very well publicized elsewhere.
Another group out of Indiana is moving forward with their class action lawsuits in each state of the union. To demonstrate how insane lawyers and politicians have become, the following story should give the reader a tiny peek into absurdity.
According to Glenn Sacks, “It would be difficult to make California’s controversial domestic violence policies more irrational and unfair to men, but Senator Sheila Kuehl (D–Santa Monica) is trying.
“California law has long excluded men and their children from receiving state-funded DV services, even though research demonstrates that a third of domestic violence-related injuries are incurred by heterosexual males caused by women.
“The legislature reiterated this exclusion last fall by passing AB 2051, which references services for ‘battered women’ 31 times yet never once mentions “male victims,” “men,” or even simply ‘victims.’
While California funds over 100 domestic violence shelters for women, there are only two facilities in the state which even accept male victims, and both of them are in remote areas.
Recently Kuehl and the California Senate Judiciary Committee took the state’s DV policies to a new level of absurdity by passing a law to address the issue of domestic violence and…Pets!
Kuehl’s SB 353 amends Section 6320 of the Family Code so that women claiming domestic abuse can more easily gain custody of the family’s pets. The bill also allows women to obtain restraining orders which prevent alleged abusers from having contact with their pets.
While legislators focus on protecting dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters from being exposed to domestic violence, they’ve failed to offer any services to men, and still the children’s longsuffering weeps, deep into the night, asking, where is my Daddy?
Isn’t it amazing that intelligent people practicing law cannot come up with simpler solutions that are really in the best interests of their potential clients’ children? Is there anything more important to the future survival of the human race than our children?
Has the United States Government, the State of Oregon and many of their attorney’s, employees and agents also become unwitting accomplices in what appears to be a developing story of kidnapping?

The therapy industry is just another corrupt arm of the “family court” system like the “visitation” centers. More places to exploit broken homes on the backs of men. Here in New Hampshire I was forced to see a therapist before seeing my children, which is against the law in this state, RSA 135-C:57, which I even read to the judge, but I agreed to go since my insurance would pay for it. I said I would do anything my insurance covered. I went, was cleared, and told there was nothing wrong with me. Court said that didn’t count. Went to another, who wouldn’t see me after 2 meetings, saying it would be fraud to bill treating a non-existent condition. They were both reputable therapists but once again the judge said this didn’t count. Then the court sent me to someone by name, who couldn’t even perform evaluations, so I was sent out to others, who would not take my insurance. One of these “recommended” to the court that I attend her “therapy” for a year, which was not covered by my insurance. This has been a two year battle now, and the court will not even acknowledge a recorded threat from my ex in which she says “you’re going to lose them always, one way or another”. One more thing, the head judge of the State of New Hampshire’s “Family Division” wife’s occupation is, take a guess, a therapist.

Tennessee - Order of Protection against an ex-husband

2007-03-28T01:22:00.000-04:00

Ex-wife's boyfriend claims he got beat up by her ex-husband, who denies it happened. This case stands for the proposition that ex-wives' boyfriends have no standing to get an Order of Protection against an ex-husband. Probably a good idea. Garrison v. Burch (Tenn. App. 2001)

Tennessee - NEW CHILD SUPPORT RULES ARE FINALLY HERE, YOU WON'T LIKE THEM

2007-03-28T01:12:00.000-04:00

The Tennessee Department of Human Services has finally issued its new rules pursuant to the change in the law I helped write last year to treat children equally. They have taken a relatively simple task, i.e., treating each child the same and turned it into a 70 page nightmare. It became effective January 16, 2005 and they made damn sure it does not apply to existing cases.Lawyers will be charging more as a result of these Guidelines, which will lower parents' ability to support their children. I could name several judges that I know for certain will never be able to determine child support from these Guidelines because they are mathematically challenged. They have created a web page to help, click here and good luck, you will need it.
