Dear Mom and Dad, Please remember my life has been turned upside down and I never had a vote.

Divorce Visitation Requests from Your Child (by: Dr. Anne Brown, PhD, RN) – DivorceForce


Dear Mom and Dad,


Please remember my life has been turned upside down and I never had a vote. I don’t have a rulebook to negotiate waters totally unfamiliar to me. It is really hard for me to understand that my family has broken up. I feel scared that I will loose one or both of you. I don’t know what to do with all the bad feelings I have. It would really mean a lot to me if you could do a few things to help me with the land mines I seem to be stepping on. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

1. Remember Your “ex” is my Family!
FAMILY-where-life-begins-and-love-never-endsI now have the best and worst of both of you. I don’t get to divorce anyone. Whatever you didn’t like about your spouse, I now have to deal with all by myself. I don’t know how, so I am going to have to figure that out without a rule- book. Your “ex” is my Dad or Mom so if you can’t help me have a good relationship, please don’t make things more difficult.

2. Don’t Use Me!

#StandupforZorayaI am not your messenger. Do not interrogate me. I don’t know what will upset you. I am going to have to figure the “what information goes where” thing and that in itself is pretty crazy for my age. Do not “dump” your anger at your “ex” on me please. When I start to look, sound, and have mannerisms, like my parent your “ex” don’t be surprised and don’t blame me. You at one time wanted me to be a combination of both of you, remember!

When you interrogate me to get information about what is going on in “the other house” and you use that information for your “ex” issues, I will probably get in trouble. Make it safe for me to come to you to be able to talk about and get tools to handle things I don’t know how to handle in “the other house”.

Children’s Rights:
Reform is needed! Our children’s well-being is at stake!!

A Mother’s Day message from Dr. Mark Roseman of The Toby Center.

A Mothers Love A Fathers LoveFor an increasing number of moms, Mother’s Day without their children are expected, and characteristic. It’s characteristic of mothers who are court ordered to have visitation that they not see their children on this day.

For dads, too, there are many whose children cannot spend time with their them.

Why? Court orders.

NFOJA (National Forum On Judicial Accountability) reached out for a comment on the clip by Dr. Jill Jones-Soderman who recently joined the board of directors for NFOJA’s nonprofit corporate sponsor known as THE LAW PROJECT @www.njcdlp.org

As Founder and Executive Director of Foundation for the Child Victims of the Family Courts, Dr. Jones-Soderman is no stranger to family courts across America. Here is her comment:

“Judge Gerri Collins has reached a new nadir, if that is possible, in a division of the court system widely known for depraved indifference to human life, in the course of their daily practice. The level of pompous grandiosity assumed by family court judges when associating with a perceived slight to their authority reaches a level of diagnosable clinical delusion disorder.”

National Forum On Judicial Accountability

JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ADVOCATES: Meetings are proceeding well between constituents and U.S. Representatives as part of the Opt IN USA campaign. Participants are reporting that congressional staffers seem quite interested in their concerns.

We are making clear that the problem of unchecked judicial misconduct in America has become a constitutional and international human rights crisis.

We need as many people as possible to deliver the Opt IN USA Congressional Information Package to the closest district office of their U.S. Representatives we have yet to reach.

As to the members of Congress who have received our material, we need fellow constituents to join their Opt IN USA ambassador in:

1. a follow-up letter requesting an update from the member of Congress who was visited;

2. at least two (2) online meetings to compile known evidence of judicial misconduct in their state;

3. an investigation request to the judiciary committee of their state legislature and the U.S. Attorney for their district in anticipation of being part of a national investigation request to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee; and

4. an Opt IN USA support request to your U.S. Senator(s).

JUNK SCIENCE AND THE REAL PARENTAL ALIENATION IN FAMILY COURT THAT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT

Yes, the time has come to discuss one of the most lucrative aspects of the divorce industry: Parental alienation, also known PAS or the dreaded ‘parentectomy.’

In fact, when I discussed the Detroit ‘throw the kids in juvy’ case recently, I was surprised to read the judge’s comments alleging parental alienation. In retrospect I probably shouldn’t have been surprised that a seasoned professional would believe in junk science – upon further investigation I learned that the parentectomy diagnosis is alive and well in family courts throughout the land.

A typical family court parentectomy diagnosis goes like this: One parent, typically the non-custodial child-support paying one, claims that the other parent, typically the custodial child-support receiving one, has alienated the children against him or her. An official diagnosis usually involves a divorce lawyer and a so-called “mental health professional” or two working for the aggrieved and allegedly alienated parent.

Of course in reality this is a misdiagnosis and the parent claiming to be the victim of a parentectomy is almost always suffering from an entirely different malady – let’s call it the ‘walletectomy’.  This syndrome occurs when a litigant becomes estranged and alienated from his wallet due to child support payments. Is this all-too- common misdiagnosis a mistake?  Do the lawyers and judges involved really believe the parent is suffering from a parentectomy and not the much more obvious and far less serious walletectomy?

Is family court a corrupt money-driven system?

You be the judge.

The Alienating Parents’ Tool Of Choice

Persuasive Rhetoric
The Tool of Choice for the Alienating Parent

Emotional Child Abuse - 2016Persuasive Rhetoric refers to using language in an emotionally laden manner with the purpose of convincing the audience of some particular perspective.

Persuasive Rhetoric is a tool for selling ideas, beliefs and positions on a given topic or subject. It is unrelated to truth. It only refers to the spin, the story and the goal of winning over the audience. Nothing in the message requires truth.

saddest-thing-in-the-world-20161In the case of Parental Alienation, this concept is useful in that it describes a favorite modus operandi that the alienating parent uses to vilify the targeted parent.

In this context, the alienating parent will allege something either entirely untrue or grossly distorted regarding the targeted parent. It is done with such emotion and tenacity, that the audience is typically drawn into its message. Then the alienating parent does the same thing with another listener. Now there is a group of three who all believe the same either untrue or grossly distorted thing.

There are now three voices in this chorus, and the intensity level tends to increase with the volume and the numbers of those involved. Then someone in this group of three relates this to another person, who questions it but is told that several other people told them the same thing, so it must be true. This new “convert” to the distortion then unwittingly spreads the distortion to someone else, and to someone else, and to someone else.

Socrates, the story goes, is approached by a man who wants to tell him some urgent news. Before he does this, Socrates stops him and says he would first like to ask him three questions before he tells his story. The man agrees.

The first question is, “do you know the person to whom this news occurred?”

Answer: “No, but I know someone who does know them. “

Question two: “did you witness the event yourself?”

Answer: “No, but I spoke to someone who was there.”

Question Three: ” Is the news good or bad?”

Answer: “It would be considered bad news.”

Socrates reviews accordingly, “You do not know the person to whom this happened, you only heard about it from someone who says they were there, and it is bad news. Thank you, but I think I would rather not listen to this news.”

Rightly or wrongly, we humans do tend to be herd animals. Due to our wiring and our evolution, when the herd is exposed to some message that is potentially dangerous or at least negative, we do tend to give it extra weight, and then pass it on.

This is a self-protective reflex that is easily exploited by the alienating parent in their mission to obliterate the targeted parent in Parental Alienation cases.

http://drbobevans.com/
“There are some who say Parental Alienation is a new concept and should be replaced with other verbiage more grounded in established psychological research. I’m not too sure where this comment is coming from but to help clarify the situation, there are 94 pages of references, peer review articles, books, journal articles and other works that make reference to Parental Alienation and Parental Alienation Syndrome and the phenomenon of alienation some go back to the 1940’s. So it is hardly the case that Parental Alienation is a new concept; clearly it’s not.” ~ www.drbobevans.com

Since the words “Parental Alienation” were first uttered within a family court room, it comes as no surprise that the echoes emanating from adversaries within both the mental health and legal environments have blurred and tarnished the very concept and, at times, left it unrecognizable. The side opposing an assertion of Parental Alienation is tasked with discrediting, disputing and demeaning it, hoping to convince the court to ultimately reject it. The adversarial process within the family court will predictably batter the concept about a good deal. Consequently, much misinformation, partial information and outright untruths and fabrications emerge and begin to fester.

When one considers that arguing attorneys and family law judges typically learn about Parental Alienation via arguments, examinations and cross examinations in court, it should not be surprising that such understandings are usually limited to the facts of a particular case, and are not necessarily characteristic of specific knowledge acquisition. In other words, the understandings about Parental Alienation as born through litigation are anecdotal and unique, far from a balanced and complete instruction. Judges and attorneys may hear about Parental Alienation from expert witnesses who have essentially been hired to discredit it or to assert it, and their information may be distorted or contaminated by the need to persuade (i.e., biased). In other words, the adversarial environment where it is argued is ripe for distortions and partial truths. What is important to know is that there have been specific arguments created to discredit it that can be shown to be absolutely false. For example, the argument that it is not accepted by the professional community can be shown to be absolutely false. The argument about its presence or absence in the DSM-5 can be answered completely and affirmatively. The argument that it is “junk science” can be shown to be completely unsupported by the scientific literature.

Announcing the National Association of Parental Alienation Specialists & 2-Day Symposium “Effective Litigation of Parental Alienation”The two day course offered by NAPAS is designed not only to provide a full and complete picture of parental alienation but to impart practical strategies to attorneys representing either a rejected parent or an alienating parent and the course material is supported by the scientific literature and professional consensus.

Alienated from your child.

Alienated from your child

You really said it! I felt your pain and your frustration. Facebook.com/StandupforZorayaI thought you said it perfectly and explained it clearly. I’ve heard those comments too many times and they were said by people who seem to care about us and were concerned about my situation. It just showed me that people have no clue when it comes to PA or PAS.

child-abuser-in-black-robe-divorcecorp-20162

I’ve been fighting now for over 10 years. My oldest is now 21 and wants nothing to do with me. She hates me. My worst nightmare has come true. I have spent every dime, every ounce of energy, and every minute fighting for my 2 children who I love with all my heart and soul. My ex has put my kids through every alienation tactic there is. My kids had no chance of coming through this with anything but hatred for me. I will never give up on them.

After 10 years of fighting and to get to this point, most people don’t understand why I won’t stop, especially since my oldest rejects me. They no longer give me comments of hope and seem to think I have issues. Sad Man in rain photo: rain wonder_lick_Heart22h.gifThey know nothing about PA or PAS. I wish more people would get to know about it, without having to go through it, but I guess that’s the only way people learn about it is when they are going through it. 10 years ago, there wasn’t a name for it and people really looked at me as a bad person to loose my children. I am not a bad parent, I am a fabulous Mom. My children were happy and healthy and a little bit spoiled. My ex had me arrested for something I didn’t do and used that case against me in our custody case. Once he got full custody that criminal case against me was dropped. His lawyer knew exactly what to do to get him full custody. He used that false allegation against me the whole way. 3 months after moving in with their Father, his girlfriend became my 7 and 11 yr old kid’s mom and I became Angie.project-fatherhood-fl-6-20152

I only want you to know that it doesn’t matter what sex the alienating parent is. There are just as evil Fathers out there alienating Mothers too. I have been screwed by the court system. My lawyers have told me, “the Judge HATES you!” This explains why he got away with never doing what he was ordered to do and won every time we went to court and something was taken from me every time, until I had no rights as a parent and no money. I had the Judge say twice that she didn’t care if it was fair.

Vindicate The Violated - 2015 If the Judge wasn’t bias, I would have gotten to see my kids, but she made it impossible for me to see them and she enjoyed being so powerful. First she let him move out of state with our kids, then she added extraordinary expenses to what my child support should be. The extra expense was for daycare that my children never went to and for braces that never ended. Sad Man in rain photo: Sad_Man sad_man.gifI am still paying for both. If child support would have been based on my income, I may have been able to afford travelling to see my kids, but I had to pay 70% of my income and the Judge didn’t care.

I am not behind on my child support. even though I’ve had to pay more of my income than is legally acceptable. My oldest moved out of her Father’s house, and got married before she turned 19. I wasn’t told she got married but I quit paying child support for her when she turned 19.children4justice -Equality Not an Issue - 2016

Then I put a motion in to Modify my Child Support. My ex delayed the hearing for over a year. In court the Judge asked me who told me I could quit paying child support for my 20 year old at the time. Needless to say, I had to back pay from when my daughter turn 19 until that day when she said I could quit paying. I became in arrears, just like that. I just finished last month paying child support plus the extraordinary expenses for my 21 year old married daughter who hasn’t lived with her Father in over 2 years. So as you can see things weren’t fair for me either.

Find Cause Bigger Than Self

About

Fighting to preserve Parent–Child relationships to improve the lives of children and strengthen society by protecting the child’s right to the love and care of both parents after separation/divorce.

“Children’s Rights” is not just about Fathers, it’s also about Children, Mothers, Families, Public Advocacy, Civil Rights and Liberties. This Children’s Rights Facebook Group, Page and Cause have been created for positive outreach, networking, distribution and discussion of information related to our cause.

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
• A continuing relationship with both parents.

• Be treated not as a piece of property, but as a human being recognized to have unique feelings, ideas, and desires consistent with that of an individual.

• Continuing care and proper guidance from each parent.

• Not to be unduly influenced by either parent to view the other parent differently.

• Express love, friendship, and respect for both parents: freedom from having to hide those stated emotions or made to be ashamed of such.

• An explanation that the impending action of divorce was in no way caused by the child’s actions.

• Not to be the subject and/or source of any and all arguments.

• Continuing, honest feedback with respect to the divorce process and its impact on the changing relationships of the family.

• Maintain regular contact with both parents and a clear explanation for any change in plans and/or cancellations.

• Enjoy a pleasurable relationship with both parents, never to be employed as a manipulative bargaining tool.

• The obligation of being a parent does not end after a divorce.

It is extremely important to understand that the bond of marriage is completely different from that of parents. This is the most common downfall in today’s society, as a dissolution of marriage takes place so does that of parenting.

 

A WORD ABOUT SELF REPRESENTATION ~ The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been interpreted to provide EVERY AMERICAN with the CONSTITUTIONAL right to self-representation, if they so choose. That privilege, like all other constitutional rights, should be enjoyed without fear of harassment, prejudice, or abuse.

Furthermore, no law, regulation, or policy should exist to abridge or surreptitiously extinguish that right. Self-Represented Litigants have no less of a right to FAIR and MEANINGFUL due process under the federal and state constitutions as those individuals who choose to utilize an attorney for their legal affairs and issues. In fact, NOWHERE in any state or federal constitution does it specify that the hiring of a lawyer is a prerequisite to exercising one’s due process rights.

Democratic principles dictate that we have the right to freely choose between self-representation and hiring a lawyer to handle our legal matters without suffering humiliation, prejudice, or penalization. After all, it is the parties to the litigation that ultimately have to deal with the consequences of the case’s outcome, and not the judge or the lawyers involved in the matter.

Contrary to the view of certain judges and lawyers, those who opt to litigate their own legal matters without an attorney are NOT second-class citizens deserving of contempt and injustice. Instead, they are BRAVE CITIZENS with an inalienable right to have their legal causes adjudicated objectively and justly — with or without a lawyer.

Self-representation can be a difficult, time-consuming, and often frightening experience, especially for those burdened by demanding work schedules, family responsibilities, and other obligations of day-to-day living.

Accordingly, those who engage in the difficult task of self-litigation should be REVERED for their COURAGE and DEDICATION, not scorned or abused.

We also need to amass momentous opposition against those persons, agencies, and institutions who, in the interest of protecting huge profits, careers, and prestige, subject self-litigants to a hostile and often abusive litigation atmosphere calculated to suppress self-representation and force people to become completely and financially dependent on lawyers to gain “paid” access to a taxpayer-funded legal system.

Stand up for Zoraya

Separating and divorcing parents suffer injuries of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Family Courts.

When Family Court’s Judges enable a party (Parent) to interfere with parental contact without any clear and convincing evidence that the other party (Parent) is harmful or dangerous it is Parental Alienation Child abuse.

Parental Alienation

project-fatherhood-fl-6-2015Parental alienation occurs when a parent intentionally does not honor the other parent’s visitation rights. Oftentimes the child(ren) are taught to become unjustly obsessed with negative qualities of the other parent. Both the parent and the child share antagonistic views of the other parent. The child sometimes will tell the parent that he/she does not want to visit with the parent. This is usually done by the child at the insistence of the other parent.

Oftentimes visitation (time sharing) becomes chronically interfered with. The one sabotages the relationship between the other parent and the child. The parent must take action through the court. Contacting a family law attorney as soon as possible to discuss the problems is imperative. The parent should keep a diary of all the denied visitations (time sharing) as well as the denied telephone calls, holiday visits that were denied, denial of the parents ability to partake in the medical, educational and welfare of the child(ren).
