ABOLISH FAMILY COURT, it’s a disgrace. My judge wrote no-contact orders and destroyed the relationships I had with my children based on false accusations and lies as the ex’s wife worked in the courthouse and thoroughly enjoyed her job….

Sounds so familiar and I am in Canada. My ex-h was granted 100% of my children even after an MRI determined spinal injuries caused from his abuse and he admitted to CPS of abusing my children. Judge awarded him 100% custody and I was accused of PA and for some of 7 years had supervised access so I couldn't ask any thing about them or what was occurring to them, in particular when they brought up abuse that was being done to them by the father. Of those seven years I only saw my children 8 days when time was added up. CPS was going to give me PTSD counseling and withdrew that and gave him reconciliation counseling. An order for custody and access stated that he was allowed to determine if I could see my children and that I had to receive therapy at minimum twice a month from a psychiatrist due to all of my mental health issues. OHIP professionals stated I didn't have mental health issues stated by his lawyers, CPS, Children's lawyer, Parenting Capacity Assessor and social worker. I was diagnosed with PTSD caused by trauma. Judge in my case who signed the custody access order was determined by the court of appeals to be narcissistic and didn't know the law wrt family law in another case wherein she wrote the order allowing the father to determine access of the mother with the children. This judge bragged that she didn't write the order she just signed it. She didn't understand that her signature meant that she approved of the non-legal order allowing the person who had custody to determine if the other parent was able to see children. She had a bevy of judges in the Welland court do her bidding and rule against me time and time again. There were five other parents in court that had the same order and the person with the less financial stability was the person who was ordered against. My friend who was a neighbour of hers told me that a judge in the Welland court told her that she was to allow any person he asked for her to get off, to get off of charges since that was the rule of the Welland court between that judges there. The court of appeals decision, after discussing this with the lawyer who did that appeal and I asked if he could represent me told me that although there was an appeal decision made, his client, the victim of DV in addition to DV to her sons stated that it changed nothing for the woman who two years later had yet to see her children. When I contacted the judicial body about the fact that there is a rule between the judges in the court to rule however another judge wants them to rule for their friend, family and/or business associate the head of the judicial body said a judge can make any order based on any measure they choose. The last trial the judge in 2019 kept stating I believe him not her based on hearsay since he at the beginning of trial dismissed all medical evidence of DV and court records of abuse and admittance of abuse he did to the children that were submitted as evidence for that trial. Hence there is no oversight on judges and appeals court does nothing when a judge is found to be incompetent. Also found out that ex-h's fourth wife was supposed to my PTSD counselor and most likely was the children's reconciliation counselor. This counselor was also a CPS worker and knew the file. She stated to me that he was a psychopath and asked if I could afford the ~$300/hr appt since I really need it due to the abuse I endured from a personality disordered individual. So not only was the court biased but the Legal Aid Manager at the court was a former CPS lawyer, the social worker was a former CPS child protection worker, and his then 3rd wife after our separation was a CPS worker. Oh and the Custody and Access evaluator balked, despite the evidence of abuse that it was abuse and accused me of being paranoid, paranoid delusional, anti social, and OCD. This was the exact diagnosis put against me in my ex-h's first court affidavit and peculiar that it describes him. I also found out 10 years after a car accident occurred 10 days after I had surgery to correct my C5-6 that was herniated from abuse (while I was 4 months pregnant with my daughter) that he had backed up forcibly into the car behind us and that undid the benefit of surgery. The psychiatrist who investigated that automobile file stated to me I know exactly what he is, he is a psychopath. I have no idea where my children are or what they are doing. I was told by a psychologist that I will probably never see them again due to their trauma bond with the father and the fact that I and my family were not allowed access to my children. The very fact that I needed supervised access to my children in itself indicated to them that I was dangerous to the children, and by him not allowing access was as much brainwashing me and my family from their memory. Last time I heard from my daughter she asked me to pick her up (messenger) from a secluded and crime ridden part of another city an hour away at 4am. After half an hour there I phoned the police to ask them to help me look. and because I was scared after hearing a man's voice state "there she is, go to her". The police blamed me for the incident after getting in touch with the father. I have decided that I will not go anywhere or try to get in contact with them again. At this point in my life with the disability that was caused to me by him and them I fear that my children will kill me on his behalf.

Many judges are disgusting, corrupt, and they don't care about kids. It is simple understandable, it is not human. I cred reading it. Family court does not serve kids anymore. I am so glad to know that mom and daughter are reunited after the horrific experience. I hope than abuser is in jail. I hope you win all lawsuit for all you pain.

Such a horrific experience. I feel so blessed to know that Laney was lovingly reunited with her daughter, as you may know many mothers are not. Poor Macey has a lot of catching up to do being’s that she was so abusivly isolated and socially restricted. God doesn’t sleep. They should to sue the crap out of that negligent, biased, abuse enabling judge. This can not continue to happen to innocent children. Family court should be ashamed of the abuse that they have repeatedly condoned. They need to have repercussions for their part in all this. Parents need to wake up & force these biased judges out of office. Family court in St. Landry parish is a joke. It’s all in who knows who, or who has the most money. They take zero consideration for the child’s actual safety. Macey has confided in us & told us some literal horror stories and yet her abuser still walks free, then he still has two more children that may still be being abused. This judge never asked the child what happened. Anyone that could prove the abuse was happening were not allowed to go on the stand. Such a shame that these abuse cases continue to happen, and that these judges continue to permit these abusers access to their victims. Wake up parents, wake up voters, wake up America. Dirty politicians, enablers, and abusers must pay for the crimes they allow or commit. May God bless Laney Macey & their family, may he usher them into a time of healing, blessings, and peace. May their love triumph over this evil. Praying 🙏🏼 for their happily ever after.

I'm so glad you're back together! The bond mothers and children share is strong. It drives us to focus on the root of the problem. We are fighting to end systemic male entitlement in family court. The Child Custody Act will help ensure the safety of mothers and children. The mother-child bond keeps us moving forward.

This is so tragic and horrific. It seems it was intentional and deliberate when evidence ie mandated reporters and other evidence was not allowed to be presented to the court. A great miscarriage of justice was done. When you put your faith in the legal system, and they looked away deliberately at clear evidence of abuse that both to mother and daughter had to endure you know its intentional. This family will forever be traumatized by the abuse and the failure to protect them. Can you imagine for 12 years having been ripped away from her mother her protector and having to endure repeatedly abuse over and over again. That is not in the best interest of the child. This a not justice nor will anyone be able to give her those years back.

There's no excuse for the law ignoring this abuse of power.

Incredible!! That poor child was deprived of her childhood and the mother who loved her. There were no laws to protect women and children back then. I’m not really sure if it is much better now. It is so sad some judges think they are GOD!! When, in these circumstances they are the Devil!!

So sad and so avoidable. Prisoners get more rights than alienated parents. It is sickening.
