Down the "Court-Appointee Rabbit Hole" Go Moms...

A Cabal of Family Court Operatives

The Court-Appointee Rabbit Hole is one of the many rabbit holes mothers go down when trying to figure out how they could possibly have lost custody of their children.

This article is the sixth in the series. The first five were the Domestic Abuse, Cottage Industry, Parental Alienation, Rights & Laws and Gender Neutral Rabbit Holes.

The purpose of the Rabbit Holes series is to shed light on the many ways women are being diverted from understanding what is really going on in Family Court. This confusion keeps them from fighting the right thing, which fosters the systemic sexism.

Mothers in the Court-Appointee rabbit hole believe the reason they lost custody is because one or more court-appointees misled the judge with negative observations about them and positive ones about the father. This is usually attributed to the appointee being corrupt, biased, unlicensed (unregulated), or ignorant about abuse (untrained).

But court-appointees are not why women lose custody. These court actors function like court operatives, not independent, neutral assessors and advisors.

There are three types of Court-Appointees: recommenders, enforcers, and informers: those who make recommendations to the judge, those who enforce the court agenda, and those who inform on women and children.

Professionals are selectively appointed who will use fraud and coercion to abet judges in the custody-switching scheme. These appointees must be willing and able to minimize and cover up child sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. This creates a cabal of corrupt insiders, all loyal to the court and willing to do judges’ bidding.

There are many kinds of professionals who do the recommending, enforcing and informing. Among them are psychologists, custody evaluators, children’s attorneys, guardians ad litem, social workers, therapists, mediators, and visitation supervisors.

The three main recommenders are evaluators, attorneys/GAL’s, and mediators.

EVALUATORS

A custody evaluator is probably the most common court-appointee and comes under the recommender type. Different titles are used for these professionals, but they are basically appointed to do an investigation to determine which parent should get what custody and visitation.

These appointees are usually psychologists, therapists, or social workers. They interview the parents and children and often administer psychological tests, even though there are no scales that are empirically validated for parenting.

The evaluator then submits a report to the court with a summary, their opinions, and recommendations for custody. These reports are often full of distortions and outright lies that form the basis for their recommendation that custody be switched to the father. Judges often simply adopt the evaluator’s recommendations in their custody order. This helps it appear as if the appointee is the problem.

If evaluators do not give judges what they want, they can just ignore it. That particular appointee will then not be appointed in the future. That is how the cabal is formed and solidified.

MINOR’S COUNSELS & GAL’s

The next most frequent recommender appointee is a legal representative for the children. These come in two varieties: minor’s counsels and guardians ad litem [GAL’s].

Minor’s counsels are licensed attorneys. GAL’s may be attorneys, social workers, or CASA’s [court-appointed special advocates]. All are tasked with representing children’s legal best interests to the court.

These appointees are supposed to conduct themselves like a normal attorney would with a client, i.e. zealously advocate for what the child wants. However, they can override children’s wish to live with their mother by asserting it is not in their best interest. In order to support their recommendation, they do what the other appointees do: lie about the mother. They blame her for the child(ren) not wanting to be with the father instead of the fact that the father is abusive or neglectful.

MEDIATORS

Mediators are recommenders that may be required by law rather than appointed by the judge, but it’s pretty much the same thing. Their offices are often in the court building and they know the program.

Mediators attempt to get the parents to stipulate without going to court. When the mother believes custody or unsupervised visitation with the father would be bad or dangerous for the children, this will not likely happen. Still, mediators will use “soft coercion”—putting pressure on mothers to get with the program. They let the mother know that if they do not go along with the father having custody or unsupervised visits, they will likely lose custody. This is often enough to get women to back down.

If the mother stands her ground, the mediator writes up a report for the court with recommendations. They do essentially what evaluators and minor’s counsels do—spin the case against the mother and to the father.

The term “mediator” denotes neutrality, but court-appointees never are. Mediators should not be used in contested custody cases. They are just another obstacle put in the way of mothers attempting to keep and protect their children.

ENFORCERS & INFORMERS

Psychologists and therapists are often court-appointed as enforcers and informers. Whereas the recommenders are practiced in fraud, these appointees are experts in the art of coercion and snitching.

Enforcer appointees use various methods to get the mom and kids to comply with court orders and expectations. The most common is a carrot and stick all in one: mom and kids will get to see each other if they behave and not if they don’t. But the former is often a blatant lie. Even when mothers comply, the visits remain supervised.

These appointees are often tasked with getting the mother and kids to retract their reports of the father’s abuse. A common specialty for this is the “reunification” therapist. This professional is well-versed in coercive persuasion (brainwashing) techniques which are used to get the children to “forget” about the abuse.

Some court-appointees are used as informers to keep the court apprised as to the status of mothers and children’s silence and compliance. Therapists are appointed under the guise of doing therapy to monitor them for signs of insubordination and to report to the court on whether they are getting with the program or not.

Therapy records are supposed to be private, but in Family Court there are always ways around that. Judges and court officials are made privy to confidential notes and they are leaked to the father. The information is used to further control and punish the mother and children.

Visitation supervisors are also used to snitch on mothers and children. The reason mothers are restricted to supervised visits in the first place is to silence them about the father’s abuse, often sexual abuse. One former supervisor says that 80% of her clientele were women whose children had disclosed sexual abuse by the father. Supervisors report to the court regularly as to whether the mother and children are behaving—i.e. not talking negatively about the father or his abuse.

The sword of Damocles perpetually looms. If mothers dare disobey, they will not be allowed to see their children at all, not even supervised.

CABALS CREATED

The demand for professionals willing to commit fraud, endanger children, and enforce unjust orders produces a cabal of insider appointees in every jurisdiction. And it’s all implicit. Nothing needs to be explicitly stated to these professionals. Nobody has to tell them they need to denigrate the mother and extol the father. Anyway, everyone in, or adjacent to, positions of power knows which way the patriarchal wind blows.

There is a lot of money to be made for going along to get along with the male-entitling agenda. However, this “cottage industry” that has sprung up in recent decades is not the cause of the crisis, contrary to popular opinion. This is discussed in depth in Down the Cottage Industry Rabbit Hole.

These court-appointee positions attract the worst of the worst kind of humans: liars and bullies, greedy sociopaths and losers who have no problem destroying mothers’ and children’s lives. These despicable POS’s stoop so low as to cover up child sexual abuse and aid in putting victims under the control of the father molester.

Although these court-appointees are the worst kind of people, they are not the cause of the crisis…just a symptom.

MOMS DRAWN DOWN

MSM, academics, DV/DA and PP (protective parent) organizations and groups are drawing mothers down the Court-Appointee Rabbit Hole. Articles and posts are continuously made implicating court-appointees as the problem, rather than the judges who appoint them and the system that enables judges to appoint them.

There is much advocating by these folks for new laws that mandate training and regulation for appointees. Our last column covers a journal article that places blame on court-appointees and asserts training and regulating is the solution. However, a lack of training and regulation is not the problem and new laws mandating that will make no difference.

These sadly mistaken activists most commonly attack evaluators and “reunification” therapists since those are low hanging fruit. Evaluators often falsely accuse mothers of alienating the children and recommend the judge appoint a “reunification therapist” so they make great villains.

What needs to be pointed out is that these “reunification therapists” do not “reunify”; they coerce children into silence about the father’s abuse and compliance with court orders. As noted above, these appointees are actually enforcers, not therapists. It is not therapy they are conducting; it is unethical coercion. Continuing to use the terms “reunification” or “therapist” plays into the whole custody switching scheme. This is also gone over in more depth in our last column.

TAKEAWAYS

The main takeaway is that judges are not being misled by their very own appointees. Judges have the facts and evidence in front of them and know exactly what they are doing. They appoint professionals to aid and abet them in the agenda of granting custody to the father. Recommendations by appointees give judges something to hang their hat on in their findings and orders, while the enforcers and informers make sure court orders are followed.

Court-appointees also give judges cover for their role in the fraud and coercion used to switch custody. The blame being placed on appointees by the media and DV orgs is a good example of this.

Unfortunately, mothers are led to believe that court-appointees are neutral players, necessary in the process of deciding custody. They need to be warned ahead of time that these court actors are far from neutral and will most likely do damage to their case. They should be avoided if at all possible.

Also, women are forced to spend a lot of money on all these appointees, as well as on their own attorneys. This serves the court’s purpose of further disempowering and destroying mothers by financially damaging or devastating them.

The bottom line is, court-appointees are not causing the Custody Crisis. They are simply one type of weapon, amongst many, that is being used by judges to achieve the agenda of entitling men and oppressing women after divorce.

However, it is important to understand that judges themselves are not the problem either. It is the system that gives judges virtually absolute power. This enables them to switch custody regardless of facts and the best interests of the children.

In conclusion, the main problem with the Court-Appointee Rabbit Hole is that the blame is being put on appointees rather than where it belongs: on the Family Court system itself. And there are no reforms within the system that will end the crisis.

A fair custody determination in the best interests of the children can only be made if cases are heard in a regular civil court where judges have no more power than a normal judge and where they do not have the power to appoint anyone. There should be no appointees at all in contested custody cases. Evidence should go straight to the jury. Parents can hire their own experts if they want. Judges should have nothing to do with it.

Anyway, if you’ve been down this rabbit hole—or any of the others—don’t feel bad. It would be surprising if you haven’t been. There is so much misinformation circulating.

IN OTHER NEWS

CHAPTER 27 [cont.] IS OUT!

Chapter 27, Act II, Part 2 continues. The judgment giving Herry sole custody comes down while Legion is being forcibly held in the psych hospital. In order for her to have visitation with her boys, she must request it in writing from Herry and state she will not say anything negative about him. Visits are also dependent on Legion undergoing a mental health program that Herry designs and oversees. And he is allowed to stop visitation at any time. These orders are meant to prevent Legion from saying anything about Herry’s sexual abuse and give him complete power and control.

Herry convinces the local newspaper editor to publish a front page story on Legion’s psych committal and loss of custody. This is meant to humiliate her, damage her career and end her political candidacy; in other words, to take everything from her in his goal to completely destroy her—for having dared to stop being submissive.

In the last section, Herry uses his clout to get Legion committed to a psych ward after she tries to get some sleep meds. She knows his ultimate goal/revenge is to get her locked up for good or to commit suicide. The judge himself had taken custody of his four children and had his wife permanently institutionalized. It is an age-old, patriarchal tradition to institutionalize errant and no-longer-useful wives.

CHAPTER 27 of Mother-Fucking: The Saga of One Fucked Mother begins with Act I of “The Opera”—from Book 3, the last part of the book. “The Opera” has three Acts with five Parts—one for each of the three Family Court and two Appellate Court trials. Chapter 27 covers Acts I and II: the first two Family Court trials and the first Appellate Court trial. [This is a long chapter and will be published in newsletter-sized bites.]

Dr. Blue’s novel is based on her own experience of the Custody Crisis. It uniquely conveys how Family Court judges are “mother-fucking” women—a form of systemic oppression and violence directed at ex-wives—as protagonist Legion is systematically and methodically deprived of her children and money and reduced to “one fucked mother”.

Chapters are stand-alone interesting so you can begin reading anywhere. A Cast of Characters follows to help readers at any point [on the web page].

TEASERS

Herry could now wield the power to mother‑fuckingly decide the construct and structure of such a program all by himself, to have me, his ex‑wife‑yet‑nonetheless‑“child,” submissively succumb to it and to complete it successfully to his satisfaction alone, before he, Herry, would even have to consider affixing his signature to something that bestowed back upon me—perhaps—a “chance” to have contact with any one of my very own children again! Unfuckingbelievable! I mean: THINK on that! Unbelievable mother‑fuck!

No matter that Dr. Edinsmaier was a sex addict and had repeatedly sexually and physically abused his sons. And me.

Ya’ take her children, then you take and murder all that is of her core and of her freedom, all that is of any real importance to any true mother whom I know … anywhere. Take, take and take. Be certain to take and own it all. Take all of hers …What a near perfect core‑murdering stratagem of Pissed‑off, Gut‑the‑Bloody‑Bitch Herry’s!
