¡ A( nother ) M O T H E R - FUCKING CENTURY THIS ONE IS ! = PATRIARCHY. PERIOD. Iowa's district and appellate judges DO this as well = " But here’s the kicker: Albis ordered that the father not only have sole custody, but that he have the authority to decide when, where, how, and if Margaret could visit the kids. This, of course, enabled the father to torture Margaret by depriving her completely of her children. " = THIS ? = M E R E GILEAD HANDMAIDS = WE MOTHERS.

I’m so sick of this. I went through something similar and my relationship with my sons is destroyed because of the corrupt Denton, Texas family court system. I’m trying to have a documentary made about this.

It is no longer possible to treat judges as if they are impartial authorities. These are emotional issues and everyone has emotional responses, including judges

I feel there’s no way out. The liars and the money prevails, always. Our poor children are doomed.

The only way I’ll give up is if my heart stops. These criminals don’t understand karma has no expiration.

This mother's case is very similar to mine. The father had been granted sole custody when my children were 12 and 11. My children emailed me from the father's home stating how unhappy they were. I took Children Act matters back to the Family Court where mine and my childrens fortnightly 2 hour contact was completely severed. The same judge (out of area) withdrew all forms of contact leaving the father to decide. When my children's grandfather was dying in hospital, I contacted the father to allow my children to see him before his death which he ignored and did not allow my children to see their grandfather prior to his death. My children were also prevented from attending their grandfather's funeral. Their schools primary and secondary also enabled alienation by preventing me from being part of my children's educational lives including no copies of school photos, school reports, events involving parents (only the father was permitted).

I was arrested in 2017 under false allegations made by the father, kept locked up in a cell like a criminal for over 9 hours, interviewed under caution until being released without charge and left stranded at a police station away from my vehicle. I insisted police drive me to collect my vehicle but was forced by police coercion prior to that to sign a non-molestation order against me. My children have been prevented from making contact with me and are still being manipulated and completely alienated from me (their mother) 9 years on (2023).

I hope you never give up Mama 👍🌷💞

Your children will learn how to fight the good fight from your experience and example. They will learn from you that becoming a HERO is not impossible.

Family court judges are getting bolder. Judges are supposed to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, but they are not even trying to hide their intentions. Judge Albis is very clear in his order that the father has complete control over the children's relationship with their mother. He is punishing the mother and children for no reason. Their pain and suffering do not matter to him. Family court judges are shining a spotlight on their own dangerous conduct. Hopefully, their arrogance will lead to changes that will protect mothers and children instead of endangering them.

There is no justice for women. We need our own international women’s justice system.

Well here is some good news. The links below are the opinions of the appellate court that I did pro se. I was able to get # 2 of my complaint REVERSED - the part about dad having the power over visitation. Right now opposing counsel has asked the court to reconsider, so we are still waiting, but if you read the opinion in that section closely, you will see that two of the three judges "got it." They pretty much say everything you all have commented about. This has been especially hard for me these past four years, but I will not give up the fight. My children deserve to have me in their lives. Thank you all for your kind words and support. Margaret

Update, last week, the judge found my ex in contempt and fined him for not engaging my daughter and I in family therapy which was a part of the original order. He has until July 10 to comply. This is one of the first times I have heard of a family court judge actually finding someone in con$250tempt and punishing him, $250. I am hopeful that karma is coming around.

Cheers!
