Invitation
Gordon from FLAIR is scheduled for trial, on a virtual slew of false allegations, in the Kent County Court of Common Pleas on December 7, 2010. He was served three warrants in five days. Two of the charges have already been reduced. Everyone is invited to be at CCP at 9AM. Court watchers have been requested, on various websites. His children have been denied the opportunity to even talk to him on the phone and he hasn't seen them since June 28, 1010. Who speaks for their interest? Apparently, no one, but it will be brought to the attention of the family court, on civil contempt charges and it will be addressed in the already filed lawsuit, in Superior Court, Count VII: Tortious Interference With Child Custody and/or Child Parenting Time.
Upcoming Event
The Executive Director of FLAIR is looking for volunteers to do a relay, "RUN FOR JUSTICE",(in the family court system) from the Delaware Attorney General's office in Wilmington, DE to Legislative Hall in Dover sometime in May or June. It's about 40 miles and he's looking for seven people or more. The more people the less mileage per person. For more information or to volunteer contact Gordon at weareFLAIR@gmail.com.
News of the Day, August 24, 2010 from Delaware Family Court
Today was a good day for justice in Kent County Family Court. It was a good day for men who are victims of abuse that if they were women would land the perpetrator in jail.
In the matter of the woman who had told of the pressure and coercion of domestic violence advocates, encouraging women to fabricate, exaggerate and lie about abuse (constituting false allegations); then flipped again and subjected her ex to a barrage of false civil and criminal allegations, her ex-husband secured a protection order against her. Hers was granted two weeks ago and she has used it like a sword not as a shield as it is intended. Her petition for protection was based on false allegations and implications that he was suspect in criminal acts against her that it was impossible for him to perpetrate. That's the way it goes in family court, not just in the Worst in the First but across the country: allegations from a woman's mouth, without support of any physical evidence, constitute a "preponderance of evidence" in domestic violence cases.
Today it felt good to win one in Family Court. I have sued pro-se in six states and helped others represent themselves in two additional states and winning feels so good.... you just have to experience it to begin to understand it.
Tonight though I feel bad. I feel bad for the woman who was not old enough, not experienced enough to be patient and let things play out longer. There was a good chance that things would have worked out had she given it more time. I feel bad for the ex-husband who is now forced into the position where he has to crush her in the courts as a matter of his own survival and liberty. I am sad for the children who love their father and have not seen him for almost two months. There is no replacement for their biological father who loves them more than anything or anyone in this world. It is a disservice to them to be cut off from him and be collateral damage in the war between their mother and their father.
Soon enough the next battle will commence. The next court date is set for next month. Hopefully the ex-wife is beginning to see the light; that false statements are morally and legally wrong. There will be consequences for false statements under oath and false reports.
Is this the best for anyone?
It was certainly good to win in court today but it's sad that this family has come to where they are now. Two people that I liked and their little boys.......
Instead of the rush to put fathers and mothers in the adversarial system maybe we, as a society, should do more to mediate problems rather than tear families apart.

Here it goes again
In May a woman spoke at the Family Law Commission and told the members (and public attending) that DV advocates had encouraged her to exaggerate and fabricate to obtain protection orders (she also told of sexual harassment by a Capitol Police Officer and stated that the 'voice of the victims gets lost').
Prior to her speaking at the FLC she had met with a Delaware Representative at the request of her ex, the victim of the false allegations. She had also told me when we were alone a weekend before that the "advocates get in your face and they make you feel like you WERE abused. I never felt that I was abused." She told me that her ex had never physically hurt her that he never was violent with her. To her credit she never, despite the coercion from the 'advocates', accused him of hitting, slapping, punching or what is generally considered "violence" toward her.
Well here it goes again, she filed an ex-parte emergency petition for protection, last month, when she knew that he was 800 miles away. What "violence" could anyone perpetrate from hundreds of miles away???? Launch a missile aimed at her house???
Ex-parte motions are to be used when there is immediate "danger". This is an abuse of process. No one can pose a danger to anyone from afar.
Why this woman has gone nuclear again is a mystery to me. I used to like her. She can be a nice person and a lot of fun to be with. She told me that living with her dysfunctional family makes her "mean", that it makes her a person that she doesn't want to be and maybe after two months living with them again she's become "mean". Still, I don't understand it. She and the ex have both moved on and have intimate relationships with other people. The "victims" in this are their children who are now denied contact with their father, the ex.
Stay tuned for more on this case.
The children should not be denied their right to their relationship with their father and he intends to do everything in his power to fight for their right and to defend against a protection order that will interfere with that right, his employability, his constitutional protections and his civil rights.

Family Preservation Festival this week
This week many groups and individuals will come together to discuss family law reform in Washington. We will be discussing the problems; paternity fraud, parental alienation, false allegations, visitation, child support orders etc. More importantly we will be discussing solutions. On the agenda, for example; remedies in the Federal Courts, right to free speech vs. harassment, civil rights violations in family courts just to name a few. Hope for a productive experience. To quote F4J's Donald Tenn, "Justice is coming"

Comment from the Executive Director of FLAIR
At the May 2010 Family Law Commission (FLC) meeting something monumental, something unthinkable, occured- someone stood and shared with the Commission (with Family Court Chief Judge Kuhn and Chief Court Administrator Guy Sapp in attendance) that the Domestic Violence Advocates at Kent County Court actually encouraged her to exaggerate and distort accusations of domestic abuse for purposes of obtaining a protection from abuse order (PFA).

Gordon Smith Attorney General Biden video
Video on Youtube doing good. If you "Google" "Gordon Smith Biden" you will get results to link to the video. We're over fifteen hundred now. Pretty impressive huh? What Gordon would like to see is more public awareness about the issue and discussion among the people with the power to make the needed changes.
