The Gregory Mantell Show -- Parental Alienation Syndrome

Here is a Youtube video I came across about the effects of Parental Alienation on kids.  This 26 minute video is excellent and will help you understand just what parental alienation is doing to our kids.  There were many comments on Youtube that alienating parents should be made to watch this video.  The sad thing is, the alienating parents watching this video probably wouldn't get it.  Unethical attorney's like Jaye Rancourt would be unfazed.  Unethical Guardian Ad Litem's like Doug Thornton wouldn't believe it.  Unethical Marital Master's like David Forrest would just ignore it.  With that in mind, I watched the video to help myself deal with the alienation my ex has forced upon my kids.  My hope is that one day my kids will grow up and see the light.  It's a terrible thing to have your children constantly tell you that they hate you.  Just remember, it's not there fault.  Continue to give them unconditional love.

How To Enforce Visitation Rights Yourself (From mensnewsdaily.com)

I came across this article and found this to be interesting.  When reading this article, keep in mind that NH has a statute on Interference of Custody which is NH RSA 633:4.  Also, keep in mind when the author talks about audio recording interaction with your ex, NH is not a one party state which means you have to notify the other person that you are audio recording them and if you do not it's a felony.

How To Enforce Visitation Rights Yourself

2007-12-23

By David R. Usher

Many men find themselves caught between police officers who refuse to enforce visitation rights and family judges who refuse to do anything after-the-fact. This happens because police do not have a method to use. Since feminists won’t give them one, it is up to us to show them the way.

In the 1990s, I developed an effective method for visitation / parenting time enforcement that worked very well. We ended up training the St. Louis Police Department with it. Please note that I am not an attorney and that this method should not be construed as legal advice. It is experiential advice that is being handed down from one activist to another.

Courts in N.H. struggle with load - Counties see rise in delayed rulings (From a 2008 Article)

Courts in N.H. struggle with load

Counties see rise in delayed rulings

Associated Press / September 29, 2008

KEENE, N.H. - More people are being left in legal limbo because of increased caseloads, more complex cases, and shortages of judges and clerical staff at New Hampshire's Superior Courts.

Cheshire County has one full-time judge, Brian Tucker, and one part-time judge, John Arnold, who spends six months of the year in Sullivan County, where he is the only active judge.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that every day there are at least two stacks at least a foot tall of routine matters on Judge Tucker's desk," said Cheshire County Superior Court Clerk Barbara Hogan. "Some days there are four or five stacks, and he gets them done every day. He's working them before and after the court opens."

US Supreme Court to Hear Case Challenging Constitutionality of Jailing Parents for Inability to Pay Child Support (From the Fathers and Families Website)

Fathers and Families has for many years publicized the terrible child support problems often faced by low income obligors, and we've had some legislative success on the issue. Nevertheless, the problem remains acute, particularly due to the recession.

The injustice is typified by the case of Jeremy Lavine, one of three Fathers and Families supporters quoted in a national Associated Press article on the issue.

Lavine worked in the real estate industry and had a  $1,100 a month child support obligation based on a $4,500 a month income. Like so many in the real estate industry, his income dropped precipitously, yet the Florida Department of Children and Families told him his industry was going to bounce back and refused to give him a downward modification. The kicker? Lavine's kids live with him 50% of the time.

My Ex-Wife’s Mobbing Behavior – One Of The Keys To Her Success With Alienating Our Children From Me

If you’re doing your research on Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), I would recommend you read about mobbing.  Mobbing is using a group of people to bully against one person.   With every group there is always a ringleader.  In my case it was my ex-wife.  My ex-wife has mobbing down to a science and she used others to bully me for years without my knowledge.  Evil people like my ex-wife will use unsuspecting people in their mobbing campaign to beat you up.  They manipulate others into doing their bullying. 

In the case of my ex-wife, she began to mob me with her family, my sister, her friends, my friends, our friends, my boss and other co-workers.  Every time she felt I was out of line, she tried to turn people against me.  She liked to put me on public trial regarding our marital problems by using friends and family as the jury.  It’s no wonder that after twelve years of marriage I finally had enough of her behavior.

New York Judge Robert A. Ross Takes Parental Alienation Seriously - NH Judges and Marital Masters Could Learn Something From This Judge – (Post is from the Blog of Tracey A. Bloodsaw NYC Family Law Blog)

New Development in Parental Alienation in New York

      Many of you might have already heard, in the news, by your attorney or by someone affected by the case itself, that a Nassau County Supreme Court judge recently ordered a custodial mother to six weekends of incarceration for repeatedly alienating her child from the non-custodial father.  This decision has gotten the attention of practitioners across the state (and beyond) and the media, even being featured on Fox’s “Good Day New York” this past week, which included an interview with divorce attorney Raoul Felder. 

      The Honorable Justice Robert A. Ross ruled that the custodial mother, willfully violated the court order for child visitation by deliberately alienating the elementary school aged children from her ex-husband, the children’s non-custodial father.   Justice Ross stated:

 ”the evidence before me demonstrates a pattern of willful and calculated violations of the clear and express dictates of the parties’ Stipulation of Settlement. The extensive record is replete with instances of attempts to undermine the relationship between the children and their father and replace him with her new husband, manipulation of defendant’s parenting access, utter and unfettered vilification of the defendant to the children, false reporting of sexual misconduct without any semblance of ‘good faith’ and her imposition upon the children to fear her tirades and punishment if they embrace the relationship they want to have with their father.”

BRENTWOOD – Kristin Ruggiero, who is already in prison for trying to trick police and set up her ex-husband, is facing 21 new charges that allege she committed perjury and manipulated witnesses and evidence during her trial, according to indictments released Wednesday.

Ruggiero, 35, was indicted by a Rockingham County grand jury, as were her mother, Elizabeth McDonald of East Kingston, her boyfriend, Brendan Bisbee, also of East Kingston, and her ex-brother-in-law Daniel Ruggiero of Enfield, Conn.

Some Ethical Attorneys Do Exist!

The following post Not Seeing Your Child, Is it Alienation or Estrangement? is from the Tracey A.

Not Seeing Your Child, Is it Alienation or Estrangement?

Filed Under (Family Law, Divorce) by admin on 05-02-2008


          This month I will focus on Parental Alienation, which is keeping the non-custodial parent, typically the father, out of the child’s life.  Parental Alienation is a very sensitive and highly complex topic.  In fact, Parental Alienation Syndrome (“PAS”) is a somewhat recent phenomenon that is often disputed but very real concept, usually resulting in very dire consequences.  I have been holding off on approaching the topic of parental alienation because I wanted to aptly “time” this very heated discussion.  However, recently I was representing a non-custodial father in a child visitation case in Family Court, where we had every reason to have the court rightfully grant my client at least supervised visitation.  However, the court acquiesced in the custodial parent’s deliberate interference with child visitation, essentially co-signing and perpetuating the alienation.  After not having any contact with his son for six years, the court refused to order even telephone contact for my client, reasoning that she “would not put the child through that”.  “The child” had a relationship with his father, he in fact lived with both parents for a period of his life.

Legislator wants NH AG elected (From UnionLeader.com Saturday, January 15, 2011)

Legislator wants NH AG elected

By GARRY RAYNO
New Hampshire Union Leader Staff

CONCORD – The prime sponsor of a bill that would require the New Hampshire attorney general to join other states in challenging the federal health care reform law may propose that the attorney general be elected by the Legislature.

Before a legislative committee Thursday, Attorney General Michael Delaney said he opposes House Bill 89 mandating that he join a lawsuit, brought by Florida and several other states, challenging the federal health care act. The suit claims the federal law is unconstitutional because it requires people to buy health insurance. 

Parental Alienation Condoned By Attorney Jaye L. Rancourt, GAL/Attorney Douglas A. Thornton, Marital Master David S. Forrest, and Judge John P. Arnold (Part 2)

(To Read Part 1 Click Here)

I think back to time when I would listen to Kenny Loggins song Return to Pooh Corner and proudly look upon my sleeping children.  The hard thing to get over is how Attorney’s like Jaye Rancourt, GAL’s like Doug Thornton, Marital Masters like David Forrest and Judges like John Arnold stole it all away from me by the roles they played in helping my ex-wife to alienate my children from me.  I have read from others that it’s like mourning for your children’s death but you know they are still very much alive.

These people are responsible for seeing that I will never get a chance to watch my children grow up.  They are the ones that played the biggest role in condoning my ex-wife’s parental alienation behavior by rewarding her. 

I have heard some justify parental alienation by saying that it might just be a mother protecting her children, just as these corrupt people I am sure have justified it in their own minds.  What are these people protecting the children from?  I never abused my kids.  I was always there for them.  I was often complimented by my ex wife’s family for being the great dad until the divorce when my ex declared an all out smear campaign.  Then I was portrayed as incompetent and selfish.  A man that thought of their own needs before they thought of their children’s needs.  This is utter nonsense.

Was I selfish when I decided to put my foot down and tell my ex that I was tired of her years of abuse and I didn’t want the children to keep on being in the middle?  Was I selfish for wanting to get away from the physical abuse my ex-wife inflicted upon me?  Was I selfish when I had enough of my ex calling my friends, my family, her family and my boss and telling them I had a “Chemical Imbalance.”

Misguided DV Groups Back Discredited Battered Mothers Custody Conference

January 10th, 2011 by Glenn Sacks, MA, Executive Director

The Eighth Annual Battered Mothers Custody Conference was held over the weekend in Albany, New York. Several misguided domestic violence advocacy groups, including the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the National Network Against Domestic Violence, co-sponsored the conference. Sadly, this is a prime example of a serious problem afflicting most domestic violence organizations, one which tarnishes the often noble work they do—their consistent failure to recognize and acknowledge false abuse accusations.

Supreme Court Rules Against Judge John P. Arnold’s Decision To Sentence Man Twice For The Same Crime

Read the section of the article highlighted in yellow.  How is it that a NH Judge doesn’t know the law on Double Jeopardy and that it takes a trip to the Supreme Court to bring this out?  Any Part Time Police Officer in the State of NH is taught that you can’t charge and convict someone twice for the same crime.  Is this another example of Judge Arnold’s incompetence?  With decisions like this, what does it mean for people going through family court in front of this Judge?  What does it mean when this Judge signs off on Master David Forrest’s decisions?

Judge keeps same sentence

Former teacher argued for more probation, less jail time

By Casey Farrar
Sentinel Staff

Published:

Thursday, January 6, 2011 12:17 PM EST

Despite winning an appeal from the state’s highest court last year, a former Marlborough School teacher will still serve six months in jail on a child pornography conviction.

Bryan T. Farr, 35, was in Cheshire County Superior Court Wednesday for a re-sentencing.

In early 2009, Farr pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and delivering child pornography, both felonies.

On the conviction for delivering child pornography, Farr was sentenced to a year at the Cheshire County jail with six months suspended for three years.

He received a suspended prison sentence of three to six years, with 10 years of probation for his conviction on possession of child pornography.

But following a N.H. Supreme Court decision in October that ruled Farr could not be charged with both counts because they were for the same crime, prosecutors and Farr’s attorney agreed that the possession charge and its prison sentence would be dropped.

Attorney Heather Krans Of Concord NH Joins The Unethical “Wall Of Shame”

Heather Krans an Attorney with Robert Stein & Associates, PLLC, Concord, NH joins the Unethical “Wall Of Shame.”  I recently had the displeasure of meeting Heather Krans when I went in front of the NH Appellate Board in Concord where she was acting as chair person and hearing my case about unemployment. 

Krans was presented with physical evidence that my employer lied during the initial hearing and she refused to consider it.  All I was asking is that there be a rehearing to introduce the new evidence which would prove my employer lied.  I had several key pieces of new evidence to show that my employer had lied under oath at the hearing.  The outcome of the hearing would have been different, had this new information been available at the time of the hearing, because the Chairman at the initial hearing, based his decision directly on the lies my employer testified to under oath and even referenced these lies in his decision.  I also provided evidence to show that my constitutional rights were violated.  Krans wouldn’t consider the physical evidence which showed my employer lied and violated my constitutional rights. 

If I was convicted of murder and all of a sudden new DNA evidence came available to prove that it wasn’t me that committed the crime, I sure wouldn’t want Heather Krans deciding my fate.  Krans I believe is not competent to be impartial and should not be sitting on the NH Appellate Board.  Krans I believe does not care about peoples constitutional rights.  Krans in my opinion is a crooked attorney that will work to cover up the incompetence and injustice in her field.  She definitely is not one to police her field.  Just the opposite. 

In my opinion, getting a fair hearing in NH is impossible due to the size of the state.  Small states breed large amounts of corruption.  People like Krans don’t want to admit there is a problem.  It’s called ignorance.  State agencies in NH cover for each other.  I feel that is just what Krans is doing.  There is no impartiality as far as I can see.  If ever a state needed FBI intervention it’s NH.  I have enough evidence to bring down a lot of people in public positions when I find someone to look at the evidence and to listen to what I have to say. 

In the past I have made reports to the Attorney General’s office.  If you know of corruption in NH don’t waste your time with them either.  They too like to cover up crimes involving NH governmental agencies.  It’s a vicious circle that you can’t infiltrate.  I will share proof of my allegations with anyone that thinks I’m just saying this with nothing to back it up.  It’s time to get rid of corruption in NH.  I think we need to start with people like Krans. 

Parental Alienation: Why Kids Usually Side with the Custodial Parent Especially If They’re Abusive

Thursday, March 11, 2010

By Dr. Tara J. Palmatier

Do your children refuse to see you since you and your ex separated? When you actually get to see your kid(s), do they lash out at you? Do they know things about your break-up or divorce that they shouldn’t know? Do they “diagnose” or berate you by using adult terms and expressions that are beyond their years?
If so, you’re probably experiencing the effects of parental alienation or hostile aggressive parenting. It’s normal to have hard feelings at the end of a significant relationship, however, you have a choice about how you handle it.
Most cases of parental alienation occur in dissolved marriages/relationships, break ups, and divorces in which there’s a high degree of conflict, emotional abuse and/or mental illness or personality disorders.
If you were emotionally abused by your ex while you were still together, then your kid(s) learned some powerful lessons about relationships, especially if you had a “no talk” policy about the rages, yelling, emotional withdrawal, cold silences and verbal attacks. Children are adversely affected by witnessing constant conflict and overt and covert relational abuse, no matter their age.
