WANTED FOR THE UNETHICAL "WALL OF SHAME"

Information to post on Unethical NH Attorneys, Guardian Ad Litems, Marital Masters, Judges or any other persons involved in "Judicial Child Abuse" or "Judicial Child Neglect." Please email details to nh.unethical.attorney@gmail.com. We will not post your identity or give out your personal information.

Message Board:

We need to keep the pressure on the NH Family Courts by educating the public about the numerous injustices occurring. Please feel free to send us your information for posting. I have not had any recent dealings with the court system so I do not have current information to post. The best way to deal with these unethical judges, guardian ad litems and lawyers is to post as much on them as you can so that people do not want to do business with them. I have personally known judges that have their own practices as most judges are attorneys first. Hit these people where it counts. Their wallets. Starve them out and cut off their funds. When people do not want to use their services, they will have to change their evil ways or be unemployed.

State Rep. George Lambert Authorizes four Subpoenas of N.H. Judges Who may Be Involved in Conspiracy


N.H. State Rep. George Lambert, Brad Jardis, and Jason Talley are defenders of freedom, advocates of liberty, and strict constructionists of the Constitution.

Please watch this very important video wherein Jardis and Lambert breathe life into the subpoenas of 4 N.H. Judges who may be complicit in fraud and conspiracy to deprive a citizen of his liberty.

Joshua Youssef Takes on Tracy Bernson, Nancy Geiger, and the N.H. Family Court

Wednesday, March 7, 2012


Pt.2 - Joshua Youssef Takes on Tracy Bernson, Nancy Geiger, and the N.H. Family Court



As many of you recall, On Feb. 2, 2012, Joshua Youssef testified before the Redress of Grievance Committee at the N.H. House of Representatives regarding the destruction that was leveled upon his family when the N.H. Family Court ripped his son from him 13 months prior - with no findings of abuse or neglect!

In this second hearing installment, Mr. Youssef takes on several more tough legal and procedural issues that cut right to the heart of the corruption in the N.H. Family Court and N.H. Judiciary in General - specifically:

   1) how former guardian ad litem Tracy Bernson filed a false police report, and through her attorney has attempted to improperly influence 2 judges that have been involved in the Youssef matter - a Class-B felony under N.H. RSA :3

   2) How N.H. Circuit Court Administrative Judge Edwin Kelly contradicted himself by saying he cannot adjudicate Youssef's grievances and that "appeal" is the only procedural remedy - but then he signed 2 orders granting recusal of the incompetent, corrupt, feminist Marital Master Nancy J. Geiger and changing the case venue

   3) How Youssef's May 20th, 2011 parenting plan was not ordered in accordance with N.H. RSA 490-D:9, and thus, should not be enforceable; and how the court "apologized" to Mr. Youssef basically asking Youssef to "cut them some slack." (quotations added)

   4) How Pt.2, Article 73-a of the N.H. Constitution has created a self-regulating judiciary that is not subject to government of, by, and for the people, and thus is a hotbed of corruption, as is evidenced by N.H. Family Court Rule 1.2, N.H. Supreme Court Rule 3(9), et. al.

   5) How N.H. House of Representatives Lawyer Edward C. Mosca's utilized his position as house counsel to "bully" Mr. Youssef from appearing at the Legislature, and how there is a very serious conflict of interest by allowing House Counsel to conduct a private law practice.

You will note that Youssef uses copious documentation to support his claims. Every single one of the questions asked of Mr. Youssef were addressed with law and fact and Youssef has indicated that he is available for comment.

It is amazing the lengths that public officials will go to in order to cover up their corruption!

Massachusetts Attorney Speak Of Issues With Family Courts – Rinaldo Del Gallo III Writes “An Open Letter To The Family Courts” – From The Website Of IntellectualConservitive.com

An Open Letter to the Family Courts
By Rinaldo Del Gallo III, on February 19th, 2007

A mother lives openly with her boyfriend while still married to her husband. Guess who gets awarded custody of their children?


I will never forget one particular case that opened my eyes to the reality of the family court. It happened when I first started practicing family law in Massachusetts. A mother wanted to divorce the father, who was a practicing Catholic. While still married to the father, the mother openly lived with a boyfriend with the children present, including an impressionable teenage girl. In pursuit of the free exercise of his religion, and making full use of his right to free expression, the father told his daughter that what his mother was doing was wrong and that adultery was a sin under the Catholic faith. During the course of litigation, the judge became especially angry when it was argued on the father's behalf that the environment created by the adulterous mother was not a good environment for children. New in the field, I was shocked that the father was lambasted for telling the child that adultery was bad, and that although the child should love and respect her mother, the daughter should understand that adultery was bad and a sin. To my shock and amazement the argument put forth was that father was "alienating" his daughter from the mother by making the daughter think less of the mother.

Dr. Richard A. Warshak Talks About Successfully Restored Relationships Between Parents And Alienated Children – When It Comes To Understanding Parental Alienation He Appears To Be Light Years Ahead Of The Family Court System - Parents And Children That Are Victims Of Parental Alienation Need To Go To Dr. Warshak’s Website And Learn From His Knowledge

Remedies for Alienated Children (From The Website Of Dr. Richard A. Warshak)

Divorce Poison™ Antidote of the Month

Welcome Back, Pluto: Understanding, Preventing, and Overcoming Parental Alienation

In terms of scope and potential to prevent and alleviate irrational alienation, this new DVD is more than an Antidote of the Month. Apart from the revised edition of Divorce Poison, Welcome Back, Pluto has been my major assignment for the past two years. It is the most powerful resource I can recommend for children who reject a parent or are being influenced to do so. Read more.

Successfully Restored Relationships

Hope for Future Reconciliation

Despite their overt attitudes, many children who reject a parent secretly long for an excuse to reestablish contact. In addition to maturity, physically leaving the orbit of the favored parent, and becoming more psychologically independent, two situations that can form unexpected bridges to a reconciliation are:
    1. growing conflict with the favored parent, and
    2. financial dependence on the rejected parent.
In some families, for instance, children run into economic difficulty, such as needing funds for college, and this becomes the rationale for contacting the rejected parent.

Second Wife to Judge: ‘Your Courts Are Destroying My Family’ (From The Fathers And Families Website)

Second Wife to Judge: ‘Your Courts Are Destroying My Family’

December 8th, 2011 by Robert Franklin, Esq.

This short entry caught my eye (NH Insider, 12/6/11).  Why wouldn’t it?  It’s by a woman named Samantha Haas who asks a simple question, “why wouldn’t shared parenting be supported?”  It turns out she’s the daughter of a divorced couple who did share parenting and she’s got some important ideas about the value it.

Here’s her piece in full.
Children deserve the very best from BOTH parents.  Parents have the Right to raise their children and make sure they are safe, educated, healthy and responsible.
If a parent of right mind understands the importance of both parents being equally involved with their children; then why wouldn’t that parent support it? 
False allegations and domestic violence are far too common.  And it happens by women and men, and now more than ever, the Family Courts turn the other cheek.

Victory—In Face of Opposition, Leahy Scraps VAWA Draft Provision Which Lowers Evidence Standards - From The "Fathers And Families" Website

Victory—In Face of Opposition, Leahy Scraps VAWA Draft Provision Which Lowers Evidence Standards

November 16th, 2011 by Glenn Sacks, MA, Executive Director

False allegations of abuse are common in family court, and have been used to separate many fathers (and some mothers) from their children. The reasons for this problem are many, but one of the biggest is the low evidence standard for upholding abuse claims.

The common evidence standard for domestic violence restraining orders is “preponderance of the evidence,” often conceptualized as a mere 51/49% likelihood of guilt. By contrast, when someone seeks a civil restraining order, the more stringent and appropriate “clear and convincing” evidence standard is used.

In practice, this means that when neighbors Bob and Jim have a dispute over Bob’s dog eating Jim’s flowers, and Jim allegedly threatens to throw rocks at Bob’s dog, the courts demand that Bob provide solid evidence to support his claims of Jim’s threats. By stark contrast, if Bob’s wife decides to divorce him and seeks to throw him out of his house on a restraining order and cut him off from his kids, she has a much lower burden of proof on her claims.

OK Legislator Blasts Family Law System; F & F’s Gregory Tells Committee ‘We Need Shared Parenting’ - From The "Fathers And Families" Website

OK Legislator Blasts Family Law System; F & F’s Gregory Tells Committee ‘We Need Shared Parenting’

November 8th, 2011 by Glenn Sacks, MA, Executive Director

An adult child of divorce, Rep. Jason Nelson criticized the courts for marginalizing his father.

Fathers and Families member Chris Gregory, a Marine combat veteran of Desert Storm and Somalia, recently told an Oklahoma House of Representatives committee that the family law system is rife with injustices and often separates children from the fathers they love and need.

Led by Representative Mark McCullough and Representative Jason Nelson, the Oklahoma House of Representatives conducted an interim study on family law and no fault divorce earlier this month. According to the legislators’ press release here, “Oklahoma’s family law is dangerously failing the children it is supposed to protect, leading some lawmakers to consider reform of both divorce statutes and the foster-care system.”

Who In The World Is Ed Mosca? - From The Website Of NH Corruption Watch

Who in the world is Ed Mosca?


Just who is Ed Mosca? Well, a quick glance at his caseload will reveal that he is not in very high demand as a lawyer. He typically handles N.H. Bar referrals of low-income litigants typically fighting for "big purses." He often works on contingency and a look into some of his motion practice, reveals that he is apparently not very intelligent.

One of his former clients reports that he "bailed out" at the last minute before a hearing, leaving the client "high and dry." This type of unethical behavior is evidently not uncharacteristic of Ed Mosca.
In another case, apparently Ed Mosca has engaged in unethical behavior that has put him on the hot-seat before a Family Court for alleged contempt practices and violations of the N.H. Professional Rules of Conduct.


Now, as counsel to the N.H. General Court, Ed Mosca has apparently brought his inane and disingenuous antics to the State House.

N.H. Corruption Watch will be keeping a close eye on Ed Mosca, and will be sharing its findings relative to his practices and conduct as information become available.

In the mean time, email nh.corruption.watch@gmail.com.

House Counsel Ed Mosca Arrives Unprepared, Abets judicial child abuse (From The Judicial Child Abuse Blog)

House Counsel Ed Mosca Arrives Unprepared, Abets judicial child abuse

The following letter was sent to the N.H. House Judiciary Committee  on Nov. 5, 2011 and was obtained by STOP Judicial Child Abuse investigators.

Apparently, house counsel Ed Mosca arrived unprepared to adequately advise the Judiciary Sub-committee at a hearing on Tues., Nov. 1, 2011 forcing the sub-committee to reconvene for another hearing approximately a month later - all while hundreds, if not thousands of children remain estranged from fit parents.

Read the letter below, reproduced in blue.

 

Nov. 5, 2011

Dear Honorable Judiciary Committee Representatives,

Below, I have prepared a quick research memorandum of law, which will hopefully answer your question as to whether a "marital master is a judicial officer under the N.H. Constitution."  I was present at the hearing this past week on HR7 and there seemed to be a problem extracting definitive answers from house counsel Edward Mosca.  He did not arrive prepared (no handouts, no answers, etc.) and brought no binding authority (case law, etc.).  I am merely a concerned citizen, bringing these answers to you.

Battle For Alimony Reform Heats Up In FL, CA - From The Fathers And Families Website - Is This A Step Towards Equality For Men?

Battle for Alimony Reform Heats up in FL, CA

November 21st, 2011 by Glenn Sacks, MA, Executive Director

A Florida bill has been introduced to abolish lifetime alimony and clean up other abuses within the system, similar to the alimony reform bill recently passed in Massachusetts. One of Florida’s largest newspapers, the Orlando Sentinel, attacked the bill as a windfall for “wealthy men who cheat on their wives.”

Many Fathers and Families members have experienced the injustices of the current alimony system firsthand–we ask that you write a Letter to the Editor of the Sentinel by clicking here and/or comment on the bill here.

Man Seeks Restitution From Ex-Wife In Fraud Case - From Citizen.Com


Man seeks restitution from ex-wife in fraud case

By BEA LEWIS blewis@citizen.com | Posted: Monday, November 21, 2011 6:00 am

LACONIA — A New Hampton man says he feels victimized by his ex-wife as well as the justice system.

David Prutzanni, 56, of 714 Straights Rd., New Hampton, claims in documents on file at the Belknap County Superior Court in Laconia that his now-ex-wife fraudulently signed his name to numerous checks, stealing $86,000 from a home equity line of credit and an additional $14,000 in cash from his personal checking account. He alleges she used the bulk of the money to buy drugs.

Prutzanni’s ex-wife, JeanMarie Leonard, 52, of Laconia, was indicted in April on a Class B felony charge of forgery. The state charged that, in October 2005, she executed a written home equity line of credit agreement, disclosure statement and note by signing Prutzanni’s signature without his authorization and that her intent was to defraud.

Marital Master Philip Cross - Destroying Children - Destroying Families - Destroying Lives


Dear Readers,

  This expose was received by the STOP Judicial Child Abuse Blog from a litigant who is suffering at the tyrannical hands of Marital Master Philip Cross, who is under investigatory impeachment by the NH Legislature.  It is reproduced in full, unedited form in black below.

  Please take a moment to read about this Judicial Child Abuser.  Formulate your own opinions and as always, we welcome your feedback!

Sincerely
Stop Judicial Child Abuse

·         [Art.] 73. [Tenure of Office To Be Expressed in Commissions; Judges to Hold Office During Good Behavior, etc.; Removal.] The tenure that all commissioned officers shall have by law in their offices shall be expressed in their respective commissions, and all judicial officers duly appointed, commissioned and sworn, shall hold their offices during good behavior except those for whom a different provision is made in this constitution. The governor with consent of the council may remove any commissioned officer for reasonable cause upon the address of both houses of the legislature, provided nevertheless that the cause for removal shall be stated fully and substantially in the address and shall not be a cause which is a sufficient ground for impeachment, and provided further that no officer shall be so removed unless he shall have had an opportunity to be heard in his defense by a joint committee of both houses of the legislature.

Just read the cases of Johnson v. Johnson, Puiia v Miner, Whelen v Emerson, Miller v. Todd, and now Kenick v Kenick:

1. He recommended an order holding a father in criminal contempt following a hearing that had been noticed as a civil contempt hearing, which order resulted in that father, who was representing himself and was the primary custodian of the parties' minor child, to be incarcerated for 10 weeks, in contravention of his right not to be deprived of liberty but by the judgment of his peers, as guaranteed by Part 1, Article 15 of the New Hampshire Constitution.

Is Town Of Fitzwilliam, NH Recreation Department Coordinator Julie Green Responsible For Promoting Parental Alienation Involving An Innocent Eight Year Old Child? – Disturbing Correspondence From Green Telling A Father That He Can Not Have A Schedule Of His Son’s Soccer Games Or Notice Of When And Whom Is Taking League Pictures Of His Son So That He (The Legal And Biological Father) Can Obtain Copies Of His Son’s Yearly Soccer Picture.

I am outraged by an email that I received the other day from Julie Green, the Recreation Department Coordinator of the Town of Fitzwilliam, NH.  I decided to post this email so that others will understand just what alienated parents go through to keep involved in their children’s lives and the numerous hurdles that we have to jump. 

Many people have children who have been alienated by the other parent.  Legally we are their parents and by a divorce decree we have joint decision making but unless the other parent is willing to cooperate, we forfeit our joint decision making as the court seldom enforces this provision in divorce decrees when parents violate it. 

In my case when I went in front of Master David Forrest and raised the issues that my ex wouldn’t communicate anything with me about our children like when they had doctors visits, dentist visits, school activities, sports, summer camp, etc, Master decided to empower her and her attorney Jaye Rancourt and rule that she was doing everything reasonable to keep me informed.  I raised numerous issues with Master in regards to Parental Alienation but again the Master decided that my concerns were meaningless.

Fathers Deserve Equal Protections - A Letter Posted On The Keene Sentinel

Fathers deserve equal protections

Posted: Sunday, October 2, 2011 9:00 am

Fathers deserve equal protections

An American tragedy, rarely reported by the media, is how unfairly many divorced fathers are treated in the Family Court.

The court justifies this, claiming to act in the best interests of children. Is it in the best interest of children to put their fathers in jail when Daddy has lost his job, can’t find work, and falls behind in his support payments? Why aren’t the courts flexible, especially in today’s economy?

While it is a father’s responsibility to support his children, it is the court’s execution of this principle that is often so disturbing.

The court’s intransigence can extend to men who are not fathers, too. Recently, DNA proved a man was not the biological father. He was ordered to keep on paying. This is justice?

How Have Individual People Been Dealing With The Loss Of Their Children From Judicial Child Abuse – One Step Mother Tries To Appeal To NH Administrative Judge Edwin W. Kelly – Read Her Story.

The story is all too familiar.  Many of us that have been involved with the NH Family Court System find that it is unfair, unjust and far from unbiased.  It seems that our family court system is destroying our families instead of trying to help them.  Why would that be?

Money seems to be a driving factor in the modern family court system.  This is a multibillion dollar business.  Judges and Marital Masters are employed by family’s misfortunes.  Let’s not forget about the court staff that is also employed in this business.  How about the GAL’s that make money from this system or the therapist that have to be involved in many of these cases.  What about the people that the state employs with DHHS that have jobs collecting the millions of dollars in child support that is court ordered for which federal funds are diverted to the state to employ these people. 

Did I mention the attorneys that litigate these cases too?  Let’s not forget these people.  At fees of $250 and up per hour, how many of these attorneys’s feel the need to keep the litigation to a minimum?

WMUR News Nine in NH aired a special report on Thursday July 28, 2011 in regards to “Fathers Claim NH Courts Biased Against Them.” 

We were all hopeful that Channel Nine News would report on the facts involving reasons why there are so many people speaking out about the NH Family Court System.  After all, last month Thomas Ball set himself on fire in front of the Cheshire County Superior Court (In Cheshire County the Superior Court acts as the family court since the state never funded a separate family division as every other county in the state appears to have done.  This means that the same Judges that hear criminal matters also are dealing with marital matters which are a major conflict).

A Must See Video On The Thomas Ball Story - Free Keene TV Covers Memorial Service And Conducts Interviews - Sheriff Richard Foote Tells Reporters They Will Be Arrested And Their Equipment Will Be Confiscated If Reporters Enter Court Building With Video Equipment

For those who don't know who Thomas Ball is, he is the man who self immolated himself on the steps of the Cheshire County Superior Court by dousing himself with Gasoline and setting himself on fire on Wednesday evening of June 15, 2011. 

Mr. Ball appeared to sacrifice his life to bring attention to issues involving the unfairness of treatment of men in the NH Family Court System.

Several topics are discussed including Judge Edward Kelly's order that no audio or video recording equipment (including cell phones) are allowed in the Cheshire County Superior Court.  This is an issue as the court system is using this for blocking reproduction of court files which are open to the public for inspection under RSA 91:a the right to know law. 

During the Filming, Sheriff Richard Foote tells reporters that they will be arrested if they enter the courthouse with their recording equipment.  When Foote is questioned about Kelly's order he states that he has not seen the order.  Pay careful attention to the Deputy Sheriff who is filming this whole confrontation.
