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.

A Recent Experience Of Nicholas Haas Attempting To Speak To Judge Edwin Kelly

Family Court Justice? Think again....

On Wednesday, October 5th 2011, Hooksett Town Official, Nicholas Haas, of Hooksett NH, went to the Honorable Edwin Kelly's office in Concord NH.

Mr. Haas, a concerned citizen of the wrong-doings happening to parents in New Hampshire, was requesting a 10 minute meeting with Judge Kelly.

Mr. Haas spoke with Judge Kelly's Secretary through an intercom, who then told Mr. Haas that Judge Kelly does not meet with citizens involving open cases, and that he can contact Judge Kelly in writing.

A New Hampshire Citizen, requested a meeting with the Administrative Court Judge, only to be denied his rights AS a citizen, to be heard on an issue that involves families all across the state.

Mr. Haas and his wife, Samantha Haas, have tried contacting Judge Kelly "in writing" on more than one occasion.  Sometimes they receive a letter that states Judge Kelly cannot help, and sometimes, the requests in writing simply go unanswered.

The NH House Redress Committee and the Sliver of Hope, the Shimmer of Light, will Expose a Corrupt Family Court System or allow us to Embrace and support the hard work of the Judiciary and the other officers of the court.

Two Stories (Read Last Two Post)…………………

One side fights hard so you can hear the story………. Fighting Hard for the Kids that need to be heard and have been hurt by those   …………

That are on the Other Side……

The side that fights hard to make sure you never hear the story ……………

There is yet another side - A side that sees the benefits of the NH Redress Committe and the benefit of oversight for both sides. 

The story of the why the judiciary and officials of the courts would rather hurt the kids, than make decisions that will help them to become the happy, well adjusted, individuals, they deserve an opportunity to be and who will someday become parents themselves.    

Why such extreme differences in opinion when it comes to kids?

Redress panel threatens autonomy of three branches

By EDWIN W. KELLY

Guest Commentary

Our constitution requires that judges be “as impartial as the lot of humanity will admit.” It also provides for three separate branches of government that are as independent of each other “as is consistent with the chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the constitution in one indissoluble bond of union and amity.”

Curious 18th-century phrases? Or pithy prescriptions for a healthy democracy?

I choose to believe the latter.

The founders called for neither a system of justice where judges were expected to be above the people or perfect in their decisions. Rather, they called for judges who reflected the people, judges as impartial as the lot of humanity will admit.

And recognizing that judges will err, our founders also established the mechanics of judicial review or, in modern parlance, an appellate system.

As for the relationship between and among the branches of government, our state constitution clearly stated that the executive, legislative and judicial branches function as a single unit, but retain strict independence from one another in those areas of government given exclusively to each.
