An Iowa father is knocked off his feet by his ex-wife after she drives straight into him.
Events caught on a school surveillance camera in Oelwein, Iowa on January 28 hold many lessons for the family court reform movement. The entire event can be seen here, and it makes fascinating viewing.
According to the dad, whom I will call “Josh”, he enjoys 50/50 shared parenting of his five children under Iowa’s fairly enlightened shared parenting laws. He claims mom had interfered with his designated parenting time the day before, so on the day of the videotaped incident, Josh was determined to avoid a repeat. He notified the school that he would be picking his daughter up an hour early. But the school notified mom, who came to the school six minutes before Josh.

Some Ethical Attorneys Do Exist!
The following post Not Seeing Your Child, Is it Alienation or Estrangement? is from the Tracey A. Bloodsaw NYC Family Law Blog. The blog is very informative in regards to PAS and child custody issues and I would recommend checking it out. It is nice to know that there are some ethical attorneys out there looking to do the right thing. I wish Ms. Bloodsaw practiced in NH. Ms. Bloodsaw sounds like someone that could have truly helped me and a lot of other unfortunate parents that have been separated from their children in NH. Keep up the good work on fighting PAS Ms. Bloodsaw and thank you for your informative blog.

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.
