![]() Tracy Hayward. of Napa, just won a huge victory for herself and family court victims all over the state as California's Supreme Court upheld her appeal and DISMISSED a motion to DEPUBLISH the case. The state's highest court's ruling is proving very embarrassing for the State Bar and CJP who have unleashed bad lawyers and judges on family court litigants for decades. The ruling also tears at the judicial immunity cloak protecting private judges like Nancy Perkovich, of Sacramento, and other attorneys like Nat Hales of Santa Clara, who have been harming people trapped in divorce cases with biased private judges entrenched in cronyism. The ruling in the Hayward case is a long overdue shot across the state's judiciary to clean up bad judges and lawyers. Combined with a recent ruling slamming JAMS judges for misusing the state's Anti- Slapp laws, the crooks in family courts are getting caught and others are starting to bail like rats from a sinking ship. A day after ruling to uphold the Hayward case, the Supreme Court also ruled in favor of a case, filed by attorney and First Amendment activist- attorney, Ted Smith , related to public records that San Jose cronies had tried to conceal since 2009. This ruling clears the way for elected officials to have to cough up information on their private email and personal device accounts, which is extremely relevant given cases like Hayward that exist in family courts all over the state. Ironically James McManis, of McManis and Faulkner is graveling to get his 15 minuets of fame in the mainstream media about the importance of this ruling, while the skeletons in McManis' firm show he has continuously gouged family law litigants and was once investigated by the State Bar, himself. McManis is connected to the Santa Clara County Court's General Counsel, Lisa Herrick, who has acted to protect private judges and referees like Nat Hales in the county ever since she left McManis' firm. ( see threat made by Herrick when Q photographers filmed lawyers and judges singing about all the money they steal in family law cases) . Video loaded here. Anonymous has also assisted Q uncover financial ties to McManis and James Towery that serves as nothing less than RICO like conduct , that the Santa Clara County DA has ignored for years. During her six year divorce proceeding, stemming from a 15 year marriage, Tracy Hayward endured over five years of inept judges and lawyers who continually threatened to throw her business into receivership while failing to understand any financial issues of that business, other than how much money they could get for their own fees. Lawyers enriching themselves on community property has been an escalating problem in California in recent years. " As long as their is money there , family lawyers will keep going and going , until it is all gone " , stated one lawyer who wished to remain anonymous. " It is not surprising this case came out of Napa , that is a good old boy club that has been raking it in as long as grapes have been during into wine." In Santa Clara County, the heart of Silicon Valley and home to tech businesses and homes with huge equity, the problem is especially aggravated where Judges like James Towery , former Senior Trial Counsel of the State Bar, refuses to control or sanction attorney misconduct , allowing divorce cases to drag out for ten years or more until there is nothing left of a community estate. Towery has a long history with his short time on the bench kicking back fees to his Good-Old-Boy Network, where lawyers like McManis, Baugh, Roggia, Allan , Amini, Moreno, Hales, Cox, Houghton, and even his old law firm , Hoge Fenton, get money in indirect fee awards funded by Silicon Valley community property estates. The Hayward case also shows how in addition to mishandling financial issues, family courts appear to be failing to protect victims of domestic violence where wealthy former spouses are trying to kill, stalk or jail their ex , spouses with the assistance of well paid divorce lawyers and private or corrupt judges. Divorce cases in all counties show how physical and financial abuse is allowed to flourish in family courts where ineffective law enforcement agencies and judges ignore thousands of complaints made about violence that occurs in the secrecy of homes and family court litigation, Victims of domestic violence are being ignored by a judiciary so focused on awarding fees for a select group of lawyers, they fail to see the real issues in family law cases where safety of litigants and children should be a top concern, Faced with the reality of dysfunctional state funded watchdogs, like the State Bar and the CJP, many family court victims and lawyers outraged at the state of today's family courts are turning to social media and public advocacy and activists. Mainstream reporters who have traditionally ignored family court cases are finding many complaints that were quickly labeled raised by " disgruntled litigants" , have merit. Now it appears the state's Supreme Court is listening too. Children who have grown up in these dysfunctional family courts are growing and coming forward to tell their stories . In sharing the impact these cases have had on their lives and their families, these brave adult children may shed light on the true costs dysfunctional family courts and biased judges have on our society. Along side the Hayward case, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling that state agencies have to give up information contained in emails and personal devices. The ruling specifically applies to elected officials, which includes judges. Three months ago investigative reporters uncovered a private Gmail account of James Towery, That account is linked to both his use while sitting as a Santa Clara County judge , and also in connection with his former employment at the State Bar. According to new law , Judge Towery's Gmail account is now subject to public disclosure and since Judge Towery is not allowed to have judicial communications that would be protected on a Gmail or private device, all his emails and the communications he had with lawyers and law firms up and down the state from this account are now subject to disclosure. making Santa Clara County's family law community very nervous. Investigative reporters facing extreme judicial retaliation in recent months , along with members of Anonymous are pointing reporters and activists in the direction of addressing these critical issues in the press and legal system. The dissenting judge in the Hayward appeal case, which is now law, was correct. People up and down the state are waking up to what unfair judges and corrupt lawyer and experts have done with their children and community property in California's family courts. The Supreme Court has now legally cleared the way for family court havoc, and the $159,000,000 the courts are asking the state legislature to grant in additional funding this year will not be enough .

I am in Birmingham Alabama and without a doubt could name several corrupt attornies. Although it took a y arband a half to divorce, I lost several hundred thousand dollars to do so. The court system and attornies are not addressing my concerns, not doing what is right by the kids, and continue to ask for more money. I would love to tell my story and uncover this corrupt Shelby county county and attornies

family court services is a chop shop

Contra Costa family court services is a chop shop headed by a backwards, podunk attorney named Magda Lopez. Lopez is incapable of supervising her underlings -- or worse yet -- is willfully ignorant of their malfeasance. Mediators like Jim Paulsen routinely ignore evidence from court appointed 730 experts that don't support their agenda or bias.

Please contact me! I've also had a bad experience with Jim Paulsen who refused to look at my documents from professionals who corroborated abuse and medical neglect of my daughters and ordered my children to stay in the custody of their father who was convicted of cruelty to a child!

Please email the moderator as they know who I am and will give out my private email address.
Make sure to file a complaint ASAP with Stephen Nash at PO Box 911 martinez ca 94553. You can copy Paulsens direct supervisor Magda, but chances are she'll be unresponsive unless you send certified, which you should do to all of them.

I am currently fighting for my daughter in TN. My ex is not her biological father yet he was able to gain custody through a bogus emergency injunction and his crooked atty Jack Bowers and the judge Weaver through Chancery court. Everything theyvsaid was a lie and now that I am paying thousands of dollars just to get an atty to file a paternity test to prove she does not beling to him, history is that he is mine and her abuser, they are dragging it out.

Corrupt, Racketeering Family Courts

Just like politics, there are financial kickbacks and a money trail. Lots of people are making a ton of money while you struggle to fight for your kid, provide food and shelter. Look at the videos on this site - the Santa Clara County, California court takes pride in raping its litigants, when they think they are behind closed doors.

Parental Rights Action Suit 42 USC 2000d-7(a), which commands: (1) A State shall not be immune under the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution of the United States from suit in Federal court for a violation of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 [29 U.S.C. 794], title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 [20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.], the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 [42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.], title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.], or the provisions of any other Federal statute prohibiting discrimination by recipients of Federal financial assistance. (2) In a suit against a State for a violation of a statute referred to in paragraph (1), remedies (including remedies both at law and in equity) are available for such a violation to the same extent as such remedies are available for such a violation in the suit against any public or private entity other than a State And so, you see, that last clause of (a)(1), "the provisions of any other Federal statute prohibiting discrimination by recipients of Federal financial assistance" means that ALL of the state court systems, and their "programs and activities" which are all at least partially funded by federal funding automatically waives all immunity for the 50 States and Commonwealths. In other words, because the family courts are at least partially federally funded, any discrimination by family courts (i.e., gender discrimination, class discrimination, racial discrimination, etc.) automatically waives all so-called immunity in a suit against them within federal court, and (a)(2) expressly then also provides for full availability of ALL remedies – "both at law and in equity" – against the States and Commonwealths, just exactly the same as are available against any other public or private entity... There is no immunity defense even available, whatsoever. We're not suing individual state actors, like individual judges. We are just directly suing States and Commonwealths, and they have no immunity in this case, period, per the above. Jurisdiction is another topic that shouldn't even be questioned, truthfully, as it is also so straightforward and easy, that again, it's not even remotely a concern. The federal Constitution provides direct jurisdiction, 42 USC 1983 provides us direct and express statutory jurisdiction, the False Claims Act also provides direct and express statutory jurisdiction, federal question jurisdiction is expressly and routinely provided by 28 USC 1331, etc., etc., etc., and in fact, there are a variety of other federal statutes to use, a variety of federal case laws to use, and so forth and so on. It's not whether there is jurisdiction, it's only a question of just how many of the widely available jurisdictional routes do we wish to incorporate (and spend our time writing the language for within the lawsuit's Complaint). Jurisdiction is not even remotely any concern, whatsoever, other than just deciding which several of the many available routes/devices are used. "Parents have a fundamental right to the custody of their children, and the deprivation of that right effects a cognizable injury. See Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745, 758-59, 102 S. Ct. 1388, 1397, 71 L. Ed. 2d 599 (1982)." Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 68-69, 147 L. Ed. 2d 49, 120 S. Ct. 2054 (2000). In other words, the SCOTUS has already expressly provided our direct legal standing (and direct jurisdiction) to be in federal court to sue over these exact, same unlawful deprivations of fundamental parental rights, and that is also *in addition* to all of the many other available routes/devices in legal standing Title IV-D is flatly illegal for direct conflicts of interest -- The entire Title IV-D funding scheme is flagrantly unconstitutional and a completely fraudulent usage of taxpayer dollars. Did you know that there are actually statutes on the books in each State and Commonwealth that detail how Title IV-D federal funding is to be used, which includes basically dividing up all the “profits” (from unlawfully screwing and cheating so-called "noncustodial" parents in generally outrageous child support orders having no relation to the real world) and paying out different percentages of those “profits” to each County, to each Title IV-D office and their own personnel, to each family court budget, and so forth? Can you spell “m-e-r-c-e-n-a-r-y”?? This insane and wholly unjust system uses federal taxpayer dollars to literally provide direct financial incentives for family courts to commit fraud as much as possible, i.e., violate rights, go beyond limits, etc., etc., as often as they can, because the more Title IV-D monies they order against everyone, the higher all of their percentage takes received. Like the bonuses and commissions that form the basis for rampant fraud by social workers in the CPS/DSS/DCF/etc. victimization realm, these Title IV-D profits being paid to incentivize the family courts

I'm in Northern Utah, my special needs child, has been exploited here for federal funds as well, the amount of trauma and mishandling, resulting in lifelong medical, and psychological damage is sickening. Laws and Parental acess to child, entirely ignored. For the love of federal dollars, greed that can't be filled, at the price of our childrens futures. Just Criminal. Must be stopped along with the disinformation in the united states of the pharmaceutical companies. It all undermines everything this country was founded on. Thank You Jane and John Q, and all Others who take a stand against the destruction of Our futures, for all the precious time spent exposing and putting a stop to it all. For the making the world a better place for all of us. Sincere Appreciation which mere words can not express. You too Anna Lambert.
