High-Conflict Divorce
A friend once said “marriage is grand, divorce is one hundred grand”. In a high-conflict divorce, he might have been underestimating. High-conflict divorces generally involve extended litigation, potentially crossing over from the family law arena into civil and criminal cases involving parties besides the unhappy couple. Expenses mount quickly, $100,000+ in legal fees can be expended even by warring couples with relatively modest income and assets. Financial ruin and even bankruptcy is not unusual.
Often the end of most of the litigation is brought by not a real resolution to the conflict, but by running out of money. Sadly, as more money becomes available in the future, the conflict may become renewed again. Or one of both litigants may change to less expensive litigation methods such as self-representation without legal counsel to keep the war going.
Such cases often involve dirty tactics which cause extensive damage not only to the target adults, but also to any children involved and even to the extended family. Children may be robbed of a chance to spend time with a parent and his or her extended family and inflicted with serious psychological harm.
While this is hardly an exhaustive list, these cases commonly feature problematic behaviors including:
- False accusations of domestic violence in the forms of child abuse and partner violence
- Falsely obtained restraining orders (also known as protective orders) to gain de facto custody of children and to severely financially damage a former spouse (often the man, but increasingly this happens to women, too)
- Parental alienation (training kids to hate a parent)
- Perjury
- Refusal to follow court orders (contempt of court)
Frequently the cases are driven by one or both parties exhibiting aggressive and unreasonable behaviors brought on by mental illness. Personality disorders are a particularly extreme source of unending conflict. Even a mentally stable person when attacked during a high-conflict divorce for years or more can start to exhibit behaviors associated with mental illnesses, particularly depression and anxiety disorders.

Steps To Protect Yourself During Divorce
UpToParents.org – a free, confidential and interactive website for divorcing and divorced parents. Although this website is catered more for amicable divorces, it is still an excellent resource and educational tool to guide divorcing and divorced parents through a very difficult life change.
TheHopePortal.org - in partnership with many organizations, The Hope Portal offers a wide selection of support and resources for understanding how to pick healthier relationships and help prevent teens through adults from entering in a pathological relationship. We particularly relate to the website’s insight of high-conflict cases: The old adage “it takes two for a conflict” does not apply here. It takes one pathological parent and a court room.


My ex husband has done just that — perjury, falsley obtaining a restraining order, parental alienation and many contempt of order violations.
What forms due I need to file in court, to bring this matter in front of a judge A.S.A.P.
Thank you,
Michaela
Michaela,
What state are you in? This affects the forms and process needed for addressing the issues you raise as they vary from state to state.
In our collective experiences, perjury is seldom punished in any fashion even when you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Some states may allow civil suit for perjury that has caused you damage, others have no provisions for it outside of criminal code. District attorneys are seldom willing to prosecute for perjury, so you can’t count in any way on the government to enforce laws in this area.
Contempt of court is usually treated as a quasi-criminal action which you must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Even when you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, the courts are often unwilling to do much about it. This is especially the case for “family law” courts.
If you can prove contempt, you may be able to get the court to hold your ex liable for your legal fees for the contempt action. Again, it depends upon the state, particular judge, and the exact circumstances. They often even take into account financial means. For instance, if you make $500,000 per year and he makes $50,000 per year and he violates court orders, you’ll likely be stuck paying your legal fees even if you prove your case. It’s not fair, but courts are not about fairness or justice anywhere in the US except for in fairy tales and movies. They are about government interfering in people’s lives and controlling others for financial, political, and other agendas.
Realistically, I’d need to know more about your situation to be able to comment in much detail. In theory, you have the gender advantage in court (i.e., fair or not, women generally have the advantage in family law courts because the laws and judges are sexist) but that can be overcome by situations such as your ex being a doctor, police officer, etc. — somebody viewed with “credibility” despite the real facts perhaps being these people are liars and manipulators worse than many other people without those credentials. For instance, I know of a case in which the mother lost custody of her sons for about two years in part because her ex was a doctor and accused her of poisoning the children and his accusations were viewed with credibility even though the toxicology screen tests never matched his lies.
Regarding fighting parental alienation, look up Warshak’s “Divorce Poison” book. It is a very good work on this topic and if you haven’t already read it and applied the lessons from it, it would be my first recommendation for a place to start learning how to fight parental alienation without counter-alienating your children.
Rob
The problem with people who are true alienating parents is when a true abuse case comes up, nobody will listen to the child. It is assumed these days that alienation must be the cause. I have read case after case on justiceforchildren.org where the child is forced to live with the abuser and given no contact with the other parent. Some…many have ended in death for the child. The child was not heard. The focus became the other parent, even though the other parent simply followed the law and reported the childs claims to the proper authorities. Will this system ever be fixed? When will the child be believed? One parent spend 13 years fighting to save an abused child from the other parent only to see the child end up living with the abuser. The abuse continued until the child was old enough and brave enough to run away. A childrens rights group listened to the child and helped the child get returned to the safe parent. The child was 17 by then.
@June
I am living this nightmare right now. It has been almost 7 years of a custody battle. A few years ago, the father of my children came up with “alienation” and it has ruined our children’s lives. The judge split our children. Their father was verbally, psychologically, and physically abusive to our children and myself. Our son, since living with his father, says he wants to kill himself, and other people, he hates his life, and wishes “he would be buried” he has been on depression medications since living with his father, and has been in therapy since 3 years old. He is only 9. I can no longer afford a lawyer. I have filed bankruptcy, took a loan against my house, my parents have spent their entire savings trying to fight for my children. I believe the judge is biased due to the fact that my ex is a police sgt. and his current wife is an asst. district attorney. He actually refers to them in court by their first name. I have had the therapist, the evaluator, the mediator, you name it, all say that I’m not alienating our children. The judge says he’s not even sure, but to make sure, I lost custody of my son. He claims that because our daughter doesn’t want anything to do with her father, that I have turned her against him and he doesn’t want to see that done to our son. Our daughter who is 14 has been abused by her father. That is why she wants nothing to do with him. How is she supposed to feel when her father grabs her neck and says “I could fuckin’ choke you” and that’s just one example. He told her he would have me arrested and she would never see me again. He then, 2 weeks later, had me arrested on 3 felony charges, which were later thrown out because they were bogus, but I almost lost my job, and it has traumatized our children, and ruined my life. I have worked for a judge for 13 years, and was arrested twice, fingerprinted and my name was in the newspaper for all to see. I don’t know where to turn. I’m broke, my parents are broke from legal bills up to almost $100,000, everyone I have contacted from the newspaper, to several lawyers, no one, seems to be able to help me and my children. I work for the judicial system, and have not one ounce of belief in it.
It is all very sad. My husband represents the opposite. His ex suffers from borderline personality disorder and after a high conflict divorce she accused him of molesting their youngest son. There is no truth to it and after 7 years, two court systems (she abducted his sons for several years), the boys are now back with my husband. They are happy, safe, and learning to love their father again. She spent many years alienating the boys from her. Both Courts cleared my husband of the allegations and concluded that she had alienated the boys. The mother can now only see the boys for a few hours a week with a supervisor. There were many attorneys, psychologists involved to make sure it was fully vetted. Unfortunately it’s hard to prove something didn’t happen. And it’s easy for a trusted parent to influence a young child. So it makes it very difficult to know what’s really going on. My husband is a wonderful, loving person with a very big heart. It would have been a tragedy for the boys to not have him in their lives and to have continued to be subjected to psychological abuse from their mother. The system did work in our case for the children and my husband.
@Carol
The system didn’t work in your husband’s case, either. It is very common for borderlines to lie, distort, build alliances with easily manipulated people, and abuse children via means such as parental alienation and other forms of emotional and verbal abuse. The article BPD Distortion Campaigns outlines some of the tactics they use. The children often end up with psychological damage that can take years of treatment into adulthood to manage. The target parents can have their life savings eaten by attorneys and court fees and “experts” who aren’t competent to do their jobs, their careers destroyed, end up in prison, and experience psychological damage as bad or worse than that inflicted upon the children.
The system failed to prevent the child abduction in your husband’s case, just like it failed to prevent the murders of the Fontaine children in Orange County at the hands of their narcissistic grandmother with cooperation from their mentally ill mother.
Judges and court officials lack adequate understanding of psychology, fail to put in place reasonable safeguards in high conflict cases, encourage conflict due to their inept handling and refusal to punish perjurers and those who violate court orders without good faith reasons, and drag out court cases that should have been resolved in months into debacles that cost major fractions of a million dollars and virtually the entire lives of some of the children involved. The system is the problem even more than the malicious mentally ill parents are. Such parents are probable broken beyond repair, but the system treats them as if they are credible while persecuting their targets and allowing the children to come to great harm.
I went through a “High Conflict” custody battle in the San Diego Family Courts that has turned my life upside down and inside out. It lasted 5.5 years, and only came to an end because I ran out of Loot. All told the professional Lieyers and Thieves made off with, extorted, and/or SOLD my Daughter for about $120KKK.
As a result I had to either walk away, or to “get a job that pays more” — which is what our last Judge-Buddy told me, rather than to admonish any of the Liars and false accusers.
I have No Crime record, no driving record, Don’t watch TV, nor look at Porn, attend Church (and have for over 30 years), and had the same job for over 25 years. And yet I was made out to be a criminal (i.e. “unfit” father) for having the audacity to read my daughter a Bible Story from her children’s Bible (at her request) rather than to take her to church, as I normally did.
The court later back-tracked (on their violation of my constitutional rights as a parent) but did not appologize, nor offer to repay any of the Money that their officials had Stolen, nor to reinstate the “visitation” with my Daughter unless I agreed to undergo a psychiatric evaluation: for walking out on a Scam Artist named Dr. Robert J. Fox.
My former wife’s Lieyer (William M. Benjamin) even had the audaucity to try to “hand-pick” the psychiatrist, and was given permission to do so by (retired) Judge Hendix. I suspect that he had gotten away with this trick on MANY prior occasions.
In an attempt to get some sort of “justice” I have also (like MANY others) chosen to go public: on the Internet and have written articles on the nightmare called “Family Court”
See http://www.earthage.org/familycourt/reforming_the_family_courts.htm and
http://www.earthage.org/familycourt/sdfamily_court_central.htm for more information on my case and what is, and has been going on for Many years: not just in San Diego, but all over our land, and in Canada and Most of Europe.

The posts here are yet more evidence of the bizarre community-destroying practices in family court. Unfortunately, these stories are but a small fraction evidencing how these courts and related “service providers” have grown into an illegal, cancerous cartel. I would encourage readers to peruse the many articles on this site relating to how to respond to a vexatious litigating ex-spouse. Of course one response is simply to “play the litigation game” better than your ex and hope to “win”. However, this is almost always an extraordinarily costly choice bleeding both you and your ex spouse of all financial resources. There’s a reason your crappy divorce lawyer drives a $100,000 car, and it’s not because they graduated at the top of their class from top tier law schools.
However one option I’d suggest that readers consider is simply not to play the game. Once you grant the courts or your ex the power to control you and your right to see your children, you’re already deep into the maze with little hope of exiting. If you’re facing a BPD/NPD ex, realize now that they’ll do anything to “win” regardless of whether it’s right or wrong. Sadly, the courts are in such chaos that you can have ZERO confidence that a court will be able to detect illegal activity, and even if they do they rarely do anything healthy or significant about it.
Given that the industry and it’s constituent family court system is intent on breaking the law to abuse you and your children, I’d urge all of you to consider doing the same to protect yourself from such illegal abuse — take self help. Don’t pay the support. Don’t obey the custody rules. Avoid paying any taxes — there are many videos on Youtube sharing details of potential solutions. Alex Russo’s is an excellent start.
Take the kid to another jurisdiction or even another country — this one is so screwed up there is little hope in the near future it can reverse the extraordinarily harmful direction it’s heading in. Still “Proud to be an American?” Obviously Lee Greenwood hadn’t been through divorce court.
People need to realize that your government is extremely eager to enslave you to support their ends and the ends of the international money constituents that they serve. And by government what do we mean? Easy — just other people — average joes who happen to have attended law school or otherwise have a job getting paid by your tax dollars. They live off of your hard labor, and do so with a boot on your neck.
Don’t give them the power that is yours or you’ll soon be begging them to return what you never should have given in the first place.
Best of luck people.
Something else that the article above remined me of is that I am about as certain as possible that my former spouse has “Borderline Personality Disorder” (or something of the like), as she would say and/or do practically anything to make me look bad, or her look good. Our Mediator, Marjorie Ospeck, even told her in one of our “sessions” that she was “the most nitpicky client” that she ever had. She had also caught her telling fibs as well, but covered up for her after I grew tired of always defending myself, and being treated as if I were a teenage kid who is always getting into trouble.
It is also a fact that I was the one who was always being looked at, and nitpicked, and who had to continually change the way I did something in order to try to please my former spouse. I was also falsely accused on five different occasions, and yet they never asked the court to have my former spouse evaluated to see if she needed help. And now my daughter is growing up without a father simply because I ran out of Money to pay to professional liars and thieves, and because I decided not to “get a job that pays more” but rather to walk away and let the Judge (Lisa Foster) answer to God on the day of Judgment as to why she didn’t ask the one who was making false charges (and who still had Money for a Lieyer) pay for the supervision that she had asked for? Nor did she admonish the Lieyer (who was caught in the act) of decieving the court: on multiple occasions? The “superlawyer” who is also a paid kidnapper: whom I call Billy the Kidnapper. Below are some of the things that he did, and got away with: right under two judge-buddies noses.

I also should mention that I asked for Dr. Robert J. Fox’s CV (curriculum Vitae, i.e. his Credentials) — in writing, via certified mail — and he refused to provide it. I also asked for Mr. Benjamin’s CV, and he, likewise refused to provide it.
Three Court Transcripts were also altered in my case. I have been told that this is not all that uncommon: which is why tape recordings are not even made of the hearings, but rather one that you have to PAY (from $40 — $200 or more) for, that can easily be altered by Lieyers like William M. Benjamin: aka Billy the Kidnapper / Crook.

@ Michaela
Dear Michaela –
Are the names psychologist Robert Fox or attorney William (Bill Benjamin) familiar to you?
Several of us (all women) are trying to connect with each other and compare our situation.
If you feel inclined to share, let me know who you have dealt with that has caused you trouble. We may know them and offer some insight.
All of us are so injured and paranoid from our horrible experiences with San Diego Family Court, alienation and corruption – that I will understand completely if you prefer not to reply. I am just wondering if the Dr. and attorney above were involved in your case??
sincerely
(a mother and grandmother of a once very happy family – now destroyed.
Unfortunately, what I read above are parents who are so hate-filled they can’t see the damage inflicted on the children. By the time a case ends up with a mediator, therapist or psych evaluation, the courts have been beseiged with vexatious motions, petty accusations and so on. Parental Alienation cases are actually very rare. Accusations of molestation and abuse are SO common, that the courts (believe it or not) have a pretty good handle on it. The stories above are so loaded with venomous situations exploited by one or more of the parents who above all else (including their own children!) want to be proven right. Its these cases that leave the litigants penniless in the end with one of the parents with custody, one without. No, I don’t work for the courts, nor am I an attorney. I’ve worked as a court clerk and a paralegal for the past 25 years and even worked for a LCSW who had to teach the children how to deal with the fallout after these parents.
@Randy S. Berg
Go to California State Bar and go to Attorney Search and type in William Benjamin. You can see Mr. Benjamin’s qualifications. By the way, he was my attorney and did an excellent job.
CA … HELP!!! How do I change custody if OP is not Supportive of my relationship?
I live in CA. I am the mother of the 3 children 10,10,&9. I agreed to change of custody when i became pregnant 4 years ago. The father lived 10 minutes from me. I seen the children previously every wed to Thurs and alt weekends Fri to Mon. Dad proposed move away out of county 80 miles in June 2010 it was denied. due to his lack of support of my relationship with children. We have seen several specialist who have all agreed that the children are definitely aligned with the father and he definitely is not supportive of relationship. This was stated in court as judge and mediator came to same conclusion. He has switched the therapist twice, once from one he chose. He moved in Aug2010 giving two weeks notice before school. he moved within the county but west 70 miles. The children have been there for the entire school year and appear okay, however their relationship with me has become increasingly worse. I now see the kids 1st, 3rd &4th weekends Fri- Sun and every other week in the summer. Thur-Thur. He took me to court ex parte in May 2011 to place the children in pop warner. near his home. 3-days a week practices and games every sat. and fundraiser/activities most sun. He is the head coach and his wife is the team mom. The judge set the hearing in due process. In the mean time all three children have went to school on the same day to ask the teachers for help. Their teachers had them write a “Dear Judge” letter, begging to play football. I am completely lost. His very cunning attorney requested a Monte Negro a long time ago . I didn’t know what this was. I do now. What grounds if any do I have to request a change of custody. The hearing is in July 2011 when kids are out of school.
@Mae
I am dealing with Dr fox, am a woman and am beign victimized by his horrible unethical and evil practice-interested in a class action suit, have an attorney that will go after him call me 760-781-3865, lets finally take this criminal down.
@ Mae
On 2/20/2011 my beautiful daughter committed suicide. It was a long and complicated case in which my daughter had obstacles of her own, and many many obstacles deliberately put in place by Dr. Fox and his wife Dr. Holly Avriette. All the professionals involved in this case, including a later psychologist appointed by the court for conjoint therapy, were in favor of re-uniting my daughter with her child. Despite the efforts of so many people on her behalf, the SDFC system relied entirely on the reccomendations put forth by Dr. Fox.
It is impossible for me to outline the many abusive acts of this doctor in such a small space – not to mention the minor’s counsel who operated in tandem with this appalling individual. My daughter was a sweet and wonderful woman, who did nothing to cause the break up of her marriage from a man to whom she was totally devoted. We as grandparents were so involved with our only daughter and only grandchild that we are lost without them in our lives. Despite having to have – for no reason at all – monitored visits, we persisted and have had only favorable reports. Still we are not allowed any contact whatsoever with our grand daughter.
Though we are financially and emotionally drained by this horrendous process, I will support, share and volunteer for any effort made to put a stop to the collosal force of evil that is Dr.Fox. Please contact me (Darleene) at 858-279-4131.
@ Karen Allen:
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with divorce court. I’m glad there is at least one case in which the court functioned effectively.
However, I disagree with you that the “above posts” are from “hate-filled” parents. A few points.
1. I see little “hate filled” speech here. In fact, Angiemedia is one of the few sites which ethically avoids misogynistic/misandranystic positions. In fact, they have been extremely diligent in fair, accurate, and balanced reporting–almost always reporting/editing on both sides of the gender issues. Certainly they comport themselves as court “watchdogs”–but they do so quite fairly–giving credit to the court where credit is due.
They have reported, for example, about good judges who do not impose excessive government intervention/oversight into private family matters. They regularly praise or offer resources to support reform. Surely one might acknowledge that every organization–every organization–has its bad apples. Why would court be any different? The difference is that judges–unlike you and me–can control people with guns and shields to go kick the butts of anybody they please. As such, they chose to punish critics (severely) rather than police themselves. “Aboslute power corrupts abolutely”–and even moderate or (as judges have) quite strong power corrupts equally.
Hard to be wrong if you can legally strangle anybody who disagrees with you. Nice work if you can get it.
2. Certainly there are comments that exhibit frustration, disillusionment, and even anger at the divorce court process. Yet what other emotions would be expected from a loving parent who was (rightfully or wrongfully) deprived of their relationships with their own children and emotional and financial well-being? Can’t imagine anyone happy with being seperated from a cherished loved one by a random–often inaccurate–court decision.
3. You make a very bizarre statement that deserves discussion:
” By the time a case ends up with a mediator, therapist or psych evaluation, the courts have been beseiged with vexatious motions, petty accusations and so on. Parental Alienation cases are actually very rare. Accusations of molestation and abuse are SO common, that the courts (believe it or not) have a pretty good handle on it.”
Maybe I’m a dunce, but you seem to be saying that “alienation” (false accusations to prevent parent/child contact) is rare, but that “vexatios motions, petty accusations and so on” and “abuse” are “so common that the courts … have a pretty good handle on it.”
Okay, let’s unpack this. First, if the courts had a “pretty good handle on it” you’d likely not see so many pissed off parents spending their valuable time, money, and efforts to identify the wrongs in family court as you see here and on dozens of other sites.
I’m a lawyer. I practice in state and federal courts throught the U.S. and internationally. I’ve never heard of or seen the discord in any court of law that is rampant in divorce court. It’s a bizarre anomaly. Rarely do people get killed in non-family superior or federal courts, yet in divorce court it happens all the time. Why? Because divorce courts aren’t doing their job–resolving disputes fairly. Do the research–the judges and lawyers are crappy-bottom of the barrel resumes-and dishonest as they come. Courts not only don’t prosecute divorce court perjury (see Percy Gwin’s explantion that “if we prosecuted perjury court’s would be overrun with criminal cases.” Yeah, so lie), they encourage it. Slapp your ex with a TRO and sling accusations and you’re almost guaranteed complete custody and a big award.
4. This one is really whack. You state:
“No, I don’t work for the courts, nor am I an attorney. I’ve worked as a court clerk and a paralegal for the past 25 years and even worked for a LCSW who had to teach the children how to deal with the fallout after these parents.”
You worked as a “court clerk” but you claim you don’t work for the court. You worked as an LCSW (county court “social worker” employee) for 25 years. But you claim you don’t work for the court. You work as a “paralegal” but claim you don’t work for the court.
In the words of Bill Cosby “Right.”
It appears that it’s this kind of stunning blindness to reality that has lead divorce court beasts into the morass that we’re in. Wow.
5. Even if your accusations were true (which I do not conceed), why would parents be “hate filled”? Maybe, let me think about this for a second, maybe it’s because they got screwed by an unjust process? Maybe it’s not the parents that are wrong for being sold a lemon, maybe there’s a lemon dealer in black robes or a suit and tie driving a $100,000 automobile that has some share of the blame to bear, and if so, who needs to change-the victim or the victimizer?
Thanks for your input Ms. Allen, but IMHO you’re too close to this extraordinarly harmful process to give a fair opinion. In fairness, my experience in divorce court was horrific-and I’m a lawyer with over 15 years of experience in half a dozen states. Never seen anything like the lack of accountability, truthfullness, respect for rules, and integrity than what I experienced in divorce court. It’s a wreck. As such, I have a very different perspective than you and my opinions are certainly affected by that experience.
My best to you and all.
Dear Rob,
I am hoping that you are not just one more smoke screen put up to covertly identify and crucify all those victims injured by Judicial Abuse in the Family Court and Superior Courts. I noticed you left out the Federal Courts ? !
I am sure that you are unaware of my activity in the Family Court since 2008, as a disabled (TBI) , pro per litigant in the dissolution of my 40 year marriage against my adversarial husband, Attorney Craig J. Bauman (practicing 30 years) who has been defrauding the court regarding his actual earnings in 2008, 2009, 2010 of $23,0000 monthly ($280,000 yearly) to evade Court Orders for Spousal Support, issued by Judge Wohlfeil in 2008 :
> (2008) under Judge Wohlfeil’s wonderful and fair jurisprudence
> (2009) Judge Lisa Guy Schall who I removed by Peremptory challenge the 1st week of judicial rotation
> (2009) Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s first year as a Family Law Judge who ruled in my favor at a Bifurcated Trial for Date of Separation
> (2010) Judge Curiel’s INTENTIONALLY PUNITIVE Infliction of EMotional and Financial distress sufficient to cause my SEIZURE in his courtroom, hopitalizing me and making me wheelchair bound for 8 months in recovery from costal cartigage fracture of 10 ribs from falling, my right wrist, 3 hernias, and my knee, and bronchial pneumonia contracted from being bedridden so long now COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary dysfunction) and financial disrepair relegating to the streets without finance to sustain shelter.
while Judge Curiel continued to disregard physician’s orders under ADA MC410, for requests to stay proceedings pending my recovery for injuries sustained in his courtroom and under the American Disabilities Act for Special Accommodations MC410,
THEREAFTER, CURIEL CONTINUED TO FORCE HEARINGS placing my life in danger of imminent DEATH (already documented in his courtroom July 01, 2010)
while mocking me with derision and disregard in open court for my (1) physical disablity, (2) dependent state as a female, punishing me for his own denial of funds to pay my attorney – relegating me to Self Representation, 3) and further denying my multiple requests to distribute my own available funds “Pendente Lite for Attorney Fees”
Relegating me to remain in Pro Per from a wheelchair all of 2011, in a complex divorce and in a losing Trial (execution) against 4 opposing predatory Attorneys: a) Laura Miller, b) Patrick Mazzei, c) Robert Wesley, special master, and Attorney, Craig J. Bauman (1981).
> (2011) – Judge Curiel’s removal from Family Court
> (2011) – Judge David Rubin’s appointment exerting more disregard than Curiel had with his denial of complex case designation, denial of “Pendente Lite Attorney Fees, denial of coninuance for recovery, denial of bifurcated disolution
> (2011) – Judge Alkse’s denial of COMPLEX CASE DESIGNATION, denial of request Attorney fees from my own funds frozen by court, denial of continuance request made under ADA CRC Rule 1.100
NOW, THAT I AM OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR MOST OF THE TIME (ALTHOUGH PERMANENTLY DISABLED AS A RESULT OF JUDGE CURIEL AND COURT ABUSE), I AM FIGHTING BACK – but my divorce case has been splintered into 7 other cases as a result of the incredible damages (6 in San Diego) and 4 more across the country as a direct result.
JUDGE ALKSNE’S AND JUDGE CURIEL’S DISREGARD (as well as David Rubin) IS AND WAS AT ALL TIMES INTENTIONALLY STONEWALLING FAIRNESS AND BLUDGEONING OF THE DISABLED, THE DEPENDENT, AND GENDER DISRIMINATING AGAINST WOMEN & CHILDREN BUT IN FAVOR OF HOMOSEXUAL DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS. IS SHE ANOTHER BONNIE DUMANIS “HOMOSEXUAL” (closeted) like my husband was all of our 40 years of marriage, and like Curiel, (unlike David Rubin – who is openly GAY).
WHAT CAN I DO TO FURTHER OUR CAUSE ? PLEASE CALL ME AT (619) 665-7553@ Rob
Jordana,
Those of us running and writing for this site and many others like it do intend to help other people. It’s not some scam to identify and attack the victims of the courts. We have seen that the courts target their opponents illegally for persecution, so we advise caution about revealing identities.
It sounds like the San Diego courts have harmed you so badly that you have little or nothing to lose by going public with your case.
I’ve heard other stories of abuse by some of the judges you have mentioned against disabled people.
There are groups in the Southern California area who are trying to help people in situations like yours. CCFC comes to mind, I see that “One of Thousands” has referred you to them.
While you may find this hard to believe, many of the men’s and father’s rights groups actually would be interested in helping a person in your situation, too. Fathers and Families often helps mothers who are being abused by the courts because they believe that justice should be blind to gender. The pattern of judicial abuse against you is much like that against many men.
I am not a lawyer, but I cannot see how a California judge can legally deny you to right to funds to pay for legal counsel when your ex-husband has far superior financial resources and multiple attorneys helping him.
Alksne is well-known for abuse against litigants and even for abuse against people who have never appeared in her court. She is reportedly moving on to criminal court. Anybody stuck with that incompetent abusive judge in a criminal case should challenge her to get rid of her. In her family law assignment, I am aware of claims that she has improperly denied access to evidence, appears to have colluded with an attorney friend of hers to commit fraud, and reportedly lied about evidence to justify her biased notions of “justice”.
Nor do I see how “bifurcated dissolution” can be denied. What basis did Judge Rubin cite for this?
You probably have basis for appeal for all of these things, perhaps that is what some of your cases are about now?
When judges make such poor decisions that are violations of the law, even a party who wins on appeal has been severely harmed by the financial and emotional damage caused by such abusive judges.

Lorna Alksne is a tyrant. She is a sick in the head perverted witch whose allegiance is to Bonnie Dumanis and other abusive government officials. She never read a law she would not violate for them.
