We the people demand a federal investigation into International Trade organization running family court monopoly/kids for cash. Help us protect children! Help us make sure no child is ever sentenced to live in the abusers home. Thank you to all taking a stand for the protection of children our hearts go out to the many families affected by this!
I care about the safety of children, Families, and communities across the United States. The current outdated policies in place in family courts are bankrupting families placing children in abusers homes and making our communities dangerous to live in.
It is time to address the family court crisis and stop ignoring parents pleas for help and retaliating against them for standing up for the protection of children and instead stand with them and against the family court corporation harming children and families.
I hereby request the immediate removal of judges from the afcc( Association of Family and Conciliation Courts) and the aaml which could be in violation of canon laws(if it is not legislation drafted stating it is)
I request immediate enactment of legislation that States child safety is the paramount concern in all child custody proceedings
I request the immediate investigation into the afcc ( Association of Family and Conciliation Courts)
I request the removal of the friendly parent provision punishing parents for protecting their children from reported abusers

[AT] Why "Therapeutic Jurisprudence" Must Be Eliminated from Our Family Courts by Elizabeth J. Kates, J.D., LL.M. ( words) Excerpts page 1-2 Section "The Unacknowledged Problem There are many problems with therapeutic jurisprudence in the family courts, which now runs the gamet from all manner of alternate dispute resolution procedures, to excessive guardian ad litem practices, to various court-ordered therapies, to extensive psychological opining and forensic evaluation in court cases. One of the problems with the rise of therapeutic jurisprudence and the placement of non-legal systems and non-legal professionals into the courts has been the subtle denigration of long-established precepts of lawyer independence and due process. One of the many ways this happens in the family courts has been, ironically, through the introduction of subtle and often unrecognized conflicts of interest afflicting lawyers' representations of their 2 clients, created through the common development of multidisciplinary collegial relationships and business referrals, both informally and through the very multidisciplinary organizations which are promoting therapeutic jurisprudence ideas.

The primary reason psychologists and other mental health professionals should be banned from the family court systems, except to answer limited and narrowly-defined questions actually within their expertise, is that their presence does not add value, but rather, wastes court, lawyer, and litigant time, money and resources.

This category includes the various forms of so-called ADR (alternate dispute resolution) practitioners, such as GALs, parenting coordinators, parenting evaluators, forensic psychologists, recommending mediators, special masters, court-ordered therapists, other court-appointed mental health professionals, supervised visitation centers, and other profiteers of "therapeutic jurisprudence", whose methods involve -- in non-criminal cases -- intrusion and coercion under the threat of court sanctions, and actual or de facto extra-judicial decision-making. This website heavily criticizes all of these practices, which have multiple things wrong with them, not the least of which is denigration of due process, and the diminution of a publicly observable, regulated, and appealable "rule by law" by substituting the caprice of men and women. These practices have been promoted as "cures" for ailings of the court system and the litigants in it by self-serving persons who apparently are ignorant, or else just do not care about the harms they cause to children and their parents because they make money from the ideas they promote, churning profit in proceedings that fly in the face of the foundations of our justice system. The bulk of these materials are listed in the section on PSYCHOLOGY.

Making Divorce Pay: The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts takes back -scratching to a new level By Michael Volpe, Organization Trends, July 2015 (PDF here) Summary: You’ve probably never heard of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, but its 5,000-plus members are lawyers, judges, and family court professionals who have enormous power in family legal disputes. The group claims to be guided by “the best interest of the child,” but it is beyond dispute that it serves well the financial interests of its members, who are able to require the use of each other’s services and force parents to pay.
Members also make use of dubious psychological theories that can do injustice to parents as well as children.
What if George Orwell had written a sequel to Nineteen Eighty-Four called Twenty-Fifteen? In it, nefarious puppeteers use the family court system to usurp decisions traditionally left to parents. They justify infringing parental rights by using noble-sounding phrases like “in the best interest of the child” to take away more and more decision-making authority from parents. Americans’ First, Second, Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights seem certain to be trampled routinely, and the reason given will always be because the decision was “in the best interest of the child.” This group of manipulators is bold and brazen because it knows the media will have no appetite for any story of this kind, but will deem it a case of “he said/she said” and a private matter best left unchronicled. Motivated by profit and sometimes by ideology, these busybodies have figured out that controlling parental decisions is profitable.
Unfortunately, this scenario is not a dystopian society in a science fiction novel; it is the way things really are in the family court system nowadays.
“It’s an American holocaust,” said Susan Skipp. She should know. Though she was the victim of domestic violence, she hasn’t seen either of her two children in nearly three years. The judge and many other players in Skipp’s family court nightmare are all affiliated with the same group: the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).

"Stop Divorce Poison" - PLEASE, stop the BS! Dara Carlin, M.A. June 13, 2012
Link to article Excerpts “Why all the upset? Well, if parental alienation (PA) is proven to be bogus here’s just some of the repercussions:”
- “Warshak - like “the father of PAS”, Richard Gardner – and all the other money-making, PA professional experts currently enjoying the limelight of their "expertise" – would all be revealed as phonies; totally discredited and cut off from their lucrative incomes, their speaking invitations to enlighten the masses and from diagnosing and “rehabilitating the alienated".
- Abusers would be recognized as and for the unrepentant abusers they are; they would not be accepted as “loving fathers” or as “misunderstood mothers” anymore.”
- “Children just might actually be protected and kept safe from an abusive parent; they wouldn’t be forced to go on unsupervised visitations with a parent whose abused them, they wouldn’t be forced into contact, a relationship with or punished for not having a relationship with their abuser by a third party professional and they wouldn’t be put into the custody with an abusive parent because everyone knows that such things are dangerous and harmful to children.”
“The 58,000 children per year who are currently being put into the above situations would be free to develop and grow up into the best of version themselves possible because they’d be free from danger, incest, trauma, physical injury, emotional/mental abuse, psychological harm, brainwashing, deprivation, neglect and/or from being killed by an abusive parent.” Hard copy

Family Courts Behind an Epidemic of Pedophilia & Judicial Abuse keith harmon snow First publication: 01 May 2012
Edits & Revision: 03 May 2012 Edits & Revision: 17 May 2012
Link Excerpts “ section “ PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME JUNK SCIENCE “ “Further, many of these professionals openly adhere to the now discredited theories of Columbia University affiliated child psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gardner. Amongst his many elaborate theories supporting pedophilia, Gardner developed a theory of a non-existent psychiatric disorder -- almost universally applied to silence protective mothers complaining about domestic or child sexual abuse -- called Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)”."Once upon a time a handful of judges and other evil doers figured they could make a ton of money by selling children to their parents," says protective mother Anne D'Angelo, who a few years ago suffered the very same horrors that Sunny Kelley is suffering now. "Some children would be kidnapped. In the event of divorce the children would be held hostage, a carrot so to speak, for the parents to fight over. Unfortunately, it was mainly abusive men who were willing to fight the mother for custody, and even they would not fight and spend if they weren't pretty sure they would win. So in order to justify giving an abuser custody they came up with a theory call parental alienation syndrome, PAS. Much like its predecessor false memory syndrome, which blames the therapist for implanting memories of abuse in their adult clients minds, parental alienation blames the mother for implanting false memories of abuse in her child's mind." The PAS advocates found that not only could they clean both parents out financially, they could rake in millions in grant money to solve the problems they created. This scheme was so lucrative they decided to franchise. They formed an association known as the Association of Family Conciliation Councils (AFCC) to train other evil legal and psychological professionals to use their methods and PAS. Then they founded a father's rights group known today as Children's Rights Council to teach the abusive litigants to use PAS and win custody. Like most cancer given time, this has metastasized to the point where no child in America is safe. Hard copy

Excerpts "Proposed Solutions This panel is considering solutions for the seemingly ubiquitous dissatisfaction of litigants unknowingly forced into business dealings with AFCC vendors profiting under color of law. Some suggest that the solution to rampant failure by employees of the judicial branch to abide by existing rules and regulations is enacting additional legislation that requires judges to rule children into shared custody, regardless of a parent's history of violence or ability to care for the child(ren). I believe, however, that our current laws are robust and healthy. I believe that the Connecticut legislature has made sound decisions in enacting reasonable statutes that allow equal protections for citizens of this state. There is an excellent criminal code in place to deal with lawbreakers and regulation violators, and judges currently have sound tools and guidelines at their disposal to correctly determine the best situation for children of divorce. The problem is not one of poor legislation; it is a problem of flagrant violations [24] by judicial branch employees and state vendors, of federal RICO statutes, constitutional rights, federal ADA rights, judicial canon, and professional and ethical canon of medical and mental health professionals. [13] The remedy for violations of canon and law is not to enact different laws. The only sound solution to ending criminal activity is prosecution. The only sound solution to restoring fairness and neutrality to the fact- finding process is to remove the financial incentives that cause outcomes to be determined by funding mandate instead of law, and demanding that rules of evidence must be followed to the letter in all courts of law. The impropriety [3] of judges being joined in trade organizations with the professionals who appear before them must end immediately if we are ever to restore the faith of the citizen in the family court system.

Excerpts " Background
This story typifies the Parental Alienation Syndrome that is claimed by some psychologists to alienate a child from the other parent. In all these cases it was used to wrongly place children with their abuser and molester. The courts have refused to consider correcting their mistake!
Our point really is that 'experts', who cannot provide factual evidence to support their opinions, have no place in the courtroom. These cases must be decided on the facts presented as evidence and not left to the so-called professionals who profit from their presence in these cases.
The following reports are provided by investigative reporters who have done their homework in looking into these cases. The reports have been published in the national press."
Excerpts from petition"Commissioner Dolores Bomrad took an innocent little girl away away from her mommy after she was brave enough to report sexual abuse to many professionals---and gave sole custody to the father she named as her molester!
As usual, the judge found Protective Mom guilty of parental alienation despite no evidence at all, and despite there being medical evidence of sexual assault with reports by the child to her teacher and therapist.
Judge Bomrad is affiliated with the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), known for its support of using parental alienation against protective mothers and enabling abusers. "

Protecting Psychotherapy Clients From the Shadow of the Law: A Call for the Revision of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) Guidelines for Court-Involved Therapy
Protecting Psychotherapy Clients From the Shadow of the Law: A Call for the Revision of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) Guidelines for Court-Involved Therapy
Article · January 2015
Abstract
The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) published a set of guidelines a few years ago that called for the creation of what appears to be a new type of psychotherapy called “Court-Involved Therapy” (CIT) to substitute for the traditional psychotherapy sought by litigants in family court, though this may not have been the original intent. We posit the AFCC CIT Guidelines have suggested changes to typical psychotherapy practice, or perhaps even created a new form of therapy, that may have the unintended consequence of distracting from the psychotherapist's focus on the client's treatment needs and may result in not meeting the obligations to clients. The authors point out the flaws in the AFCC CIT Guidelines and further suggest that it is not best practices, standard of care, or harmless to clients and litigants to follow all of these guidelines. Finally, 14 suggestions are made for revisions of the proposal.

I have also included 138 pages of legal against this dangerous theory including legal to discredited Richard Warshak as the family court commissioner stated was involved in the suggested visitation guidelines for the County see email response to court commissioner requesting all judges and District attorneys be retrained to better protect children in Wood County from being sentenced to live in abusers homes which is the result when the discredited parental alienation theory is used. I ask all board members to investigate and remove the expert involved and retrain the county on the use of this disturbing theory to assure no further children are placed in harms way. This theory has been known to lead to child suicide, loss of life, repeated acts of abuse and the gateway legalization of sex with children. Domestic violence homicide can also occur please use this legal to remove this dangerous expert and protect children.

Competing Statutory Scheme: Friendly Parent Provision in Minnesota In jurisdictions with a statutory presumption, a non-abusive parent may face the obstacle of underlying public policy values favoring the “friendly parent,” which often disfavors the victim of abuse.118 “Friendly parent” provisions focus mostly on the “unfriendly behaviors” of the custodial parent.119 These statutes and policies often work against battered women because their concerns about their own safety and/or contact between the child and the other parent are often interpreted as a lack of cooperation and thus the father is more likely to gain custody.120 For instance, a mother might refuse to give her address or consent to unsupervised visitation, or parents who raise concerns about child sexual abuse can be severely sanctioned through the loss of custody to the alleged offender, restricted visitation, and being told not to report further abuse or take the child to a therapist.121 122 https://drive.google.com/file/d/162b7-VlJBKAtJr2QQEGQpJR0eIIw6uR_ozHfYJs_LigmLT5828wolZRJMbpZph9KPRx4e9PIyn5JSL66/view?usp=sharing
- What Issues Arise for Woman Abuse Survivors and Their Children during the Family Court Process? By Rita Benson, M.S.W., RSW, M.S. (MFT), RMFT Excerpts page 5 " The myth of the “friendly parent’. “At times, the statutes requiring courts to take domestic violence into account conflict with other statutes that give preference in custody decisions to the parent most likely to allow or encourage “frequent and continuing contact” with the other parent. These are usually referred to as “friendly parent provisions”, and are based on the assumption that the “friendly parent” is a better parent because he or she is fostering the relationship between the child and the other parent. These provisions can work against an abused parent, because the batterer may appear in court to be a more “friendly” parent. The abused parent often wants to limit contact with the batterer, which may appear to judges, mediators, evaluators, and other court staff as hostility – when, in fact, it may be due to fear about her or his own safety and the safety of the children.

Copyright National Center on Women and Family Law, Inc., 1992. I. Introduction In recent years, a number of state legislatures have enacted so-called "friendly parent" provisions as part of their states' custody statutes. /1/ These provisions typically make each parent's receptivity towards sharing parental responsibility a factor for courts to consider in making child custody decisions. Friendly parent provisions create numerous problems for women and children because they encourage courts to punish parents who object to joint custody or visitation and because they tend to be invoked more often against women.

kids comments kzirkel Dec 31, 2016 2:12 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER This from Rick Warshak... Thanks for sending this. Pretty much in line with what I have heard from kids over the years, except those who are severely alienated. You get slightly different responses if you ask what is the worst thing about your parents’ divorce instead of "about living in two houses.” The leading responses in my research were complaints about not seeing either parent enough. They were not seeing their father enough because when I did my research (late 70s, early 80s) fathers were awarded very little time with their kids after divorce, in many cases “reasonable visitation” with the phrase “reasonable” being left to the discretion of the mother. And they were not seeing their mother enough because she had to work more hours outside the home than before the divorce. Here is an excerpt from the Epilogue of my first book (Richard A. Warshak. (1992). The Custody Revolution, page 243. (NY: Simon & Schuster):

They were more interested in that case than any of others we presented, mostly, I suspect, because they like to be able to punt their decision to someone else (e.g., Dr. Zirkel). I told that them that like a lot of things in law, it is largely a matter of wording. So, if they use the term “will inform them...” there might be a problem. But, they can get to the same place if they use the words “will advise us...” with the court getting (in theory) the final word. So expect to still be on the hook!

Indirect proof--If Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy. Or healthy! kzirkel Mar 26, 2017 3:19 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER Recent study quoted in the APA Monitor (Dec. 2016): People with happier spouses are healthier, on average, than those with less happy ones. This is based on a longitudinal study of 1900 heterosexual couples age 50 and over, assessed 4 times over a period of 6 years. Previous research had found a link between people's health and their own happiness, but the new study is the first to find that one spouse's happiness significantly predicted the other spouse's health as well. It would appear to be a small step to generalize this finding to the children of these parents (but I am not aware of any research directly examining this). So, this might make our custody evaluations a bit easier. Simply give the kids to the happier parent! They'll end up healthier!! (Any logical errors in these conclusions???) Kip -- Kip Zirkel, Ph.D

Having a Guardian ad Litem with appropriate training and knowledge about the role of a Guardian ad Litem is crucial for families and the courts. To that end, the Practice Guidelines for GALs in Family Court, originally published by the Family Law Section in the spring of 1997 and updated in 2012, were substantially revised in 2016 and further updated in 2017.

Google Groups RE: [afccwi] Seeking Feedback on a Proposal to Allow Lawyer-Mediators to Do More ggviney Jan 29, 2016 3:49 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER Excerpts last two paragraphs "I think it is virtually impossible for a mediator to mediate property division and maintenance without giving legal advice, especially if a template MSA is followed. Simply explaining the options leads to a discussion that will necessarily involve legal advice. I've been in that position and there's simply no way to avoid giving legal advice (unless the parties have lawyers to consult and the mediator can adjourn the session for that purpose). I'm not saying this is necessarily bad for the public because a mediator/lawyer is probably better than no lawyer at all. That being said, though, this type of arrangement would very quickly violate the code of professional conduct. If we're going to allow the mediator to draft these complex MSA's, then we should be honest and say that we are relying on some kind of "scrivener" exception to the conflict of interest rules and we should revise the Code to allow for it. There are many reasons that lawyers want to do this type of work. One common denominator is that family law is drying up because of the emphasis on pro se representation. Marketing oneself as a "mediator" is a way to stay involved in family law and to provide people with the legal work the parties truly need, even if the parties themselves don't know they need it. But asking the mediator to draft the legal documents once again blurs the distinction between "lawyer" and "mediator." We should be careful what we seek.

Parent Coordinator mark.fremgen May 5, 2017 8:12 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER As a commissioner we do not normally get involved in the appointment or approval of a PC. The judges and commissioner in March attended the annual Family Law seminar and the topic of PC/referee was discussed. Ironically, while the presentation was occurring, the SCT released the Universal Processing Service case which, among the 80 pages of opinion and dissent held that the Order of Reference (terms of the appointment) impermissibly delegated to the referee judicial power constitutionally vested in Wisconsin’s unified court system. Justice Abrahamson wrote for the majority: “A referee may share judicial labor, but the Order of Reference may not allow a referee to assume the place of the judge.” Citing Federal cases, the majority noted that the trial court should not delegate “the core function of making dispositive rulings, including findings of fact and conclusions of law on issues of liability.” Finally the Court found the standard for review (abuse of discretion) was unconstitutional and noted that all reviews must be de novo (rationalizing that if the Legislature wanted to create such a standard of appellate review of referee decisions by the trial court it would have done so).The Court noted that a discretionary standard of review “gives the appearance of an abdication of the circuit court’s responsibility to exercise independent judgment.” The parties in a case I have recently filed a motion to address child support; while reviewing the file I came across a recent stip for PC (April 2017) and reviewed it. I was a bit concerned by some of the language and am curious about what others have seen with these agreements. Here are my concerns: (1) In the “agreement” the parties stipulate to a PC who is a licensed social worker who shall have the same “status and responsibilities similar to a Guardian ad Litem for our child”. Since a GAL has to be an attorney (767.407(3)), is this provision inappropriate? (2) the agreement notes that any decision of the PC shall have “court review” but fails to define or even include a provision for how court review is to be addressed; (3) In a paragraph under “Decisions” it does mention that the parties agree that the “Court shall give substantial weight to [the PC] decision”…doesn’t this imply a standard of “abuse of discretion” which the SCT has recently found to be the improper standard (should be de novo); (4) notes that the PC shall have discretion to share her report and decision with the GAL but is not required (as the advocate for the child’s best interests shouldn’t the GAL have an opportunity to review the PC decision and seek de novo review with the Court if the GAL deems appropriate?); (5) The PC report shall be sealed (in the Bilder case there are limits to sealing records and confidentiality and this is not one of those enumerated exceptions) I like the concept of a PC because it still enables the parents to make most of the necessary decisions without coming back to court every single time there is an impasse…however, these agreements need to be proper if they are to have any weight. Or, am I just being too critical! Thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eckdBZk5tNHBEbXM/view?usp=sharing
Re: [afccwi] Parent Coordinator Michael Dwyer May 9, 2017 10:30 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER Great questions. I have not had the time to fully digest the Universal Processing decision, so am not in a position to respond in detail. The problem of PC in Wisconsin where there is no statutory authority for it has always been the extent of the court's ability to delegate its authority. While the decision clearly limits the ability of a court to delegate, it sounds like it leaves room for PCs to make the small decisions that so bedevil our post judgment calendars.' My short answer to your ultimate question is that I do not think you are being too critical. Thanks for the post.

Re: [afccwi] ethical-professional issue mark.fremgen Jan 25, 2016 8:40 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER The Courts recognize the attorney's responsibilities to their client's as zealous advocates; but I agree that zealous advocacy must also include the duty to advise properly (the preamble of the SCR refers to lawyers as advocates, advisors, evaluators and negotiators). It is not a conflict to advise a client that their position in a contested placement case is a poor position (poor set of ideals, poor understanding of the family court system, a poor recognition of the parent's weaknesses in comparison to the other parent, parental character formed by poor choices or poor judgment, etc...). I believe it is impossible to properly advocate for a client if the client has not been given the best advise based on the lawyer's expertise and evaluation of the case. Although we recognize the lawyer's duties to his client, outlandish positions and outrageous arguments will inevitably fall on deaf ears (which could potentially taint the case for the future when the client may be in a better position to pursue his or her goals). I find myself at times coming away from a high conflict case with a parent who chooses to stop the fight, recognizing, partly, the inevitable loss, but when he or she informs me that it is in the best interests of the child to do so...I think that parent earns more respect from the court than the one who digs in his/her heels and refuses to give up the fight. That is something attorneys need to make clear to their clients as well..."there is always going to be a future, how do you want to lay the foundation-with the court- for that future battle?" https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eY2Z3WHJ5ekppdm8/view?usp=sharing
RE: [afccwi] ethical-professional issue dolores.bomrad Jan 25, 2016 4:17 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER This is a great discussion. Kip, thank you for the questions, and thanks to everyone for the thoughtful and insightful responses. I have had conversations about this issue with lawyers who represent parents in custody/placement disputes (in general, of course, not on cases). A lawyer who knows that his/her client's proposal is contrary to the best interest of the children does a disservice to the client by not discussing it with the client, presenting options, and advising the client to take a different approach. Few parents want orders that are contrary to the best interests of their children. Would a good lawyer promote a position that is not future-thinking; that may make the client's life miserable in the future? Certainly not with a financial issue. The lawyer would educate the client, present options, and advise the client to do other than the client requested. Why would that be different with issues that affect the clients children? One problem is that while people are in the process of divorce, which is a difficult and usually painful major transition in their lives, they are not always thinking rationally. They are quite often unable to focus on anything more than the here and now. As I understand it, long term planning is a function of the prefrontal cortex, executive functioning part, of the brain. I wonder how often someone going through a divorce that's bad enough to make the parents want a stranger to make child custody/placement decisions is really operating at that level. I would be very interested in hearing more from our mental health professionals on this topic. Dolores A.

RE: [afccwi] ethical-professional issue kcl Jan 25, 2016 9:00 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER Kip, There is nothing specifically in the rules of professional responsibility for lawyers which talk about the obligations to the best interest of minor children. Given that the rules are written to cover all lawyers, not just family law attorneys, they are very intentionally broad and don’t talk about many specific areas of practice (apart from a few special rules for GALs and prosecutors). There are, however, a couple of provisions which I believe apply. SCR 20:2.1 Advisor In representing a client, a lawyer shall exercise independent professional judgment and render candid advice. In rendering advice, a lawyer may refer not only to law but to other considerations such as moral, economic, social, and political factors that may be relevant to the client’s situation. SCR 20:3.1 Meritorious claims and contentions (a) In representing a client, a lawyer shall not: (1) knowingly advance a claim or defense that is unwarranted under existing law, except that the lawyer may advance such claim or defense if it can be supported by good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law; (2) knowingly advance a factual position unless there is a basis for doing so that is not frivolous; or (3) file a suit, assert a position, conduct a defense, delay a trial or take other action on behalf of the client when the lawyer knows or when it is obvious that such an action would serve merely to harass or maliciously injure another. I tell my clients that I am representing them, I am not representing their child or their child’s best interests. I explain the difference between myself as an attorney representing them as a client and a GAL who represents the concept of a child’s best interests. But I will also explain that I will not blindly do whatever they want me to do. From time to time, I have had client who wanted to propose something regarding their kids which I thought was crazy. Not necessarily legally frivolous, but just a horrible idea for what should happen with kids. On those rare occasions, I’ve counseled my client that I thought their ideas about custody or placement were pretty horrible from the kid’s perspective, that the GAL would likely think the ideas were horrible, that the court would likely think the ideas were horrible. I then proceeded to give the client a list of options which I thought might be better options. In most cases, the client ends up deciding on a different course of action. In my opinion, the worst attorneys I have dealt with are ones that believe they should do whatever their client wants them to do without any filter at all. To be fair, we are required to be zealous advocates, and I think most attorneys are, but we also have duties to be blunt with our clients when the occasion calls for it. I will give you an example of this from a recent divorce trial I had involving property division. I was arguing for an equal division of the marital estate. Opposing counsel was arguing that his client should receive all equity in the marital home. In his closing argument to the court, he ended with the following argument. I’m paraphrasing, but this is pretty close to what he said: Finally, your honor, while my client does understand that Wisconsin law does not recognize fault in divorce cases, he has asked me to argue that Ms. Doe should not be awarded any equity in the marital residence because she was the one who moved out of the house. Since she decided to move out of the house and commence this divorce action, she should not be entitled to any equity in the property. I would guess that most attorneys would tell you that is a frivolous argument. The attorney himself pretty much acknowledged this by couching the argument in terms that made it clear that it was his client who wanted him to make that argument. Not surprisingly, the judge was clearly annoyed with both the attorney and his client, and ended up agreeing with how my client proposed to divide the property. For whatever it’s worth, the supreme court has suspended the attorney who made this argument on three occasions. If I represented the other side in that case and my client told me they wanted me to make the argument that because his wife moved out of the house and because she filed a divorce, there should be an unequal division of property, I would have told him that I would not make that argument: not only is it frivolous, but it made the husband come across to the judge as a really bitter jerk. He did have non-frivolous (but weak) arguments to make about why there should be an unequal division of property, and I would have made those. This attorney instead just went ahead and made this goofy argument with seemingly little consideration of what impact it would have on his client. It’s not something I would have done, but the unfortunate thing is there are some attorneys out there who believe that zealousness has no boundaries. It does, and we all would be better served if attorneys recognized those boundaries and explained those boundaries to our clients. Korey C.

I really appreciate it. In the recent newsletter, Allan Koritzinsky and I submitted an article indicating that the traditional family law legal system was facing extinction and should be revamped. I suggested that Wisconsin could lead the way and that if the professionals who understand divorce the best do not do this, it will change, perhaps is ways that are completely unexpected and perhaps even terrible for families. Kip's submission here suggests two things: one, many children will have unmarried parents, which divorce statistics do not count but family law addresses; and two, market forces will reshape divorce unless there is leadership from the professionals in the system. 18 "archetypes" are no substitute for bounded rationality based on experience. I have an evaluation case in Illinois in which one of the parents has diagnosed their child with a serious mental health problem, based on internet search and guidance, including an online diagnostic list of criteria. That parent began to act on the diagnosis both with the school and with counseling, even though an assessment by a professional disagreed with the diagnosis. Do we really want people to take an on line survey, be categorized into an "archetype" and receive guidance in an extremely important set of decisions from algorithms or someone who has never met the people involved? I remember the sci fi films in which people were under the control of computers. Perhaps that is not as far fetched as it seemed at the time.

AFCC Chapter Toolkit – February 2015 Excerpts page 3 "I.Introduction The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC, or the parent organization, which are used interchangeably in this document) is a growing membership organization with almost 5,000 members. It is run by a small staff based in Madison, Wisconsin, comprised of an executive director, associate director, business and administrative director, operations administrator, marketing and communications manager, meeting manager, program coordinator, communications coordinator and a part-time program assistant. The governance of the organization is performed by a 19 member volunteer board of directors. Each year AFCC convenes an annual conference, a fall conference (alternating between a regional training conference and a symposium on child custody evaluations), several trainings around the US, as well as think tanks, task forces and work groups. These groups have produced Model Standards of Practice and Guidelines for Practice for many professional functions in the field of family law. Chapters play a significant role within AFCC. Chapters mirror the parent organization and provide opportunities for members who share the AFCC mission, vision and values to work and network at the local level. Chapters create a context for exploring problems, solutions and ideas resulting in direct and positive benefits for the families and children served by AFCC members. While AFCC is not a group that lobbies, it brings groups together for discussions, and encourages individuals to effect legislative changes that are consistent with our mission, vision and values. AFCC Chapters are independent entities, but each chapter represents the parent organization and all AFCC members. Chapters are inextricably linked by the name Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. Chapter members must be members of the parent organization, and it is important that chapter leadership be very familiar with AFCC and its work. Initially, the chapter leadership should be made up of AFCC members who have attended AFCC conferences and have been involved with parent organization events.

RE: [afccwi] Another crazy idea, too ggviney Mar 21, 2017 2:32 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I’ve always wondered if the court might start appointing (and paying for) a GAL for families that are NOT arguing. That way, the GAL could get an idea of how families manage to get along, what kind of schedules kids experience, what makes things work, and so on. Sometimes when all we see is dysfunction, we start believing crazy things about schedules and kids without thinking so much about “yes, but what does actually work?” Gretchen Gretchen Viney Distinguished Clinical Professor & Director, Lawyering Skills Program University of Wisconsin Law School From: afc...@googlegroups.com [mailto:afc...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kip Zirkel Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2017 7:03 PM To: AFC...@googlegroups.com Subject: [afccwi] Another crazy idea Research suggests that we are more motivated by avoiding loss than by gaining reward. Therefore, I propose that each divorcing parent will be given $1000 by the state, and every 3 months the children will be evaluated regarding how well the parents are keeping them out of the middle or not fighting in front of them. If based on child's report a parent fails the test, $100 is removed from that parent's "good parenting account." This would work well for parents who are unable to put their children's interests ahead of their own selfish agendas. After all, money appears to be a wonderful motivator--notice how many folks want to change the placement schedule in order to reduce their child support obligations? Just a thought.... -- Kip Zirkel, Ph.D

I think perhaps we need to get beer at idenfying it & describing what is going on, so the folks making the decisions have the informaon & are able to make decisions on the dynamic we see or at least have it to consider. I see this oen & in both studies & mediaons. I think there is oen a co-dependent feature to many of the couples & families we work with, at least when I looked up the definion it made the most sense to me. Perhaps you can offer a beer percepon of what is going on but I also see many folks where alcohol and/or drugs are or have been an issue or they have been raised in a family where it is an issue. It oen seems to me that each parent plays off the other’s insecuries and I agree, makes them second guess their parenng ability or at worst case, immobilizes them from parenng. I hope I didn’t miss the point of your queson or the discussion & if I did I’ll quote my favorite Gilda Radner character on Saturday Night Live & say “never mind” J Theresa Kelly-Arnes Waukesha County Family Court Services https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eOEZyYl9hMHp6SnM/view?usp=sharing

PAS is not a 'syndrome,' which has psychiatric connotations, but rather a dynamic where a parent's motive is to remove the child from any contact with the other parent using a variety of tactics. Indirect child abuse focuses on the damage done to the other parent's ability to be fully present to the child without having to deal with the attacks of the other parent. So indeed there is an overlap, but the emphasis is on the damage done to the parent's ability to provide ongoing full-on parenting!

ggviney Aug 16, 2016 1:29 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I agree with Bonnie. Another wrinkle is when one of the kids calls after-the-fact. Usually that’s not a problem, although it’s not comfortable situation. However, one time, a father found out that his daughter called me (from school) and threatened that if I ever spoke to his daughter (who lived mostly with him) again, he would have me arrested and charged with something, the particulars of which I can’t remember. I did ascertain then that a parent has a right to tell other adults to not contact their children, so without a court order, I wouldn’t contact a former child whose interest I represented. (Ironically, in the case I mentioned, I had told that child that I couldn’t do anything and didn’t feel comfortable speaking with her because she had the mistaken belief that I could do something for her. Of course, the father wouldn’t listen to my explanation. Sigh.) Gretchen https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eU3ZRZDBwLUJWdDA/view?usp=sharing
Re: [afccwi] GAL practice kenneth.waldron13 Aug 18, 2016 12:35 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER The problem with such a follow up is that we have no control group and no alternatives to which to compare. We could find, for example, that a family is still doing poorly or perhaps a little worse than they were doing, but if a different recommendation/order had been made, they might be doing even more poorly or perhaps substantially better. We cannot know. It is hard even to compare families across jurisdictions because their experience in each jurisdiction is unique. A parent education class taught by one person or group might be more or less effective than another. Even gross research findings are questionable. Research years ago found that school age children on average do better in some form of shared placement than in primary placement. Some of the children in shared probably did worse, however. Also, now that shared has become a rule of thumb in most jurisdictions, would we find the same results if we compared the two groups? I love good science because it gives us some guidance, but when dealing with real lives, we are often left to simply be sincere, try not to be bias and investigate as carefully as we can in order to make recommendations. If we are religious, we might throw in a prayer or two. Ken Waldron https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eRzZMU1RzZXBjYUk/view?usp=sharing
Re: [afccwi] FW: HIPAA Issue? cathryn.krissandassociates Apr 27, 2017 12:18 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I appreciate and agree with the clarity offered by Kip, Christine, and Nina. From a purely clinical perspective, I would no longer agree to serve as a child’s therapist during a hostile custody dispute unless the therapy was legally protected and the child’s confidentiality was guaranteed. In my opinion, it would be unethical for me, as a therapist, to encourage a child to express their thoughts and feelings about their family situation if it could/would be exposed in court. My professional ethics require me to protect the child’s privacy if, in my professional judgment, it will harm the child. The good news is many GAL’s understand this and stipulate the therapy records and the therapist are protected from subpoena. Additionally, I have learned to be very cautious about writing anything in the child’s records that could harm them if read by their parents or their parents attorneys during a current or future custody dispute.

Sent from my iPhone On Oct 25, 2016, at 9:38 AM, Kip Zirkel wrote: Comments would be appreciated on this idea: You have all heard of the diagnosis "Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy," which involves a parent abusing a child by creating physical symptoms in the child that have no organic basis, in order to gain a leg up in a custody evaluation. That parent's reasoning seems to be, "My child is ill and only have the needed skills to care for her and take her to her appointments." I have been considering another type: "Indirect emotional abuse of a child by proxy."( Probably not the best name..). This concept is reflected in one parent attacking, denigrating, verbally abusing, stalking, etc the other parent, with the indirect impact on the child of weakening the attacked parent's ability to care for the child. I have seen this occurring more frequently by dads directing their anger and hostility towards moms, with the impact of weakening that mother's ability to care for her child. As a result, the attacking parent (again, most often a dad who is angry about the divorce, or about not "winning" custody) is indirectly abusing his child, by doing all they can to compromise the other parent's care for her child. Have you encountered this in your practice? Or something similar? I wouldn't consider this as qualifying as a psychiatric diagnosis (we don't want to go the route that PAS went!), but rather a dynamic that needs intervention.

Why? research indicates that pregnant women exposed to stress give birth to children with a higher risk of schizophrenia. Also, there is an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight for babies born to depressed mothers. (Time Magazine, Oct. 4 2010, p. 51.

RE: [afccwi] question about mandated custody mediation in Wisconsin sah Feb 25, 2016 10:21 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I agree with this exchange. Shuttle (or caucus) mediation has become the norm in cases with lawyers—and it will likely continue to grow as judges retire and offer that form of mediation (which I refer to as judicial mediation). Mediation is a process with very diverse practices and no professional regulation. At least the mediator drafting proposal that was previously posted would make it clear that lawyers acting as mediators are bound by applicable ethical rules. My preference in my private mediation practice and our Family Mediation Center is definitely a joint process with the couple in the room. I agree that supports better communication and problem-solving for agreements and to help avoid future returns to court. Unfortunately, funding and time constraints are a problem for the mandatory custody/placement mediators. I doubt we’ll change the funding, but we can be a voice for clarity of definition and ongoing training. I think the best we can do is continue to advocate for best practices in family mediation and clarify the significantly different approaches to mediation whenever we can, including in professional schools, so clients can understand the differences and make informed choices.

Re: [afccwi] question for group kenneth.waldron13 Mar 29, 2017 8:05 AM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I love watching the way the law evolves. Interesting discussion. I am reminded of one way that courts have delegated their authority to me. In the treatment of complex family situations, like when a child is estranged from a parent or when there are unproven but serious allegations, I never take the responsibility to deciding on a final custody arrangement. I leave that to the Court. However, I do ask for the authority to arrange times for the child or children to be with a parent in the service of the treatment, which probably would fall into the category of temporary physical placement. I also by implication am in charge of how quickly we get to the target physical placement schedule set by the court, depending on how long it takes to reach treatment goals.

RE: [afccwi] question for group gloria.doyle Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER I concur with Kent's first 2 paragraphs (and then he gets county specific). If a child's therapist is saying the supervised visits can become unsupervised, that carries a lot of weigh with the court because it speaks solidly to our best interest standard and that they have worked through the issues previously identified with the child. There may be a safety plan or reduction in conflict which the child has experienced. If there is no stipulation, however, the court must have a hearing. Due to cost and other issues, the parent coordinator has not significantly taken off in western WI. But Thanks, Kent for the reminder that some things can be delegated! Gloria L.

RE: [afccwi] Research ideas Margaret Zickuhr May 12, 2016 9:24 PM Posted in group: AFCC WI CHAPTER Kip: Interestingly enough I have on occasions thought of contacting you about this issue because it has come up in my practice a lot over the last couple of years. So I’m thrilled that you asked. I have had an increasing amount of cases (some where I have been advocate and some where I have been GAL) where the mother is a very successful career woman and she married a man who was less successful and usually less driven than she is. Upon divorce, I have found these women to be relentless in acquiring primary placement and sole custody. The impetus behind that drive perplexes me. There are two cases in particular that I have going on right now. Both initially began with essentially equal shared placement and joint custody. Both women have accused the ex of abuse of the children, sexual assault of the children, and generally being bad fathers - usually a year or two year the divorce. None of the abuse has been substantiated. The men are very laid back, during the marriage they allowed the wife to handle everything with the children and manage their lives. Upon divorce, they often allowed the ex-wives to continue to manage the family and only when accusations were brought to CPS or Court did they wake up and start to act as an independent parent. Unfortunately, at that point their ability to co-parent is essentially impossible since the ex-wife is now entirely defensive and no trust exists. The wife has moved on to a more successful spouse and seemingly wants to take their kids into their new marriage and dismiss the biological father. These two cases are most fresh in my mind, but I have had many cases that have had this dismissive behavior by successful mother. I feel like there is some correlation here, but I think it would need someone like you to figure out what it is. Honestly, I find the mindset of the mother’s to be more interesting from a psychological perspective than the dads. Although, as the children’s GAL I oen wake up at night wondering if the abuse actually occurred even though it was unsubstantiated… why are these Dads in this same scenario? I am trying to be concise and sll draw enough facts that I’m making sense. Not sure I have achieved that. Please feel free to contact me if you want more information or just want to bounce around the idea. Thanks! Margaret Zickuhr

Excerpts page 4 ". In 1988, Stanley Cohen retired as executive director, and Ann Milne, a long-standing AFCC member, became executive direc- tor in 1989. The administrative office moved to its present horne in Madison, Wisconsin. THE 1990s: COMPLEX FAMILY ISSUES AFCC entered the 1990s as its growing membership was being professionally challenged by increasingly difficult family issues. The Review and conferences served as a forurn to explore the many controversies emerging in the field. The 1989 annual conference in Chi- cago featured a pre conference symposium on mediation and domestic abuse, and in 1992 152 FAMILY COURT REVIEW AFCC received a $200,000 grant from the State Justice Institute to collaborate with The Urban Tnstitute in Washington, DC to study the impact of mediation on custody disputes involving allegations of domestic violence. Peter Salem was brought on board to serve as the project director. The Review featured special issues on gender, court reform, parent educa- tion, mandatory mediation, and domestic violence. The challenges posed by high-conflict families were front and-center issues for most courts, and AFCC members led the way in developing new processes and techniques for working with these challenging family members. AFCC continued to serve as a catalyst for the dissemination of information through conferences, training programs, publications, and videotapes. Parenting coordinators, domestic abuse, mediation-arbitration, supervised visi- tation, custody evaluation, and child protection and dependency mediation began to appear on conference programs as members searched for effective family dispute resolution processes. 1993-AFCC’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY AFCC celebrated its 30th anniversary in New Orleans in May 1993. The conference theme and opening night videotape, The Economic impact of Divorce, provided an opportu- nity for more than 700 delegates to look at the big-picture impact of divorce and celebrate the largest conference attendance to date. In 1993, the association received a $175,000 grant from the Hewlett Foundation that enabled AFCC to add additional staff and absorb some of the work of AFCC’s many hard- working volunteer members. In 1994, Peter Salem joined the AFCC staff to become AFCC’s first associate director. Conference planning was centralized in the administrative office, and AFCC’s Professional Development and Technical Assistance Division was now staffed and formally launched. This division would become a significant source of activity and revenue, sponsoring five international symposium on child custody evaluations, five international con-gresses on parent education programs, two international colloquia on child protection and dependency mediation, and numerous training programs on topics including mediation, cus- tody evaluation, high-conflict families, and parent coordination in collaboration with local courts, the University of Wisconsin Department of Professional Development and Applied Studies, and other agencies. Members could count on AFCC conferences offering cutting- edge programs-not to mention being held in attractive locations including Maui, Montreal, San Antonio, and Boston. Second World Congress on Family Law and the Rights of Children and Youth Perhaps the most extraordinary effort of AFCC’s first 40 years resulted from the associa- tion’s partnership with Australia’s World Congress, Inc. as host of the Second World Con- gress on Family Law and the Rights of Children and Youth, held in San Francisco in June 1997. Chaired by AFCC’s first non-North American president, Hon. Alastair Nicholson, Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia, the 3-year planning effort involved hundreds of AFCC volunteers and culminated with more than 1,500 delegates from more than 50 countries participating in the 5-day extravaganza. Co sponsoring organizations included the American Bar Association Section of Family Law, the American Medical Association, United Nations Population Fund, Moose International, UNICEF, and the AFCC California Chapter. The lengthy list of luminaries included First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3edTdtTm9BTGxrZFE/view?usp=sharing
Excerpt page 5 "Salem, Milne / FORTY YEARS OF LEADERSHIP 153 served as honorary chairperson; renowned pediatrician Dr. T. Beny Brazelton; San Fran- cisco Mayor Hon. Willie Brown; Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta; and former U.S. Congresswoman Hon. Patricia Schroeder. The World Congress stretched AFCC’s organizational capacity to handle such a iarge project with a budget of more than $1 million, but it turned out to be a financia1 success with contributions of more than $400,000 from foundations, sponsoring organizations, and many supportive AFCC members and officially put AFCC on the international map. By 1998, mediation had established itself as a professional field of practice. Concems about training, certification, and regulation were apparent, and AFCC resumed its convenor role and reconvened the Symposium on Model Standards of Practice for Family and Divorce Mediation, which last met 8 years earlier in 1984. Representatives of more than 20 organiza- tions worked over the course of 3 years to create a revised set of model standards. The model standards were subsequently adopted by AFCC, the American Bar Association, the Associa- tion for Conflict Resolution, and numerous state and local rnediation organizations. On a sad note, the 1990s saw the passing of several noteworthy AFCC leaders. Meyer Elkin, a founding AFCC member and long-standing editor of the Review, passed away in 1994, and in 1995 forrner executive director, Stanley Cohen, died in a tractor accident on his Oregon farm. The last decade of the 20th century featured unprecedented growth for AFCC. The num- ber of AFCC members nearly doubled during the 1990s, approaching 2,000 members, as did attendance at annual and regional conferences. AFCC’s quarterly joumal, now narned, Fam- ily Court Review and edited by Professor Andrew Schepard, found a home and cosponsor at Hofstra Law School, accompanied by a student editorial staff. More than 750 delegates joined AFCC for its 37th annual conference in New Orleans in May 2000. U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife, Sheila Wellstone, a well-known advo- cate against domestic violence, provided the keynote address. AFCC members were sad dened to learn later of the Wellstones’ tragic death in an airplane crash in 2002. The New Orleans conference theme, “Alienation, Access, and Attachment,†provided the opportunity for members of the Northern California Task Force on the Alienated Child, led by Dr. Janet Johnston and Dr. Joan Kelly, to share their reformulation of Richard Gardner’s controversial Parental Alienation Syndrome. The work of the task force was then published in a special issue of the Family Court Review. AFCC received a second organizational development grant from the Hewlett Foundation in the amount of $150,000 to assist AFCC to focus on the future, survey its nernbers regard- ing their needs, develop a Web site, and take stock of AFCC’s organizational structure and its capacity to move forward. AFCC established an endowment fund, the Kids Count Club, with a goal to raise $500,000 to fund projects and prograrns to strengthen the association’s capac- ity to serve its members and support programs that serve children and families. Over the past 4 years, AFCC’s silent auction, held at each annual conference, and the Resource Develop- ment Fund, through generous contributions and rnernorials from AFCC mernbers, have advanced the Kids Count Club toward this mission and to date have raised more than $100,000. In response to leadership’s desire to update its governance, AFCC initiated a revision of its bylaws and govemance procedures, and the board of directors was downsized frorn 50 members to 19. The association took up the name-change issue again, temporarily using the moniker “AFCC†to designate an “association of family, court and community profession- als.†Tradition soon prevailed, however, and within a year AFCC retumed to being AFCC, the Association of Family and Conciliation Court " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3edTdtTm9BTGxrZFE/view?usp=sharing

Neville and Cheryl: The Odd Child Out. True and False Allegations of Child Sex Abuse by on Jul 21, 2016 THE BOOKSHELF †rue and False Allegations of Child Sex Abuse Richard A. Gardner, M.D. Creative Therapeutics, Creskill, NJ, 1992 In this landmark volume, Gardner explores the importance of differentiating between true and false child sex abuse allegations, particularly as these arise in the unique context of divorcing/divorced families (in conflict over who is to have custody of the children). In addition, he has a special chapter on “Hallmarks of Nursery School and Day Care Center Sex Abuse Hysteria,†a particularly relevant topic in light of the McMartin Preschool trial and other similar episodes. Reflecting enormous personal and professional courage in the present cultural context, Gardner challenges the almost universal assumption among mental health professionals that all child sex abuse allegations are true. He carefully examines the whole process by which false child sex abuse allegations are created and maintained, delineating the role of the child-alleged victim, the accusing parent (generally the mother) and the mental health examiner/†expert.†As a true social scientist, Gardner seeks to objectively examine the psycho-social phenomenon of child sex abuse allegations, offering many guidelines for differentiating between true and false claims. In our culture at this period in history, it is almost automatic that one assumes that all child sex abuse allegations are true. In fact, the alleged perpetrator is assumed to be guilty (the reverse of the usual standard of innocent until proven guilty), with virtually no possibility of ever being proven innocent. For such a falsely accused parent, the sentence is essentially the destruction of the parent child relationship, as the courts intervene to severely restrict contact between parent and child. This is a tremble price for both parent and child to pay, when the parent is innocent of any inappropriate sexual conduct. Gardner argues there is mass hysteria today, regarding child sex abuse. He compares the present paranoia, regarding the possibility of child sex abuse lurking behind every corner, to the Salem witch trials in the 17th century and the interrogations in the more recent McCarthy era. For those genuinely interested in the search for truth in these matters, Gardner’s argument is well worth considering. In the context of child custody disputes, Gardner views false child sex abuse allegations as one of the more destructivdsevere forms of his previously articulated “parental alienation syndrome.†Anyone who has been professionally involved in child custody litigation knows the enormous complexitykonfusion that arises in dealing with child sex abuse allegations in this context. Whereas many mental health professionals assume all child sex abuse allegations to be true, others function in various states of denial, finding it FAMILY AND CONCILIATION COURTS REVIEW, Val. 31 No. 3, July 1993 38@381 0 1993 Sage Publications. Inc. 3 80 THE BOOKSHELF 38 1 hard to believe any parent would sexually abuse their child. In fact, none of us will know for sure, in most cases, whether or not sexual abuse actually occurred. If Gardner’s book accomplishes nothing other than to cause mental health professionals to question the belief that all sex abuse allegations are true, then his book will have made a major contribution to the social sciences and to the families who experience sex abuse allegations. As professionals, we are much more likely to find the truth in these cases if we begin with an assumption of neutrality regarding the allegations and remain genuinely curious about all possibilities (i.e., that it may be true and that the allegation may be false). It is human nature (including that of professionals) to want to eliminate ambiguity in our conclusions, thus resorting to easy answers. In the present cultural context, i t is easy for the mental health professional to assume the allegation is true, as no one (including the family courts) is likely to challenge such a position. The more difficult road is to question the veracity of all sex abuse allegations, attempting to differentiate between the true and false ones. Indeed, such an approach is the more responsible one, in that the likelihood of severely damaging a parentkhild relationship (when the parent is innocent) is reduced. A false child sex abuse allegation is, in most but not all cases, as severely damaging to children and families as is the actual sex abuse of a child by a parent. In conclusion, mental health professionals and attorneys should find Gardner’s book enormously useful if they are genuinely interested in understanding this extremely complex phenomena. In his book, Gardner gives detailed descnptiondsuggestions on how to differentiate between child sex abusers and those who probably have not sexually abused their children. In addition, he offers guidelines for differentiating between true and false reports, as articulated by children. Similar guidelines are outlined for mothers reporting actual sex abuse versus those either intentionally or unintentionally making false allegations. Finally, Gardner gives a detailed critique of mental health professionals, identifying specific ways in which well-intentioned individuals program children into believing they were sexually abused. He then provides alternative interviewing techniques for those interested in conducting inter- views without inadvertently/improperly influencing the child. He concludes with chapters on therapy for children “who have actually been sexually abused†and on therapy for “nonabused children programmed to believed they were sexually abused.†Reviewed by F.

Reevaluating the Evaluators: Rethinking the Assumptions of Therapeutic Jurisprudence in the Family Courts
There is an evolving and worsening mess in the systems and procedures currently in place to determine child custody and perform child custody evaluations when parents disagree.
This article discusses the minimum disclosures every child custody evaluator (also known as "parenting evaluator" or "best interests" guardian ad litem or GAL) [1], or parenting coordinator (herein called a "mental health professional" or "MHP") [2a] should be required to make, responding satisfactorily and in full, before being appointed in any family law case to do a child custody evaluation -- in fact before doing anything beyond answering a list of limited, detailed, specific, and narrowly-crafted questions the answers to which are directly within the MHP's field of proved expertise. This format is being used to help illustrate a problem, and with another purpose in mind. That purpose is to call for a revolt altogether against the notion of "therapeutic jurisprudence" -- which has been proved to do little to benefit children, much to benefit the divorce industry, much to complicate and pervert our family laws, much to erode fundamental rights and liberties, and much to harm the families who become trapped in the system. There are many problems, of course. But they are symptoms. Step one is to get the agent of most of them out of our family courts. The Emperor has no clothes. http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/child-custody-evaluations.html

Commentary regarding parenting coordination in cases of high conflict disputes
Abstract
There is oftentimes no distinction in disputed divorce or child custody cases between “high conflict” and “abusive” relationships. This commentary addresses the important distinction between high conflict divorce cases and cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) and highlights the differences between the two terms. It further explores the role of parenting coordination efforts in high conflict cases and how those efforts are not always appropriate in cases of abuse. There is also further discussion regarding the importance of appropriate training for parent coordinators and, at minimum, what that training should entail.

- Recommended treatments for “parental alienation syndrome” (PAS) may cause children foreseeable and lasting psychological harm Article · Jul 2016 Stephanie Dallam Joyanna L. Silberg
- Examining the validity of parental alienation syndrome Article · July 2016 Abstract “Parental alienation syndrome” (PAS) is a phrase first coined by Dr. Richard Gardner. Since its inception several scholars have reviewed and criticized this construct, and it has never been accepted by the scientific community as a legitimate scientific construct, as a syndrome or as a mental disorder. Despite its general rejection as unscientific, the construct of PAS at times continues to be used in legal settings as if it has an adequate foundation within science, clinical, or forensic practice. This commentary briefly reviews past critiques of PAS and describes several additional problems that have occurred with the use of this construct. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/309029264_Examining_the_validity_of_parental_alienation_syndrome
- Commentary for “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome’” Article · July 2016 Abstract This commentary is in response to the article, “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome,’” and provides useful information to individuals and institutions within both the mental health and legal fields. Further exploration of the concepts within Richard Gardner’s parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is important given the fact that PAS has no methodologically sound, peer-reviewed research and yet legal systems and mental health professionals continue to rely on it greatly in making very important legal decisions that affect the lives of many. While attorneys, judges, or clinicians may not say a child is suffering from PAS, or may never even use the term “alienating,” they still base their opinions and subsequent recommendations on Gardner’s concepts and ideology. Articles like this one hopefully bring light to these important areas and bring the focus back on what is in the best interest of the children.

- Relaxation of rules for science detrimental to children Article · January 2016 Abstract This article examines the impact of the current role of evaluators in divorce and child custody cases where there are allegations of domestic violence and/or child abuse and what the courts permit as testimony by experts. The authors explore the courts’ permissive rules in family courts, and the influence evaluators have on the resulting decisions in those court cases as well as how personal beliefs, knowledge, experiences, and biases of the evaluators can affect evaluators’ recommendations to family court judges. The rules which permit less use of traditional normative tools, such as tests and assessments, in the specialized environment of a divorce proceeding or allegations of abuse are examined by the authors. This exploration takes place in the context of the scientific and professional associations that govern the psychology community. Finally, the article examines how a child’s report of abuse can negatively impact the court when in the hands of an evaluator who lacks sufficient training in domestic violence and child abuse and/or lacks the tools necessary to properly assess the issues before the court. Relaxation of rules for science detrimental to children.

- J Child Adolesc Psychiatr Nurs. 2001 Jul-Sep;14(3):105-14. Attachment therapy using deliberate restraint: an object lesson on the identification of unvalidated treatments. Mercer J1. Author information Abstract TOPIC: An unusual and potentially dangerous intervention called attachment therapy, used for children and adolescence. PURPOSE: To help clinicians understand the nature of attachment therapy and the ways in which it exemplifies unvalidated treatment approaches. SOURCES: Internet and published articles on evaluation of treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Attachment therapy has many characteristics associated with warning signals of an unvalidated treatment. Mental health professionals have responsibilities to educate individuals and the community about unvalidated treatments such as attachment therapy and to work toward legislation and policy change to make such treatments unavailable. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11814077?dopt=Abstract

- Petition : How many more children must suffer and be sentenced to live in the abusers homes because of Richard Gardner's discredited pro-pedophile theory parental alienation ? Will we allow them to fully legalize sex with children? In everyone of these cases that they get away with placing a child in the sex offenders home they gateway legalize it. In everyone of these cases where they place a child who reports abuse in the abusers home it sets a precedent that no child who reports abuse will be believed and protected. Parental alienation theory invented by Richard Gardner is being used to gateway legalize child abuse, punish children reporting abuse, and destroy the family court system by turning it into a pedophile friendly sex trafficking ring of racketeering and corruption with a side of greed. Sign here and let's set precedent that no child who reports abuse will be sentenced to live in the abusers home nor sex with children legalized because of a discredited pro-pedophile theory invented by Richard Gardner called parental alienation theory. Thank you to all who help us set precedent Sign here https://www.causes.com/posts/962743

- Secondary Victimization of Abused Mothers by Family Court Mediators Echo A. Rivera, Cris M. Sullivan, April M. Zeoli First Published February 15, 2012 Abstract Family court often assists divorcing parties in establishing custody arrangements. Mediation is commonly used for custody negotiation; however, its applicability for cases involving intimate partner abuse (IPA) is debated. This study was designed to gain an in-depth understanding of abused mothers’ court mediation experiences and how those experiences impact future court help-seeking when the fathers of their children have been abusive to them. Most women experienced secondary victimization during mediation, which had a negative impact on their willingness to use the court in the future. Policy recommendations include screening for IPA, providing separate mediation sessions, and improving court mediators’ training. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1557085111430827

- Lundy Bancroft This introduction is adapted from a section that I wrote for Disorder in the Courts: Mothers and Their Allies Take on the Family Court System, an e-book available from California NOW. Excerpts "The sad result of this double-bind is that many mothers who take entirely appropriate steps to protect their children from exposure to abuse are being insulted by court personnel, harshly and unethically criticized and ridiculed in custody evaluations and psychological assessments, and required to send their children into unsupervised contact or even custody with their abusive fathers. And sometimes these rulings are coming in the face of overwhelming evidence that the children have both witnessed abuse and suffered it directly, evidence that would convince any reasonable and unbiased person that the children were in urgent need of protection. Family courts across the US and Canada appear to be guilty day in and day out of reckless endangerment of children. " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eRE9oS3NaYmFtOHM/view?usp=sharing

Judicial officers are not experts in domestic violence and they can only make decisions on the basis of the evidence before them, the assessments made by the “experts” likely play an important role in best interest considerations. Of concern is current research that calls into serious question the expertise of these “experts” when it comes to proceedings involving allegations of coercively controlling violence.

- Child abuse and child custody Posted By Judith Reisman On 03/09/1999 Excerpts " arstow cites judicial training as misguided, commonly “relying upon such child custody experts” as Dr. Richard Gardner, whose “Parental Alienation Syndrome” (PAS) trivializes pedophilia and incest. Gardner writes, “If the mother has reacted to the [incestuous] abuse in a hysterical fashion, or used it as an excuse for a campaign of denigration of the father, then the therapist does well to ‘sober her up.'” Barstow asserts that under threat of PAS mothers are indeed being “sobered up.” Mothers reporting incest become “guilty” of PAS (denigrating and alienating the father). That is, “emotional abuse” of the child. Thus, women nationwide who follow the law and seek protective custody orders from the state after battery or child sexual abuse, are increasingly labeled the “emotionally” harmful “party.” One such PAS mom writes, “I am only allowed to see her 4 hours a month, I am being charged $100.00 an hour to visit my own daughter … and I pay $600.00 a month child support [to the incest offender]. I cannot believe that this can happen in America.” https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNHVMRENodzUtcTg/view?usp=sharing

- Evaluating PAS: A Critique of Elizabeth Ellis's “A Stepwise Approach to Evaluating Children for PAS” Amy Neustein ; Michael Lesher a Linguistic Technology Systems, Fort Lee, New Jersey Private Practice, Passaic, New Jersey Online Publication Date: 01 July 2009 Excerpts "Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is a hydra: chop off its head, and new ones sprout up to take its place. For 20 years, critics of PAS theory have debunked its flawed assumptions, its self-serving methodology, and its inadequacy to assess allegations of child sexual abuse (e.g., Bruch, 2001; Hoult, 2006; Niggemyer, 1998; Neustein & Lesher, 2005). Now, Dr. Elizabeth Ellis, a defender of PAS theory, concedes the most damning of the objections, yet contends that the theory may be salvaged by standardizing the methods by which evaluators detect the elusive syndrome behind complaints of abusive behavior by a parent (usually a father) issuing from a sincere, non-pathological child. But, arming PAS evaluators with a refurbished ‘‘stepwise’’ methodology does not cure the fundamental defects of the theory; Ellis’s methods only put a new face on the old evils. In fact, nothing will fit PAS for the professional demands of forensic psychology or for the needs of the family court judges who claim to rely on it. What the theory needs is not retouching, but rejection. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNFhhbk5QQkljY2c/view?usp=sharing

- Open Message to the U.S. Senate & House of Representatives via UNITED FOR JUSTICE "A junk science theory called " Parental Alienation Syndrome" or "PAS" is being used as the primary courtroom tactic to shut the mouths of abused children and mothers. Developed by Richard Gardner of Columbia University, this "syndrome" he purports is not based on systematic research, instead developed from personal observation and prejudices. Gardner has never tested his theory, it is not contained within the DSM-IV, and most of its foundational assumptions have been disproved. Gardner has espoused recommendations called "Threat Therapy" to send children to juvenile detention centers and mothers to jail for reporting abuse. He has written articles expressing the idea that incest and pedophilia may not be as traumatic as current social attitudes suggest. PAS is routinely used in courts across the country to inappropriately remove custody from loving, safe and fit mothers under a variety of scenarios: domestic violence, child abuse of any sort, reluctance to support flip-flopping shared custody schedules, reluctance to send children on unsupervised visitation with fathers with anger-management problems, substance abuse problems, poor parenting, etc. Abused and molested children have lost their voices in court. There exists a pattern of court rulings which reflect that molestation or other abuses of one's own child can earn a father sole custody, whereas if the same crime had been committed upon the child who lives next door, the same perpetrator would be sentenced to a long prison term. While these re-victimized children lose their mothers, protracted litigation pads the pockets of lawyers, mental health providers, custody evaluators, and visitation monitors. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNXpMTUttSWZSYkk/view?usp=sharing
- Casualties of a Custody War part oneCasualties of a Custody War authors Mackenzie Carpenter, Ginny Kopas excerpts "Early last year, the conflict prompted a Westmoreland County judge to take drastic action. It was called "threat therapy."Common Pleas Judge John J. Driscoll directed Nathan and his brothers not only to visit their father, but to be in a positive frame of mind and be respectful and obedient toward him. If they didn't behave on those visits, former district attorney Driscoll ruled, their mother could go to jail. A questionable expert The kind of criminal contempt sanction that Driscoll levied - threatening to jail a parent for a child's behavior while the child is out of the parent's control - is highly unusual, according to national experts in family law. Driscoll's "threat therapy" ruling, which remains in effect, is all the more controversial because it seems to rely on recommendations by Dr. Richard Gardner, a prominent expert witness whose unorthodox ideas about treating children in child custody cases are popular with some lawyers, but have been questioned by many mainstream mental health professionals.

It turned out that fathers’ rights groups had developed a persuasive argument in family courts across the country, enabling them to win custody of their children more often. The fathers hired expert witnesses trained in identifying a disorder in children called Parental Alienation Syndrome, or PAS—a phrase coined in 1985 by the psychiatrist Richard Gardner, who gave himself a new career in the process. He claimed that children of divorce could be alienated from one parent by the other, thus transforming what most experts acknowledge may be an occasional phenomenon into a full-blown, although unproven, theory. Gardner further insisted that any associated charges of child abuse were unfounded and due to a spiteful attempt by one parent to alienate children from the other.

Critics of the Family Court say the 2014 judgment, which is about to be challenged in court, is part of a disturbing trend whereby the court sees a parent who is supposedly alienating the other parent as worse than an abusive parent. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eY0tRSFg5LXBRRFE/view?usp=sharing
- Protecting Abused Children July 09, 2013 at 8:22 PM Hi. Ricky Greenwald here, founder and director of Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute, and this blog’s author Excerpts "The first time I was brought in as an expert witness on a contested child custody case involving alleged child abuse, I was horrified. There was overwhelming evidence of child abuse, clearly presented. Yet the entire system – child protective services, court, etc. – seemed dead set on ignoring the evidence, disregarding the child’s interests, supporting the perpetrator’s “property rights” over the child, and even penalizing the other parent for trying to protect the child. I told myself, “This is just too bizarre, it must be a fluke.” But I have come to learn that this is typical in the USA, not a fluke at all. Parents (usually mothers) attempting to protect their children from further abuse are routinely penalized for their efforts (Plummer & Eastin, 2007). It’s gotten so crazy that when a mother in a divorce proceeding believes that there has been child abuse, the lawyer will often advise her not to raise the abuse, for fear of losing custody. An estimated 58,000 children per year are adjudicated to custody or unsupervised visitation with known abusers (Leadership Council, 2008). Other countries have even granted asylum to American mothers and children because our court system has declined to protect the children from well-documented abuse. My own profession is integral to the problem. Many psychologists without expertise in trauma, abuse, or domestic violence conduct inadequate evaluations and on that basis provide inappropriate advice to the court (Kleinman, 2012). Worse yet, some psychologists know exactly what they’re doing, and cynically play the system as “hired guns” helping child abusers to retain access to their victims (Greenwald, 2013). However, the problem is far more widespread, involving every aspect of the system that is supposed to be protecting children (e.g., Walker, Cummings, & Cummings, 2012). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eQV9zUFlCUHh6dk0/view?usp=sharing

- voicesofmen.org Generals Petraeus and Allen – Helping a Domestic Violence Victim? By Ben Atherton-Zeman, 11/15/12 Excerpts "There are many examples of battered women who are labeled “unstable” and are accused of lying about abuse, when clear evidence is presented to the contrary. Medical documentation of child and spousal abuse are routinely ignored by courts, who persist instead in the mythical narrative that battered women lie about being abused. Incredibly, the presentation of such evidence often serves to vindicate some judge’s misguided opinions about the believability of battered women – such was the case with Khawam’s judge when medical evidence of child abuse was presented.** “Every year 58,000 children are sent for custody or unprotected visitation with dangerous abusers,” says Barry Goldstein. Goldstein reports that when these women are not believed, the consequences for the children can be grave. “In a two year period starting in 2009, abusive fathers involved in contested custody cases murdered 175 children - often with the unwitting assistance of the courts.” Dr. Mo Therese Hannah, professor and cofounder of the Battered Mother’s Custody Conference http://www.batteredmotherscustodyconference.org/, says that Khawam’s situation is far from unique. “This has happened to women all over this country - rich and poor, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, waitresses, attorneys - almost all of them fine mothers who happened to have a child with an abusive man,” says Dr. Hannah, who went through a custody battle herself. “Look for this to be another major public scandal rivaling Penn State and clergy sexual abuse.”https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eWWYzZ1BZbjR3N0k/view?usp=sharing
- 09/30/2015 02:00 pm ET Updated Sep 30, 2016 Our Family Courts Routinely Fail to Dispense Justice for Victims of Family Violence By Randy Burton Excerpts "Our family courts have subjugated the right of a child to be raised in an environment free from abuse and neglect to the parents’ supposed right to do as they see fit with their “property” for so long that it is second nature to force children to live in unacceptably dangerous and violent “homes.” How is this any different than the horror stories we hear occurring in other parts of the world? We have no right to get on our high-horse about India. We are no better. Children are citizens of the United States, endowed with the same constitutional rights as adults. Nowhere in our Constitution or Bill of Rights does it say that a child MUST reconcile or spend time with someone they despise or who has abused them. Until we take a hard look at ourselves and begin to stand up for the rule of law and the right of all people to be free from violence, we cannot call ourselves a civilized country. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNExDeTN1MjRrVmc/view?usp=sharing

- This article examines the impact of the current role of evaluators in divorce and child custody cases where there are allegations of domestic violence and/or child abuse and what the courts permit as testimony by experts. The authors explore the courts’ permissive rules in family courts, and the influence evaluators have on the resulting decisions in those court cases as well as how personal beliefs, knowledge, experiences, and biases of the evaluators can affect evaluators’ recommendations to family court judges. The rules which permit less use of traditional normative tools, such as tests and assessments, in the specialized environment of a divorce proceeding or allegations of abuse are examined by the authors. This exploration takes place in the context of the scientific and professional associations that govern the psychology community. Finally, the article examines how a child’s report of abuse can negatively impact the court when in the hands of an evaluator who lacks sufficient training in domestic violence and child abuse and/or lacks the tools necessary to properly assess the issues before the court .http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15379418.2016.1130596?journalCode=wjcc20

- Children As Pawns: Who Determines Custody? October, 2003 By Lawrence Jay Braunstein Excerpts " Conclusion We are all human, and unfortunately, each of us functions in this world with many biases, some hidden, some overt. This includes child custody evaluators. Great attention must be paid to the individual make-up, experiences and personality of the child custody evaluator so that these biases can be explored as part of the litigation process. This type of evaluation must occur in order to determine whether the evaluator's opinions and conclusions are based upon the raw data collected by him or her as part of a forensically and scientifically defensible evaluation process, or whether it is derived from his or her personal issues superimposed upon the parties.

Excerpts "Most reports include the dates on which each parent has been seen by the psychologist. If the psychologist did not see them again after the test was given, it means that the psychologist never reviewed the critical items with the client. Such a review might have changed the report and the personality profile on which it was based." https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eSkdjY2N5U1NkbmM/view?usp=sharing

- Reducing Suicide: A National Imperative (2002) Chapter: 5 Childhood Trauma Excerpts "5 Childhood Trauma With the long maturation process in humans comes a prolonged period of vulnerability to developmental trauma. Events occurring during development can have profound and lasting impact on functioning and the brain. For the unwanted outcome of suicide, there appear to be at least two pathways through which developmental events can change risk. First, a large body of research describes the impact of developmental events, including childhood trauma, on the occurrence and severity of the mental and substance abuse disorders that increase suicide risk. Secondly, childhood trauma has emerged as a strong and independent risk factor for suicidal behavior in adolescents and adults (Browne and Finkelhor, 1986; Paolucci et al., 2001; Santa Mina and Gallop, 1998). Therefore, understanding childhood trauma and its psychobiological effects has the potential to illuminate the pathway of causation from early trauma to later suicide. With this understanding comes a lengthy, often years-long, opportunity for targeted intervention, both to prevent childhood trauma from taking place and to minimize its impact if it has occurred. Currently, delivery of appropriate intervention and prevention is hampered by numerous obstacles. These include problems in the responsible educational, legal and medical systems, the stigma of mental illness, and limited knowledge among the public about the importance of early emotional development.

- May 7, 2017 The War on Drugs Failed by Not Addressing Root Causes of Addiction Excerpts "DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, first of all we have to realize that people are not addicted because they want to be addicted, or because they chose to be. They're addicted because they were traumatized, and addiction is in every case an attempt to sooth the emotional pain and terrible self-loathing that follows from trauma. And so, that these people are actually traumatized victims of childhood adversity in every single case; which is very much informed and exaggerated by social conditions of inequality and oppression, and economic uncertainty and despair. So, then how do you deal with such people? It means you have to deal with them with utter compassion, really supporting them where they're at. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eUW5BUGVUcFVyeEE/view?usp=sharing

Almost all women now inhabiting “Canada’s addiction capital”—as the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver has been called—suffered sexual assaults in childhood, as did many of the males. Childhood memories of serial abandonment or severe physical and psychological abuse are common. My patients’ histories are chronicles of pain upon pain.
- Addiction Articles & Interviews Audio & Video Books FAQ Dr. Maté, renowned addiction expert, calls for a compassionate approach toward addiction, whether in ourselves or in others. Dr. Maté believes that the source of addictions is not to be found in genes but in the early childhood environment. In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts, his most recent best-selling book, draws on cutting-edge science and real-life stories to show that all addictions originate in trauma and emotional loss. https://drgabormate.com/topic/addiction/
