CT Family Court Lawyers Collude to Sell Son to Dentist Father, Frank Tiberi — the Story of a Mother’s Loss

The Tiberi divorce and custody case in CT Family Court is now in its third year. The husband is an affluent dentist, Dr. Frank Tiberi. The wife, Joriz Tiberi, was a stay-at-home mother. They have one child, Leo. He is seven years old.  The husband controlled the marital assets, around $2 million.

Need I say more?

The court actors are the usual suspects: Judge Jane Grossman.

 Dad’s attorney, Lisa Knopf.

The guardian ad litem [GAL] is Janis M. Laliberte.

The custody evaluator Dr. Jessica Biren Caverly.

The mother, Joriz Tiberi had a succession of attorneys. The two most significant in the collusion that reaped the result of a no-contact order for the mother and child are Debra B. Marino and Shawna Hamilton Doster.

The following is an edited version of a more extended interview with Joriz Tiberi, another CT mother who lost her child.

 

You are presently embroiled in a family court dispute in Connecticut. How long has this been going on?

It’s been going on for three years.

Do you ever feel that the lawyers and the other players make it more complicated than it needs to be?

Absolutely. The lawyers create all the drama. I think the lawyers made him angrier than he was.

Why was he angry in the first place?

The fact that I left him and that I reported abuse. My son was disclosing that his father was molesting him.

What did your son say he did?

My son would say that he was playing with his penis. So, one day, I bathed him. And I asked him how his visit was with his father. And he said, ‘bad. Daddy poked me.’  I said, ‘what do you mean?’ And he pokes himself in his bottom, showing me what daddy does.  Because he said it so many times, I turned the camera on because nobody would believe me.

And your son was saying that his father was doing what?

He says Daddy poke me.  And I’d say with what? And he would say the ‘mommy finger’ and the ‘daddy finger.’ And at that age, that’s how they describe their fingers.

In your son’s mind, do you know which finger is the daddy finger and the mommy finger?

The daddy finger is the thumb, and the mommy is the index finger.

And he would use those two fingers to—

To poke him.

To poke the child.

Yes. My son said it playfully. It was almost like, you know, he’s like he didn’t like it. His father wasn’t forcefully poking him. So, he was describing to me what his father does, but he wasn’t showing me that he was hurt by it. It hurt him, but he wasn’t scared of his father.

He’s a dentist, right?

He is.

Frank Tiberi, DMD

You don’t get to see your child. Is that correct?

No, I do not.

Joriz and son, Leo Tiberi.

Who was the judge?

Judge Jane Grossman.

Judge Jane Grossman

And who is Tiberi’s lawyer?

His lawyer is Lisa Knopf.

Attorney Lisa Knopf

And who’s the guardian ad litem?

Janice Laliberte.

Attorney Janis Laliberte, Guardian Ad Litem for Leo.

Who is the custody evaluator?

Jessica Biren-Caverly.

Dr. Jessica Biren-Caverly has taken children away from their protective parents more times than she cares to recount.

Alright, so you’ve got the full artillery against you. Grossman, Caverly, Laliberte, and Knopf. That’s a pretty potent team. Who did you have for your lawyer?

Well, the most recent one who withdrew from my case was attorney Shawa Hamilton Doster. The one before that was Vacilipi Filipacos. And the one before that was Debra Marino, and the first one was Karen Fisher.

Attorney #1 Karen Fisher

Now, why do you have this changing of attorneys?

Frank keeps buying them off. I realized that after the second attorney when I saw $15,000 written into the court-ordered agreement to pay my lawyer while custody of my son was taken from me. She spoke very fast, and I trusted her.

Who had the money, you or him?

He does.

Did he control marital assets?

He controlled everything.

Did you get a share of your marital assets?

Absolutely not. There are interim orders that say Frank keeps 100% of everything, and I only get to keep the debt of anything that Frank was court-ordered to pay.

Okay, he gets the money; you pay the debt. And what would you say your combined net worth was when you filed for divorce?

I would say maybe $2 million.

How much do you think was paid in legal fees, guardian fees, and so forth?

I would say $500,000 to $700,000. Frank doesn’t disclose what he’s paying out.

Who paid for your lawyers?

I paid the first two, and then Frank paid $15,000 to my lawyer Deborah Marino to turn custody over to him.

He purchased your child.

Yes. Because Marino coerced me into signing a court-ordered agreement, making me believe that the custody evaluation by Jessica Biren-Caverly] was it. Jessica Biren-Caverly said I’m crazy. So, I must be crazy. So, Marino said, if I do not want this in my permanent file and want 50-50 of my son, I better sign our son’s temporary sole and legal custody to Frank.

I didn’t even know what that meant at that time. Marino said it’s just temporary. It’s just for now.

Dr. Jessica Biren-Caverly paid to play.

So, Deborah Marino, your lawyer, wanted to be paid, and you didn’t have the money. And the deal was, if you signed temporary custody to Frank, then Marino would get an immediate payment of $15,000 from Frank?

She had wanted an initial retainer of $10,000.  I did not have that. And before retaining her, she recommended that I file a restraining order against Frank. Because my son was still acting out. We were still living in the marital home together.

Home of Joriz, Frank, and Leo Tiberi in Fairfield County, CT.

Get Frank thrown out of the house?

Yeah, this is what she said. She said, ‘you know, to keep your son safe, this is what we’ll do.’

Did you file this restraining order?

I did. After I filed it, I needed to appear in court. I’m going to need an attorney for it. So, I told Marino I filed it. She said, ‘Well, you know what? You’ll need $10,000 for a retainer for your dissolution. And $4,000 for me to appear for the restraining order.’ So now she wants $14,000.

So, I tell her. ‘Well, I don’t have the money.’ She said, ‘Well, could you ask someone for it? Is there anything that you could sell?’ I had a $30,000 centerpiece solitaire diamond. She told me where to sell it, Valentine’s Jewelers in Milford. I went there, and I sold it for just the amount she needed. And I gave her the money.

Attorney Debra Marino couldn’t secure her client access to marital funds. Instead, she told her to sell her diamond and give her money.


So you gave her $14,000, which is what she needed for the divorce and the restraining order.

Yeah. But when we got there for the restraining order, Marino struck the deal with the opposing counsel.

What happened?

She said, ‘You know what? It’s not good to go on with the restraining order.’

The restraining order Marino took the four-thousand to represent you? First, she told you to do it. Then she told you it’s a bad idea. Did she refund the four thousand?

No, she did not. Instead, she said, let’s bring in Janis Laliberte.

A guardian?

Janis Laliberte, Guardian Ad Litem

Yes.

Attorney Marino wanted $14,000 – $10,000 to represent you and $4,000 for the restraining order. You sold your diamond. Got her $14,000. She then told you, ‘No, it’s a bad idea to do the restraining order. I’ll just keep the four for doing nothing. Let’s bring in Janis Laliberte, the guardian.

She says, ‘Oh, Janice, Laliberte, she’ll protect your son. If she smells anything that Frank may be doing.’ 

According to Deb Marino, Laliberte was like a hound dog.

Yep.

She could smell from a mile away. So, you agreed to do this. So, who’s to pay this hound dog to sniff this out?

Frank.

So, Frank paid the guardian?

Yes.

Did Marino tell you that since Frank was paying her, she might favor the man who paid her, or it doesn’t work that way?

I didn’t know.

Did you think that Laliberte, the guardian paid by the father maybe to encourage more payments, favored him? Or do you think she was an unbiased hound dog as she was described by Marino to be?

No, she’s a biased hound dog. She was bought over and over again.

How much did she bill on this case so far?

I believe about $80,000.

Paid by Frank?

Paid by Frank.

Janis Laliberte, GAL

Do you think that that money would influence Laliberte?

Oh, absolutely.

When did you first notice that she was not unbiased?

Well, I’ve always kind of felt that way. But then, you know, it’s kind of that thing where everybody’s speaking the same language, my attorney that’s supposed to be advocating for me, opposing counsel. And then the custody evaluator, and there’s a supervisor, and I didn’t realize they’re all working together.

Do you think they knew each other?

Oh, absolutely. The supervisor was Lisa Kerin, and I’ve spoken to mothers that have had the same situation, the same opposing counsel, the same guardian ad litem, and the same evaluator.

Lisa Kerin, Supervisor of visits between Joriz and Leo, insists she drives Joriz’s car with Frank Tiberi’s $5,000 retainer in her pocket.

Okay, so they all figured out pretty early that Frank had the money and he would pay everybody.

He would be angry and stupid enough to keep dishing it out because he hated me so much.

Why did he hate you?

For leaving him and showing all his secrets.  I never thought he liked children, or I hate to believe that. I hate to think that. I did not see it, but it can’t be a coincidence to have two kids behaving in such a manner… But he also tends to like men.

How do you know that?

I went to California and came back. I saw male clothing, and he would tell me the story of why someone wore this and sweated it out. And there’s, you know, different coats of other men.

Couldn’t that be innocent, just having a friend over?

I’ve seen on his phone male pornography. But he liked a lot of women as well. He admitted that he cheated on me while I was pregnant. He brought me to some of the women to show he was sorry, and he wouldn’t do it again.

What’d he do, slip them in the house while you were asleep?

When I was pregnant, I decided to leave him because he was taking drugs. My husband is a recovering heroin addict—[CT Dept of Health Disciplinary Action re: fraudulent prescriptions, drug abuse].

Frank Tiberi was cited for using narcotics while performing dentistry, writing his own prescriptions, and working with his brother Thomas at Tiberi Family Dental.

Oh, I see.

When I was pregnant and we were planning our wedding. I don’t know; maybe Frank, he felt the pressure. I caught him taking sleeping pills and muscle relaxants and things like that, and I thought for me to have a more peaceful end of my pregnancy, I’d go back to California.

Were you going to come back after you had the child?

I planned to come back. Things were very emotional. We weren’t married yet. And we were supposed to be married. And he didn’t want me to leave, and I didn’t want to leave, but I couldn’t be in that environment, knowing his past. And now I have a child.

Has he been using heroin since you married him?

Not that I know, but he drinks exceptionally heavily. He takes a lot of anabolic steroids. I don’t know what kind of pills he’s into now

Is he a weightlifter?

Yeah. He likes to think that he is. So he goes to the gym, lifts weights, and takes a lot of steroids.

I see, so he takes steroids, drinks a lot, and possibly molests his child, maybe not. On the other hand, he may have molested his daughter.

You went to California. You weren’t married. Did you feel that that was wrong that he was dating other women when you left him and went to California?

He admitted it to me when he came to California to come and get me, I had to forgive him because we were going to have a child. So, I forgave him for everything he’d done because it meant more for my son to have a father and mother.

So, you went back with him? And how old is Leo now?

My son is now seven years old. I missed his seventh birthday on March 31st.

Joriz and Leo

Let’s go back a little bit. You paid a woman, attorney Marino $14,000 for a restraining order and to represent you. She changed her mind about getting a restraining order but chose to keep the money you paid her for that. She said to you, ‘Let’s get a hound dog, a woman who could smell out a pervert.’ But she couldn’t smell Marino, but she could smell a pervert a mile away. And she would protect your son, and now you don’t have a relationship with your son. Did Marino suggest you were molesting your son?

No, never.

Did she find that the father was not molesting the son?

She kept saying, ‘Dr. Caverly never saw that he was doing anything. Oh, no, he’s been checked by Dr. Caverly. He’s okay.’

Is Tiberi Caverly’s patient?

No.

How many times did Caverly meet with Tiberi?

I think she met with Frank maybe twice; she met with me twice.

So, Caverly has an even greater ability to smell than Laliberte because she ascertained that he’s a perfect father in just two meetings with Tiberi.

Dr. Jessica Biren-Caverly has her marching orders before sitting down with the parents to do her custody evaluation.

Mmm-hmm.

And then, so you went from Laliberte, and then they told you to get Calverly. And who paid Caverly?

My husband, Frank, did.

So, he’s paying everybody. You agree to it because you trusted this lady shyster, Marino.

Well, because it was Laliberte. It was her suggestion to use Caverly

You still had custody of the boy, you were in the house, Frank was out, and Frank was paying, and he purchased his way back in?

Yes, absolutely.

So, what happened?

DCF had an open case because of what I reported. DCF wanted Leo to be in therapy. I wanted him to be in therapy, but my husband wouldn’t agree.

Mm-hmm.

So, I couldn’t bring him to therapy. DCF would come to visit us every week. This guy Simon would come. And he’d say, ‘Is there anything you’d like to report? Is there anything that he did?’ I said, ‘Yeah, well, this is what he did this week.’

Leo would tell me, ‘Daddy grabbed me right here. And I didn’t like it.’ You know, things like that. He started doing things to him that were — I guess maybe he was mad at Leo for disclosing what he was doing to him.

So, every time he visited with his father, Leo would tell me he didn’t want to go, and ‘Daddy hurts me.’ And so, I would report this to Simon, the DCF caseworker. Simon would say he needs to be in therapy. So, it escalated. There were so many reports that I made.

They said, ‘You know what, we’re going to take this child because dad is saying that mom is crazy. And if mom is crazy, why is dad letting Leo stay with her?’ So, then GAL Laliberte said, ‘Oh, you know what? I don’t want you to take my word. So, what we’re going to do is we’re just going to have a custody evaluation.’

When Laliberte said this, was she seemingly on your side?

No, she was furious that I was reporting Frank’s abuse.

The fact that you were reporting things.

That I was reporting what Leo said Frank was doing to him.

You were reporting to the DCF, Simon.

Yes.

And Simon was threatening to have the child removed altogether?

Simon’s supervisor, yes.

So, was Simon in contact with Laliberte?

Well, they barely knew each other. But Laliberte would call DCF and speak for the minor child since she’s the guardian. She’d say, ‘Oh, Simon, you’re a good guy. You know, we’re trying to get this stuff done. But you know, something is going on with mom and dad, and you know, the divorce, but I’m in it for the child, and I want to get him help. So, we’re going to get to the bottom of this, and we will get a custody evaluation. And Dr. Caverly, she knows what she’s looking for.’

Have you seen your custody evaluation report?

I have.

And was one of the ‘findings’ was that you’re alienating the child from his dad?

That was one of the allegations made against me.

And some kind of mental illness she diagnosed?

Yes, that I was delusional.

And what were your delusions?

Delusional about the behavior that my son was displaying.

Caverly said it was all a delusion. How many times did she meet with your son?

Once.

Alone or with you?

I was there, but then she pulled him out of the room to speak to him by herself.

How long did they speak?

It can’t be more than 30 minutes.

So, in 30 minutes, she figured out that it was all your doing and your son didn’t have a valid complaint.

Mmm-hmm.

She figured that out quickly, didn’t she?

Yes.

I don’t know that I could, or anybody could, make such a quick evaluation that there’s no child abuse going on in one 30-minute meeting. But Caverly is supreme. She knows all. Sees all. Understands all. And hers is the last word in any case where she’s retained.

When she finally testified in front of Judge Jane Grossman, she spoke as if she had just done the custody evaluation that day or that week. However, her custody evaluation was over two years old when she testified.

The last time she saw Leo was two years earlier?


Yes. But Caverly testified as if she had just written the custody evaluation report.

Who was your lawyer then? Was it Marino?

No, by this time, it was Shawna Hamilton Doster.

Let’s go back to Marino. She helped get your child removed from your life by getting that hound dog of a guardian ad litem, Laliberte, who could smell abuse. And then Laliberte arranged for you to have a custody evaluation done by Dr. Jessica Biren-Caverly, Dr. Know-All.  Papa paid for it all. So, they knew papa was paying for it. And then there was a custody evaluation report that said you were alienating the children and you were delusional, so the recommendation of Dr. Caverly was what?

For Frank to have sole custody and I was to have only supervised visitation and some sort of reunification therapy.

So, she recommended a complete flip. Take the boy away from you.

Completely.

And give him to Frank.

Yes.

What about the house?

I had to leave the house because he would be with the child, and they didn’t want to disrupt his life. So, in two weeks, I had to go. [January 3, 2020 court-ordered ‘agreement’ from ex-parte status conference.]

So, they didn’t want to disrupt the child’s life, so they kicked the mother out of the house where the child was living and substituted the father so as not to disrupt him because the house would be the primary attachment, not the mother. Was your child upset by losing his mother?

Oh absolutely. Leo couldn’t understand why mommy dropped him off at school that morning. And I didn’t pick him back up. You know, for a long time, he would tell me, ‘Mommy, you forgot. You forgot to pick me up. Why did you forget to pick me up?’ And how do you explain that to your son?

[Request by GAL Laliberte for ex-parte status conference after receiving custody evaluation from Biren-Caverly].

Why don’t you say jackals stole him? Hyenas and jackals came into your life, and they stole this child.

Absolutely.

Thieves.

You know I was so wrong. My husband did a lot of things. He cheated. He did a lot of things that were emotionally abusive toward me. And the only reason why I left him was Leo told me what his father was doing to him.

And everything went full circle. And I realized what happened to Isabella [his daughter from a previous marriage]. And now he was doing it to Leo. So, I started to put it all together. And this was the only reason I filed for divorce, to protect my son, not thinking that the court system would deliver him to the abuser. But, I mean, even now that’s happening. I mean, why would anybody think that it would be right for a little boy not to see his mother, not even a visit? Why would that be okay?

How much is Frank paying now? Is he still paying everybody?

Yeah.

Is he paying you anything?

No. He owes a tremendous amount of back support from Judge Jane Grossman, all the court-ordered agreements and bills he was supposed to pay, and rent and things like that. But no, nothing has been paid. In the interim order that Judge Grossman just completed, she said that he didn’t have to pay anything that she previously ordered him to pay to me.

Why?

I don’t know.

So, he pays you nothing. He walked away with everything. You got kicked out. To protect your child, you went to Connecticut Family Court. You lost your child; the child lost his mother. When was the last time you and Leo were alone together?

In 2021, Frank felt okay for me to have unsupervised visits until I reported him for neglect of our son’s teeth. Frank’s a dentist, and our son had rotten teeth.

You could see the boy from time to time.

He let me see him twice a week for like 10 hours a week.

Then you noticed the dentist Tiberi allowed his son’s teeth to rot?

Absolutely.

These were baby teeth?

Yes, he complained about his mouth hurting, and when I’d bring up the issue with Frank, he’d say no, they’re fine. So, one day, it happened to be my visitation and my son’s birthday, March 31st, 2021. He couldn’t eat his birthday cake.

Why?

His mouth was hurting, so I brought him to the dentist.

And what did the dentist say?

The pediatric dentist said that he has rotten molars and rotting teeth that need to be extracted.

Do you have a report of that?

I do.

[pediatric dental report

But you reported this to who?

I reported it to Laliberte, and I also filed a motion in court, and it was heard in front of Grossman. And Grossman said that you know what, since dad is a professional, he’s a dentist, and he said that there’s nothing wrong, well, we’re just going to trust what he says. And he’s going to decide what’s going to happen to the child’s teeth.

Who was paying your lawyers then?

I had Shawna Hamilton Doster, and she was not being paid.

I see, so she left. She split.

She split. She split during the trial.

Right in the middle of trial?

Right in the middle of trial.

Is that because she wasn’t paid?

Because I told her, ‘Hey, you know, I see what you guys are doing. You guys are gaming me; you guys are conspiring. I see what you’re doing with Laliberte, with Knopf.’ You know, they tried to defeat the court order for my spousal support, by passing around a check in front of me.

By passing a check, what kind of a check?

Lisa Knopf was cross-examining me, and she said something about, ‘Oh, and you’ve been refusing to accept Frank’s checks’. I said, ‘ Why would I refuse them? I need them.’ I was like, ‘I’d be happy to receive a check from Frank. It’s court-ordered.’

What happened?

Knopf says, ‘ Oh, I’m glad you said that,’ and she hands a check over to my attorney, Hamilton Doster, while I’m sitting on the witness stand. And later, I learned the check from Frank was made out to my attorney for $25,000.

Who pocketed that?

After a tremendous amount of emails to attorney Hamilton Doster, she finally gave the money to me. I don’t believe they had any intention for that money to go to me.

Is that when she quit? Did you offer to use some of the $25,000 to pay her?

No. No, I did not.

Why?

But Judge Grossman made that recommendation.

Grossman recommended you use the $25,000 to pay Doster, but you didn’t do it, and then you got punished.

I got punished because I asked why Lisa Knopf was sending a check to my attorney, Hamilton Doster, when the court order says explicitly to deposit the money into my account? The $25,000 was for back payments of what Frank owed. It was supposed to be deposited in my account.

Let me see if I have this straight. You were right in the middle of the trial. That was $25,000, which was money your husband owed you, and Knopf, your husband’s attorney, arranged to have that check paid to your lawyer instead of you. And then there was some anger. The judge told you if you want to be a good little girl, you make sure that your lawyer gets that $25,000 and not you. You refused. And then what happened?

And Shawna Hamilton Doster withdrew from my case.

Did you agree to have her withdrawn?

Yeah, because at that point, I knew. Doster was supposed to file all kinds of motions for me. She wasn’t advocating for me.

What about the argument someone could make by saying, ‘Well, you didn’t even pay your lawyer. Why should she not withdraw?’

She was pro bono. She knew she wasn’t getting paid when I met her through an advocacy program.

Oh, she stepped in pro bono.

Oh, absolutely. She’s stepped in pro bono. She knew.

Then when a $25,000 check was floating about, she stopped being Bono. She just became Pro.

Mmm-hmm.

There was a fateful day when you had to drop your kid off, your child who you had raised and been with every day of your life. Frank Tiberi was never a stay-at-home papa, right? You were the one that took care of the child.

Yes.

And then one day you had to leave the house. Was the house in your name also, or just in his?

Joriz and her son Leo at their Fairfield County home.

Just his.

So, you had to leave the house and leave your child at school, and then daddy would pick the child up, and you were not to see the child again, right?

Yes.

What day was that?

January 3, 2020.

[Court-ordered ‘agreement’].

So, January 3rd, 2020. That’s more than two years ago. So, your child was but five years old?

Yes.

And does he still remember you?

Of course. Yes, he does. But he hesitates. When I have seen him recently, you know, I showed up for [a] soccer game he was playing. He hesitates to run to me. He looks over at his father first.

He’s been alienated?

Yes.

Do you talk to him on the phone? Are you allowed any contact with him at all?

No. My husband recently filed a restraining order against me [March 30, 2022 Order of Protection]

He claims he is in fear that I will harm him and that he’s in fear that I will harm our son as well.

What is he worried that you might do? Do you have any record of violence?

No.

Have you ever been arrested for violence? Attacking somebody?

No.

Kidnapping, shooting anyone?

No.

Does he have any violent tendencies?

I believe so.

But he never struck you? Did he?

No.

I see. Is Frank a tiny, slightly built person?

No, he’s a huge guy. He’s about 230 pounds.

How tall is he approximately?

Like maybe 5′ 11″.

And he’s muscular?

Yes.

He takes steroids. How tall are you?

I’m five-two, about 115-120 pounds.

I see. So, Frank’s not worried that you’re going to attack him physically, is he?

Well, that’s what he claims that he is in fear that I will harm him.

I see, all right. So, according to the order, Judge Grossman did not want you to come within 100 yards of your son, and she said that you’re delusional. I guess that Judge Grossman herself can diagnose people’s mental conditions.

Yes.

Is she a psychiatrist as well as a judge? I saw something I had never seen before, and it was an astonishing thing. Judge Grossman said that your husband was capable of diagnosing you. He knew when you were delusional and when you were not. And so, he could therefore decide when you could talk to your child on the phone, I believe. Do I have this correct?

Yes.

Your husband’s a dentist. Is he also a psychiatrist?

No.

How would Dr. Grossman, we’ll call her Dr. Grossman, know that Dr. Tiberi could diagnose you from a distance? What was that about?

I don’t know. Other than my husband’s wallet, I don’t know.

Other than the wallet. But we buy a psychiatrist’s degree with the wallet. Judge Grossman, is she nice or hostile?

Oh, she is not nice to me. She is hostile.

What’s she like on the bench? Is she calm or angry?

She chastised me a couple of times to answer Lisa Knopf directly as she was asking me something that had nothing to do with my dissolution.

Give me an example.

An example would be what support groups I belong to? What we talk about in the support groups? What day do I get on my support groups? Was I just there on Monday? Okay, what was the topic, and what did I share? And I looked up at Judge Grossman, and I said, ‘What does this have to do with my divorce?’

And, of course, attorney Shawna Hamilton Doster was letting them. She wasn’t objecting because, at this point, she was at the mercy of the court. She’s either going to join them, or be eaten alive in court the next time she shows up with somebody else. So, she sold me out.

How old is this Doster woman?

She’s in her 50s.

Has she been in the family court racket for a while?

No. She wants to be. She’s dying to be accepted. Shawna Hamilton Doster is barely an accomplished lawyer. At one time, I was her paralegal for my case. So I saw communication between Knopf, Laliberte, and her and I also saw other cases and how she communicated with them.

She was trying to get in with the Rat Pack.

At that time, she was still trying to be a good lawyer. Until her back was pushed against the wall, and they scared the shit out of her. They told her she would be disbarred.

Who told her that?

Knopf and Laliberte because attorney Hamilton Doster drafted a complaint against Jessica Biren-Caverly. We were going to file a complaint against Dr. Jessica Biren-Calverly. And Hamilton Doster mailed Biren-Caverly’s attorney advising him.

So, my intended complaint against Biren-Caverly was brought up at my trial, and Biren-Caverly’s attorney, Charles Gura, showed up.

So, Charles Gura showed up at your trial.

Yeah. And Gura made an appearance saying, ‘Oh, I want to project my client. I know there was a threat that a complaint was to be filed against Dr. Biren Caverly.’ And so, Shawna broke up into pieces crying to this attorney, saying, ‘Oh no…no.’

Crying with tears rolling down her eyes? In court?

Mascara all over her eyes.

In court, in front of everyone?

Yes.

And when she was crying, what did she say?

Well, she spoke to him on the side. She was nervous, so she talked to him on the side.

Did she withdraw the complaint?

She told me that she wouldn’t represent me with this complaint.

I see what happened. You got into the middle. Shawna was trying to get in with the Rat Pack. And you had asked her to file a complaint against Dr. Jessica Calverly, one of their sacred cows.

And Laliberte, Calverly, Grossman, and little Doster were aligned. Everyone was pissed at you, including Knopf, who was handling the money. So, when Knopf tried to get a check for $25,000 paid to Doster to show her that if she was a good girl, she could get in with the gravy, at that point, you objected. So, you were entitled to the $25,000?

 

$25,000 for Joriz Tiberi, but written out to Attorney Hamilton Doster

 

Yeah.

Doster was supposed to be your pro bono attorney. And then everything fell apart, and you’ve been punished successively harsher and harsher, and now you can’t even be 100 yards away from your child. Is that right?

Yep. I believe it’s 100 yards, and now I could be arrested.

If you go near anywhere around him?

Yes. Around Leo or Frank.

Timid Frank?

Yes.

Scaredy, Frank?

Yes.

What is the basis of your being mentally ill?

Either I have to be delusional, or the molesting is real.

I see.

They’re claiming I’m coaching my son. So, there’s got to be something wrong with me, or this abuse is happening.

It was a choice between the abuse is happening, and the guy paying for the whole caboodle would then be unwilling to pay, or it’s not happening, and you’re insane, and the payments continue.

If I were insane, I wouldn’t be a preschool teacher.

Wait a second. Wait a minute. Now, Joriz. According to the people that your husband pays, you can’t see your child because you’re dangerously insane. But did you just say that you’re a preschool teacher?

Yes.

Are you with children?

Yes. Twenty children all day.

And any of them? Has anybody raised any complaints about your delusions?

Absolutely not. You know, my employer is one of my biggest supporters.

So, you can take care of 20 children of your son’s age.

Yes.

But you’re not permitted to be with your son because you’re delusional. Didn’t Jane Grossman, the psychiatrist, Judge Jane, the psychiatrist. Didn’t she say that you’re okay with other people’s children, you only have a delusion about your child?

Mmm-hmm.

I wonder if that’s unique in the annals of psychiatry. A person who just gets delusional about her kid but can fondly take care of others’ children.

Their mind was made up. It didn’t matter that I saw another psychologist after Biren-Caverly.

Wait a second. You got a second opinion?

[Evaluation from Dr. Beth Karassik of Comprehensive Neuropsychological Services].

Yeah, for myself. Janis Laliberte was so upset about that.

Why?

Because Dr. Karassik was more qualified than Dr. Biren-Caverly.

Did Dr. Karassik, [did] she confirm your insanity?

No, she said she saw no psychopathology that would be interfering with me being a parent to Leo. She thinks that it would be beneficial for Leo for me to be in his life. So, she wrote up a letter for me to give to Janis Laliberte, but-

And Janis welcomed it.

No, absolutely not.

What did she say when she got it?

Nothing. This is what they do. They say nothing. They ignore me as if I don’t exist. To this day, I send emails asking questions, and they say nothing.

Laliberti took the Fifth. So, where it stands now is that your ex-heroin, potentially child molesting, but affluent dentist husband has complete custody of the child. He lives with the child. You’re not allowed to see the child based on the opinion of Dr. Jessica Biren-Caverly, that you’re delusional. And conversely, a psychologist who evaluated you said you’re not delusional. And when you were unable to pay or unwilling to pay your lawyer, she dropped out.

What about Marino? How did she drop out? How did she happen to drop out of the case? Was it a monetary thing or not?

No, I fired her. I told her ‘You’re not advocating for me. You sold my son from under my feet.’

How did she sell your son? Was there an actual bill of sale?

On January 3rd, when she advised me to sign an agreement for Frank to have temporary custody, there was also written into that agreement that Frank would pay her a retainer of $15,000.

Who paid that?

Frank.

So that’s how they purchased your child. They bought the child from your attorney for only $15,000. What was the technicality that got $15,000 into Marino’s paws?

I was sitting in the hallway the entire time. I wasn’t involved in any of this. And I didn’t even know what was going on while Frank’s attorney and my attorney were in the conference room pow-wowing.

Okay, but how did Marino get fifteen thousand dollars? What did they tell you was the reason your attorney Debra Marino got $15,000 from the opposing party, Frank Tiberi?

Nothing. The reason was that Marino needed to replenish her retainer.

Oh, and so Frank was required to pay for it. Was this the day your son was removed from your custody?

Yes.

Marino got her $15,000 bonus for good legal services. You lost the child.

Yes.

On the day that custody of Leo was transferred to Frank, he was generous enough to tender Marino a $15,000 check to replenish her account.

Yes. I would have to move out of the house in two weeks. I’d lose custody of our son. I have to have supervised visitation for 10 hours a week.

And your attorney, Marino, got $15,000.

Marino got $15,000.

Do you want to know something? She works cheaply. That’s a low price to sell a kid. But we’re dealing with some pretty lowly creatures here, aren’t we?

I agree.

My goodness, what a story. A real story for the record. Your mistake was you were fighting for your kid. You’re protecting your child. And the result was the jackals surrounded, and they tore you apart and your son too.

And they continue to.

They’ll continue until they’re in jail for racketeering.

That’s right.

This is a typical story. Family court actors work in their best interest.

Lawyers for both sides in collusion and with the guardian ad litem. The guardian schemes with a custody evaluator such as Jessica Biren Caverly. She, in turn, will make a highly subjective custody report that custody should go to whoever it must to ensure that the attorneys and GAL will make the most money.

This usually requires a finding of parental alienation and that the parent who is to lose custody is insane or delusional.

No second opinions are permitted by the GAL, for, after all, she is only serving the child’s best interest.

Most judges quietly go along with whatever recommendations the GAL and custody evaluator say. Some judges, like Grossman, will fight tooth and nail for the best interest of the attorneys.

Arranging to hand custody of children to a parent based on a collusive agreement between the actors to bill the most money is a racketeering enterprise.

Like the man in The Godfather said, “This is the business that we have chosen.”

And the business they’ve chosen is to sell kids.

What does a guardian ad litem do in a simple administrative ‘no-fault’ divorce? How can a clown like Kevin Finch run up a $50k bill for doing nothing? How does Kevin Finch ethically bill 140 hours of professional services consisting entirely of phone calls and reviewing pleadings of others? What is the magical, necessity of illusory representation of ‘best interests’ that consumes so much time and money? Why is this fictitious form of legal representation, absent a real client, worth $350/hr? Another jewdicial scam on the goy?

Ever notice that poor folks don’t get GALs. Or if they do, the State only pays a flat fee of $500/kid? Why the difference? In the land of the free and the home of the brave, where equal protection grips the states under the Fourteenth Amendment, where is the differentiation in the cost of GALs? In statute? No! In case law? No! In public policy? No! The difference is in the jewish standard of thievery. The more money the parents have, the more expensive the GAL. The same nefarious services of phone calls/status conferences/reviews has a jewish escalation clause in the pricing. The Connecticut GAL is a jewish hustle to bleed goy families for the benefit of judges and their Bar pets. Ask Alexander Cuda.

Maria McKeon, Esq.
March 17, 2022
One of the reasons that divorce in Connecticut is so fucked up is the idiot lawyers who prey on family savings to pay for lifestyles they cannot afford.

Blog aficionados are aware that every divorce is ninety minutes worth of work, which most is typing. No one cares why someone wants out of a marriage. The state does not give a shit about kids. The morons who work at the family court don’t care about anything other than lunch, quitting time, and days to retirement. The fuck barrel of a Connecticut divorce is traced directly to the family section of the Bar Association, a cesspool of bottom of the barrel lawyers who can’t get a job doing real estate closings, pathetic unemployable people.

Most family court lawyers work under their own shingle or maybe share an office with another lowlife to save on rent. Some are so fucked up they throw up a website and work out of their house because they lack enough clients to have a professional office.

Like what to do in the office other than fuck the secretary or the clients themselves. A little scrutiny of the pretenders at law goes a long way to explain the fucked up family court system run by[redacted] in the black robe.

Meet Attorney Maria F. McKeon, a total piece of shit attorney who can’t spell L-A-W. She is the head of the McKeon Law Group, LLC. This ‘group’ consists solely of Maria with offices in Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield, New London, Middletown, Tolland, and Windham.

In reality, Maria has no office locations, just works out of her kitchen at 117 Senate Brook Drive in Amston.

A washed up lawyer who studied tax, securities, annuities, worked stints at Aetna, Hartford, Travelers, Prudential, now preys on parents caught up in divorce matters, fleecing family savings providing no professional service and quitting after running up excessive billing without delivering a divorce.

McKeon is a scam artist. Blog calls this hit and run. Take on a client, fan the flames of litigation, drag things out, make a mess, get some cash, then quit, leaving a claim for the rest of the excessive billing whenever the case finally ends.

By the numbers McKeon took on a mom in a simple no-fault divorce, ran up a bill of $145k over one year, sucking $85k in cash out of mom, beating her up for another $60k then quitting for not being paid, leaving mom in the middle of a McKeon shit storm.

Now ten months after she quit, mom is dragged thru the Bar Association’s own fleecing arbitration, demanding the remaining $60k.

After McKeon quit on this mom, it took 77 docket entries over ten months to finish up the mess created by tag team of McKeon and Lisa Knopf, 152 entries of protracted litigation brought about by [redacted] lawyers and [redacted] judges playing parents [redacted]. Talk about shit show managed by [redacted] Judge Jane Grossman and her [redacted] sidekick Judge Elizabeth Stewart. Isn’t that special, all that money, plus daddy’s fees on [redacted] lawyer Lisa Knopf, plus ridiculous fees on GAL Kevin Finch and a chunk of change for the [redacted] opinion of Dr. Jessica Caverly PhD and another family falls to the [redatced] agenda for [redacted] kids.

The Connecticut divorce machine took more money out of this family in two years of litigation than what the kids will need for college. Can u say [redacted] scam … knew u could. Just thank the [redacted] in the black robe who runs the Branch.

WHAT IS MALICIOUS PARENT SYNDROME?
WHAT IS MALICIOUS PARENT SYNDROME?
1 year ago

Malicious parent syndrome” is when one parent seeks to punish the other parent by talking poorly about them and/or doing things to place the parent in a bad light, particularly in the eyes of their children. Another common term for this behavior is “parental alienation syndrome.” Learn more below from our Chicago family law attorney, Jonathan Merel.

Malicious Parent Syndrome in Divorce Cases

It’s common knowledge how difficult and stressful the divorce process can be for all parties. It can especially be so for parents who are worried about how the experience will affect their relationship with their children. Many individuals going through a divorce show negative or destructive emotions against their spouses such as resentment, anger, rage, antagonism, and a desire to “get even” for the wrongs they feel they have endured.

These emotions can lead to destructive behavior involving the use of their children in a legal war against their spouse regarding custody and divorce. When this behavior extends to actions designed to harm the other spouse’s relationship with the children or to harm their standing in the community, it is referred to a “malicious parent syndrome.”

Malicious Parent Syndrome Behavior

Malicious parent syndrome is not a mental disorder that is recognized as an actual psychiatric condition by professionals. Instead, it is a label that came about from a psychologist who wished to describe a certain destructive pattern of behavior on the part of one parent towards the other during divorce proceedings. The behavior involved the parent behaving in a purposeful way that was vengeful toward the other parent, often extending to even breaking the law to further the goal of destroying the parent-child relationship and/or punishing of the other parent.

The types of behavior that a malicious parent may engage in can include:

Denying regular or uninterrupted visitation on the part of the other parent
Denying phone access between the child and the other parent
Denying the other parent access or participation in the child’s school or extra-curricular events
Lying to the child about the other parent which involve accusations designed to sway the child against the other parent
Lying to other people about the other parent to denigrate his or her reputation or perception by them
Actually violating the law, such as refusing to obey a custody court order ..
Engaging in endless litigation to punish the other parent
In the most extreme cases, causing some kind of actual harm or deprivation to a child for which the other parent will be blamed
In other extreme cases, engaging in actions to damage the other parent’s property or causing him or her some type of physical harm sick psychopath..

Hate Speech is not Free Speech

Recently I came across a blog called http://www.thefamilycourtcircus.com that is purported to help “victims” of the CT family court system have a voice. My hope in talking about this blog is not to make it popular but to make people aware that this exists. I was shocked reading it. It is a racist, antisemetic, homophobic and at times violent blog that hides under the cowardly code of anonymity. These are not activists that write this blog, these are essentially terrorists using words instead of weapons.

I do believe there are people whose side is not heard in family court but this is not the way to handle it. You cannot condemn the entire system when it doesn’t work in your favor. Change comes from voting, changing laws, research and not giving up. I wonder how valid your arguments are if you have to reduce yourself to antisemitism and racist words. You lose your audience when you need inflammatory words to just get your point across.

It is time that we prosecute the owner of this blog that posts hateful speech, names innocent people (lawyers and judges doing their job and most importantly the minor children involved), put links to private family information (including bills that show home addresses and minor children’s psychological evaluation details) Anyone who participates and gives these details to this blog are just as guilty. It is feeding a hate machine. And completely one sided, if the facts do not fit their agenda, they merely leave them out.

There is no place for this in society. This should not be considered a First Amendment issue when race, religion, sexual orientation and violence are all being used in this hateful blog. We must not stay silent, this normalizes this thinking. Another effect: lawyers will not want to take cases and have their careers upended by a lone madman in the woods of Virginia .. Why hide if you feel so strongly? Maybe because this type of hate speech is illegal and not protected under the First Amendment

Janis laliberte Esq. is the one that smooths thing out with DCF case worker to make them believe mom is crazy and delusional about sexual abuse.

Lisa Kerin lcsw was also supervisor and helps to create more drama. This network of bottom feeders all work together to protect the pedophile for 1 billable hour at a time. I was coerced into signing a settlement agreement threatening I would never see my daughters again. I’m 4 yrs post divorce and I’m yet to receive the reunification therapy on the court order.

Thank you Mr. Parlato for reporting the corruption in the Connecticut Family Court. You’ve given me the strength to fight for what’s left of the innocence of my teenage daughter.

Pay the Bill…

[redacted] Connecticut run up excessive bills for mediocre legal representation in obtaining simple, administrative, no-fault divorces for their clients: they talk on the phone!!! [redacted]Attorney Maria McKeon runs the [redacted] McKeon Law Group, a group of one, with ‘vast in house legal experience’, sitting at her kitchen table, too pathetic to have an actual office for the Group. Running up a huge bill of over $150k, dragging out litigation, then quitting her client who could not afford to pay for McKeon’s putrid non-performance.

There is an expectation of professional services when contracting for legal representation for a simple no-fault divorce. The vultures of the Bar have a better game to play than simply executing statutory necessities; fleecing clients under the deception of professional legal services is an art form. A review of Attorney McKeon’s billings for a year of fraud reveals 233 line entries describing work performed, 131 of these entries were for ‘calls’. The scam of family court lawyers is to talk on the phone to everybody while fleecing the client for $300/hr. A closer examination of the descriptors reveals that professional legal services to obtain a divorce expands in scope to cover the radon in the basement, a kid who is not allowed to drive, squabbles over paying taxes, lengthy debates on picking psychologists, vacation planning, opinions of a GAL, talking on the phone about irrelevant matters once to opposing counsel, then with the therapist, then with the evaluator, then with the GAL, then again with opposing counsel, same discussion, billed four times on the phone … an awesome scam, almost looks legit. McKeon chats with GAL Finch for one hour it costs her client over $600; the phone is an ATM for free cash. A bit of an adder to all the ‘calling’ is that there are 20 entries for the work of a ‘paralegal’ the industry term for a retarded secretary shuffling files. Blog can’t make this shit up. See Maria McKeon’s invoices here.

Attorney McKeon is now represented by Kerry R. Callahan, Esq. of Updick Kelly Spellacy, a major Connecticut based law firm of 55 washed up lawyers camped out in five offices across the state. Needless to say not all of her fraudulent bills have been paid by the unsatisfied client. Callahan is a huckster, making a ridiculous argument that McKeon is a real lawyer, running a real law group, with vast experience from her kitchen table, with boxed wine in the fridge to keep the demons at bay. Family court is a den of thieves, McKeon’s invoices tell how the game is played.

McKeon loves litigation, she represents herself in her own protracted post judgement slug fest against her ex William Lennon. The love birds were divorced in 2007 but can’t stop meeting each other in court to argue over something new. A warning goes out to parties in the following cases who are probably being swindled for phone calls, discussions, chats, boxed wine induced buffoonery masquerading as practice of law.

Attorney McKeon will stay on the phone as long as it takes to resolve basement radon issues, recovering Xbox passwords, arguing over grandparent visits, proper use of Facetime app, paying household bills, taxes, gossip with therapists, gossip with GAL, gossip with opposing counsel, critique therapy, dining at CheeseCake Factory; at $300/hr it is hard to put the phone down.

Consider this…why does it seem like only wealthy men are able to wrest custody from unstable moms? Because wealthy men have the resources to do it. When mom is fine, the vast majority of men are more than happy to share custody. When mom is off the rails it takes a whole lot of time, effort and money to prove that to a court. Sadly there are probably many kids stuck with abusive mothers (and fathers) because the other parent doesn’t have the resources or will to fight to protect the child from them.

Frank, the information which has come to light (i.e., regarding the mother accusing other people at daycare centers and coffee shops of ‘molesting’ her child) is NOT just a trivial detail which can be explained away by ‘stress’.

If those facts are really true (if she really made those false statements) then it’s GAME OVER for this particular article of yours.

You lost this one. Game. Set. Match.

Move on to a more credible mother.

Don’t humiliate yourself by trying to give credibility to this NUTTY story.

No, Frank… It’s absolutely NOT ‘understandable’ for a mother to claim that people at daycare centers or coffee shops are molesting her child, regardless of how stressed she is.

If she FALSELY claimed that strangers molested her child, that means her claims made against the father are absolutely false too. Basic common sense tells us that.

That’s NOT the behavior of a MENTALLY HEALTHY mother. Period.

You’re losing credibility by continuing to champion this particular woman’s case.

No SANE or FIT parent would ever make up such statements out of whole cloth, unless they were mentally unbalanced. Period.

Get away from this batshit woman. You can’t sprinkle pixie dust on this article and attempt to save it.

Don’t dig in your heels as part of a self-serving effort to avoid looking stupid for initially believing this woman.

Cut your losses, Frank. Stop using your emotions to respond. Just admit, to yourself, that she’s not entirely mentally healthy if she really did make those statements.

Guess what? There’s a LOT of stressed-out people (who lose custody of their kids) who don’t falsely accuse others of child molestation.

IT’S JUST NOT RATIONAL BEHAVIOR.

No media outlets will take you seriously if you defend this woman by trying to claim that her husband made her life so miserable that she had no choice but to hallucinate (or lie) about her kid being molested by strangers at coffee shops or daycare centers.

Stop defending the un-defendable.

You’d have a better chance trying to defend Putin’s insane actions (than trying to defend this woman’s batshit crazy statements).

Don’t let your ego force you into a position where you can’t admit that you made a mistake by giving credibility to this woman.

Just admit that you made an error in judgement. You’re human. It happens to everybody.

Just wanted to add..

Frank is claiming that the husband is the one who said those things about his wife (Frank’s claiming it’s just ‘hearsay’ and not believable; even though Frank is giving the mother’s own ‘hearsay’ 100% credibility, LOL).

Classic bias confirmation. Accept those words which you like to hear (and reject everything else).

*However, as another poster pointed out, it’s apparently ‘public record’ that the mother may have followed a person (from a ‘creamery’) and accused them of molesting her child.

I don’t know if that’s true or not. However, seeing that Frank hasn’t refuted this point, I’m guessing that he’s not able to refute it.

Also, that same poster pointed out that the mother already RECANTED allegations of molestation (to the psych hospital).

If that’s really true, then it’s on the official record (and it means she MADE IT UP).

Frank didn’t dispute that, which tells me he likely cannot refute it.

This is NOT just hearsay.

Oh… And what about the poster who claimed that the mother’s own family members have said they’ll testify against her?

Again, I don’t know if that’s true or not. …But since Frank isn’t refuting it, I’m gonna believe it’s probably true.

Is Frank gonna interview those family members to give us the OTHER side of the story? Probably not.

Why not? Because it’ll derail his NARRATIVE about the CT family court system.

I agree. Frank shouldn’t use this woman or Karen Ambrose as examples of judicial abuse. The orders awarding sole custody to the fathers in these two cases were the correct decisions and justified. Now you have two Betty Brodericks to destroy your credibility, Frank.

Amen. Frank has no scruples, hasn’t anybody else noticed this?

What is wrong with you people who support his scripts?

Where is the Mexican lady that loves him so much? Where did she go?

Stop! I think he’s getting desperate before he does time in the big house.

Tick tock, Frank
