Family court is supposed to be a place of order, of professionals doing what’s best for children. Family courts are designed to resolve custody and domestic disputes.
But sometimes it is a place where wolves wear neckties, a system devoid of juries, opaque in procedure, and imbalanced. Family court is not a neutral forum. It is a place where truth is secondary, due process elusive, and hope obliterated. With no jury to provide balance, and unchecked judicial discretion influenced by power dynamics, it can bring mental, emotional, and financial exhaustion.
It can bring being separated from your children without recourse. It can bring financial depletion.
You will witness:
Alienation from your child treated as ordinary.
Lack of legal representation against well-funded opposition. The ex had lawyers. They had none. They brought in receipts and worn shoes. They got called unstable. The ex got called reasonable.
Reputation destroyed by unverified accusations
Hypervigilance mistaken for paranoia.
SYMPTOMS OF FAMILY COURT TRAUMA

How do you describe the latter:
They went to court and lost everything. They looked tired. Not just tired. Empty. They couldn’t sleep. They had no money. They heard the word custody and froze. The kid was still alive. But gone.
They stopped believing in justice. They told people. People didn’t believe them. They stopped talking.
Then they started again. Not to save themselves. But to warn others.
You ask about their kid and they show you a photo, like it’s the last relic of a life that once was. They tell you words like ex parte, contempt, motion to strike.
They eat antacids Their hands shake when they reach for their phone. They trust no one. they try to tell the truth in a binder full of notes and timestamps.
Money dissolves. The child becomes a ghost, living somewhere else, taught to forget. And they fight. Not for revenge. For their child. For something the court forgot long ago: humanity.
They go in thinking the judge will see the truth. Instead, the judge sees paperwork and calls it a day. They haven’t seen their kid in months, but the kid is alive. Meanwhile, the lawyers bill by the hour.
THE SIGN ABOVE THE DOOR
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,” inscribed on the gates of Dante’s Inferno, was meant to mark the threshold of Hell. You don’t walk into family court expecting fairness. You walk in knowing the judge can silence you, disbelieve you, strip you of your child. No jury. No open hearing.
You speak. They ignore you. You show proof. They look away. You want to believe the court will protect your child, It protects itself. Leave hope at the door.
This is the place, not quite Hell but close enough, where families walk in with hope and walk out with fewer rights than they had going in. It is Family Court.
They walk in thinking a judge is like a teacher or a priest. They walk out realizing he is something colder.
The lawyers smile. The ex lies. The judge shrugs. The child waits, caught between people who love him and a system that never will.
There is no fire. No sulfurous clouds. Just benches, files, and a judge in black, but you will do the mourning. Dante placed the sign at the gates of Hell. Today, it hangs above the door of any family court in America. Parents enter not with sin, but with love. And they are punished.
THE PUNISHMENT OF THE PROTECTIVE PARENT
They are told to be quiet. Told they are liars. Told their children are better off elsewhere—often with the very person who made them beg for safety.
And when they leave, they are not the same.
Hell isn’t underground. It’s just down the hall from the DMV. Courtroom 3B. The sign doesn’t say “abandon all hope,” Instead, it says “Family Division”
If family court were a pill, it would be white, bitter, and coated in law. Administered in doses over years. Always with side effects.
Take two pills – or hearings – and you may no longer recognize yourself.
Take four and you may forget the sound of your child’s laugh.

family court – the cesspool of society parading around in skirts, suits and robes. scavengers for the almighty buck.
It’s not just broken. It’s profitable to be broken. And that’s why it won’t fix itself. These aren’t isolated incidents. This is a systemic pattern of cover-up, abuse, and profiteering on human lives and generational wealth.
This isn’t justice. It’s racketeering under a legal license.

It’s also never a good sign for children and families when despicable authors of books about “family courts” purposely or by negligence spin crimes committed against children and families.
So far, all the general public knows about the Dulos case is: the “family court” lawyers, “family court” guardians ad litem and “family court” evaluators did nothing wrong.😑

He could have said about the case:
He could have investigated the corruption in the case. He could have exposed the corruption in his book.
Why isn’t his exposure of corruption in Connecticut family courts in mainstream news outlet headlines?
He could have said:
Noting the lack of mainstream news headlines about corruption in Connecticut family courts, it seems his book probably totally ignores Jennifer’s May 1, 2019 motion to the court. If his book ignores that motion, Mr. Cohen ignores those who hide Jennifer’s last effort to stay alive.
After all his research, does Mr. Cohen know about Jennifer’s motion to the Court to investigate the evaluator and the guardian ad litem?
“to bring her to the center of her whole story, not to let her be defined by her death” would have showed the world the hero she was.
For anyone still wondering how and why criminals working in and for American “family courts” were allowed to ruin children for profit and perversion for the past 40 years:

DALE JAMES MORGADO :
APRIL 23, 2025
MOTION TO COMPEL DISCLOSURE OF EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES
NOW COMES the Respondent, DALE JAMES MORGADO, and respectfully moves this Honorable Court to order the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel to disclose the following in accordance with the principles of due process and the applicable Practice Book provisions governing attorney grievance proceedings:
1. All documents, records, and materials obtained or intended to be used by the Disciplinary Counsel in support of its case, including but not limited to:
o Written statements
o Emails or other electronic communications
o Internal reports
o Notes from witness interviews
2. A list of all witnesses whom the Disciplinary Counsel intends to call at any hearing in this matter, including:
o Names and contact information
o A brief summary of the testimony expected from each witness
3. Any exculpatory evidence or information that may support the Respondent’s defense, as required under due process principles and Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), where applicable.
WHEREFORE, the Respondent respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant this Motion to Compel Disclosure of Evidence and Witnesses and order the Disciplinary Counsel to provide the requested information within 7 days of this order.
Respectfully submitted,

APRIL 30, 2025
OBJECTION TO MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
The Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (“Disciplinary Counsel”) hereby objects to the Motion for Continuance (D.E. #138.00) filed by the Respondent and in support thereof represents as follows:
1. It should first be noted that this is the second motion for continuance filed by the Respondent’s counsel, Attorney Dennis Bradley, in which he represented to the court that counsel had not responded to his motion for continuance and requested continuance date. At no time prior to the filing of either motion for continuance did Attorney Bradley reach out to Disciplinary Counsel regarding a continuance. Disciplinary Counsel pointed out to Attorney Bradley his misrepresentation in his first motion for continuance, yet he made the misrepresentation again in his present motion.
2. The Respondent gives as a reason for his requested continuance that “[c]ounsel gave us a voluminous amount of witnesses and discovery as of today that require more time for us to prepare.” The proposed exhibits provided to counsel were hardly “voluminous”. They consisted of 6 exhibits with a total of 11 pages. Four of the exhibits are either text messages or emails of which the Respondent was a party, so they should be of no surprise.
3. The Respondent also gives as a reason for his requested continuance that he was travelling in Rome and unable to prepare. The Respondent was aware of the scheduled hearing date and should have planned accordingly.
4. Disciplinary Counsel therefore objects to the Motion for Continuance.However, should the court be inclined to grant the motion, Disciplinary Counsel respectfully requests that all parties and counsel be required to appear in person at a rescheduled hearing.
WHEREFORE, the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel hereby objects to the Motion for Continuance and respectfully requests that it be denied.

John Flynn for State Representative
August 1, 2018
Shared with Public
Congressman Jim Himes is pleasant.
When I reported to Congressman JIm Himes 4 times, the largest securities fraud case in Connecticut history, Himes said “talk amongst yourselves and get back to me in 6 months”. That was eight years ago. 300,000 felonies occurred since then. Fst cv 14 5014296 Jud.ct.gov. No arrests were made.
Malloy was a Defendant, and the Judge was appointed by Malloy. A clear Conflict of Interest. The Defendant appointed the Judge. We were denied a jury, denied all depositions, denied all evidence, all requests for production, all subpoenas, all admissions, and all expert witnesses.
When I reported to Himes that local Police were using confidential informants to commit violent acts, Himes said, “talk amongst yourselves and report back to me in six months”. Google Ct State vs Riddle. The same informant was involved in 3 different hits. The guy testified that he gets paid to hurt people. What about the rights of Deely and Lamb? Fst cv 10 5013544s and Fst cv 11 5013600-s. Google the FBI indictment of Cari, Zullo, Spaulding and Miller in Connecticut. These Police gave the informant immunity. Cari testified that he was trained to falsify Police reports. These things happen in Connecticut and the Court suppresses the evidence.
Read the case law. When Police approve crimes of Confidential Informants, it creates a victim. it a civil rights violation. Wake up.
So, “talk amongst yourselves”, give Jim a false sense of security, show up at the polls, register to vote, and VOTE HIM OUT.
Our Federal Representative follows the instructions of Chuck Schumer/Democratic agenda. Jim does not care what you think. Reportedly, he spit up his coffee when he heard of Brett Kavanaugh’s selection as Supreme Court Judge by the President. Google it. A Judge they don’t control. Call Himes and get one good reason why Kavanaugh should not be appointed. Leave a message.
The Judges appointed by Malloy have caused more damage than you could possibly calculate. I approve this message.

Post-separation legal abuse, when the monied abusive spouse hires a hit done by lawyers against protective parent and children.
You finally get up the courage to leave when it is clear the children’s safety is an issue, and discover you cannot. The ultimate force is custody used as a threat, by someone who didn’t give the kids the time of day before.
We could have been done with the divorce within weeks if truth played any part.
Instead, he kept it going for a decade. He was enjoying the new brutality of the disgusting people he could hire for court. People who have zero ethics.
Take the profit out of this. Hire accountants, not lawyers. Hire accountants, not psychologists. Examine the children’s previous lives and know the truth of who was raising those kids in reality.
In a no-fault divorce the idiocy of a dysfunctional relationship should have no impact, one way or another. If what really matters is the best interests of the children, it’s pretty simple to determine that: Once schooling starts there are witnesses everywhere. Ask them who helps with homework, who shows up at PT meetings, who the kids talk about. Not difficult. Has the parenting been a partnership all along, or the absentee parent now using custody as revenge, control, emotional battery?
My ex had never been faithful. Not ever, though I didn’t know that at first. But I divorced him because he was as cruel to the children as he had been to me. He concocted a story to work the ancient prejudices.
He puts a good show when it matters to him. Court treats a family as if the only reality is in that municiple building. That is just theater.
Truth has no standing in divorce court. There are no objective standards: money is hidden, violence is secret, the narrative is purchased.
The lawyers I encountered subborned perjury and perjured themselves. Matrimonial law is a scam perpetrated by the worst for the worst.
The worst lawyers take as much money as they can however they can take it from as many as possible. Sure, first they find out where the money is. Next, they talk amongst themselves — that’s right, the lawyers from “both sides” — and they come up with a plan to manipulate BOTH sides.
Make her mad. Make him madder. Make the children suffer.
There’s no set pattern in the worst lawyers’ cases.
It’s ALL deceit and manipulation to steal as much money as they can from wherever they find it.
The worst lawyers don’t care about who gets hurt. It’s a blood sport.

The family court system is not destroying families. These families have imploted before they hit the door step of the court house. The court system has spent the last several decades trying to implement programs that are not working. For the average family the process is difficult but not impossible. The two parents part ways, split assets fairly or based on most fair legal practices. Children are not divided in half like a bank account. The parents make a reasonable schedule that best meets the needs. Work schedules child activities and normal development into independence. Such as a child going between houses and functions. The cases which hit the frank report and other outlets are the small percentage of cases where one party in slim situation both parents are engaged in abusive behavior. It’s not high conflict . It self centered litigation. The children suffer. These children are not struggling due to a single parent households. They are suffering from emotional after effects of incarcerated patients, the loss of a parent and a deceased parent. They are suffering from the aftermath of an abusive parent or two dysfunctional parents. Perhaps if the court system stopped mislabeling and stop using hypothetical theory theories. Listen to the evidence we could move beyond the broken mess. The models being used to run the court house are not applicable to these cases. It’s not working. Splitting children in half for the parents sake while not produce a whole person in these conflicted cases.
The truth is the “family court” system destroys families:
good for communism and globalism and creepy George Bush’s “new world order”.
A DIGITAL MINDFULNESS-INFORMED PARENTING INTERVENTION FOR HIGH-RISK DIVORCED FAMILIES
Award Number: K01MH122502
ORGANIZATION: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTHOPDIV: NIHAWARD CLASS: DISCRETIONARYAWARD ACTIVITY TYPE: TRAINING/TRAINEESHIP
… A digital mindfulness-informed parenting intervention for high-risk divorced families – PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This K01 will provide the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Na Zhang, with training and research experiences that will support and prepare her to become an interdisciplinary independent researcher who optimizes and evaluates digital parenting interventions by leveraging mindfulness techniques to prevent parent and child mental health problems in high-risk families such as divorced families.
Divorce is highly prevalent … it confers significant risks of mental health problems to both children and parents. … The proposed research is aimed to meet the needs of distressed divorced parents to ensure that they can benefit from evidence-based practices, by adding mindfulness training (MT) to the electronic New Beginnings Program/eNBP. … The proposed research has three Aims: 1) To elucidate the perspectives of end users and stakeholders; 2) To design and refine digital mindfulness training modules and engagement strategies via user testing; and 3) To determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the MT+eNBP. Co-primary mentorship will be provided by Dr. Sharlene Wolchik (Arizona State University; clinical psychologist, expert in parenting interventions for high-risk families, and co-developer of the eNBP) and Dr. Kim Gans (University of Connecticut; expert in mixed method formative research for intervention development and in conducting RCTs). …
BREAKING NEWS FROM 2013:
PROGRAM HELPS PARENTS RECONSTRUCT THEIR FAMILY AFTER DIVORCE
By Paulina Pineda | January 10, 2013 | 5:17pm MST
Two ASU research professors have designed a program to help reconstruct divorced families. Irwin Sandler and Sharlene Wolchik, professors at the psychology department’s Prevention Research Center, received a $6.4 million grant from the National Institute of Health in 2011 to test their experimental New Beginnings Program as a community-based service. …
More false hope with funding attached to fix family court.
… Randomized Control Trial of the Co-Parenting for Resilience Program – Project Summary Parental divorce can negatively affect children in ways that are often severe and long lasting. Approximately 25% of the children of divorcing parents have major long-term mental and behavioral health problems compared to approximately only 10% of children in the general population. Even among those who ultimately adjust well, many will experience considerable emotional distress which can lead to maladaptive coping and negative outcomes such as antisocial behavior, depression, school dropout, substance use and precocious sexual activity. In response to the effects of divorce on children, brief prevention interventions focused on teaching parents how to ameliorate the impact of divorce on their children have gained widespread acceptance by court systems across the nation, and online versions of the same have proliferated during COVID-19. However, recent systematic and metanalytic reviews reporting on the efficacy of divorce education programs, while showing promising results, generally lack the methodological rigor to form the strong empirical foundation needed to advance the field in both theory and practice. To address these weaknesses, the current project tests Co-Parenting for Resilience (CPR), a divorce education program that draws on theories from the field of Marriage and Family Therapy and Prevention Science to incorporate empirically-supported therapeutic strategies into a 4-hour psychoeducational workshop. Building upon our previously successful trial using a non- equivalent control group, the proposed study uses a 3-arm (CPR in-person, CPR online, and bibliotherapy attention placebo control) randomized controlled trial with an intent to treat design. The study collects a sample of 300 parents who have recently filed for divorce to accomplish the following three aims: 1) Determine the relative efficacy of the online and in-person versions of CPR to improve child post-divorce adjustment compared to each other and to a bibliotherapy control group at 3- and 12-month follow-ups; 2) Test paths from the online and in-person versions of CPR to child adjustment via parenting competencies; and 3) Identify moderators of the effectiveness of in-person and online formats of CPR such as parent gender, ethnicity, and level and type of conflict between divorcing partners. If accomplished, these aims will provide insight into whether: (a) remitting couples to a divorce education class is more effective than simply reading a book on divorce, (b) in-person or online delivery formats are more beneficial in helping parents overcome the parenting challenges of divorce, and (c) there are subgroups for whom divorce education is more or less effective. …

Correction about 25 percent of the children having difficulty after divorce because of an abusive parent. Lets call it what it is. Fluffy studies for funding. When we start identifying the real problem we begin to address the problem. Stop waisting the taxpayers dollars with mislabeling the heart of the matter.
“… The family court has been a central actor in the history of state intervention in family life, driven by the belief that it could solve family problems, that it could do good. The consequence is that by trying to do good, it fails to do justice and often does great harm. The procedures and policies of modern family court reflect some of this country’s worst afflictions—including racism and a deep mistrust and disdain of lives lived in poverty. The time has come to stop trying to fix or reinvent the court; the time has come to take the steps necessary to abolish it. …”

Divorce Is a Payday. Love Was Just the Setup
They said marriage was about forever.
They said, “For better, for worse.”
2025 modern women flipped the script:
For better, I’ll stay.
For worse, I’ll leave.
And take the house, the kids, the car, and half your future.
Let’s stop pretending.
Marriage is an extortion scheme.
And divorce is the exit clause that bankrupts men.
⸻
1. Marriage Made Sense—Because It Was Supposed to Be Permanent
Marriage used to be an investment.
Two people built together.
Sacrificed together.
Weathered storms—for the sake of legacy.
But today?
There’s no timeline. No loyalty. No loss for betrayal.
She can wake up, say “I’m not happy,” and file for divorce with legal backing from the state to do her dirty work and still walk away with 50% of what she didn’t build and custody of the children.
You stayed. She switched up.
You lost. She leveled up.
⸻
2. Divorce Replaced “Duty” with “Exit Strategy”
You entered the marriage thinking forever.
She entered with a backup plan.
First argument? She’s in a group chat talking about “emotional neglect.”
One bad financial year? She’s listening to podcasts about “walking in your truth.”
Lose your job? She’s already screenshotting your bank app.
Divorce isn’t a failure anymore.
It’s a strategy.
It’s a flex.
It’s an escape plan disguised as empowerment.
⸻
3. She Didn’t Lose You—She Profited From You
Let’s talk numbers:
You lose the house.
You lose the kids.
You lose your sanity.
You still pay.
Meanwhile, she’s on Instagram with captions like “healing,” “freedom,” and “choosing myself” while some simp is trying to parent your kids.
She didn’t break up with you.
She cashed out.
Love was the bait.
Divorce was the business model.
⸻
4. Hypergamy Ensures She Marries Up—So You Fall Down
Biology doesn’t care about fairness.
Women marry up.
That means in most marriages, the man is the primary breadwinner.
So when it ends? Guess who gets bled?
You do.
Even if she cheated.
Even if she lied.
Even if she weaponized the kids against you.
Courts don’t care. They profit from the chaos in billable hours.
They’ll garnish your wages for 18 years—
even if the child isn’t yours.
France banned DNA testing without permission.
Why?
Because too many tests come back negative.
Paternity fraud is real—
1/3 kids dont belong to the dna named father
and you still pay for the lie.
⸻
5. Modern Women Prepare for Divorce on Day One
You’re dreaming of legacy.
She’s already planning her “new era.”
Prenups? Offensive.
Financial boundaries? “Toxic.”
Leadership? “Controlling.”
Meanwhile, her phone is full of receipts, old chats, screenshots, and legal advice videos.
She’s not in it for the long haul.
She’s in it for long-term leverage.
You thought she was building with you.
She was building a case against you.
⸻
6. Divorce Court Doesn’t Deliver Justice—It Delivers Her a Package
You walk in hoping for fairness.
You walk out with visitation rights and monthly payment plans.
She cheats? You pay.
She lies? You lose custody.
She withholds your child? You’re still liable.
Because in court?
The man is presumed guilty.
The woman is awarded.
It’s not about the truth.
It’s about the narrative.
And men don’t own the narrative anymore.
⸻
7. The System Isn’t Broken—It Was Designed Like This
Divorce isn’t just emotional.
It’s industrial.
There’s money in your misery:

https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t33/1/16/2705.png Baby mama blogs
You’re not a client.
You’re the cash cow.
They want you married fast—
so they can profit off your divorce slow.
⸻
8. The Kids Are Not Just Children—They’re Collateral
Here’s the part no one wants to say:
The child isn’t just a child anymore.
They’re the cash flow.
She wins custody?
She wins funding for her and the state.
It’s not about the child’s development.
It’s about who gets the monthly deposit.
No work required.
No business built.
Just sign the papers—and enjoy 18 years of stability off a man she no longer loves.
Some even multiply it.
One kid per man = three income streams = full lifestyle funded.
It’s not motherhood anymore.
It’s monetization.
⸻
Final Word: If Marriage Is the Deal—Divorce Is the Robbery
You thought she loved you.
She loved the lifestyle.
She loved the potential payout.
She loved the idea of freedom—with benefits.
You didn’t lose a wife.
You got played by a professional con artist.
So next time someone says, “Just find a good woman,”
ask them this:
Does she love me?
Or does she just love the terms of my downfall?
Because in today’s world?
Divorce is a payday.
And love… was just the setup.
—
Let the system defenders explain why a man who loses his house still pays the mortgage.
Accept “Never Again” and walk away wiser knowing why marriage and child birth is at an all time low.
… They essentially blur boundaries between good and evil, between sexuality and love, and family. Whatever can be mixed and intermingled, they do it. Their ceremonies included cross-gender dressing, like transvestites, extremely promiscuous sexuality involving men with children, men with women, and even within family units. …

In one Connecticut case, “Judge” Conway refused to consider Joyanna Silberg’s protocol. During “Dr” Logan Green’s testimony in that case, he told “Judge” Conway he invented his very own diagnostic category and uses his own invented diagnostic category to diagnose and treat patients.
Has anyone from any state or federal office asked “Dr” Green about his inventions and practices yet? Probably not. Connecticut’s judicial branch doesn’t practice science, medicine or law.
Connecticut’s family and juvenile courts practice quackery and deliberate racketeering to destroy families. The new HHS can help if those coming to the rescue aren’t killed like JFK and RFK were killed.
In America, parents are warned about car seats, cribs and baby food. Why won’t corporate news reporters tell us about dangerous “family court” judges, attorneys and evaluators?
The Hartford Courant and News12 reporters know the “family court” evaluation in the Dulos case was bogus. Mr. Herman’s bogus evaluation didn’t make the headline news. Why not?
Why do mainstream news outlets in Connecticut ignore the most important facts in the Dulos case?
The Stamford Advocate reported:
The Stamford Advocate also told the public the judge “tossed” Mr. Herman’s report. Why didn’t reporters tell us why that report was tossed? Why didn’t mainstream news reporters tell us how dangerous bogus “family court” reports are?
If Michele Troconis actually believed the “family court” evaluator’s report, has her family considered that she’s just another scapegoat used to hide Connecticut “family court” corruption?
Has Darnell Crosland considered that? How much does Mr. Crosland know about the corruption in Connecticut’s judicial branch?
Keith Harmon Snow, Bruce Matzkin, Representatives Minnie Gonzalez and Ed Vargas, Nicola Cunha, Karen Riordan, Ted Taupier, Sunny Kelly and Paul Boyne were all targeted for exposing crimes and corruption in the state’s “family courts”.
Is Michele Troconis to be another scapegoat for corporate media’s complicity in that “family court” corruption?
Corporate news outlet reporters know who gave Michele Troconis that evaluation.
Corporate news outlet reporters know about Jennifer Dulos’ concerns about Mr. Herman’s “family court” evaluation.
Corporate news outlet reporters know Jennifer disappeared three weeks after she asked the “family court” to investigate Mr. Herman, “family court” evaluator and Mr. Meehan, “family court” guardian ad litem.
Corporate news reporters haven’t told Connecticut about how and why Mr. Herman didn’t lose his license to practice in the “family courts” after his mishandling of that case.
One corporate news reporter reported:
What do The Best Divorce Lawyers in Connecticut think about that? How many of The Best Divorce Lawyers in Connecticut will be happy if Michele Troconis’ contempt case is dismissed on June 18?
If Michele Troconis’ contempt case is dismissed on June 18, Connecticut won’t ever know about the most important details of the Dulos case… Kent Mawhinney will have roomed with Simon Hessler in a Connecticut prison and Connecticut citizens won’t ever know why.

If Michele Troconis actually believed the “family court” evaluator’s report [he should have noticed by now that] she’s just another scapegoat used to hide Connecticut “family court” corruption.
Darnell Crosland and Dennis Bradley represent Mr. Morgado,
Mr. Bradley doesn’t seem to represent Mr. Flynn as well as he represents Mr. Morgado and Mr. Crosland doesn’t seem to represent Ms. Troconis as well as he represents Mr. Bradley.
Does the Mr. Felner who made just-out-of-college Mr. Morgato “partner” in his Florida law firm know of the Felner group in Connecticut?
The Felner group in Connecticut took 80-something-year-old Barbara Litrop’s home from her just a few months ago.
John Flynn knows too much. In an interview with Lou a few years ago, Lou said a few people in Connecticut have been able to do as they please. Mr. Lieberman’s name was mentioned in that conversation in the same way Ms. Bronfman’s name was mentioned in several conversations about the overthrow of Libya. 🇱🇾

Wake up people, we’ve all been fooled.
It’s a place where the black robes and their minions convince themselves they are above the average person. One day, you are married and a kind, generous person, and the next day, in family court, the judge believes you are the devil. It’s gaslighting at its pinnacle. SAD. The Attorney Generals are all complicit, as well as the remaining state employees ripping off taxpayers with their salaries, pensions, and occupying space in general. 3rd-tier law schools produce the lawyers and judges. All need a prenup. Pre-nup should be the law—mediation in front of peers like a jury.
“mediation in front of peers like a jury”?
Philip Rubin, Joette Katz, Patrick Carroll III, Stalin and Mao would never allow state legislators to write laws to allow “mediation in front of peers like a jury”.
They allow struggle sessions, character assassinations, media hit jobs, shaming, gaslighting, the destruction of children and families, profit for vendors and profit for themselves.
”Family courts” are low intensity warfare. “Family courts” destroy families on purpose in Connecticut, America and countries around the world since the 1970s. The “family court” business is a very lucrative business. No oversight and no accountability has kept it going since the 1970s.
The bigger picture:
If you don’t impeach the corrupt judges, you CANNOT fix the family courts.
Yes, this is the reality of so many fathers

Alienation is an adjative to describe how one is feeling. It’s not an objective term to describe the state of the situation. This is generally the problem with the family court. The condition of relationships between people is rarely an isolated incident. It’s an accumulative. There is little thought or effort on the courts behalf to gather objectively data. There is nothing going on at the court house in the best interest of the children. The mediation of cases is a forced agreement in which is why the process doesn’t work in high conflict cases. Leading to more litigation. The children are an excuse in which not only the lawyers but the high conflict litigant engaged in. The welfare of children in the United States is attached to the economics. The government states marriage is the key to a society. The AFCC and other vested group influence the court system. Best interest of children is decided before you step foot through the door. Evidencary hearings are not held and the decision of cases are not on merit of a case. Someone leaves childless is not always the family court fault. Sometimes it is actually the government influence not best interest of the children. Sometimes you have people who can’t and won’t take responsibility for themselves. Continue to insist on blaming the other parent and the judges for the estrangement. Not perfect parents isn’t the problem in family court. The psychologist and the continued focus on ignoring the real science of human relationships is one of the biggest challenges parents in family court face. Biology is not an entitlement and it doesn’t ensure healthy relationships. The AFCC and other vested interest groups have not fixed the country and the condition children are living in. Clogging up criminal court system is not going to fix the problem. The office of family relations is paid for by tax dollars. Yet, is really used by the actual tax payer. Is often tanted by government project and unregulated high risk studies. An inability to co parent based upon the actions of individuals is overlooked by the ” encougment” of relationships with addicted parents, sexually inappropriate parents, Disney land parents ( mom or Dad) and the corporal punishment parents. Relationship and responsible parenting are two different types of things. Labeling of individual with mental health issues is a problem. The family court system is creating mental health issues in both women and men. The currupt attorney and ” money management” is the reason the attorneys are loosing their jobs. As well as ” shared parenting attorneys” forcing co parenting in a toxic dynamic. It’s sometimes both parties. Most of the time it’s an individual. Sometimes it unreasonable financial obligations. Sometimes it taking no financial obligations. Starving children back into relationship with their children is not the way go. Bankruptcing parents is no way to go. Tossing people in jail for protecting children because child support obligations have been inforced is not the answer. Approximately 2 to about 32 percent of false claims in family court is estimated. High conflict litigation, yet we allow and industry to make false statements of 99 to 90 percent are false. An industry targeted at women in divorce court leading to 70 percent of children being” alienated “. Please stop the ” high risk” unregulated studies. Please reinvest and renovate family service division. Not partnered with any specific specific vested interest groups . We are paying taxes for all of this and it’s not working!!!!!
Dear AG Tong-
How many CT children need to be abused and traumatized under your watch?
Our children are taken from us- from healthy parents- without any medical evidence or criminal evidence or even an allegation or investigation by DCF!
Why AG Tong, do you allow family court judges and attorneys posing as GALs to steal our children for profit?
Why do you allow judge Jane grossman to kidnap children month after month, year after year, and rip them from the home and arms of the parents they love?
And you have the audacity to say no one on CT is above the law when you allow family court judges and attorneys to violate our laws, violate our due process and violate our constitutional and civil rights everyday.
The state of Connecticut is focused on criminal justice reform. These people don’t want to acknowledge abuse. These gals are criminal defense attorneys. The entire system is built around financial rewards for the state of Connecticut. William Tong knows this. He. Covers the state not the people living in it. CT DCF is a failure and you think 🤔 they are the answer? They under reporting crime statistics. They plea bargain and nully cases. To maintain the ” leader” status. Cost savings is the name of the game. Child welfare takes a back seat

And AG Tong turns a blind eye… as he has for years.
Thank you, Frank Parlato, for capturing the brutal truth so many of us live but rarely see validated in print.
If Dante’s Inferno had a courtroom, it would be family court. Only, in Dante’s hell, there was a kind of order. You knew why you were there. You knew the rules. There was, strangely enough, logic to the punishment.
In family court, there is no logic. There is only chaos disguised as justice.
This article doesn’t just resonate—it echoes the stories I’ve heard from countless mothers. Women who walked into court believing love and truth would be enough to protect their children. They left shattered, silenced, and stripped of rights, watching their children become strangers raised by abusers in the name of “stability.”
I’ve listened to mothers describe the moment their child stopped calling. The panic that never goes away. The trauma of being called “uncooperative” for trying to protect their babies. The binders full of evidence no one ever read. The antacids. The shaking hands. The courtroom that felt less like a place of law and more like a ritual sacrifice of motherhood.
This system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as designed: to grind you down, shut you up, and bill you into oblivion.
Dante’s inscription — “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” — doesn’t belong in a poem anymore. It belongs over the door to every family courtroom in America.
We walked in with love. We walked out punished.
And still, we speak. Not to save ourselves, but to warn others. Because no mother should ever say, “my child is alive—but gone.”
Beware:
There is no escaping family court.
I wanted to work it out outside of court- without attorneys.
Then the red flag of the “ex-parte” “emergency” hearing was filed.
Total bullshit- allegations I had moved my children to another state. Utter lies and probable one’s, but it did the trick.
The court grabbed hold of the case and a gal appointed without agreement grabbed hold of my children.
There’s no way out.
Public exposure results in court ordered restraining orders – a sign that they need to protect themselves and their actions from being made known. Judges will throw innocent parents in jail to punish and silence them from informing the media.
Family court is an extremely dangerous place, but parents are uniting and rising and brining our children home.
Because dedicated journalists like Frank Parlato and others will not be threatened into silence. Because children matter.
There’s little hope of getting an honest attorney once the family court cabal has its tentacles on a case. There’s too much power and corruption to go up against. The judges are in on the scam. At best am attorney will file a motion here or there, but it’s all part of the act. They’ll never hold anyone accountable and will keep all evidence that helps you off the record.
Basically the attorney for the targeted parent throws their client under the bus. It’s a well oiled machine and the only one left out of the playbook is the targeted parent – whose children are being sacrificed for money.
Sociopaths rule and run family courts.
In Connecticut, the same names who worked in lockstep thirty years ago continue to plunder life savings, prolong litigation and steal children never to be seen again by their beloved parent.
There is no finding of parental unfitness. Parental rights are not legally terminated –
But parents are left with no recourse because it’s court endorsed and court ordered child abuse. One judge protects the next. The appellate court does nothing but cover for their cronies.
The most inhumane treatment of our family, friends, and neighbors occurs in family court- and the trauma and devastation continues for a lifetime.
Thank you Frank Parlato for capturing a common reality that remains hidden from public view.
GALs are the ringmasters and all work in lockstep with the predetermined outcome of child custody.
The evil acts by family court lawyers, gals, custody evaluators, court appointed psychologists and judges is incomprehensible and therefore parent victims are not believed- everyone- literally everyone involved in the court charade are aligned against the targeted parent.
Dcf and the police join in as needed, adding to the abuse and manufactured stories to strip protective healthy parents of custody, and chain them as a slave to the state- to pay attorney fees and child support after the their children, home and all belongings have been plundered.
The FBI is complicit and there is nowhere to turn.
Kash Patel will clean house.
This is exactly why in Connecticut if you find yourself in a high conflict divorce and custody battle you must retain the great Gary Cohen at once. He will protect your legal rights at a mere $950 per hour.
