Ambrose’s Script: Family Court, Federal Court, and Fake Poverty
SharefXin

Christopher Ambrose calls himself a victim, but he is a man who broke his children’s hearts. He’s the guy writing the script, directing the actors, and stealing the scenery while crying that he’s broke. In this guest view, we see him for what he is: a man who seized children through a system designed to protect them, and who now tries to silence his critics with federal litigation. This isn’t an episode of fiction like the ones he used to write for TV. Ambrose has turned institutions of law into instruments of cruelty. The money tricks, the broken kids, the fake poverty act. You read it, and you’ll know exactly what kind of man Ambrose is.

Margaret Sullivan is our guest author and she is commenting about Frank Report’s story and adding some keen insigts of her own.

Claiming Poverty From a $2.2M Beach House: The Ambrose Affidavit Story


Margaret Sullivan

By Margaret Sullivan

This article lays bare what so many of us have been screaming for years: Christopher Ambrose is not just dishonest — he is dangerous. The fact that this man, who has already devastated his children’s lives and financially destroyed their mother, can now stand before a federal judge claiming poverty while hiding behind misrepresentations and legal technicalities is a grotesque insult to the very concept of justice.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t a “he said, she said.” This is a man who manipulated the family court system to gain custody of three children who were terrified of him, only to now turn around and claim that he is a victim — of public scrutiny, of a psychiatrist’s professional opinion, of his own financial ruin. But who created this financial ruin? Ambrose himself.

He transferred marital assets into secret Fidelity accounts.

He withheld financial records from his own divorce proceedings. He took control of his ex-wife’s inheritance. He made his children’s mother — their only stable parent — homeless

Ambrose lives in a $2 million plus home he rents. He pays $3750 per month, but told the court he pays $2400. He pretends he is impoverished.And now, to save himself $405, he tells a federal judge that he’s destitute? As if the rest of us are blind to the staggering hypocrisy. He didn’t want the public to see his financial affidavit — and now we know why. What he tried to hide speaks volumes.

Let’s not overlook the most sickening irony: Ambrose weaponized the family court against his own children and now he’s weaponizing the federal courts to silence Dr. Bandy Lee — a woman who dared to use her professional expertise to assess his behaviors and protect others. Her conclusion? A 32 out of 40 on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist.

Is this lawsuit agsint Dr. Lee truly about defamation — or is it a desperate attempt by a man finally cornered by truth to silence those shedding light on his abuses?

Christopher A. AmbroseChristopher A. Ambrose

Christopher Ambrose is suing Dr. Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist who says he exhibits symptons of a clincal pyschopath.

And where is the judicial accountability? How many lies does Ambrose have to tell under oath before someone in power steps in? Where is the perjury investigation? Where is the referral for fraud under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(A)? If any other citizen lied to a federal judge to gain financial relief, they would face real consequences. Why not him?

ambrose sugnatureChristopher Ambrose swore under penalty of perjury that he was desititute. Some of his statements in his financial affidavit are provable untrue. An investigation is warranted.

Christopher Ambrose swore under penalty of perjury to a federal judge that he was desititute. Some of his claims in his financial affidavit are provably untrue. An investigation is warranted.

Christopher Ambrose isn’t a victim. He’s the system’s ugliest product

 

Frank Parlato’s article is more than journalism — it’s public service. Because Connecticut’s family court system has become a safe haven for abusers with money, influence, or a convincing sob story. And this man checks every box.
What Ambrose is doing — and has done — should horrify anyone who cares about children, about truth, about the integrity of our courts. And while the judge rightly denied his motion to seal his affidavit, that’s just the beginning.

Exposing his lies is not enough. There must be consequences.

We must demand a system where perjury is not optional. Where family court cannot be weaponized against protective parents. Where children’s voices are not silenced to serve the vanity and vengeance of an unstable man playing victim.

To all who’ve been following the Ambrose saga — to survivors, to advocates, to mothers and children failed by the courts: don’t look away. Let this case fuel our fire. The truth is out. Now it’s time for justice to catch up.

    Christopher Ambrose is a pedo, in my opinion based on filed court documents I have seen. Until and unless he explains the presence on his computer of:

    • AnonymousAugust 24, 2025
      That definitely explains why judge O’Neil gave Ambrose the kids.
      • AnonymousAugust 25, 2025
        Perhaps the judges before O'Neil was just following through on the oath of his assignment. Chris quickly drained Karen's assets with the assistance of Ed Nausbalm. A quick hundred thousand for phone calls and emails. The judges perhaps look at the financial affidavit and decided Chris was able to financially support the kids. All other related matters were tossed out the window with the fatherhood gatekeeper barrier to fatherhood. The hypothetical theater of parental alienation. How much of the state ability to express funding needs and outcomes? The entire system is based on welfare which appears to be guided by financial resources. Chris is now claiming he is broke. While Karen is joined the 61 percent of women slaving for a paycheck in the state.Living above poverty because she claims one. Yet the state of Connecticut is not stepping up to advocate for them. The entire financial structure is based on the opposite gender of a parent. Connecticut is home to some of the wealthiest men in the country. The judicial branch is catering to them.

        Mr. O’Neil’s white collar criminal defense experience was what did it.

        (BTW, if anyone knows who replaced the family expert with the white collar crime expert, please let readers here know.)

        While Mr. O’Neil’s flak for racketeering in the case did minimize evidence of crimes against children, Ms. Grossman, the GAL and others already ignored those crimes beginning at the beginning of the case.

  • The joke is on the stateAugust 24, 2025
    Many a rumors swirl through the court reform community. Connecticut has been the “leader” of many social programs that appear to be of great benefit to the state not the human beings living in it. From the hoods of Hartford to the large homes of Stanford, one thing is for sure. The family court is driving the people into disparages.

    The state of Connecticut has made out like a bandit. While the men's rights group spread the rumors of title 4D being the problem. Here is what these parents need to know. The welfare system was intended to help Americans. Many were minority mothers and teenagers giving birth unmarried and unable to meet the needs of raising children. In the last few decades the world has made a major shift. The majority of single parents remain women, but has made drastic increase in single daddies.

    Despite raising alarm bells in the court house Mr. Ambrose was given custody of three minor children. Which follows the guidelines of what women in the state of Connecticut are complaining about. Here is what you journalist may be missing . In your endless crusade against the payment of child support.

    According to a google search in the never ending quest to protect children from living under the court ordered condition that are not best interest.

    ” While Connecticut does not keep unspent TANF funds , a large portion is spent( responsible fatherhood) on programs and administration cost rather than direct cash assistance.”

    How Connecticut used TANF $266 million annually, the state is SPENDING A VERY LOW PERCENTAGE ON CASH ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES. Just 6% in 2021 in contrast to national average of 23%. Leading to questions of the appointed judges by elected officials very concerned of the ” budget gaps”. The state of Connecticut ranks 48 in the country for percentage of TANF funds spent.

    Mr. Ambrose feel under the umbrella of the MOU for fatherhood dominating the state of Connecticut legal system since 2007. $450 million dollars when you include state matching funds goes towards a wide range of other programs and administration cost. All under the Daddy umbrella.

    The family court judges bet on the wrong horse. While you Wonder bread daddies have been yelling about child support and using parental alienation. Some of us Crazy bitches have been doing our home work.

    xoxo The protective Momma who caught the family court bitch burning brigade bring fraud upon the court for statistics, funding and cost savings to the state. Fast cash for the family law industry.

    P.S. A shot out to the silver bullet band, your nose is growing by the minute.

    P.S.S. MOTHERS WAKE UP !!!!!! These “warriors” are leading you like lambs to the slaughterhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      The study did not make clear why they picked the courts that they did or if they had certain requirements of disputants besides the fact that they were seeking child custody or visitation rights in a public mediation court. It is also unclear how cases included in the study were selected, and therefore it cannot be determined whether the selection was truly random. Even if the cases sampled were sampled randomly, there was no randomization between treatment (mediation) and control groups (traditional divorce proceedings). Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether mediation leads to significantly improved outcomes. Additionally, while the authors purported to compare differences across regions, none of these differences nor any other results of the study were analyzed for statistical significance. Finally, the study did not include the results from the last survey, so it is impossible to determine the longer-lasting impact of the mediation as compared to regular adversarial-style settings. …”

        Mediation is a service for people with minimal problems. Chris and Karen did not have minimal problems. People with problems have no choice but to go to the courthouse for help. The courthouse is not a place for help. The service who can provide help are locked out of the courtroom. Instead you are either directed to the family services run by Joseph Ditunno AFCC.

Who has been allowing the gals to engage in conduct adviserial to the best interest of children? Who has allowed the psychologist to get away practicing experimental psychology that is adviserial to the well being of the children?

      In all pending judicial proceedings regarding corruption in Connecticut “family courts”, attorneys should subpoena Ms. Katz and Mr. Rubin to answer on record:

      ”At any time in your work in the state of Connecticut, have you been aware of which state and or federal office(s) collected and stored research data for the involuntary research subjects in state family court cases and in Department of Children and Family cases?

      That question must be asked and answered because:

      The Belmont Report was written by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. The Commission, created as a result of the National Research Act of 1974, was charged with identifying the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and developing guidelines to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. Informed by monthly discussions that spanned nearly four years and an intensive four days of deliberation in 1976, the Commission published the Belmont Report, which identifies basic ethical principles and guidelines that address ethical issues arising from the conduct of research with human subjects.

How much damage has been done to mothers like Karen Riordan from a system that profit off the denial of abusive behavior? How much damage to the children? I would like to know in the history of Connecticut family court system if there has been a case where therapist like Mr. Freeman have ever diagnosed the children and parents like Karen Riordan with PTSD or CPTSD? I've been accused of being intense and argumentative. I've fought with therapist who continue to say that people are being kept in trauma. Perhaps if the court system would stop forcing people in to living in traumatic conditions we could all move on. Get out of trauma. It's not just about Karen and her beautiful children.

      Connecticut’s New Haven State’s Attorney John “Jack” Doyle stunned observers with an August 22, 2025, court motion aiming to gag the defendant in a free speech case.

      Doyle petitioned the court for a protective order to deny defendant Paul Boyne any physical possession of discovery materials and to prohibit Boyne from reviewing, sharing, or publishing any discovery content – “even redacted and even with the press.”

      This extraordinary request comes as Boyne awaits trial on charges stemming from his online writings; his alleged crime? Publishing blog posts criticizing Connecticut family court judges, which Doyle’s office stretched into a “stalking” charge.

Rev. J. Benjamin Hardwick and Curtis Somoza created a life insurance program for poor South Los Angeles congregants, funded by investors and insured by Transamerica. Early deaths, delayed payouts and federal intervention turned the plan into a fraud case.
