Nothing New to Report

Nothing New to Report about my case.

Looking Thru Past Files

I was looking through my case files today, and found a few things that I feel I need to share.

This is one of the road blocks that the JDR Court set in front of me.

Order was in Chesapeake JDR Court date 2-14-03.

The Following Parties where Present.
Petitioner/ on her attorney
Respondent

Type of case. Custody

Finding of the Courts:

"There is a NC Custody in effect, hearing pending in NC 3-6-03.
Atty D. Dickerson appt. GAL, he is to facilitate visitation."

It is ordered that (f) father ordered per order 12-1-97 order to provide proof
of HIV testing under seal by 3-20-03. (M) mother does not need to be back it (F)
has not provided test result by 3-20-03. (M) (F) order to complete parenting
classes.

case to cont'd. 3-21-03."

I did comply this time, the first time I refuse to comply. I inform Judge Olds that I would not since there was not grounds for such test under VA Law. She didn't push the issue.

The Courts received the test result via cert. Mail. In court the clerk claims that I didn't send the information till I present the returned receipt from my Cert. Mail to the court.

I took the class but she didn't.

Judge olds over look it, however she didn't show for court that day, yet (if I'm correct she didn't show for court) Only her lawyer.

She how the court treats fathers from the way they treat mother. Its like one law rich and one law for the poor or in this case one for mothers and one for fathers.

I SAY ITS TIME TO OPEN THE FAMILY COURTS TO THE PUBLIC AND HAVE EACH CASE RECORDED. HAVE THE JUDGES TERMS CUT 2 TERM IN OFFICE THEN BACK TO PRIVATE SECTOR FOR AT LEAST ONE TERM. BEFORE THEY ARE APPOINTED BACK TO FAMILY COURT

Fathers don't stand a chance in this court at all.

If you should have the only female judge in this court you may want to hire a court report to record your hearing.

Beware Pro se

If you ever have a case where you are in front of a judge where you have an appeal in another court , don't ever let the judge talk you into dropping your appeal. These Judges only care about themselves. Why do you think when you report a lawyer or a judge for misconduct they are judge by fellow lawyer and judges.

I feel they should be judge by a body made up of judges lawyer and non-legal persons.


Don't just trust any judge in a Family Court.

VA DSCE Fact Sheet 2005

Check out the bold text

VIRGINIA CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM 2005 Fact Sheet
The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) collected a record $561 million in SFY05, (a 5% increase over the previous year); $534 million in SFY04 (increase of 5.5%); and $506 million in SFY03.

Virginia’s Child Support Enforcement caseload includes 363,000 cases and 484,000 children. These children represent almost one-quarter of Virginia’s child population and are owed $2.2 billion in past due child support.

As the first state to subpoena cell phone records in order to locate delinquent parents, Virginia is seeking innovative ways to provide child support for the children of the Commonwealth. While continuing to seek agreements with cell phone companies for a more effective matching process, DCSE has issued 2,030 subpoenas on non-custodial parents. Locate information has been received at an impressive success rate of 40-50% of the subpoenas issued.

see big brother in every part of your life.. to stop this, get pre paid cells. no names no personal information.

The Division has established an interactive Web application. This Web page, which provides updated payment and case information to custodial and noncustodial parents, gives DCSE customers another method, in addition to the telephone and office visits, of accessing information. Over 7,000 customers visit the site each day. In addition, DCSE's website provides helpful links to Virginia's New Hire Reporting Center and the Department of Labor and Industry. The Web address is www.dss.state.va.us/dcse.case/. Only a few other states have achieved this enhanced level of customer services.

DCSE's Home Office Customer Services Unit established a national toll-free telephone number dedicated to employer inquiries in 2002 and continues to respond to more than 100,000 calls per year. The dedicated employer line has proved to be a vital tool in the implementation of the National Medical Support Notice. Workers who respond on this line also encourage employers to consider electronic transmission of child support deductions to DCSE.

Virginia’s continuous attention to its Undistributed Collections (UDC) balance achieved a balance of 1.59% in September 2005. (All states carry legitimate UDC balances stemming from federal tax offsets, future payments, etc.) Virginia is a leader in the Nation in addressing this issue.

DCSE has stepped-up its encouragement that customers avail themselves of Direct Deposit. In September 2001, Virginia’s child support electronic disbursement of payments represented 36% of total payments. In September 2005, 56% of all disbursements were electronic. Virginia DCSE continues to use mass mailings and other means to encourage enrollment.

Of more than 1.76 million new hires in the Commonwealth in SFY05, there were 83,520 that matched cases with unpaid child support, a match rate of 4.7%. Since its inception in 1993, approximately $89.8 million has been collected as a direct result of new hire reporting. Virginia was the pilot state for New Hire Reporting.

Since it was initiated in 1995, the Virginia Drivers License Suspension Program has resulted in collections of over $236.6 million in delinquent child support, with more than 3,500 licenses actually suspended.

Virginia was one of the first two states in the Nation to receive unconditional federal certification of its automated child support system.

Virginia collected $7.00 for every dollar spent in SFY05, which exceeds the maximum federal cost effectiveness goal by $2.00. Virginia’s Child Support Enforcement Program is a very cost-effective operation.

Virginia continues to explore new methods of enforcing child support obligations such as joining the Child Support Lien Network to intercept insurance settlements of delinquent parents and increasing the seizure of assets such as bank accounts.

Here if you get hurt in a accident the child get the money first, then what ever is left you get, VA doesn't care if the NCP: has a home or a jod, they only what your money...

In addition to the direct benefits to children measured in child support delivered, DCSE also avoids costs to taxpayers by contributing to the overall income of families, fostering self-sufficiency and less dependency on public assistance programs. One measure used by the Federal Government for this “cost avoidance” is Percent of TANF Cases Closed with a Child Support Collection. For FFY04, Virginia DCSE was #1 in the Nation on this performance measure at 57.2%!

The Virginia $4Kids Program allows child support payments to be made through the DCSE website or by toll-free phone call. Information on this initiative is posted on the New Hire website: https://newhirereporting.com/vanewhire/ default.asp. Posters in field offices advertise the program which is free to both employers and non-custodial parents.

Innovative methods of payment allow child support to be paid electronically. Non-custodial parents can pay through their bank’s on-line bill payment service. Also, payments may be made through any Western Union agent for those parents who may not have bank accounts.

This is to help them find your bank account and credit cards numbers

A new initiative to publicize delinquent non-custodial parents with outstanding capias warrants was launched in 2005. Pictures of non-custodial parents were advertised in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot (twice), the Roanoke Times, and the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Additional ads are currently scheduled for the Richmond Voice and the Chesterfield Observer. Results continue to come in but, to date, 63 non-custodial parents have been arrested, 21 income withholdings with annual child support totaling $71,680 have been issued, and lump sum payments totaling $52,179 have been received. Additional non-custodial parents have been located as a result of this initiative and enforcement actions are on-going.

Ron Grignol

Ron Grignol believes that in the tragedy of family break up, both parents, provided they are fit, should share parenting time and be involved in parenting decisions to ensure children grow up in a healthy atmosphere

I support him of this issue and only this issue.

His mother's work instilled a desire in Ron to get involved in bringing about change, which led to his work with Father's for Virginia, the premiere shared parenting advocacy group in the state. Ron currently serves as the President of Father's for Virginia and his work has brought him to Richmond many times to testify on behalf of this organization.

How Judge Olds Got her Job

Banned in Boston

IT IS OFFICIAL: JUDGE BANS FATHER'S BOOK ON CORRUPTION IN FAMILY COURT

On March 22, 2006, Essex Probate and Family Court Justice Mary McCauley Manzi, made it clear that First Amendment rights do not apply in her courtroom when she banned Kevin Thompson's tell-all book titled "Exposing the Corruption in the Massachusetts Family Courts."

What makes this particular ruling so outrageous is that Manzi is prominently criticized in the book for her judicial misconduct in Thompson's case. Therefore, a clear conflict of interest existed that should have excluded Manzi from having jurisdiction.

This issue has caused a stir among civil rights and fathers' rights groups in the state who have tired of the illegal treatment that they receive in family court where constitutional law is routinely ignored. Dr. Ned Holstein, founder of the parental advocacy group Fathers and Families, argued, "Manzi should have recused herself from ruling on a book in which she's criticized. I think the Family Court has lost all sight of the Constitution in this matter and in many others."

Aware of the media interest in the story, Manzi refused to release her ruling by phone to Thompson, who received his notice by mail on Friday, March 24, 2006. The order permanently restrains Thompson from disseminating any information related to his custody case and impounds the custody case itself until the year 2021.

Manzi's rationale for this action is that "impoundment is necessary to protect the best interests including the privacy interests of the parties' minor child." She wrote further, "no harm will be caused to the community interest by impounding this file."

When reached for comment, Thompson asked, "what privacy interests of my son have been compromised and whose interests are being protected other than the personal interests of Judge Manzi, Judge Digangi, and the three judges in appeals court who don't want their crimes to be exposed?"

Thompson commented further, "No community interest is harmed other than the community's right to scrutinize the judiciary, hold it accountable, and prevent from happening the concealed crimes committed against fathers and children every day in family court for profit."

When asked whether he would adhere to the order, Thompson commented, "I made it clear at the hearing that Judge Manzi did not have the jurisdiction to ban my book. Any order issued from such a hearing would be illegal and therefore, null and void. Since I respect the law, I have no intentions of adhering to an illegal order issued by a judge with her own agenda."

Thompson is scheduled for court on April 19, 2006, to respond to the Mother's request for attorney fees incurred to ban Thompson's book. Manzi has requested financial statements from both parents before she rules on this motion. Thompson commented, "what could possibly be the relevance of financial statements in the determination of whether or not to extort the mother's attorney fees from me? This is how the family courts bully fathers into silence - jail them for ignoring illegal orders or financially ruin them by making them pay for attorneys who they did not hire. Everything that I am doing right now is for my son. I will not be shut up."

Banned Book about a Family Court Case

Very Intesting, See what some judges will do to protected themselves.

EXPOSING THE CORRUPTION IN THE MASSACHUSETTS FAMILY COURTS
by Kevin Thompson

Description:
I am just one of the thousands of fathers who have been victimized by the system of organized crime in the Massachusetts family courts. This book exposes the motives, tactics, and hypocrisy that all fathers must endure. The book also details my specific case including the "spin off" corruption that resulted from my efforts to hold the liars and racketeers in and outside of this kangaroo court system accountable.

Secret Courts Sessions

It is true that Family Court operate in sercet, There are records kept, Just JUdges Note which only other Judges are allow to see, and what these judges order you to do, and other orders.

What is said and do in court by these judges and lawyers there are no records for one to use against them. No way to Prove that the Judge violated your civil rights, no way to prove lawyer misconduct as well.

Most all family court cases are close to the public.

New Information

It would seem that the Virginia Court system is making it easier for people to get orders of protective. it called I-Can (CLICK HERE) I-Can is a computer program that asks questions and completes the correct court forms. The completed forms must be taken to the Court Services Unit that serves the appropriate Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court.

I see how abusers of the systems can now sit at home and lie easier to get these orders. All they have to do is complete the Q&A then print it, sign it, then take to the court house and file it. Done!!!!

here its the link to the Chesapeake JDR Court, CLICK HERE

The judges of the juvenile and domestic relations district court are elected by the General Assembly for 6 year terms. Which i think after they serve two terms they so be replaced.

CLICK HERE this is How Ms Olds got her job.

Judges Olds needs to be remove from the brench ASAP. In my belief she is playing politics in her court room
