Divorce Matters

Join legal experts Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry in this episode as they discuss the abusive nature of family court systems. With firsthand experience dealing with clients across the world, they share their perspectives on the corruption and cronyism within the industry that leads to extreme cases of high-conflict divorce. Tune in to learn about the challenges faced by good parents and the problems with the current court system that prioritizes money over the well-being of children.

So let's jump right in now, though. Lisa, you were in Connecticut. Is that correct? Is that the court system that you're in? And then Chris, where were you? New York only? Okay, so you guys have got a northeast perspective, which isn't too far off from California. 

I think they share a lot of things. Whereas other parts of the country can be quite different actually. Yeah, but I would. I would agree that the family court system is quite abusive, I actually think they encourage it. And I'm not talking everybody everyone knows I have an asterisk next to most things I say, because I've met some good judges. But they're the exception, not the rule. But I feel like most courts are have been developed. A family courts have been developed to encourage this type of behavior because their friends get richer off of it. And again, not every judge but I feel like most of the stuff could be shut down very quickly. And most of these things can be resolved in a room or in two or three days. But they're not
but because of all the money involved. So either one of you chime in where am i right? Or am I wrong? Okay, well, we have this weekly legal abuse support group, we meet on Sundays for about an hour and a half over zoom with clients from all over the world, different laws, same issues, everywhere that we know of that speaks English, where we have clients. And we say that divorce is a tremendous money making industry. And that it's not just you and your difficult ex, but they're actively participating in keeping these things going these high conflict cases and everybody benefits, except you and your children. And so, Chris, why do you think that is? Do you think these people are truly evil? Do you think like, they're just trying to attract money? Or the pirates? What are they? So I think, I think maybe calling them evil is a little bit of a stretch, maybe? Certainly, there are some evil ones out there. But I think so there's a couple of different contributing factors. One is, there's ignorance, right, because most people enter the court system in a divorce, they're angry, there's a reason they never got married, thinking we're when we get divorced, this is how it will be they don't intend to get divorced. So something happened and it got bad enough that they ended the relationship. And sometimes, you know, if their kids involved, they really really didn't want to end it. But it got so bad that they had to so people start off angry. But usually, you know, after a year or nine months, year, year and a half,
most rational people calm down. So when what the case is, at least I deal with, there's something going on with our clients, former former partner, where you know, it's a like a mental health issue, whether it's narcissism or borderline, you know, we're not psychologists, we're not qualified to, to diagnose anyone, we look at the behaviors. And it's amazing how consistent the behaviors are, you know, we don't need a label, we look at the behaviors. So that's, that's the biggest factor in the ones that we deal with, we deal with the 5% were that people never the other spouse never comes down. Their anger never subsides, they act irrationally, they spend way more, you know, at least we'll talk about her case, but they spend way more on attorneys fees than if they just reached a reasonable settlement to begin with. So that's that's one. That's the biggest one for us. That the courts don't understand that stuff. It doesn't always take two to tango. Let me challenge you on something. What do you mean, the courts don't understand that you don't think they understand what's going on? They don't they look at these high conflict, generally speaking, okay. You know, not in every case. But generally speaking, they look at when two people are fighting, they can't settle. That it's both their fault. They're both
the you know, the term is mutual combat. Yeah. You know, or takes two to tango is another thing that people say all the time. They're not sophistic judges, you're so overloaded with it with cases, they just want you out of their your business transaction to them. Right, so why won't you settle and they get angry at both parties, without having the time or the expertise to like dig deep into what's going on. Also, you know, the toxic personalities, which I know this isn't about toxic personalities. But those people there, they're really, really persuasive. They're manipulative, they've been practicing it for really their entire adult lives. So they go in there and they spin these fantastic lies, and distractions, all kinds of stuff. The other issue though, is because I know I'm going on with this response. A big part of it also, is this sort of this cronyism system that's grown up around divorce. So whether it be parenting, you know, custody evaluators, parenting coordinators, guardian ad litem, or as we call them in, in New York attorneys for the children.

Where are we with the Robert Emert case?

A lot of you have been emailing and calling and all that. So he's still in jail. Unfortunately, if you don't recall, we had a, a podcast about this thing a few episodes ago. And because he's still in jail, literally for ridiculous reasons. Things that I believe were either made up by the DEA or exaggerated. In order to teach Ron the lesson, he filed a federal lawsuit. This is a title 42 USC 9083, which is essentially a federal lawsuit used against people that are violating his civil rights under color of law. And he named nine defendants because you can't sue the state, typically, unless they violate your ADEA, which are Americans with disabilities. And they did. So in part, he sued a state actor, I don't believe he sued a state. But he didn't sue nine people in total that were violating his civil rights, including the DEA investigator, Luis Pena, here in San Diego, who I believe was the one that was behind this with another woman that's in the DHS office, just basically a travesty. And these are the things that the people have to rise up and demand change. Because if you can throw a dad in jail, who was for all intents and purposes, one of the best dads of the year, he just got angry with the courts who were trying to take his son away from them and put them put him in the home. So now, we're in a situation where he's got a federal lawsuit, which they've got 21 days to respond. I think that was from February 7. So we'll get back on at the end of the month and talk to you about what happened there. We just witnessed a preliminary hearing, I believe it was yesterday where they presented their evidence. And I can tell you, I was looking at the DA was looking at Louis Pena, these people are nervous. Her hand was shaking, and she was reading from it because they know this is a fraud. It's BS, what they're trying to do. And if they win, and they set precedents here, then if you miss, or if you have an infraction of any sort, and they deem you, as someone that they don't like, then hey, you could be arrested without bail. It's insane. And they know it.

The San Diego District Attorney Luis Pena and Judge Kimberlee Lagotta are responsible for this fiasco.  https://ballotpedia.org/Kimberlee_Lagotta 

These two charlatans conspired to arrest a very respectable dad and issue a protective warrant on his 15-year-old son.  Why? for parental abduction, but they made it look like a kidnapping so that NO BAIL was set.  No bail is given to murderers and repeat offenders not dad's.

The fact is, I know Bryce and Rob. Bryce CHOSE to live with Robert. Yes there was a court order for Bryce to live with mom, but it was based on a fraud upon the court and a commissioner that endorsed that fraud, Commissioner Patt Ratekin. We've had a lot of complaints about Ms. Ratekin, her actions are very concerning.

Today we discuss the importance of "In re Marriage of Prentis-Margulis & Margulis" Which discusses the fiduciary responsibility of spouses not to hide assets and the ramifications if they do. We get into Family Code 721, 1100, 1101 and some corporation code (yes spouses do fall under these codes as well).

In a marital dissolution proceeding to divide the community property, where the nonmanaging spouse has prima facie evidence that community assets of a certain value have disappeared while in the control *330 of the managing spouse post-separation, should the managing spouse have the burden of proof to account for the missing assets? The answer is yes.

Family code 1100 and 721 to disclose

Join Mark Esquibel, Michael Alexander and myself as we discuss this.

Sean McMIllian is the Attorney on the LA Case

Wallis v. Spencer, 202 F.3d 1126, 1130 (9th Cir. 1999) (“Because the swing of every pendulum brings with it potential adverse consequences, it is important to emphasize that in the area of child abuse, as with the investigation and prosecution of all crimes, the state is constrained by the substantive and procedural guarantees of the Constitution. The fact that the suspected crime may be heinous — whether it involves children or adults — does not provide cause for the state to ignore the rights of the accused or any other parties.”)

Wallis v. Spencer, 202 F.3d 1126, 1131 (9th Cir. 1999) (“ Escondido police officers, evidently acting on the basis of a non-existent court order, seized the children, aged two and five, placed them in a county-run institution, and several days later, without obtaining judicial authorization and without notifying their parents, took them to a hospital for the performance of highly intrusive anal and vaginal physical examinations. The children were not returned to their parents for approximately two and one-half months. All of this occurred after a mental patient who had a long history of delusional disorders and was confined to a mental institution told her therapist a fantastic tale of Satanic witchcraft within her family and an impending child sacrifice. T”)

The district court initially granted the City's motion for summary judgment on the erroneous theory that the action was collaterally estopped by a preliminary ruling of the juvenile court referee, and we reversed. Subsequently, the district court again granted the City summary judgment, this time on the merits. Again, we reverse.

Ben Schooley is a Pro Se coach. Listen to what he went through before taking his own case over. 


Partial Transcripts 
Hello, everyone, welcome to divorce matters. Joining me today is Ben Schooley. He's a pro se coach, and he knows a lot about family law. So I thought what a perfect person to have on the show. Because he's been there done that. And we always love those types of people. So before we jump in, Ben, can you kind of give us your background how you got into this, and we'll take it from there.

You're talking about like, like for damages? Yeah. No, I mean, no, I have no, my deal is over done with I mean, my life has moved forward. And it is what it is, and it's gonna finish out the way it's gonna finish out. I've been talking with a lot of people about loss of consortium, which if you don't know what that is, is like, when you and your spouse are driving in a car and an 18 Wheeler hits you and kills your spouse, then the personal injury attorneys will sue on loss of consortium, which has got no monetary limit. And that goes after their insurance policy, which is the loss of consortium is a loss of the relationship that I would have had without your interference. And so I've been trying to encourage somebody to kind of pick up that football enrollment loss of consortium in a civil family law situation as you know, you, you lied. I proved that ultimately, it took me five years to do it. I mean, but You wrecked my relationship with my child. And I leave $10 million, because I think that would set such a precedent for damages and for process in case law. But today, it hasn't happened. I keep hoping that somebody will kind of pick up that football run with it. Yeah.

About our Guest Predrag Tosic 

"My name is very South-Slavic. Both my first and last names are unique to the former
Yugoslavia. I was born and raised in Belgrade. What was Yugoslavia at the time, and is today
the capital of Serbia. And you know I've been in this country [the US] for about 30 years now,
ever since my undergraduate college. I lived in about eight different states, moving around a
lot especially between 2006 when I got my PhD and 2015. I also used to live and work in your
state of California, in Silicon Valley. I also lived in Maryland, Illinois, Texas, Idaho and different
parts of Washington state. My graduate school was where I spent the longest, almost 10
years; I have three degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. And then
since about 2015, I've been living in the Pacific Northwest, mostly in Washington State and
also briefly Idaho. And this is where I got married. A blunder as it turned out if you are
heterosexual male, given the massive gender-bias in Washington state when it comes to
divorce/custody, but especially when it comes to DV (domestic violence). My daughter Mira
was born in Pullman, Washington in the early 2017. Her mother, my ex-wife, is a greater
Seattle native. When Mira was a baby, her mother she literally took off with the kid and moved
some 300 miles across the state, against my will. It was a book-example of parental
abduction, however I made a mistake not treating it as such from the get-go, naively fooling
myself it was “just post partum” rather than a premeditated action. Then-wife played games
about coming back or not coming back to where the child was born and where I still lived.
Then, prior to even establishing a proper residence there, later in 2017 she files for divorce in
Seattle, King County, which is the worst for fathers in divorce and child custody, together with
Pierce County (just south of King; where the city of Tacoma is located). The entire state of
Washington is very bad for fathers, but these two counties (in the uber-woke, de facto one-
party ruled western Washington state) are the worst. King County should have never been the
proper venue for either divorce or child custody litigation. The gender based discrimination in
western Washington is rampant. Family court corruption is rampant. These people are just
looking to line up their pockets and pockets of their buddies among greedy lawyers, various
“evaluators” and fake experts, and the like. The Constitution and one’s protected rights are
blatantly and knowingly violated, whereas the well-being, let alone actual best interest, of the
children involved in this quagmire are but a buzzword used by the abusive, corrupt family
court judges, but in reality aren’t even an afterthought to those same judges and various
“children’s advocates” who are destroying families and (usually) making children fatherless or
nearly-fatherless for profits. It’s beyond corrupt and is indeed truly sick; I believe, based on
my experience and what I know of other fathers’ experiences in the state of Washington, that
these so-called “family courts” are so bad, corrupt and lawless, they are already beyond
redemption or being “reformable”; they should be abolished altogether, as the amount of harm
they cause is truly astounding!
