One hear story's about the unfairness of the family court system throughout the Nation. Unlike the case of Susan Ferris, a Sacramento California Superior Court, Family Law litigant who was self represented and the odds were against her. read more here http://www.sacbee.com/2014/03/26/6268552/state-considers-providing-lawyers.html, and here http://sacramentocountyfamilycourtnews.blogspot.com/search/label/FERRIS%20CASE. Thinking that it wouldn't happen to me. But it did.
As a primary care taker for my four children since birth. We resided in the county of El Dorado for over 10 years, as well as a survivor of domestic abuse for 20 years. To grasp the strength to get out of the abusive relationship with the support of my community, friends, and family, I've decided To escape the violence and create a healthier environment not only for myself but for our children.
When I filed a restraining order in 2011(PFL20110518), the father Frank Lane was represented by a West Sacramento attorney Fidel Martinez which unilaterally filed a motion for custody(PFL20110700). The situation, became estranged and retaliatory. The court battle became so convoluted, that it was incomprehensible. Being self represented, I felt bullied, backed into a corner, and the odds were clearly against me. The court appoints minor council Barbara Newman to represent our children, Attorney Fidel Martinez representing the father, the court appointed mediator Ady Langer, (her son was friends with my daughter) was clearly a conflict of interest. So the stakes were high.
In 2013, Attorney Fidel Martinez, on the behalf of the father, Frank Lane filed a Notice of Motion citing an allege employment prospect with no offer letter attached, to work in Seattle Washington. to be employed by a MARIJUANA dispensary making a substantial TAX FREE income in excess of $90,000 per year. Although, I contested the move away, it was clearly retaliation from the father to further alienate me from my children for filing a restraining order.
Judge Wagoner, who was severely admonished click here http://cjp.ca.gov/res/docs/public_admon/Wagoner_DO_9-13-11.pdf ordered the illegal move away, to make matters worst The father Frank Lane leaves our then 16 year old daughter to live with a boyfriend who was 18 years of age. Attorney Barbara Newman, representing the children supported the move with the three children, meanwhile leaving my 16 year old daughter to move in with her 18 year old boyfriend in El Dorado county.
WHO IS PAYING FOR ATTORNEY BARBARA NEWMAN'S COURT APPOINTED SERVICES, for children who currently are residing in the state of Washington, Pullyap county? Are the residents of EL DORADO county forking the bill for an attorney who clearly is appointed to represent children who reside in the state of Washington?
She tore our famil apart ruthlessly.
