Has had to engage a SENIOR COUNSEL from a law firm to defend a SERIOUS complaint against her with the law society.

Well, when your a lawyer and you have to get a SC to represent you- it's because your as guilty as hell!

Bet that's not helping the reputation of the law firm she works for or their other lawyers!

Stand up for gus!

There is a campaign the same as above about a girl in New Zealand. I have permission to link in the website (which includes all of the parents and their families names, photos and personal details, court documents etc) and youtube videos about the case, once the Hague Convention (who are now involved) is finished with it.

GOING.........GOING..................GONE!

I found out a few hours ago, that some law firm in Dunedin had placed the following advertisement in the Dunedin Buy Sell Exchange (does that paper still exist!?)

 BIG CHANGES IN FAMILY COURT ONLY 5 WEEKS AWAY PM ME TO FIND OUT HOW THIS COULD AFFECT YOU.

Wow, sounds exciting......not

So I emailed the law firm and this was the reply.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately the changes I mentioned have come about on a timeframe that is
a bit unrealistic - we lawyers are being provided training on 17 March for
the changes that take place on 31 March and it seems that the details are
still being finalised as we speak!

Effectively though, it involves an attempt to remove lawyers from the Family
Court as much as possible and the removal of the existing Family Court
counselling services.

Clients will be able to see us for initial advice but then are made to
engage in compulsory parenting programmes and attend compulsory mediation
with the other person without legal or other support and only after that, if
there is still no agreement, are they able to proceed to the Family Court -
and then, only with lawyers if the Judge asks for this.

I hope you can make some sense of that!

The long and short of it is, I recommend getting in now if you can.  There
are some exceptions of course if there are serious issues like drug and
alcohol risk factors or domestic violence, in which case people may be able
to have lawyers throughout the process as they do now.  Likewise, even if
you do get in now some of this will affect you but the level to which I am
not sure.  For example I know that the counselling referrals made prior to
31 March will still be honoured and you are likely to be able to have a
great level of legal assistance at this point in the process.

I roared with laughter! and I will give you my undying opinion of this, once I come back from lunch with my darling hubby.................poor wee lawyers, going to be out of the job!

So, this lawyer thinks the 'time frame' is 'unrealistic'.
I don't think 'changes' could have come soon enough, nor did it really go as far as it should have.

'An attempt to remove lawyers'.
Lawyers need to be fully removed! Show me a family court lawyer that has ever done any good for a child and families? We have family court lawyers wanting to supply children to pedophiles, abuse good parents, lie, then complain over why they should care about any child's safety?

I made perfect sense of the third paragraph.
Step 1, ask a lawyer (who will charge you $500 for the consulting fee) about the family court.
Step 2, go to parenting programme.
Step 3, go to mediation.
Step 4, go to court.
Step 5, Judge will issue you instructions on getting a lawyer.

ALL WITHOUT A LAWYER

Did that seem hard? ;)

But no, there is always one lawyer who likes to complicate things- opps I lied- there is in fact 1200 family court lawyers who like to complicate even the most simple of matters.

The long and short is, don't touch a family court lawyer with a ten foot barge pole.

So lets all have a cry over the fact family court lawyers are becoming an extinct breed (thank god).

I wonder what they will do now? since they sucked in all other areas of law (which is why they are family court lawyers).
Perhaps they could all follow Judge Emma Smith to Syria? or go jump of the nearest bridge?

Option two is a definite 'must do' for all family court lawyers.

The story that has re-open Domestic Violence and the fact Judges and courts ignore it.

It's interesting how the New Zealand family court have the blood of  two children and a father on their hands and then Australia has one child and a father.

The thing that annoys me about this the most, is the fact these fathers took the lives of their children with them.
Ok, so they had mental health issue's and sometimes when people decided to do this sort of thing there is really no stopping them. BUT, take a Judge or one of their family members on your little suicide trip!
Don't take your kids. These guys would have generated massive shifts in the behavior of the Judges had they done that. It only takes a dead Judge to get the message out that they need to buck their ideas up in the court room. That's what generated the massive changes in Australia years ago.

It is rare for Family Court judges to speak publicly about their views. Many are still haunted by the 1980 murder of Justice David Opas and 1984 bombings of the Parramatta Family Court building and homes of two judges.

ON a day of mourning for many Australians, the mother of murdered schoolboy Luke Batty has taken the opportunity to plead for more support for victims of domestic violence.

Rosie Batty gave an emotionally charged interview to Today Show’s Georgie Gardner (which aired this morning) in which she described her guilt and grief over the death of her eleven-year-old son at the hands of his father Greg.

“Everyone believed it was me at risk,” Ms Batty told Gardner, “so did I, it never entered my head and neither should it because no one can comprehend that that ever would have happened.

“Luke had begun to notice and understand that his dad was different and he had a lot of anxiety around how he would react in front of people.

“I am still convinced and know in my heart that Greg loved Luke but his act was a totally selfish act and an unforgivable act. He saw a life on the other side with his beliefs and he wanted to share it with Luke.”

MOURNERS GATHER TO FAREWELL LUKE

It was at times hard to watch as both Ms Batty and Gardner held back tears.

“It’s like a prison sentence,” she said of her former husband’s mental illness, “when does it end? But it has ended for me, it’s ended for me now with a cost that I could hardly imagine.”

Ms Batty said viewers would be shocked to hear that one in three women suffer from domestic violence and that she hoped by her speaking out, other victims would get help.

She added that she wanted her son to be remembered as a “sensitive, funny, fun-loving little boy.

“He wanted to be famous and I think he’s looking down and he’s going ‘I cannot believe this’, and he would just be in his own little way so pumped. He was a good little guy.”

Many viewers took to Twitter to praise the interview and Ms Batty’s bravery and Gardner for the interview.

WOW

Another child dies.......

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/australia/9721577/The-very-person-who-killed-him-loved-him

This story was breaking news in Aussie.

http://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/mum-rosie-battys-emotional-tribute-to-murdered-son-luke/story-fnii5sms-1226826548245

And it shocked me as I know this location in Melbourne. My son and I holidayed down there late last year and its my son's favorite place to go. I have made sure my own son didn't hear about this as I was worried it would upset him given he knows the Frankston area where this happened.

It was sad to read that this boy felt weight down by his fathers issues. I plan on doing a bit of a post about this with regards to my neighbors. But I get really sickend by 'adults' especially parents who put all their emotional baggage onto their children! My motto is LET KIDS BE KIDS. They don't need or deserve 'adult issues'. My hubby's ex-partner does this ALL the time. She expects her own kids to wear her emotional issues. And its disturbing (thankfully Judge Druce picked it up, god forbid he's only 98% useless).

If your a parent and you think your children are your emotional support. Then your an idiot- go get counselling from an adult- not your kids.

Kids have a whole world to discover, and they will have their own adult issues to deal with when THEY ARE ADULTS.

This poor wee boy knew his fathers issues and going by what his coach said it was weighing him down.

My neighbors daughter, god I really feel for her and I have been trying to do something for her.
If you don't get a chill run through you when you hear the way she screams, then you are truly not human. Or your clearly meant to be a Family Court Judge/Lawyer- because they are not human by a long shot.
