Attorney Kevin Patrick Seaver Gives Parents Tips When Dealing With Child Protective Services Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

Happy to host Attorney Kevin Patrick Seaver on the show to discuss the perils parents and children go through when dealing with Child Protective Services. Attorney Seaver is Owner-Operator at Law Office of Kevin Seaver in Boston Massachusetts. Studying Law at New England School of Law, he is a seasoned attorney practicing since 1991 in the state of Massachusetts.
Attorney Seaver discussed his first case coming out of law school, the case that no one wanted but this was the first of many successes. Explaining that CPS looks at the negative while the lawyer should look at the positives and that CPS uses the police to intimidate families for their own narrative.
CPS taking children out of their classroom to speak to them with no witnesses present is a violation of the child's rights. What a parent can do to help prevent this from happening is to write a letter to the principle that the child can only be removed from the classroom for educational purposes only or emergency medical treatment.
In order to be successful while dealing with CPS, Attorney Seaver recommends that a parent work hard, stay vigilant and NEVER GIVE UP. Muster the evidence and communicate with clarity with CPS and fight for your child and their rights.

Bill Edgett Shares His Journey Through The Family Court System And Parental Alienation Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Bill Edgett, from Grand Bay, New Brunswick, Canada. He shares with us his travels through a frustrating Family Court system and is well-versed in the subject of Parental Alienation.
The process for Bill began back in 2015 and he has not had a trial yet. Prior to each trial, an emergency motion has been filed by his ex for Full Custody of the children based on false allegations made to CPS. The commencement of investigations led to Emergency Applications to the Courts which had to be resolved prior to trial.
Bill finally has a 3 day trial scheduled for January 26-28, 2022. He has had numerous lawyers and also represented himself in Family Court Matters. Also, Bill was forced to sell his home and used his retirement savings for legal fees while trying to keep his children in his life. Fortunately all involved, they are. He has 2 children, his daughter is 11 and his son is 9.
We discussed what you can do if you are in a situation of Parental Alienation, recognizing early signs of Parental Alienation and how to correct these alienating behaviors.
Bill shared that being in the right Facebook support groups is extremely important and realizing that he was not alone in suffering through Parental Alienation and the Family Court System.

EPISODE 2 OF 3: Bill Coleman Discusses The Umbrella Of Parental Alienation Via The Family Court And The Genesis Of Parental Alienation Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Back on Slam the Gavel for EPISODE 2, Bill Coleman talks about how the Tender Years Doctrine helped to produce Parental Alienation by taking the child from the mother. (See episode Season one, Episode 22 with Michael Sayen).
Bill discussed Child Support monies becoming an issue such as, "if you don't pay, you don't see the kids," which also enhanced Parental Alienation further as well as false allegations on either the Mother or the Father. Bill questions why reasonable-minded people don't interject and stop this, but money plays the role in perpetuating the Parental Alienation.
Bill talked about his Family Court case being multi-faceted and how so many things come into play when a parent isn't allowed to see their child such as continuances and false allegations and the more time spent away from the child, the child starts to change toward the Target Parent. Family Court rewards the parent that alienates.
More Mothers, Bill said, must come forward with Parental Alienation issues to bring into the social arena. Encouraging women to get involved with Father's groups as they want Mothers in the groups to help take the lead and play a role in leadership in ending the travesty of Parental Alienation that is destroying future generations.
This disease of Parental Alienation was brought on because of the laws not being in favor of the Father, however it all started with the Tender Years Doctrine. Bill encourages that the Fathers need to back the Mothers to help end this systemic issue of Parental Alienation.
Children grow so fast, and in Bill's case he lost out on time with his children based on false allegations which led him into the criminal court arena. The proof of innocence is not grounds to overturn a criminal conviction, it has to be an error of law.
Bill talked about feeling suicidal but had to regroup and find another way for the children and their greater good, and suicide wasn't the answer. Money should not be weaponized in order to see your children. More to come in EPISODE THREE.....

Trish and Barry Guise Talk About Their Family Journey Through Family Court, Coercive Control And Parental Alienation Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Trish and Barry Guise joined us on Slam the Gavel to discuss their families journey through Family Court and Coercive Control.
Barry, born and raised in Calgary, graduated from the University of Calgary, and has had a career in the finance industry – the last 15 years with a local Bank where he ran the Treasury and Finance departments.
After divorcing his first wife, he found himself the target of alienation which resulted in being abruptly ripped away from his young son’s life. Realizing that the legal system had failed to protect the relationship with his son, he resigned himself to the fact he may never see his son again. However, his parents were “allowed” to see their grandchild. This was because the ex-wife had carefully coached their son to think that he was “scared” of his father and only “partly scared” to see the grandparents.
After receiving information about his son from his parents it felt like he was only deserving of a “report card." There were days when it felt like not receiving any information about his son was the least painful alternative.
Trish and Barry had dated when they were teenagers. A few years after being the target of alienation, Trish and Barry reunited. All seemed to be going well between with the two of them and Trish’s two children. What nobody realized is that under the surface, Trish’s ex-husband was carefully planning and executing a targeted alienation strategy of his own – with Barry as the target.
His situation of twice being the target of an alienating parent, one female and one male, is hopefully unique. However, his experience brings to light the fact that, although the stats may not reflect it, men are also the victims of coercive abuse.
A reason this may not be reflected in the stats is that many men don’t report the abuse as a result of the shame associated with the abuse and fear of a negative reaction (concern that others may think he did something to deserve to be the target of alienation).
Historically men are in a quandary when understanding and processing their feelings. Far too often men are rewarded for not crying, being tough and displaying anger and labeled as soft or weak when they display true feelings (other than anger).
After countless hours of counseling, Barry was able to start being honest about his own feelings. This opened up a world with much less weight on his shoulders. He realized he didn’t have to “like” everything, not everyday was “great”, some things were awful, and some days did really suck.
Amazingly, some 12 years after having his son abruptly ripped from my life, his son reappeared back into Barry's life – almost as abruptly.
It is difficult to describe the roller coaster of emotions Barry experienced in each situation. However, if he had to come up with 1 or 2 words to describe how he felt, they would be as follows: 1) Being the target of alienation by the ex-wife: Anger and resentment. 2) Being the target of alienation the second time, this time from Trish’s ex-husband: Anger and guilt. 3) Being reunited with his son: resentment and anxiety. Barry is grateful that he spent all those hours with his counsellor. Being able to honestly acknowledge and process his feelings was a tremendous help during this time and still is.

Mark T. Andrews Tells It All On Parental Alienation, Fraud On The Court And What Can Be Done Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Mark T. Andrews as he walks us through his journey through Family Court, the loss of his children and fraud on the court.
Mark is a father of two and part of the abusive Family Court Legal System. He is also a 13- year veteran and licensed officer of the court, known as a Process Server working for hundreds of lawyers, 15 investigators and three judges.
Mark T. Andrews is also the man who submitted the Family Court Whistleblower Complaint to the Congress through Congressman Mark DeSaulnier and Ro Khanna. They then submitted it to the overbite and reform committee. This is NOW opening up talks regarding Family Court Reform.
There was also a Federal Civil Rights Case Mark filed, 17-cv-00252. Apparently, Federal Judge William Orrick, III (also the judge that handled the First Trump Travel Ban), ruled on his case that said judges have absolute immunity from suit even though VIOLATING your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Mark's case has spanned over 18 years. He has been in front of 15 judges, 3 commissioners, 73 hearings and hauled into court 11 times by warrant.
He hasn't seen his kiddos for less than one months worth of hours. In all this time, his ex-wife has never once been held accountable for not showing up with the kids.
The kids haven't been allowed to come over for visits in the summer, nor has their father been allowed to take his son to a football game. He has had to visit in a four block radius in a town called Sonoma. NO PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.
Divorced since 2002, January 2004 was the last time his children came to his home. Mark has last seen his kids together the first week of April 2008. Finally, Mark last saw just his son for one hour in a therapist's office in 2012 costing $125.00/hour. Taken by FALSE ALLEGATIONS. Mark has lost a full two years of visitation.
We discussed case law, laws transcripts that have been changed and what can be done in the future to hold those accountable that do not follow the law.

Julie and Jim talk About Co-Parenting,Blending Families, Putting The Kids First And None Of Us Are Perfect Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Julie and Jim on the show to talk about successful co-parenting strategies that have worked for their blended families. Julie and Jim discussed how things were in the beginning when their children came together and all was going well and smoothly, but when they became engaged to be married the relationships with the children themselves and with their new additional parent became rocky.
Advice from Julie and Jim was extremely insightful as well as helpful. They explained that it was hard for their children to share their father and/or their mother, and how important it was for them to listen to their children. Children have their fears, Julie explained as she and her girls moved into Jim's house with his two children. Jim's children felt threatened that a new family was moving in their home and how would this affect their relationship with their father. Would they still have time with him or pay more attention to the new additions to the family? How would their new step-mother treat them? Sometimes the kids think that they can't talk to their parent and feel lost. It is very hard on the kids when they go back and forth between houses when all these changes are taking place.
Jim advised to be supportive to the children, level-headed and remain calm at all times. Also when the ex's remarry, be as positive and supportive of their marriages and not to say anything negative, because the kids will begin to build up resentment and placing blame onto the new parent. They both stated that it would not be good for the kids if negativity reigned.
Julie cautioned to not let words from the other parent upset you and not to take it personally, even from the child. Be loving and neutral as you can be and let the other parent handle a situation and not to interfere or put the kids in the middle.
Jim added that the Step-Parent should take a step back, yet be supportive to the Step-Parent as they ease into the blended family. It is very important to pay attention to your own children and that the family doesn't have to do everything all the time and to give the children some time to themselves. This is a fine balance.
The most important thing Julie and Jim added was not to badmouth the ex in front of the kids. Kids feel the stress when that is happening and may act out in various ways, such as cutting. Also , Julie recommended Counseling/Therapy for the kids going through this transition and if harsh words are spoken to quickly, to apologize explaining that you can do the best that you can. Mistakes will be made and every parent is human while trying to help their children adjust to a blended family.
Julie and Jim are very proud of their children now that they are adults and very productive individuals to society with a good work ethic. It was very important to them both that the children had a relationship with their grandparents and extended family members.
Ending the podcast, Julie has said that, "Love always wins."

Bill Coleman Discusses The Umbrella Of Parental Alienation---FIRST OF THREE EPISODES Aug 08, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel proudly introduces Bill Coleman from Great Britain. Bill Coleman was living in Waterbury Connecticut in 2002. After finding out his wife was having an affair, he then filed for sole custody of their two children on a particular Monday morning. However, the following Friday, only four days later, Bill found himself being accused of the sexual assault of his wife.
What ensued next was a custody case that went by the allegations of rape, which led to not only Bill Coleman's removal of his children to his wife, but into the realm of a criminal conviction. Even though passing a polygraph test as well as a sophisticated state of the art psychological and sexual testing of which he passed with flying colors, it was not admissible evidence.
The corrupt legal system twisted what was supposed to be the truth into their own narrative. An INNOCENT man sent to prison for eleven years. Bill then had begun to protest being labeled guilty by participating in a hunger strike lasting seven years, and to this day still remains the longest hunger strike in United States history, while serving time in prison as an INNOCENT man.
Bill talked about the corrupt Family Court system as well as his fall into the pit of the criminal justice system. More to continue in the second episode....

Michael Sayen, Author, Warns Of The History, "WOE OF THE WEDDING BAND" Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Back on Slam of the Gavel, is Michael Sayen to discuss the new title to his book, "Remarriage and Adultery in the Bible,” as well as the history of the wedding band. Michael discussed how marriages are based on English Law.
Apparently the wedding band was invented in Pagan Culture and brought over into the Jewish and Catholicism religions where they began using it in their wedding rituals. At one time, a "Bride Price," had to be paid to the Father, but throughout the years, now it is paid to the Bride herself.
This leads to how the Engagement Ring evolved. The diamond ring was formulated by a king, asking that a diamond be placed on the ring itself. By law, if a man breaks off the engagement, a woman keeps the ring and if the woman breaks off the engagement the woman returns the engagement ring.
Michael explains that the wedding band is placed on the finger of the left hand as it was believed there was a vein that led directly to the heart.
Within history Patreus, the latin form of Father showed male dominant society adding that it was a necessity for a man to be married. Also within history a woman had to be married by a certain age or considered an "Old Maid" and shunned by society in some cultures. Also, in Deuteronomy 21 if a woman was married and a "Bride Price" was paid by the husband and if he found out that she wasn't a Virgin, she was immediately taken to her father and stoned.
As time went on between 1969- 1980 the Divorce rate spiked 3-4 times. Then in the 1980's there was a decline of Divorce however, Cohabitation began taking place, as babies were being born out of wedlock. There are 40% babies born out of wedlock today. The history of the Coventure Law in 1850 is where the Wife became the extension of her Husband. In fact, as history has played out, the slaves were given Constitutional rights before women.
This was a much needed history lesson as to how the government came into families lives. There are 500,000 children in Foster Care in the US and worse in Europe as they are easy sexual targets. Who is to say how long child trafficking has gone on. Taking children without warrants and giving Due Process at a later time when Due Process should be the first thing they do.
Once the Government has the power, they will hold on to it and therefore families will suffer as they have been for years. There are no checks and balances in Family Court. But there is more......

Rosalind Sedacca, Divorce And Co-Parenting Coach/ Dating and Relationship Coach Discusses Dating After Divorce With Children Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

Rosalind Sedacca, CDC is the founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network, and is a Divorce & Co-Parenting Coach as well as a Dating and Relationship Coach. As a founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network, she does not focus her attention on providing legal advice. Rosalind agrees the system is toxic but specializes in helping parents make the best decisions on behalf of their children--before, during and years after a divorce.
Rosalind believes the earlier she can reach both parents the better chance she has at getting them to grasp the damage done by making serious divorce mistakes. She has a unique and effective way to break the divorce news with the kids. Also, Rosalind has success strategies for co-parenting long-term and use probing questions to get parents in alignment regarding co-parenting issues.
Choosing the right partner is the most important aspect of dating and to do it wisely as well as slowly. It is important to not rush into relationships as people may present a facade or an agenda and to look for red flags that may lead you to believe this person is not a good fit for your family. Breaking your past patterns is very important.
The decisions made will impact your children and it is good to ask questions of them as well and what they think of their new world after a divorce. Also, it is a good decision to involve grandparents in their lives so children will always know their family is still around even after a divorce.
Rosalind encourages parents to involve the school teachers, to let them know that there is a divorce taking place and to be aware of changes in your children. Some schools offer classes for children either going through the death of a parent and divorce.
Also discussed is a free e-book found onAmazon/ Kindle: True Love At Last for Women Over 40: Answers You Need for the Relationship You Want published by: WomenDatingAfter40.com

Patrick C. Beebe, PhD. From Michigan Talks About The Reality Of Parental Alienation Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Dr. Patrick C. Beebe , PhD. in General Psychology with an expertise in Parental Alienation. He had studied and researched Parental Alienation since the early 1990's.
Being a Navy Veteran, Dr. Beebe has experienced this first hand and the devastating effects of what a High Conflict divorce can do to a career, a new marriage/relationship, a person's health and to one's self-worth.
Dr. Beebe has become an expert in Parental Alienation in order to help others guide the choppy and rocky waters of this "Phenomenon," so they do not end up with the same results that has been bestowed on himself in an unjust Family Court.
Very quickly Dr. Beebe became knowledgeable about Parental Alienation, unfortunately in a courtroom prior to his PhD. Parental Alienation affects all classes, races and socio-economic backgrounds and is a global issue. We discussed the signs that children will show during the initial stages of the alienation and common signs of Parental Alienation that children will demonstrate toward a Targeted Parent. The discovery of who is the manipulating parent and who is the Target Parent suffering through the alienation leads to the discussion of Personality Disorders.
However, the suffering of the children is Emotional Child Abuse. As they grow into adulthood we speculated what could potentially can happen in their own relationships and lives as they themselves endured the manipulation and alienation to the Target parent.
