As Someone who has witnessed Parental Alienation first hand which in essence for me means in spite of a prolonged Family Court case causing me to ultimately go bankrupt, having located a second family home within 1/2 a mile of the former one and mid-way between both schools as well as doing all the judge told me to, my ex partner still could wilfully withhold my children!
During the unraveling of the perfectly sound Court order of 2004, in the following year I came before the Anne Robinson lookalike once again (Her Honour Judge..but believe me she did not come from any oyster!) and was suddenly told if I wanted to see my children again I would have to go to an appointed psychiatrist paid for from the mothers legal aid at which point I asked the judges view on Parental alienation or Munchhausen's and was told she did not believe it existed and this was concurred by the mothers barrister! Yet when I quizzed the psychiatrist about it he said it very much did exist and having spent several hours in his office he forwarded his report to the court. I then learned it would not be admissible in court and this was because it put the mother in a more damming light then me (Can you imagine what would have happened if the tables were turned? they would have had a field day!) So was able to carry on seeing my kids for a further 2 years, but not with out some disturbance from the mother! (With holding my youngest on occasion, so making my eldest question should he come with Dad or stay with Mum?)
I am also reminded of a sports day around this time that fell on a Friday and the day I was able to collect my children from school for a weekend stay with me then return them to school on Monday! Afterwards as my son had collected his things I said off we go then, but the mother appeared saying he was to come with her to the teachers. So as to avoid a confrontation in the school I walked through the building, but as I emerged into the car park she appeared snatched the child and he fell to the ground crying, we were asked back into the school and ultimately the police were called, the mother suggested that she and I sat in an empty room and which ever parent the children went to is who they wanted to be with. I said I would rather leave now then put my kids through that, so did (sort of Biblical). 8 am Saturday morning she was banging on my door saying they wanted to be with me! Whatever was the point?
If I were to offer a website of shame : I would sight Ed Balls as not Minister enough to be in charge of CSF, Justice Minister Jack Straw has done just one thing to reform (open) Family Court and that failed at the first hurdle. Straw's Predecessor Lord Falconer did nothing but was happy to enjoy the privilege along with Lord Justice Ward (pictured above left) Lord Justice Wall and Lord Justice Woolf who's favorite charity is to advocate more funding for McKenzie friends! They too should be reminded that it is the children who suffer each and everyday because of their failure!!!
