I am living proof that custody rights can be taken by the courts without just cause.
I lost my joint legal custody at my October 1, 2004 contempt hearing below.
My
joint legal custody for three children was taken away by the court
without ever proving I was an unfit parent. My first court experience
was my divorce hearing; I never had been in a courtroom for any reason
prior to my divorce.
In Judge Grubbs October 19, 2004 Order below, the first thing mentioned is that my joint legal custody rights are terminated.
During the October
1, 2004 Contempt hearing testimony, according to the court
transcript shown below. was given by Dr. Jacqueline Hill that my son Brandon was thriving
under the care of his father, Bruce Ailion. Dr. Hill then stated "all three children are academically sound."

How
can my son be thriving and academically sound when he is being held
back a grade under the care of his father Bruce Ailion? Your comments
would be greatly appreciated, I would like to hear your responses on
this question.
When
asked "Okay. So just to be very clear, you would recommend that custody
remain as is" by my former husband's attorney, Dr. Hill replies"I have
no reason to recommend otherwise" (lines 6-8 below).
Then on cross examination shown below, my attorney David Canale
questioned Dr. Jacqueline Hill about her testifying that Brandon
was thriving educationally. When asked by Canale "You said he was
thriving educationally, I think is the word that you used.", Dr. Hill
answered “he’s doing all right in school, yes”.
So here Dr. Hill's testimony has gone from thriving to doing all right.
Is being held back a grade doing all right? What are your views on Dr. Hill's testimony? I would love to hear from you.
Then
attorney David Canale stated “but you are aware that, he in fact, he
had been held back a grade.” Dr. Hill answered “yes”. David Canale
asked "you are aware of that, and that happened in the custody of his
father”. Dr. Hill answered “yes”.
Then
David Canale asked “have you done any kind of follow up
investigation or had any contact with Brandon’s school about what his
performance
is like this year or last year?" Dr. Hill’s response was “I had some
contact, I think, but I
do not know if it was last year or the year before, but this year my
understanding is that he is doing well.
I check it by just asking mostly.”
David Canale asked Dr. Hill “who do you ask?” Dr. Hill replied “I ask
the father you know;
How is he doing and are there any particular problems at school? And if
there
were, and he wants me to investigate I don’t have any problem doing
that.” David Canale responded with the question “
but you have not specifically checked with the school or the school
teachers, or anyone like that?” Dr. Hill responded “no not at the
present
time.” David Canale then asked “so any information you have about
that actually comes from Mr. Ailion”.
Dr. Hill responded “that’s correct”.
So Dr. Hill
thinks she had some prior contact with Brandon's school. Then she does
not know if it was last year or the year before that she checked with
my son's school or teachers to see how he is progressing after being
held back a grade She is now in court to testify about a child's well
being, but for sure has only checked with his father recently about
Brandon's school performance. Dr Hill did not call the school to check
on Brandon's performance prior to this hearing, despite him being held
back a grade under his father's care. This is clearly not in the best
interest of my child.
In checking the Georgia State Board of Examiners of
Psychologists website, today July 7, 2013, I was greatly relieved when I found that Dr. Jacqueline
Hill’s license to practice as a psychologist has lapsed this year as shown
below.
At least for now, Dr. Jacqueline Hill can no longer be involved in any custody cases in the state of Georgia.
Under her license listing for Discipline History from the
Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists Dr. Jacqueline Hill has had
two Public Consent Orders where she was placed on probation.
The first Public Consent Order filed September 22, 2008 against Dr. Hill is
from an incident occurring
in February 2005 (four months after Dr. Hill's testimony in my case on
October 1, 2004) is below. It says that during child custody
proceedings Dr. Hill offered testimony about the children and their
educational needs despite never having met the children and never having
performed any diagnostic testing on the children. It also states that
on one occasion Dr. Hill allowed an unlicensed psychologist to perform
testing on one of the parents.
The Second Public Consent Order filed May 27,2011 involving Dr. Hill is below. Please read paragraph 3 below, it states from 2009-2011 Dr.
Hill was retained by several clients and guardians ad litem to perform
parental fitness evaluations, child custody evaluations and other
examinations for use in court proceedings and resolution of domestic
disputes. The Board received several complaints from these clients
alleging Dr. Hill departed from and failed to conform to the minimum
standard of acceptable and prevailing practice and care in her handling
of these cases. Dr Hill admitted to these Findings of Fact.
Please see
the May 27, 2011 Second Public Consent Order below and what action was taken against Dr. Hill by the
Georgia State Board Examiners Of Psychologists.
Despite the above testimony by Dr. Jacqueline Hill and my testimony at the Oct 1, 2004 hearing (shown in the court transcript below)
about my son Brandon being held back a grade (I also had the school records as
evidence) I lost my joint legal custody and had all my custody rights taken away by Judge Adele Grubbs.
My attorney David Canale asked me “you have included in your
complaint a count for modification of custody.
Now, are there any concerns that you have about your minor son, Brandon,
and his personal circumstances right now?”
My response was “Many. My major
concern is his schooling. And the fact that at the start of this year (August
2004 - May 2005 school year) he and his father did not attend the teacher-parent back to school night.
And I was there. He (Brandon) prepared a
book for me that I would like to admit. It’s
right underneath that paper, the yellow book about his trip to Florida.
And that it goes through all his conferencing
schedules, all the required reading logs, books that are to be read, and
tests
that are to be taken weekly, as to the accelerated reader program.”
David
Canale asked me “do you have any information.”
My response was “his tardiness at school, where he was held back after
he was put in the second grade. He had
started the second grade (August 2002- May 2003 school year) for a
couple of months and because of Mr. Ailion,
Bruce Ailion’s failure to provide his assignments weekly, all his
reading logs,
and eleven tardies the first two months of
school, they decided to put him back in first grade after two months of
school
had begun.” David Canale asked me “that
was in the previous year. Is that
correct?” I answered “that was correct”. David Canale then asked "Does
he have any tardies or absences, unexcused absences that you are aware
of?" My response was "He did all of last year, (August 2003- May 2004
school year) many." Please see my testimony below.
Diane
Woods was the original GAL during the divorce which was finalized in
March 2002 and Dr. Jacqueline Hill the court appointed psychologist who
performed testing for me, my husband and my children.. There was not a
custody hearing after the divorce was final in March 2002. At the
October 1, 2004 contempt hearing I was arrested in the courtroom for
the alleged fraudulent sale of my marital home the
Doral Property and
back child support that I paid and proved. I did not know that I had lost my joint legal custody until I received the October 19, 2004 Order.
For
over 20 years I had been a licensed real estate broker and lived in
east Cobb County. My clients consisted of the Department of Veterans
Affairs, the FDIC, law firms, doctors, major corporations, etc. I was
very well respected and had an excellent reputation in the business
community.
In my care, all three of my children had
excelled in school, sports, music and the arts. I volunteered at Sope
Creek Elementary School teaching art history classes monthly from
1996-2002 (my oldest son and daughter attended kindergarten through
fifth grade there). From 1995 -2001, I was at times a co-leader in my
daughters Daisy, Brownie and Girl Scout troop at Sope Creek Elementary,
from the time she was in kindergarten through the fifth grade.
Additionally, I volunteered at Dickerson Middle School monthly working
in the library from the time my oldest son Adam attended there in 1998
until 2001. My daughter was so advanced in trumpet playing that after
her second year at Dickerson Middle School they had her teaching
trumpet in the band classes at Walton High School. I was mainly
responsible for my youngest son Brandon winning the Reflections Arts
Recognition Program award for Sope Creek Elementary school during
kindergarten (2000-2001). He went on to compete for the Reflections
award for for Cobb County and the state level. During kindergarten
Brandon was also the Walmart poster boy for Garanimals, and his pictures
were all over every Walmart in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Brandon
also sang in a local group who was asked to perform on the Coca Cola
stage at the Macon Georgia Music Hall of Fame and at many fairs and
events. Yes, I am this mother mentioned above who lost custody of her
children. It is hard to believe. Nothing can be done to return all
those years I lost with my children after I lost custody. But something
can and must be done so other mothers and fathers don't experience the
deprivation and loss of their children when parental custody rights are
terminated by our family courts without just cause.
The crime committed against the parent who loses custody is described best by Dr. Karen Huffer in her book about Legal Abuse Syndrome (PTSD), and how it plays out after you've been traumatized. She wrote two books Legal Abuse Syndrome and "Unlocking Justice. The
targeted parent is often barraged with legal proceeding after legal
proceeding in courts that do not understand the problem called LAS or
Legal Abuse Syndrome according Dr. Karin Huffer. Dr. Huffer states
that" LAS is a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and is not a
mental illness but more like psychological abuse that is inflicted upon
the person causing them emotional pain, suffering and confusion". She
states "that LAS stems from corrupt or poorly managed court situations
that perpetrate and destroy another person with false allegations,
abuses by the courts or vexatious litigation's that are filed in the
courts". In other words she says it is basically, “psychic injury, not a
mental illness. It is a personal injury that develops in individuals
assaulted by ethical violations, legal abuses, betrayals, and fraud. And
it is the abuse of power and authority and a profound lack of
accountability in our courts, which compound an already stressful
experience.”
Joan Kloth-Zanard Executive Director and Founder of PAS Intervention and Dance to End Child Abuse has conducted research on the Affects of PAS on
the Targeted/Alienated Parent. According to Joan Kloth-Zanard “The
targeted parent becomes as wounded emotionally as the children. They
are forced to endure endless living deaths of their children who are
still alive but dead to them, and thus never have closure. This abuse
is then compounded by financial damages and worse,
corrupt/unknowledgeable courts that do not appropriately handle these
type cases. Parental Alienation is a devastating form of psychological
abuse. We know that it wreaks havoc for the children. But what about
the Targeted/Alienated Parent (TP)? How does all of this affect them?
For years we have talked about the psychological trauma and damages that
children of high conflict divorce must endure when one parent
deliberately impedes their relationship with their other loving parent.
The statistics, signs and symptoms are well documented. From emotional
problems, to substance abuse problems, to anger and low-self-esteem,
children of high conflict divorce are damaged by the psychological abuse
of Parental Alienation. But what about the Alienated/Targeted
Parent. This parent is being berated, ignored, defamed, slandered and
had the most horrific things said about them, must try to stand up
strong against all this anger, hatred and rage.”
Wendy Titelman, who lost custody of her two young daughters in Cobb County Superior Court has published a book Let My Children Go.
Wendy Titelman, and I both had Diane Woods involved in our custody
cases. Her book describes loss of parental rights (visitation) and
custody and I strongly recommend it for any parent who has lost custody
of their children. I refer to Let My Children Go often,
it has helped me a great deal. I hope and pray it will help others
realize that change is long overdue in our nations family court system
especially when it comes to parental rights and custody issues.
This
blog is dedicated to all those mothers and fathers who have been
unjustly deprived by the family courts of their basic fundamental right
to be a mother or father with equal custody rights. Depriving a mother
or father of custody over their children, for no just cause, is a crime
against children.
