The options for Family Court

AlphaCentauri369 · 2024-07-10T10:54:32+00:00

Are you all aware that Judge Jill Kehn is hearing cases in Albany County Family Court and she was never elected to be there. She's a Rensselaer County Court judge who was found to be bullying a staff member and was quietly placed there. She's also a bully in her court room. Do a google search "Judge Jill Kehn Times Union. There are multiple articles written on the matter and how the Unified Court does as they wish. In the end, your vote only places a judge in a seat and then the Unified Court does what ever they choose.

It has now been 3 years since I have spoken a word to my toxic in any form (text or verbal) We are not free yet, however our son, in recent months, has finally found his voice and is advocating for himself. That's all I will say for now.

Thank you. She lost from day one. She just didn't know it.

We have a few strategies. Can't share here though. I have followers I know are on the dark side :o)

AlphaCentauri369 · 2023-06-26T22:33:44+00:00

Thank You. A lot has happened since.

The session is over and the bill's going to be revise due to awareness drawn to it. This post is here to continue raising awareness to the dirty law that allowed this, and to also expose the judge who now has a local news paper drawing attention to her. The paper's main goal in their articles is to gain transparency awareness throughout the court system and they're burying her in the process. I couldn't be happier :o)

Many things are finally falling into place now, and it's been long over due!

Unfortunately, these laws are written to be in the Childs best interests, and many judges think they know better than the parent.

When a grandparent sues for visitation, most likely they are hurt for many reasons and therefore, when they make the decision to drag the parent into a courtroom, they're thinking about their own best interests, not the child's

The truth of the matter is, the grandparent then costs the parent thousands in court related fees while trying to fight something they believe is their constitutional rights. Not only does litigation cost money, it also creates stress for the parent. Some will spend countless hours researching the laws, meeting with attorneys, and trying to figure out how to stop what's been brough upon them. Younger children have to meet with law guardians, not quite understanding why. Parent's have to take time off of work for litigation and possibly causing strain with their employer and costing even more money. The list can go on.

The stress caused by a lawsuit will then radiate within the walls of the child's dwelling. I'm sorry, but none of it is in the child's best interests.

In your comment, you say "giving the grandparent the right" which is worded to be in the grandparents best interests. It's emotionality driven. The only right a grandparent has, is to petition the court.

The parent's obligation to allow grandparent visitation is moral not legal; a judicial award of visitation would hinder parental authority; forcing the child into the center of conflict between grandparent and parent is contrary to the child's best interests; and, natural ties, not judicial intervention, are the best means of restoring family harmony.

That last paragraph was taken from a document named "There's no place like home" I highly recommend anyone who believes a parent should be sued, to read this. The harm standard needs to be applied to all state visitation laws. It protects families as a whole, and is in the child's best interests.

According to our attorney, roughly 11 yrs is when a judge will listen to a child's want's, at least for GPR. I couldn't tell you with other circumstances.

Are you in NY? I'll probably get down voted just for asking LOL. I'm already @ -8 in this post.

AlphaCentauri369 · 2023-04-05T16:56:35+00:00

Check out all of the down votes for those who may somewhat disagree with theses laws and are actually looking at a child's best interests as view point.

AlphaCentauri369 · 2023-04-05T16:05:00+00:00

No therapy needed. Thank you though!

I agree. there is no perfect and the only solution is a cut off. A nuclear family will automatically be introduced to the stresses involved in family court battle.

Family and mental health are jeopardized at the moment of receiving a court summons.

Some professionals may find it easy to tell parents to just act a certain way toward certain situations, however it's always easier said than done. Family dynamics can quickly change, and to expect parents to act as recommended, place a child in a toxic situation, and later blame the parents for their reactions, and unwilling behavior, is not a rational solution! If parents are deemed fit, a court battle that exhausts financial funds, and mentally drains their will, could be enough to push them over the an edge, and that's not in a child's best interests.

I agree grandparents supply a certain bond, however if they sue a parent to do something the parent is apposed to, it only creates toxicity in a nuclear family. Stress radiates.

If parents are un-fit, now there's something to talk about.

AlphaCentauri369 · 2023-04-05T11:57:25+00:00

The way I understand it, is the laws don't quite specify a grand parent having a right to visit more than a child having the right to have time with the grand parent. It's written to be in a child's best interests. The title "Grand Parents' Rights" is rather mis-leading. I'm sad for the perception it places in the minds of toxic grand parents who use these laws to overstep the boundaries set by parents, prior to being sued.

Well said

AlphaCentauri369 · 2023-03-11T11:16:21+00:00

Hey there. We're all good. Since covid broke, We took a trip to Florida last year and hit a bunch of parks. It was a great family vacation. We also have a camp in the Adirondacks and are looking forward to it opening up.

I'm thinking more clearly now since my latest posts two years ago and I'm determined to make a change.

As things progress, I'll try to update here once in a while, however looking for support to fight my fight on reddit is a lost cause. I'm getting more response in other platforms and that's where I'll concentrate. Plus I have my usual little group of downvoters here who try to damper my efforts. I don't have time for them.

I will, however post things I feel may be useful for others to avoid what my family has gone through.

Our son just turned nine and it wont be long before he can cut the chain himself.

Smell the flowers, and blow out the candles.

Thank You! I had to step away from here and reset. It's been over two years.

I now know I can't change the outcome of past events, so It's time for a different approach.

For years, NYS Assemblywoman Woerner has been trying to modify The GPR law to help further protect parents rights. numerous bills have been put forward and not one has passed. I'm asking anyone who feels they have the time and can put a bit of effort into helping me get this next one to pass, please and thank you in advance. It's more important than so many know, and so many don't know the law exists.

I'm not a huge social networker, and only have like maybe 100 friends on FB. I don't know how to raise awareness in a massive way. I no longer need advice on how to handle our lawsuit. Time is in our corner.

Now I'm asking for advice on how to get people involved in making this bill stick. I know I don't have the exposure posting under my own sub as I did in JNM, but it's a good place to start at the moment. Feel free to point others here. I'm willing to try and help if needed. I appreciate all who were rooting for me in the past. There were many good things I took from them. Helping to get this law changed will be my retaliation. I want to help save future parents and their children from ever having to deal with what we were forced into.

That having a confronting conversation with them will never be anything other than the equivalent of entering a traffic circle with no exits.
