Dear Father’s, Mother’s and Children:
If you are viewing this website that means that you are dealing
with what many educated Judges, Attorneys and Therapists say does not exist,
that it is junk science. The term that I am referring to is Parental
Alienation. As we all know Parental Alienation does exist and that it is a form
of emotional. psychological mental and sometimes even physical abuse
that one parent will put their child through in the course of a custody battle.
Whether they understand it or not or are even aware what they are doing it is
still wrong and in some states is considered a criminal act of child abuse
The disturbing case is that many attorneys will use some form of Parental Alienation to win their case for their clients. They will agree to file complaints of neglect and abuse such as mental, physical and sexual abuse against the "Targeted" Parent even though they know that it is not true. In even worse case scenarios some attorneys will go as far as encouraging their client to claim abuse and neglect just so that they can win their case; therefore becoming the perpetrator of Parental Alienation.
At the same time, Judges who are aware of what is going on often times do not care. They have more at stake such as being re-elected and looking good for their colleagues at the parties and events that they hold. Judges are aware that Parental Alienation exists but feel that as long as they deny it, it will go away. They accept these allegations of abuse and neglect as truths and they punish the "Targeted" Parent by withholding their visitations, custody and even taking away their overnight weekends. Even once it has been determined to be false allegations Judges refuse to reprimand the Alienating Parent and Attorney because they fear they will lose out on the parties, events and even their campaign contributions. So in that case its the Judges who become the perpetrators of Parental Alienation.
In 2010 I sent a link and email to each and every family court judge in the entire state of Nevada asking them to sign an oath that they would uphold the perjury laws in their courts and that they would hold those that commit it accountable. Each and every Judge deleted and blocked my account, not one judge signed the oath nor did they even visit the site. So once again, Judges do not care about the Best Interest of our children, we must make them listen and be accountable for their own actions in their court room.
Many of us seek therapy in dealing with our custody and divorce issues. Unfortunately when it comes to the Family Courts, we are required to see a court appointed Parenting Coordinators or Family Court Therapists. Who just happens to be a friend or colleague of the judge or your ex's attorney. With our own therapists we are able to use our insurance carriers, however with the Court Ordered Parenting Coordinators we are not, therefore causing even more hardships on the "Targeted" Parent. While in session and seeking someone to understand us we speak to our Parenting Coordinators and they often times make matters worse. Making off-handed statements that only infuriate the situation. Statements that I am sure each and every one of you have heard. "Why don't you think of giving up your rights to your ex and accepting visitation?" "Maybe your child would be better off if the mother/father has full custody, since you have to work so much." So on and so on.
Therapists do not care, they are not there to care. They are there to make the most money they can. In my history of working with the Clark County Family Courts I have seen and heard therapist who had committed exparte communications with attorneys and nothing happened to them, I have heard outrageous remarks about a person’s sexuality and their lifestyle and it was simply waved off by the judge and even been black mailed into seeing a therapist that if he didn't he would not be able to see his son.
In 2006 I started PASSAGE Group Inc after going to college to become a paralegal and working for attorneys here in Las Vegas. This was after being released from custody after serving 40 months on a 24-72 month sentence simply because I would not give up the right to my son. I have since lost my once great loving and caring relationship with my son, but feel that I must continue to move forward with my cause to help as many Fathers, Mothers and Children that I could. Now that it is 2013 we will be re-establishing our support group and hopefully getting our 501(c)3 Non-Profit status re-instated with help and support from our supporters. I see 2013 as a New Year to move forward with the cause for every Loving and Caring Father and Mother who have lost their child do to the miscarriage of justice. I look forward to meeting all of you as we share our stories and try to find a positive resolution for everyone involved to this horrible form of abuse called Parental Alienation.
Be strong and never give up the fight, with our support group you will be able to find those who share your stories and can offer you the tools you need to stand strong.
May God Bless and Keep You
Sincerely,
Shawn A. Evans, Sr.
