Do you know that certain judges in our Clinton County Courts can demand you appear before them without being accused of any crime ?
Do you know in our Clinton County Courts you can be called criminal and labeled a defendant, even though you have done nothing wrong?
Do you know in our Clinton County Courts you can have arbitrary orders placed on you that amount to a personalized criminal code ?
All of the above is not only possible, but very probable, if you are sued for divorce in family court through our current Michigan No-Fault divorce system.
Recently all this has happened to me. Here are some examples:
An arbitrary order is placed on me and my children to attend court appointed counseling sessions that I must pay for - and this same counselor – has declared that I am not fit to be the parent to my children.
Over the past 2 years, this same counselor has been so abusive and coercive to my 14 and 16 year old sons that they are fearful of facing him alone!
This Clinton County Court Appointed counseling is being done in the basement of this counselor’s Eaton County home, where you must walk through this man’s littered garage, down a flight of stairs to this counselor’s residential basement.
This counselor separates my sons, taking one of them into a small room, making sure a noise machine is running outside the door, to prevent anyone outside the room from hearing what he is discussing with one son, while my other son sits in this counselor’s basement.
There have been so many offensive and threatening statements made to my sons by this counselor that any father in Clinton County would be devastated – and yet I must endure this order imposed by a Clinton County judge and pay for my sons to take this abuse.
The purpose of this writing; however, is not to detail these abuses, but rather to pose the question: When these abuses occur, does a parent have a fundamental right and responsibility to protect his children?
Here in Clinton County, most of us would never believe that law abiding citizens, desiring to obey our laws and do what is right, could have our fundamental right as parents, to make the best decisions for our children, taken away.
Well now we can.... in Clinton County!
I am being ordered by the Clinton County Family Court Judge, Judge Rick, to force my 14 and 16 year old sons to attend counseling, with the above mentioned counselor, without any supervision.
This same counselor has at least 2 ongoing Pending Investigations against his licenses with the State of Michigan.
I am being threatened with jail time by Judge Rick for refusing to let my children be alone with this counselor, even though our family has already had a 15 session history, with this same counselor, that has yielded further alienation from my former wife and my sons' mother.
Parents, look closely at your Clinton County Family Court. If my acts of caring for my children and looking out for their best interests, are being considered criminal, to the point of being threatened with jail – maybe you could be next!
