Crazy Daddy

From 2004-05

Mother's solicitor argues father is mentally ill. Submission of Family Report and two psychological reports cleared father of any mental illness.

Final orders:

Father contact:
Alternate weekends Fri after school to Monday before school; each Wednesday during term time from after school to 7:30 pm; half of all school holidays - 29% of total time.

Mother contact: all other time - 71% of total time.

During the relationship father worked approx. six days a week to pay mortgage, wife worked one day per week.

Assets - house and superannuation:

• Mother receives 68% of assets $370,000
• Father receives 32% of assets $173,000

At time of settlement, $5000 of child support arrears were seized under a s72a application by CSA to the solicitors holding the property settlement.

Sadly for a country like Australia, this is pretty much the standard.
The woman accuses the man of being crazy, states that she is afraid of him, and that she fears for her children. She doesn't need any proof. She doesn't need to offer any reason. She is usually coached to say these things by social workers, state legal aid, or her own attorney.

The statement from the two court appointed psychologists above had no real effect on the outcome of the case really.
In my case, the magistrate simply refused to look at the reports from a psychologist and a federally-approved psychiatrist, and instead took obviously perjured testimony from my ex and her daughter, who was coerced into testifying by her mother.
Her daughter and I were never allowed to form a bond as step-father and step-daughter. Her mother was terrified that I would "drive a wedge between" her and her daughter.
The testimony was obvious because it was identical. And the statements were irrational. Even from that testimony, there were no grounds to remove me from my home and possessions for a year.

The prejudice of the courts at all levels can be used easily by a woman for extortion.

There are much worse stories. This is only the beginning. Some men have been prevented from seeing their children for 8 years or more. That's literally a lifetime in the life of a child.
Not only the men, but also members of their family are prevented from seeing their children. Tens of thousands of Australian children grow up under the onus of their fathers branded as perverts and abusers; prevented from seeing their extended families.
