Destroying Your Ex Does Not Win Your Case - Episode 341 of the Divorce University Online Podcast. Family Court hearings are typically full of all kinds of mudslinging in both directions. Since we are in an adversary system and most people experience the law as “guilty vs innocent”, this may seem like a logical approach. But a Family Law Judge doesn't think in terms of “guilty vs innocent” so trying to destroy your ex in court doesn't necessarily solve your problems.

Her focus is on family and criminal law.    Today we updated the case from June 26th, where Judge Chad Gulstrom, really didn't want to hear what Attorney Niman had to say.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Olga Wilson to the podcast. Olga is a mom, an immigrant and a survivor of systemic abuse within the California family court system. She came on the podcast to speak on behalf of all parents suffering through this system who have been silenced, targeted and retaliated against for doing what any decent parent would do: PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN.     What Olga found, unfortunately, when she came to this country from Russia 12 years ago, she saw for herself the corruption, collusion and cruelty.  In Butte County, California, Olga lost custody of her daughter without a trial, evidence and without a voice. Her interpreter was giving wrong responses and calling her an "applicant," instead of a Petitioner. There were transcription discrepancies. Despite video-recorded disclosures of abuse, reports from mandated reporters and her own efforts to seek help, Olga was mocked in open court, threatened with jail and labeled a "vexatious litigant," while legally kidnapping her daughter.    The evidence has either been sealed, ignored or erased. The truth of this case had to fit a false narrative for the family court to keep the case going. To Reach Olga Wilson:   olgavwilson@gmail.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Raising a child now costs $319,000. Yet most parents are told to make it work with a court-issued child support number based on income and overnights.

In Episode 338 "Were You the One Doing Everything?" we will discuss how I often hear clients say they “did everything” in their relationship. What you may not realize is that doing everything is a trauma response. People who “do everything” also frequently over-commit , struggle to delegate, mistrust others, are perfectionists, and are reluctant to ask for help. Hyper-independence is a way of avoiding needing on others in order to avoid being hurt. It also makes you the perfect target for a narcissist.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Theodora Antar to the podcast. She is a law student, mother, notary, and nationwide legal advocate based in Connecticut. She is the founder of Pro Legal USA, a platform dedicated to exposing injustice and advocating for families impacted by corruption in the legal system.     Theodora's advocacy is deeply personal. As a mother of two daughters, Angelina (age 5) and Julianna (age 10), she has experienced firsthand the trauma of family court corruption. On May 25, 2023, her youngest daughter was illegally removed from her care in a Connecticut court proceeding overseen by Judge Jane Kupson Grossman, where Theodora was denied due process. Less than a year later, on March 9, 2024, her eldest daughter was taken by Port Authority Police at JFK International Airport after they enforced an unserved ex parte custody order, again issued by the same judge. Theodora has not seen Angelina since March 7, 2024, or Julianna since March 9, 2024.     Her fight for justice began after she reported the sexual abuse of a minor—a disclosure that led to ongoing government retaliation and a campaign of persecution against her by Connecticut authorities. For two years, Theodora has tirelessly advocated for constitutional rights, government accountability, and child welfare, using her legal training and personal experience to support others facing similar injustices.     Through Pro Legal USA and her public advocacy, Theodora works to shine a light on systemic failures, empower other parents, and demand reform in family courts nationwide.

Renee empowers parents to help themselves and find a shining bright light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.Her turning point was during her custody battle for her son, after leaving a relationship rife with mental abuse. As a daughter of a Puerto Rican father whose family sought a better life on the mainland when he was 12 and a mother who only later pursued her GED, education and hard work was impressed upon her. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, the perfect Catholic student, who ended up having a child with a cruel, covert narcissist (diagnosed). She had been a performance coach for a couple decades, and switched her career to help other women succeed in dealing with their narcissistic nightmares.Now she is focused on creating reverberating change in the new field of “divorce coaching,” as a custody consultant, Violence Against Women (VAW) Advocate, and a certified instructional designer, melding it together to allow abused parents to find self-empowerment again.The Custody Blueprint® (TCB) exists to prepare protective parents for court through Strategy, Mindset and Evidence and using truth and virtue even in the face of lies and manipulation. Renee finds that moms are dependent on their lawyers to save them, and they have no real sense of how best to present their evidence in court. What really sets her blueprint apart is focusing on the mindset of dealing with a high-conflict co-parent--both in a custody battle AND as a mom trying to co-parent with a damaged individual. She addresses the shame, the guilt and the helplessness through her TCB program.Learn more:thecustodyblueprint.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thecustodyblueprinthttps://www.instagram.com/thecustodyblueprint/https://www.youtube.com/@TheCustodyBlueprint
