Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, the world watched in disbelief as one of the most destructive storms in American history swallowed communities whole. Among those whose lives were upended was a woman named Dr. Sandra Speer. The storm not only destroyed her home, it unearthed emotional wreckage that had been buried for decades. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “Lake Pontchartrain was in my living room,” Sandra recalled. “I lost everything I owned, but what I didn't expect was that it would force me to face the emotional destruction I'd lived with since childhood.” In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. This is not just a story about surviving a natural disaster. It is a story about surviving life. It's about resilience after a profound life change caused by a hurricane and the lifelong shadows of childhood trauma. It's about rebuilding, not only a house or a career, but a sense of self, and learning to live fully, freely, and fiercely. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Day the Waters Rose, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Hurricane Katrina was more than just a Category 3 storm when it hit land near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, on August 29, 2005. It was a monstrous force of nature that ultimately claimed 1,392 lives and caused more than $125 billion in damages. It flooded 80% of New Orleans, displacing hundreds of thousands and revealing deep flaws in infrastructure, governance, and preparedness. Sandra was among the countless residents who lost everything. She was in her 40s, living a modest life with her family when the levees failed and water surged into her neighborhood. Without access to money, food, or medical care, she and her loved ones were forced to evacuate and relocate to Florida, beginning a painful journey of recovery. But Katrina, she says, wasn't just the storm outside, it was the storm within. A Life Already Marked by Trauma, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Before Katrina ever formed in the Gulf, Sandra's life had already been shaped by a very different kind of disaster, childhood trauma. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “I was sexually abused starting at the age of nine until I was nearly eighteen,” she said quietly. “There was verbal abuse, psychological abuse. I was never really safe.” These early experiences had a devastating impact on her development. As with many survivors of childhood abuse, Sandra struggled with relationships, trust, and emotional regulation as an adult. She carried the trauma with her, even if it wasn't always visible to others. The trauma was cyclical, passed down through generations, never fully named or addressed, until the hurricane forced everything into the open. The Catalyst for Change, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. When Sandra lost her home, it felt like the ground had literally and metaphorically been ripped from under her. But in that devastation came clarity. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “Katrina stripped everything away. It forced me to stop running, stop hiding, and start healing.” This was the moment she began her journey toward resilience. No longer just surviving, she began rebuilding her life from the inside out. It started with therapy. Then came education. And eventually, self-discovery and a career shift that allowed her to use her pain to help others. Her life change caused by the hurricane was not the end of her story, it was the beginning of something much deeper. Understanding Childhood Trauma Experts define childhood trauma as any distressing or painful event during the developmental years (ages 0–18) that can have long-lasting physical and emotional consequences. These events include abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, or surviving a natural disaster. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Trauma of this kind can affect nearly every area of life, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship development, and even physical health. And while children often try to move on, the emotional wounds can fester into adulthood, showing up in anxiety, depression, poor boundaries, or chronic stress. “The trauma didn't just stop when I turned eighteen,” Sandra explains. “It stayed with me, in my body, my decisions, my parenting, my relationships. But I made a decision: It would not pass on to my children.” With that powerful intention, she broke the cycle. Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. A New Purpose Emerged After returning to Louisiana, Sandra continued her education and earned her Ph.D.. She became a Legal Advocate, focusing on CPS and Parental Alienation cases. Though she's not an attorney, she serves as an Abuse and Corruption Expert Witness, working to protect families and hold systems accountable. Her career shift was a direct result of her lived experience. She knew what it was like to be failed by systems, first as a child, then during a disaster. Today, she uses that knowledge to empower others. She also authored a book, The Remains of Hurricane Katrina, which tells her personal story and offers insight and encouragement to others dealing with trauma, loss, and resilience. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “I wrote the book for people who felt like they were drowning emotionally, even after the storm had passed.” The Ongoing Work of Healing, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Healing is not a one-time event, it's a lifelong process. And Sandra continues to do the work. “I'm learning to develop healthier intimate relationships. That's something that was always hard for me. But I'm proud of how far I've come.” In her advocacy and public speaking, she often emphasizes the importance of seeking mental health care, especially for children who experience trauma. She advocates for evidence-based treatments like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and encourages families to ask for referrals through pediatricians, school counselors, or community organizations. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Not every child recovers from trauma just with love. Some need professional support, and there's no shame in that.” Reaching Audiences Worldwide, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Today, Dr. Sandra Speer is reaching audiences around the globe. She actively shares her message of resilience and recovery on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Social Media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Her interviews and insights have been featured on major outlets, and her story has been covered in numerous podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and other popular platforms. Through it all, her message remains consistent: “You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become.” The Legacy of Strength Sandra's life now serves as a living testament to what's possible when a person decides to rise after being knocked down, by people, by systems, by nature itself.

Navigating the legal maze of child support and custody can feel impossible... especially when the system seems stacked against you. Picasso Cognizance learned this the hard way when his partner's family took his son away from him at the age of two. Picasso spent the next nearly two decades paying child support, immersing himself in the world of parental rights, and being ping-ponged between agencies who made no effort to help him. Picasso opens up about the emotional and legal challenges he faced when trying to regain access to his son, and shares why he started Resolute Fathers, an organization dedicated to educating other parents about how to navigate these flawed systems.Topics include:Challenges of Child Support and Custody: Picasso Cognizance shares his personal experience navigating the legal and emotional difficulties of losing custody and paying child support.The Importance of Knowing Parental Rights: Emphasis is placed on the need for parents to understand their rights, state laws, and how the system works in order to protect themselves and their relationship with their children.Emotional Toll and Resilience: The conversation highlights the emotional hardships, feelings of frustration, and the need for perseverance and hope when facing a complex family court system.Advocacy and Support: Picasso discusses his work with Resolute Fathers, aiming to educate and support parents (particularly fathers) going through similar struggles.Encouragement for Constructive Co-Parenting: The value of cooperative co-parenting without unnecessary legal intervention is underscored as a path to healthier family dynamics. After the interview, Marc shares a tender (and hilarious) story of a 7 year old with big feelings. LINKSResolute Fathers (Instagram)Who's The Daddy?

Charlie McCready, a seasoned parental alienation coach, joins us to unpack the complex and often shadowed realm of parental alienation. Ever wondered how a loving child can suddenly become estranged from a parent? We navigate through the difficult questions and the emotional turmoil that alienated parents endure when they find themselves without the support of society. Charlie shares his deep insights and personal experiences, emphasizing that the pain of parental alienation can be as profound as bereavement, yet lacks the communal empathy often extended to those who grieve.Throughout our conversation, we shed light on the less-discussed pre-alienation phase, where one parent subtly undermines the other, setting the stage for more overt alienation post-separation. Charlie and I explore practical strategies for maintaining a connection with children who are being influenced by an alienating parent. Is there a way to bridge the divide when gifts are intercepted or dismissed? We discuss the power of preserving letters and cards—a testament to the unwavering love of a parent, waiting for the right moment to be shared.We also share stories like that of Emma, who kept gifts for her children to show them they were always in her heart. This episode is a heartfelt call for greater awareness and understanding of the silent suffering endured by those affected by parental alienation. We offer hope, noting that many estranged parents eventually reconcile with their children, and we invite listeners to share their questions or topics of interest for future discussions. Join us in this crucial conversation as we strive to bring parental alienation into the light.

     Slam The Gavel welcomes back Steven Wade, Family Law Specialist in the United Kingdom to the podcast. Steven Wade was last on the podcast Season 2, Episode 92 and Season 3, Episode 58, where we discussed speaking out on how to counter false allegations and how to succeed.      Steven suggested that when a parent is faced with false allegations is to answer, "It didn't happen, and then move on and talk about why contact is in the best interest of their child." Judges know people lie to them on a regular basis, some judges don't entertain them or they can order a fact-finding hearing/trial. Steven explained how long it can take to get into a hearing or trial.     The power dynamic of who pays for what and the Silver Bullet/false allegations and how things get worse when the criminal side of things into the mix. We also discussed the "Coercive Control Laws," which is a criminal offense in the UK but is also actually 'feeling based.'

Catherine Ellis of Pump Court joins host Mark Ablett for the triumphant return of the Family Law Podcast for its 9th series. This week, the topic for discussion is parental alienation, particularly in light of the FJC guidance issued in December 2024. The podcast talks through the guidance and Catherine gives invaluable tips for running a parental alienation case, or when not to run one. We also discuss the role of experts, in light of the President's decision in Re C and the timing and scope of any instruction in this context. The guidance makes clear that true parental alienation cases are few and far between, but in practice the issue rears its head on a near daily basis - not one to be missed! Hosted on Acast.

With over 16 years in the field, Claire brings insight into navigating complex and emotional divorce cases, from high-value financial disputes to sensitive children's matters, as well as IVF, surrogacy, and private adoptions. The conversation delves into Claire's unconventional path to law, her people-focused approach, and practical advice for anyone considering or going through a separation.   (00:00) Introduction and Guest Introduction (00:40) Claire's Background and Experience (01:56) Journey into Family Law (03:12) Challenges and Emotional Aspects of Family Law (04:39) Importance of Early Legal Advice (06:40) Misconceptions and Realities of Legal Proceedings (09:27) Initial Consultation and Client Rapport (17:32) Court Proceedings and Mediation (19:32) The Impact of Parental Alienation (20:28) Legal Aid and Abuse Allegations (22:53) Navigating Legal Representation (25:16) Modern Family Dynamics (26:58) Personal IVF Journey (32:55) Balancing Career and Family (34:02) Advice for Divorce Journey (35:50) Conclusion and Contact Information   KEY TAKEAWAYS Early legal advice is vital—waiting until communication breaks down often makes the process harder and more stressful. Every divorce case is unique; advice from friends or online sources can be misleading and unhelpful. Involving a solicitor does not have to make things adversarial—good lawyers prioritize resolution and keeping matters out of court when possible. BEST MOMENTS   “It's one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life... they say it's like a bereavement , when you go through a separation.” “Google is not your best friend. Lying in bed at three o'clock in the morning Googling divorces... is not the thing to do.” “Every case is individual and all the facts are individual to you.” GUEST LINKS LinkedIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-higham-b74b4837/ https://www.slaterheelis.co.uk/ EPISODE LINKS   Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too!   https://talkingparents.com/dirhm   If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

I've spoken with a number of fathers who have become estranged from their children as a consequence of the family court system and their exes' manipulative behavior. Dealing with parental alienation is a painful experience with few actionable solutions. In this episode, I share a technique that men can enact to combat this situation: the evidence box. This should help estranged fathers maintain a connection with their kids long-term.

The battleground of family court has become a dangerous landscape for survivors of domestic violence and their children. When abusers wield the controversial theory of parental alienation syndrome as a weapon, protective parents often find themselves losing custody to the very people they're trying to escape.Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer of Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, pulls back the curtain on this troubling dynamic, explaining how a scientifically disputed theory from the 1980s continues to influence family court decisions with devastating consequences. We explore how protective behaviors—teaching children to recognize danger, set boundaries, and seek help—are frequently mischaracterized as attempts to "alienate" children from an abusive parent.The stakes couldn't be higher. Research shows children exposed to domestic violence face staggering long-term risks: they're 50 times more likely to abuse substances, 74 times more likely to commit violent crimes, and six times more likely to attempt suicide. When courts fail to recognize post-separation abuse tactics—using children as informants, undermining the protective parent's authority, or manipulating children psychologically—they inadvertently become accomplices in continued trauma.But there is hope. Ms. Guerreiro shares powerful insights about effective interventions that help children heal, including attachment therapy, trauma processing, and teaching critical thinking skills about healthy relationships. She offers practical guidance for rebuilding connection and stability, from creating family traditions to implementing consistent boundaries that counter the chaos of abuse.This episode challenges us to reconsider how we protect our most vulnerable citizens, advocating for family courts that prioritize children's safety above all else. Whether you're a survivor navigating custody issues, a professional working in family services, or simply concerned about child welfare, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of these complex dynamics and the tools needed to make a difference.

It's a heartbreaking situation that causes unbearable pain for the victim, and for the kids. I'm talking about parental alienation. My guest in this episode is divorce mediator, Michael Cohen, who explains what parental alienation looks like, how parents might be doing it without even knowing, and specifically how it hurts everyone involved.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations. If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences. Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors.  More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.   KEY TOPICS:   ⭐ Why Are Fathers Marginalised in Custody And Court Systems ⭐ Emotional Fallout From Family Breakdown For Separated Fathers ⭐ The Stereotypes Of The Absent Or Unnecessary Father ⭐ Biological And Neurological Changes In Active Fatherhood ⭐ How Prejudice And Bias Shape Legal Outcomes ⭐ Weaponising Allegations Against Fathers In Family Court ⭐ Children's Long-Term Psychological Impact From Parental Alienation ⭐ The Empathy Gap Toward Men's Emotional Experiences ⭐ Why School Systems Fail To Support Boys Equally ⭐ Class, Culture, And Race In Fatherhood Stereotypes ⭐ Challenging The Traditional Masculinity Through Vulnerability And Involvement ⭐ Reframing Men's Issues As Human, Not Just Gendered Problems   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Ben Hine:    Separating Better App by OnePlusOne -https://www.oneplusone.org.uk/news/separating-better-the-story-so-far  

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Marc Fishman to the podcast. Marc was last on Season 5, Episodes 202, 224 and 240. The last time Marc was on the podcast we talked about his major victory in NY state regarding Parental Alienation.     Today we talked about how Judge M. Schauer refuses to recuse herself from his case and continuously disregard his ADA rights. Apparently Judge M. Schauer has suddenly become an M.D. and decides whether or not Marc Fishman is disabled or not. She is a heartless and relentless, poor excuse for a judge. The judicial misconduct board should have done something about "this problem" years ago. Marc explained his case and how he was treated by Schauer. Now he has to go to trial with this judge who refuses to recuse herself in his case of Parental Alienation.

   Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes back Esther Deutsch to the podcast. She was last on Season 5, Episode 255, where we talked about how conflict is good for the business of family court.    Esther broadened her story and explained how the judge ordered on the record  that she couldn't even reach out to teachers at her children's school.      "The intention is to completely destroy the relationship with the parent and child," Esther explained. She also explained that she was threatened with jail for posting on X three heart emojis (❤️❤️❤️) representing her children. Esther had already been imprisoned in one of the worst prisons (worse than Riker's Island), Nassau County Correctional Facility and elaborated on that.    We also discussed the third party parasites that would call her "dangerous," but would not elaborate in order to keep her from her children.

With a heartfelt shout-out to those who choose to distance themselves from toxic parental relationships, Brianne explores the complexities of family dynamics and the emotional toll they can take on children.Brianne passionately discusses the distinction between parental alienation—where one parent intentionally undermines a child's relationship with the other—and justified estrangement, which occurs when children make the conscious choice to distance themselves from an abusive or toxic parent.

Brianne reminds us that children are perceptive and deserve the truth, even when it's uncomfortable. She offers valuable insights on how to foster healthy relationships with our children, urging parents to look inward and consider how their actions may impact their child's well-being.Join Brianne on this enlightening journey as she navigates the murky waters of family secrets, honesty, and the quest for healing. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of parental dynamics and how we can all strive to be better for the next generation.

Family courts were designed to protect families. So why do so many survivors find themselves trapped by the very system that was supposed to protect them?   In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Charlotte Proudman, a family law barrister and founder of Right to Equality. Charlotte has spent her career challenging the failures of the family court system, especially when it comes to cases involving domestic abuse, sexual coercion, coercive control, and parental alienation. We talk openly about the real impact these failures have on women and children, and why change is so urgently needed.   Why is coercive control still overlooked in custody cases? How did parental alienation turn into a legal weapon used by abusive parents? Charlotte shares powerful stories from her new book, “He Said, She Said,” and explains how family courts continue to mishandle allegations of sexual abuse and emotional violence.   This conversation pulls back the curtain on a system that too often silences the very people it should protect. Charlotte and I talk about what needs to happen for family courts to finally center the voices of survivors, and how we can push for the trauma-informed change that families deserve.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Family Courts and Gender Equality 03:44 Systemic Failures in Addressing Domestic Abuse 08:07 Sexual Coercion and Coercive Control 16:07 Parental Alienation as a Legal Strategy 34:07 Mishandling of Child Sexual Abuse Allegations 40:04 Purpose of “He Said, She Said”   Links Connect with Dr. Charlotte Proudman: @drproudman on Instagram, X, and TikTok; https://www.charlotteproudman.com/team-4-1  (upcoming events for He Said She Said); https://www.amazon.co.uk/He-Said-She-Struggle-Justice/dp/1399612441Pre-order “He Said, She Said: Truth, Trauma and the Struggle for Justice in Family Court”   Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman   Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my on demand virtual courses here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! *Find Your Calm / Find Good Habits* http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Evelyn Hemphill (Season 5, Episodes 98 and 125) and Dr. Bandy X. Lee (Season 4, Episode 23 and Season 5, Episode 249).      Today, we discussed Evelyn Hemphill's first Psychological Evaluation, which wasn't good enough for the family court to fit their false narrative, so a Forensic Evaluation was done by a player in the court system. It ended very vague and just labeling Evelyn with "anxiety." But that's all it took to remove her child from her life, so the abusive parent could turn the child against her. Very in-depth conversation into the analyzation of two psychological evaluations which were enough to give Evelyn closure, as she was not the problem.To Reach Evelyn Hemphill:  Facebook: Evelyn Hemphill and Evelyn the Advocate, LLC, etadvocatellc@gmail.comTo Reach Bandy Lee:  bandylee.com***** Supportshow(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.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Divorce is never just about two people signing papers and going their separate ways and it happens everyday across The United States of America. It leaves behind broken hearts, broken families, and in many cases, broken bonds between parents and their children. Haley Straw knows that heartbreak all too well. Parental Alienation. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms "When parents can't see their kids after divorce," Haley says quietly, "it's like losing a piece of yourself you can never get back." The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Haley's story is not an easy one. After her marriage ended, she found herself estranged from two of her oldest children. One even assaulted her a few years ago, an emotional wound far deeper than any physical one. She missed family gatherings. Weddings passed without invitations. Birthdays came and went without a call. Many call it "parental alienation". Haley calls it everyday heartbreak. On her Facebook page, "Tales of Driving the Amish", Haley shares glimpses into this painful reality, refusing to sugarcoat her experience. “I'm not here to place blame,” she explains. “I'm here to tell the truth. And the truth is, parental alienation doesn't just steal your children, it steals your hope.” When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. In America, marriage and divorce are governed by state laws. With each divorce comes the painful negotiation of spousal support, child custody, child support, and more. But some wounds, like those caused by "parental alienation" aren't written into any court documents. They're the kind of wounds that bleed in silence. Parental alienation happens when one parent manipulates a child into rejecting the other parent. Sometimes it's whispering lies. Sometimes it's planting doubts. Sometimes it's simply disappearing with the child, making contact impossible. “You try to call, and they don't answer,” Haley says. “You send gifts and letters, and they never reach them. And you're left wondering if they even know you're trying.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Experts agree: the effects of parental alienation can devastate both the parent and the child. Children, torn between loyalty and confusion, often grieve silently. They feel guilt, sadness, anger, and yet they're trapped without the tools to make sense of it all. When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Haley knows this pain too well. “I wasn't just cut out of their lives," she shares. "I was erased." The signs of "parental alienation" can be hard to miss once you know them: restricted visitations, ignored court orders, relentless bad-mouthing, false allegations of abuse. Over time, the damage can become irreversible. Studies show tens of millions of adults and children across the United States are affected, cutting across all demographics. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. And yet, amid her heartbreak, Haley found an unexpected lifeline: the Amish. After relocating to the quiet farmland of Missouri, Haley stumbled upon a job opportunity unlike any other, driving an "Amish taxi". Her book, "My Journey into the Amish World (Tales of an Amish Taxi Driver)" which is available online tells her remarkable stories. In the Amish community, Haley witnessed something she thought she'd lost forever, deep, unwavering family bonds. "Watching the Amish families... it was healing and heartbreaking at the same time," she admits. "They don't just say they value family. They live it. Every. Single. Day."

Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes Esther Deutsch to the podcast. Esther told her story of the money courts ignoring child abuse, disregarding evidence and withholding her children from her. They don't care about her children's well-being and they disregard exculpatory evidence if it doesn't fit their false narrative. A child suffers. Esther hasn't seen her children in FIVE years.   We discussed the Thomas Valva case that involved Judge H. Zimmerman and other issues that went wrong in Esther's case that NEVER should have happened. Under a Gag Order, Esther speaks with bravery and heart as the First Amendment MUST be acknowledged.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Marineka Bowman to the podcast. Marineka was last on Season 3, Episodes 104, 131, 159, 160, 174 and 184, Season 4, Episodes 22, 48 and 61, Season 5, Episodes 149, 210, 238 and 248. HELLO DOGE.    Today Marineka updated her case on the child support that she tried to modify in the Supreme Court of Delaware. Apparently Judge R. Eckeard wrote back to her stating that the case is dismissed and there isn't enough staff....    Meanwhile, Attorney Laura Brooks stated in court, "I don't care if you can't provide for your child." Marineka collects $1,500.00 in disability, however Child Support Enforcement takes approximately $1,052.00/per month. How can Marineka or ANY parent survive on being extorted this amount of money, when the father has YET to provide any W-2's. They are estimating Marineka at an old calculation back in 2022, which is common practice in shady DR Units all over the country.    All Marineka wants is to SEE HER DAUGHTER. She is being kept from her daughter, however her ex wants to collect the money. Child Support really should be suspended in her case, if a parent is being kept from their child, and the target parent is being kept off the list at the schools as well. Child Support is WEAPONIZED. Marineka is leaving all of this in the hands of GOD.    To Reach Marineka Bowman: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com****** Supportshow(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/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Since Marineka pays the father child support, Medicaid is paying for this and apparently Turning Corners is also billing Medicaid. Hello DOGE. Judge Natalie Haskins is awaiting on her report that obviously she will not receive. This also means that Marineka has yet to see her daughter.    Marineka will not stop fighting to see her daughter who needs her. Marineka also described other incidents where the father had tried to obstruct her visits with her daughter. Judge Natalie Haskins must reverse custody for the sake of the best interest of the child. Their child isn't even on a second grade reading level, Educational Neglect taking place, and even Attorney Laura Brooks doesn't care either.   To Reach Marineka Bowman: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com****** Supportshow(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/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Natalia wants her passport back as well as her drivers license despite being in the arrears. She is paying an egregious amount of child support that should never have happened in the first place. The judge went by what Natalia was making when she had custody of their son. Also, the child support office went by what her ex had been making at one time. They have not corrected her error.   Natalia still hasn't seen her son as her ex has blocked ALL her visitations AND she doesn't even know where he is, yet expected to pay child support. Natalia and others are working to get bills passed to help protect parents and children, and Natalia went into detail about her filingsTo Reach Natalia: On Facebook or natalia.dalton@gmail.com***** Supportshow(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.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.
