Slam the Gavel welcomes back Attorney Bethany Niman to the podcast. Attorney Bethany was last on Season 5, Episode 273. Attorney Bethany Niman is a solo lawyer with Bright Star Law in Idaho. 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.

Sarah discussed the current living situation of her ex and his paramour and the effects on the children, especially on July 4th, 2025. We also discussed the efforts or Robert Garza and his 12 Solutions That Will Solve 90% of the Problems You Are Having in Family Court (found on Facebook).

This week, Ang welcomes Claire Higham, an experienced associate solicitor specializing in family law at Slater Heelis. 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.

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.

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. These court actors destroyed the relationship with her children as she hasn't seen them in five years.

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.

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." When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Through driving Amish families to weddings, funerals, and reunions, Haley found a different kind of therapy, a reminder that connection, love, and loyalty are still possible, even after immense pain. Today, Haley remains hopeful. "Parental alienation tried to steal my children from me," she says, her voice thick with emotion. "But it will never steal my love for them." She continues to share her journey, you can get updates about it on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show Facebook page, through the podcast interview on available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Look for articles about her heartbreaking story in platforms like Medium, Blogspot, Facebook, LinkedIn and more. Her message to other parents suffering through alienation is clear: You are not alone.

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.

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.

Today we updated Marineka's case and how she is court ordered to go to Turning Corners, LLC (more like cutting corners) for counseling with her daughter, however the counselor has either canceled or called in sick, and on April 10, 2025 quit unexpectedly. 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.

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.
