PASSAGE

We all know the saying, Those who live in Glass House should not throw stones, right and we all know what that means. Fortunately that goes for the Family Court Judges as well. Recently in the news Judge Del Vecchio of Department K who is running for re-election has come under investigation for molesting his 14 year old step-daughter over 10 years ago. Then when she was 22 years old she went to work for him on his campaign and clerked for him.

Once again the sexual harassment flared up. Telling her that if she wanted to keep her job that she need to sexual favors for him. She was even forced to perform oral sex on. She had to be drunk to do so, she was drunk on the alcohol that Judge Del Vecchio provided for her. When she wanted to report him she was told that the investigation would not only be an embarrassment to her but that it would destroy her reputation......you can read this article at http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/category.asp?C=5548&nav=menu102_2

The sad thing about that is Judge Del Vecchio is running for another term in office.

Another judge who should not be on the bench is Judge Cheryl Moss....

TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU- HAPPY 2008

Now is the time to look back on 2007 and to reflect on our family court cases and ask ourselves, did it go as plannned, am I seeing my child more or less, was there something more that I could have done.

 Well if you do look back and your are disappointed by the results of last year, this is a new year and a new era for you to stand up and to do something about it. Stand up and fight for your child or children. Instead of walking away shaking your head in dismay or looking down in shame, hold your head up high, hike your britches up and get ready for a fight.  A fight like no other.

This is the year that you can make the changes in your case and in the relationships with your and your children. If you want to and if you are willing to stand up and fight for them.  Yes, that may be a harsh question, but it is also a realistic question.  "DO I LOVE MY CHILD OR CHILDREN ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR THEM?' or are you going to sit there...

Many times in heated divorce and custody battles accusations and allegations are thrown about the court room like ticker tape at a parade. Lots of it and just as messy.

The Problems that we face is that we dont know what to do. Do I listen to my plead guilty for something that I didnt do and throw myself on the mercy of the courts?  Do I take my chance in court and plead not guilty?  DO run and hIde from everyone because I dont want my child to be hurt in the legal process?

Family Court with all the divorce and custody battles can and often is a very messy and nasty place, but it doesnt need to be. As soon as we all realize that the lies, allegation and accusations that are flying abour are actually harming our children,  it will cease to be so rampant.  But it seems that some attorneys and judges dont care about that, they thrive off the drama, your drama and my drama.

Well my friends If you did not do what you are accused of, then by no means should you ever ever plead guilty. Believe me the courts will not understand and...

Evans v. Evans is the reason why I have started my support group and the reason why I have formed PASSAGE GROUP, INC., it is to let you know that I understand completely what you are going through and that you are not alone.  As you read this horrific story, think of  your own and of the attorneys and therapist involved and then tellyour own story.  You and I are protected under the First Amendment and Freedom of The Press.

Evans -V- Evans  D231806

Lisa V. Sibley-Evans v. Shawn A. Evans, Sr. began before the new millenium. 1998 was the year. We were getting a divorce and Lisa expected me to turn over all my rights to our son. Until 2000 she hounded me like a dog expecting me to break to give up on the one thing that I loved with all my Heart, my son. 

January 13, 2000, I asked Lisa to let me see our son and to drop me off at Red Rock as I was going to hitch hike to California. She picked me up and on the way I gave my son gifts and talked about the mountains. When we arrived to Red Rock...

How many of you had no one to speak for you when you were a child. Did you ever get to say what you wanted when it came to Divorce, Custody, Who you wanted to live with, Were you abused by the new "friend" of your parent.  Well, your children dont have a voice either, they dont have anyone to speak for them. That is unless you are willing to listen to them and speak up for them. They are talking (by actions) are you listening to them.

Do you know what your child wants, where he/she wants to live, what is going on at the other home? NO, Then you are not listening, if you dont listen then how are you going to be able to be your Childs Voice, or do you just assume you know what they want because its what you want.

Right now, during the time of the seasons, your children are speaking out louder than you may know, they are not telling you what they want for Christmas as far as presents and toys and money, they are telling you they are angry, hurt and confussed. For some this may be the first holiday they...

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES (CPS)?

To my understand CPS was created to protect children who are being abused and neglected.  Then why is it that I am continuing to hear stories of how CPS has refused to investigate a matter simply stating "We are not here to fight your custody battle" It is comments like that, that have me greatly concenrned for the very safety and well being of our children.

Yes we know that there are scary situations that are going on all the time. Children being molested, burned alive in their own beds, kidnapped across state line. Yet we are crazy right... These things are not really happening they are all made up so that we can get CPS and the Courts to help us to get full custody of our children.  

Sure there may be those that are abusing the system to try to get it their way, but what of those cases that are legit real case that are happening right under CPS and Family Courts noses. Do we just let the few fall through the cracks because others have cried wolf or do we look at each and every single case IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD that is exactly what...

FAMILY COURT - in my opinion, is one of the most important courts of all the District Courts. The Family Courts is where the future of alot of children, who come from broken homes, start to shape and form. The decisions that the judges make determining if the children are to be with the father or the mother, if they are  even allowed to have visitations with their own children that is unsupervised visitation; plays a major role in forming our children’s childhood. 

THOSE of us who have been involved divorce and custody battles know the harsh reality of it all. Custody battles can last forever and can have very detrimental affects on not only the litigants but the children as well.

WE as parents would destroy anyone who would so much as lay one hand on our children to cause them harm, yet why is it that parents, in custody battles, think nothing of harming their children. Why do they find it okay to belittle them, cause them depression, anxiety, to have suicidal tendencies, fail in school and in society?

YOU may be thinking that I am crazy, “I don’t do that I would...

I have sent two differnt complaint letters to The State Bar Of Nevada against Attorney, (what a laugh) Carol A. Menninger, Esq., for her lying in court, accusing me of molesting my son and threatening to beat him with a belt. She then told my ex-wife, Lisa Sibley, that she could withhold our son from me, against a court order no less, and that she wouldnt get into trouble.

Attorney (and I use the term very loosely) Menninger is exactly what is wrong with our family court legal system.  She is told that she can march into Family Court yelling and screaming at the judge to try and get motions heard, no matter how frivilous, lie to the Judge and tell Judge Gloria Sanchez that she has a tape from Dr. Mortillaro stating that my visitations were not to resume, yet there was no such tape as Dr. Mortillaro never said such thing.

Now exactly who is it that has told her that she can do these things. The Judges, State Bar of Nevada-Glenn M. Machado none-the-less, and last and definately not least, YOU- when we refuse to stand up and tell the courts that we are tired of our ex's lying...

Recently I have had the extreme pleasure of taking Cooperative Parenting Classes with Jack and Carol Cathey at Human Dimensions. What the Cathey's were able to teach was invaluable and of great importance.  They have taught me how to deal better with my ex-wife in all aspects of dealing with our son.

Because of this class I have been able to see my son's needs and not my own.  My communications with my ex-wife has become more civil and calm and I have noticed a change in her as well. Not only is there a noticeable change in my self and my ex-wife there is also a great change, for the better, in my son.

Some of the many things that the class has taught me were:

• 1. Putting out the fires;
• 2. Communicating properly;
• 3. Negotiating;
• 4. Being able to communicate my feelings with out being accusatory, and ;
• 5. How to actively listen to what my ex is trying to tell me.

We know that our marriage is over and we may or may not ever become friends again but what we are and what we will always be are CO-PARENTS there is no getting around that at...
