THE ALIENATOR

I am an alienator. You know me well. You lived with me once and you witnessed my behavior patterns but you did not spend time studying and internalizing them. I know your behavior patterns better than you know them yourself. I know how to measure you, test you and control you. I know what your hooks are and I know that the depth of the love for your children is a weakness I can exploit. I am an emotional terrorist. I will terrify you into submission. You will do as I tell you to do, if you do not, I will take your children away.

I am an alienator, you didn’t notice that when we lived together but I began my work long before we went our separate ways. I created fissures and fractures within our family and I managed and manipulated reality, though for a long time you did not notice that.

I am an alienator, at times in the past you felt a chill wind blow through you when my moods changed as I raged and then sweet talked you to smooth the ripples in your growing awareness. My mind is distorted but the projection of shadows causes you to believe it is yours which has failed you. Eventually you came to believe that it was you and not I who was crazy. You shivered as I turned down the gas light.

When you appeal to the outside world for assistance I will turn my most charming face to the sun and open my arms wide and beseech them to believe that I only want the best for my children. I will widen my eyes and up turn my palms and say ‘what can I do when they don’t want to see you’ and suck into my airspace all those who attempt to bring change to the lives of the weapons I know I can use.

My children are assets, collateral, extensions of plans that I make to wreak my revenge upon people who challenge my views or attempt to remove the control that I have in my life.

MIAMI-DADE CIRCUIT JUDGE VICTORIA BRENNAN RESIGNS!

Judge Victoria R. BrennanJUDGE VICTORIA BRENNAN CONTRIBUTED TO CHILD ABUSE VIA PARENTAL ALIENATION BY ISSUING RESTRAINING ORDER ON INNOCENT MAN AFTER UNFAIR DV TRIAL. MOTHER USED FALSE POLICE REPORT OBTAINED BY MOTHER AT MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN VIOLATION OF FL STATUTE 741 AND 837. MOTHER COMMITTED PERJURY IN JUDGE BRENNAN’S DV COURTROOM. ALL MEN WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE JUDGE BRENNAN IN DV COURT HAVE LOST. THIS IS A BIAS JUDGE GUILTY OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION. Video – The False Allegation of Domestic Violence Epidemic Coming soon to every Florida Courthouse:

 

Judge Vicki Brennan, whose career has spanned being an Assistant State Attorney, Counsel to Governor Jeb Bush, and Circuit Court Judge, has resigned.

We have this confirmed from two separate sources.

Brennan suffered through a minor scandal this summer involving her actions in a personal matter in the Keys.

There are second acts in America, and Judge Brennan will certainly find her footing and re-emerge, as either the superb lawyer she once was, or in some other form of public service.

We are all human and we all make mistakes, and none of those things detract from our fundamental worth and value to ourselves, our family, and our community. Sometimes Judges and prosecutors lose sight of this. Only age and experience can allow someone to view an individual’s actions through the lens of time.

BRENNAN BROUHAHA

– Monday, August 15, 2016 –

Update: Take our new Judge Brennan poll.

This story was broken by David Ovalle of the Herald 

While angrily trying to boot her teen son’s drunk pals from her Key Largo home, police say a Miami judge used a metal pipe to smash the windshield of one young man’s pickup truck.
 
The episode led to a strange South Florida legal saga — for most of July, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Victoria Brennan quietly was facing an arrest warrant for criminal mischief in Monroe County, a period when she briefly sat on the bench presiding over criminal cases.
 
At a hearing last week, a Key West judge stayed the filing of the arrest warrant, putting the case in limbo after Monroe prosecutors decided to opt out of the investigation. Florida’s governor has now assigned Lee County prosecutors to review the case. Even if the case dissolves, Brennan could still face scrutiny over whether she properly disclosed to superiors and defendants that she was facing a criminal case while ruling on criminal cases.
 
On July 7, the Monroe County State Attorney’s Office “gave verbal OK” to have the arrest warrant signed, the report said. Key West Circuit Judge Timothy Koenig signed the warrant for second-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief. The warrant, however, was not — and has still not been — entered into the clerk of court’s system. It was unclear Monday why the document was not filed immediately, which is standard in criminal cases.
 
Rumpole says: Judge Brennan is a good judge and we hope she will remain a judge.
 
This however, is a lesson in humanity for all of us, including those of us who judge or prosecute others- “Let she who has not sinned, cast the first stone.”
 
We are all human. The best of us, have bad days where we do something, upon reflection, that we regret. Such transgressions should not prevent a person from serving and serving honorably when they have done so in the past. We hope this is quickly and amicably resolved.

Key Legislators Need To Be Re-Elected New Legislators Will Need an Education

Urgent support of key reform legislators needed NOW

You can help put the right people there!

Who will be sitting in Tallahassee?  You can help put the right people there!

Our mission this coming legislative session will be to, once again, educate educate, educate.  Politics are cyclical and there has been a major overhaul to the political landscape.  There is a new legislature coming to Tallahassee.  Republicans have their back against the wall, but should still hold ground.  There will be about 60 new House Reps and 10 new Senators that will need education from the ground up as to the need for alimony reform.
 
This can be an energizing moment for us if we double down instead of fading away.  We must support Senator Kelli Stargel‘s campaign and donate at www.VoteStargel.com.  If we show support, then she should support us once again in the Senate.  She has taken a tremendous amount of heat over the years of her support of alimony reform.  We have to ask her to continue to support us in the Senate.
 
We also must support and donate to State Rep Colleen Burton at www.ColleenBurton.com . Colleen has learned about this issue and is ready to, once again, support us.  She likes the challenge, but must get re-elected to be able to do so.  I believe David Santiago of Volusha County will help co-sponsor our bill in the House with Colleen.  He decided not to run for Congress because he didn’t want to get in the way of Rubio’s run and the fallout with other Congress front runners.  They will make a good team…if Colleen wins.
 

Nov 15th general election is big news for Florida.  Our State will have many newcomers and some old timers.  We will have our work cut out for us and will need to organize our districts and put members in charge of contacting the politicians in those districts.

Do your part today so you can enjoy freedom in the future.

Alan’s Message
Dear Family Law Reform Members:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  It’s amazing to me just how political our divorce law really has become.  It doesn’t seem that our law is based on what is fair, but instead who wields the most political power in our Legislature.  This upcoming session is going to be very challenging for alimony reform.  Key issues that our Legislators face will include economic development, health care, LGBT rights, education and the environment.  In order to get a bill for alimony reform in the mix, we will have to make certain that all of our key legislators are on board.
 
The November election will decide if the GOP maintains its super-majority hold on 80 seats in the 120 member House.  I have been following the trends, and I will tell you that I’m not all that certain that this will occur.  The outcome of the race could be swayed, in part, by how well presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump get their parties’ voters to the polls. If Hillary can win, and win by (a) two-, three-, four-, five-point victory, then a lot of ballot races may go Democratic.  Conversely, if Trump can keep it close or if he can win … then the opposite will be true and a lot of these ballot races will go Republican.
 
If you have been a part of this alimony reform movement over the years, you have seen voting occur on party lines, with a few outlanders on both sides of the fence.  Whether you personally vote Democrat or Republican, it is better for our goal of alimony reform if our legislature is Republican focused as many of the Democrats seem to have a view that entitlements are justified.
 
We have a proposed bill that has been reviewed and approved by the Family Section of the Florida Bar as well as many Legislators.  As a Financial Advisor and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I have worked closely over many years with leaders of the Family Section, our Legislators, and the Executive Board of Family Law Reform to help negotiate the terms, values, and ideals of this proposal.  While it doesn’t accomplish everything we want, it certainly provides relief and more importantly, gives permanent alimony payers hope for a future free from the bondage of their alimony payments.
 
We mustn’t let the political landscape stop our efforts for alimony reform.  If anything, we must push harder to show our resolve and our determination for reform. We can’t let the Family Section win by allowing current law to maintain its place in our society.  Change is necessary; change is needed; and change will occur as long as we don’t give up.  The highest court in the land is the land of public opinion.  We must make our voices heard and continue toward achieving our goal of alimony reform.
 
If we let up, we lose.  We will not lose…and we will not let up!!

“The Change is Long Overdue” ~ Florida Senate Bill 250 for Equal Shared Parenting is now law.

Permanent alimony, defined formulas are key points in new legislation

By Paul Giorgio – Producer

Justice Denied - No Jury in Family Courts - 2016

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Major changes could be coming to Florida’s alimony law.

Alan Frisher, co-founder of The Family Law Reform advocacy group, said the change is long overdue.

“I think our laws are really archaic,” he said. “We haven’t changed our laws for the last 50 years in essence and now it’s time to really make the change.”

Frisher said there are five key points to the proposed law. In addition to the removal of permanent alimony and the ability to modify or eliminate alimony at retirement, the bill also defines a formula judges must use when determining settlements.

“We want to be able to give judges discretion, but we don’t want to give them so much discretion that there’s no consistency from one sector to another, because right now there’s no predictability or consistency,” Frisher said.

Currently if someone paying alimony remarries, the courts can view the new spouse’s income as ‘family income’ that is eligible for an upward modification in payment.

Under the current law, modification is also possible if a payer earns a greater yearly salary. Payers cannot be brought back to court under the new bill.

A similar bill was vetoed in 2013 by Gov. Rick Scott. That bill had language that would have allowed it to apply retroactively. Scott said it would have unanticipated results. HB 943 has eliminated that language.
