Plotting ex-wife gets 7-14 years in jail

False Allegations are running rampant in our family courts today and basically seem like "normal procedure" in many cases today. Until those guilty of lies and false allegations are prosecuted and punished, there is really no deterent. This prosecution of a liar and false accuser mentioned below is VERY rare!

(Brentwood, NH) Kristin Ruggiero will spend 7 to 14 years in state prison for what police say was part of a years-long ploy to use the criminal justice system against her ex-husband, who was thrown in jail and nearly lost his career during a bitter divorce.

Judge Kenneth McHugh said Ruggiero's attempt to set up her ex-husband and use the legal system as a weapon was unlike any other case he has seen.

By portraying herself as a victim, she duped local police and portrayed her ex-husband, Jeffrey Ruggiero, as a violent monster while the couple was going through a contentious divorce in family court, according to prosecutors.

Thought for the day....

‎"A child's self-image is planted in the cradle, grows through experience, and blossoms with PARENTAL approval and support." (Smalley & Trent).

Unnecessarily eliminating one parent out of a child's life, which happens daily in our family courts, is severely damaging to a child's self-image and well being. 50/50 custody IS in the best interest of the children when possible and should be the main priority and status quo.

Billionaire Is Sued for $400,000 a Month in Retroactive Child Support

Reasearch the Title IV-D agenda and learn the truth behind why State sponsored extortion is legal.

These two children (or should I say the mother) already received over 9 million dollars in child support (or should I say spousal support) when the children were minors, now she is seeking millions more now that they are adults. The reason? "he said, she said evidence", she claims the father orally agreed to having millions more extorted from him.

I bet California can not wait to get their first Title IV-D federal incentive (matching funds) check from this case!

When is enough, enough? Should rich fathers support an ex girlfriend and their adult children for life?

The suit, which heads to trial this week, was filed by two grown children
from a former girlfriend of Mr. Bren’s, Jennifer McKay Gold. According to an article in the L.A. Times, they are seeking
retroactive child support of $400,000 a month, even though Mr. Bren already
spent $9 million in child support for the two over the years.

Why are they asking so much? Well, the obvious answer is because the
78-year-old Mr. Bren is loaded, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $12
billion. Mr. Bren’s relationship with the girlfriend ended in 1997, and the suit
was filed in 2003.

"He’s paid millions of dollars, and now 15 years later [Ms. Gold is] coming out with an oral promise that she told no one about," Mr. Bren’s attorney told the Times. "She’s just trying to get more money out of him."

Same-Sex Partners In New York Can Be Liable for Child Support

August 5, 2010

"A New York state appellate court on Tuesday became the first in the state to
rule that a same-sex partner may be liable for child support."

Now why doesn't this surprise me?

We will see this happening eventually in all states.

Same sex parenting will become a whole new form of income for the Child Support gestapo.

Stimulus check may lead to life of poverty for father behind on years of child-support

Here's more of the same in the world of state sponsored extortion. No end in sight for many parents (mostly fathers) to pay off child support interest and debt.

WASHINGTON PARK -- Carnell Williams didn't know it at the time, but a $250
federal stimulus check mailed last year that he never got to cash set off
government computer alarm bells that may doom him to a life of poverty.

The stimulus payment, intended for people with disabilities, was
automatically applied to Williams' unpaid child support. That transaction
alerted state officials, who had not been aware that Williams was getting a
disability check. They quickly filed paperwork that led to regular deductions
for unpaid child support from his $1,062 monthly federal disability payment. The
debt includes tens of thousands of dollars in interest.

Williams stated, "This is a life sentence. There is no statute of limitations
on owing child support. There is no probation. No parole. No nothing. I'll die
in poverty."

Depriving Men of Constitutional Rights

by Phyllis Schlafly

Family courts routinely deprive men of their fundamental right to parent their own children by charging them with a wide variety of trivial offenses. Family courts generally uphold feminist demands to kick a man out of his own home, and take control of their children and his money, based on a woman’s unsubstantiated allegations. A major weapon in this ongoing battle between men and women who don’t get along is the Violence Against Women Act. This law was passed in 1994 as a payoff to the radical feminists for helping to elect Bill Clinton President in 1992.

The Violence Against Women Act shows the hypocrisy of noisy feminist demands that we kowtow to their ideology of gender neutrality, to their claim that there is no difference between male and female, and to their opposition to stereotyping and gender profiling. There is nothing sex neutral about this law. It is based on the proposition that there are, indeed, innate gender differences: men are naturally batterers and women are naturally victims. This law is not designed to eliminate or punish violence, but to punish only alleged violence against women. Most of the shelters financed by the Violence Against Women Act do not accept men as victims.

This law has been known from the getgo as “feminist pork” because it puts $1 Billion a year of U.S. taxpayers’ money into the hands of the radical feminists. They have set up shop in domestic violence shelters where they promote divorce, marriage breakup, hatred of men, and false accusations, while rejecting marriage counseling, reconciliation, drug-abuse treatment, and evidence of mutual-partner abuse. There is no accountability for the taxpayers’ money spent in these shelters. This law provides the woman with free legal counsel to pursue her allegations, but not the man to defend himself. He is on his own to find and pay a lawyer.

DNA says he's not the Father, but state makes him pay child support anyways.

California Courts Uphold Order Making Homeless Man Pay Child Support and Lose Inheritance.

State sponsored extortion and terrorism.

LOS ANGELES/EWORLDWIRE/July 30, 2010 ---

National Coalition For Men (NCFM) attorney Marc E. Angelucci reports that on July 28, 2010, the California Supreme Court declined to review a Court of Appeal decision that forced Hari Wilburn, a homeless man, to pay tens of thousands of dollars in child support for a child even though DNA excludes him as the dad and he never acted as the dad.

"This is totally unjust," said Angelucci. "It is wrong to force a man person
to pay child support for a child that is not his, especially when he never acted
as the dad."

Domestic Violence Center Shut Down for Being a Total Fraud

By Aimee Levitt
July 29 2010

A Fulton-based resource center for battered women has been ordered by the state to shut down all operations. This shouldn't be terribly difficult since the Battered Mother's Resource Fund (BMRF) never actually did anything anyway.

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said in a news release that the BMRF, which is owned by Phillip Baney, solicited donations to help victims of domestic violence, but never actually implemented any of the programs it advertised, including community outreach seminars, a national database of shelters and other organizations that provided assistance to battered women and children, a Mother's Assistance Fund and a ranch for kids who had been harmed by domestic violence.

"Most heart wrenching is that BMRF may have prevented domestic violence victims from reaching out for legitimate assistance by claiming that most domestic violence shelters separate mothers from their children," Koster said in the press release. "This is not true and it is a dangerous statement that could keep a domestic violence victim from seeking assistance for fear of losing her children. Every domestic violence shelter in Missouri accepts children."

BMFR's crisis hotline was not a total fraud, though it did not operate 24 hours as advertised, and the toll-free number shared a telephone line with Baney's home phone and Internet connection. It's staffed sporadically by Baney, his wife and a neighbor, none of whom have any training or experience in helping domestic violence victims.

Koster ordered BMFR to shut down its website and stop soliciting donations immediately. Baney has until October 31 to dissolve BMFR as a corporate entity.

BMFR's official domain name, www.batteredmothers.org, expired July 9, but it still maintains a site on MySpace.
