This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. When we revisit episodes we also take the opportunity to give them an audio upgrade.Today we look back at my episode on whether there is any accountability in Family Law.The episode originally aired as episode 49 on July 7th 2024 and here are the show notes from that episode:Many of us have ours and our children’s futures decided by the family law system, not just courts but other decision makers i.e. guardians, child solicitors, social workers, etc. In practise none of them are really accountable for bad outcomes and there is no measuring of outcomes. These are 2 serious flaws I discuss that in this episode. Sounding Like A 'Professional' PodcasterMost podcasts have a BuyMeACoffee link and ask listeners to write reviews.

War continues and we are in danger without passports. My co-parent and a UK judge has put me and our daughter in life-threatening danger.They are supposed to work in the best interests of the child. The pretence has gone there beyond any doubt. People have died locally and buildings have been hit. There are missle alerts and evacuation flights. The government here has been wonderful, unlike the negligent UK. Many people have decided the UK is more dangerous than the war.Whatever happens to us, the judge leaving us without passports, cannot be in the best in the best interests of the child. They clearly could not care less about our lives and neither could my co-parent. This is an episode of real-time X Spaces recorded in the last 2 weeks.

Show NotesOccasionally I want to look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. Today is one such episode. I wanted to revisit my discussion with Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro from episode 8. I hope you enjoy listening to it. It's one of my favourite episodes and even before today (April 14th 2024) is already the 8th most popular episode ever.It was a wide-ranging and interesting discussion with Dr. Marni who was a fantastic guest. I enjoyed talking with her a lot. Here are the show notes from the episode:In this episode we welcome Dr Marni Hill Foderaro and talk about her alienation story, path to growth and book series “True Deceit False Love” which addresses domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, parental alienation and intergenerational family trauma.Dr Marni earned her doctorate in education from Northern Illinois University and completed postdoctoral studies at Harvard during a very successful and rewarding 35-year career as a high school special education teacher, with 12 years as a university adjunct graduate school professor.Many alienation cases involve young children but Dr Marni’s children were in their 20s when alienation occurred and we discuss this.Her books provide a creative response and resources to help understand a variety of challenging family dynamics, including parental alienation. Dr Marni gives talks on these topics and in January 2022 Marni was inducted into the Bestselling Authors International Organization.I enjoyed greatly talking with Dr Marni. I found it illuminating to hear her inspirational story of self-care, her journey out of trauma and into book writing as well as her insights on healing, generational trauma and alienation.

This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. Today we look back at my episode on how incentives work against good outcomes.The episode originally aired as episode 37 on 21/1/2024 and here are the show notes from that episode:Many of us have seen incentives play out badly in family court, with solicitors milking Legal Aid, milking parents, parents making false allegations to get Legal Aid, prolonging cases and taking a case that could resolve amicably and blowing it out of the water to the detriment of parents and children.In this episode I discuss how incentives in other industries, and disruption to them, could improve things for parents and children if applied to family law. To illustrate this I make reference to episodes from Peter Diamandis' Moonshots podcast, which is fantastic and I highly recommend.Sounding Like A 'Professional' PodcasterMost podcasts have a BuyMeACoffee link and ask listeners to write reviews.

I have started doing short X Spaces, not in the usual way with guests, but as a short voice clips with just me. A full description of why is here:https://x.com/FairParentingUK/status/1949541228217016589I began this with episode 80 and I update it in this episode and I will continue as long as I am able. I feel the other parent will ultimately destroy me. I don't know why that is but it is clearly her aim and for 7 years I have lived in fear of her. My co-parent has abandoned her child and hasn't even called her since December - also no birthday cards, Christmas cards, no interest in her child's welfare, no interest in parental decisions despite requests for input, etc.My co-parent instead spent the last year taking my family's house and hiring an ex-soldier, also taking our passports and leaving us near a war zone - all when we had an agreement to parent in the UK. She walked away from that agreement but never said why. For all that time and she has an open offer to revisit that or try mediation again. Instead all actions for 7 years have been aggressive for no reason. I believe most people would be fairly terrified. My co-parent clearly doesn't want to parent our child but she won't let me and our child move on safely. Currently the risk of a regional war is rising again and my daughter has fallen ill. The UK and my co-parent couldn't care whether we are alive or dead and this has been the case for 2 years.The clips are recorded quickly and are not as slick or as high quality in audio terms as the podcast normally is but they form a real-time record of things. They are all available on my X account and friends are posting them elsewhere in case my X account disappears.

I revisit an episode I did about coping at Christmas. I replay this episode each year as it may help people cope with specific challenges at this time of year. Christmas can be a difficult time whether you are a targeted parent or not. This episode first aired in Christmas 2022 and it highlights 12 ways to help you cope with #ParentalAlienation or #FamilyCourtWe have episodes published and planned with experts in their fields to go into depth in specific areas but for now I wanted to give a quick list of many things you can try. In my experience nothing works all the time but many things work at different times and that's fine. As John Lennon said 'Whatever gets you through the night'.This is the seventh Christmas for my case. By Christmas 2018 I hadn't seen my child for over 2 months. It was terrible but, little did I know, the abuse was only just beginning. Despite a solicitors letter my abuser wouldn't allow even a moment with our child. Are abusers oblivious to the heartbreak that causes or do they revel in it?I am no expert in the ideas in this episode but I have tried many of them and found they help. This episode is just a quick surface run through which may provide you a springboard to try them or find out more by searching the internet or Youtube. Whether you are seeing your children or not, have a good Christmas. The system is broken and causes harm to us and the children but change will come in time. Parts of the world are improving so there is hope. Above all stay strong for your children. Many listeners are suffering alienation because a co-parent has taken their children. Others are going through divorce and suffering stress and an uncertain outcome. Many are suffering psychological abuse. If you are still living with your co-parent and are suffering physical abuse seek immediate help.If your life is in danger through physical or psychological abuse, assault or suicide please contact support services whether it is the police or suicide prevention charities. Do what you can. Look after yourself for your children.

Some people might see this as an issue for men but it is wider. I discuss how testing has issues for mums, dads and children, including how paternity tests can improve health outcomes for children.LinksI mention a recent video from a judge which went viral.

Show NotesThis is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. Today we look back at my episode with Raymond Hekmat. It originally aired as episode 24 on 23/7/2023 and here are the show notes from that episode:Raymond Hekmat is a lawyer and founder of Hekmat Law & Mediation, APC based in Beverly Hills. They focus on family law with areas including divorce, paternity, custody, support issues as well as prenuptial agreements.Raymond earned his Juris Doctorate degree from Loyola Law School in 2009. During his tenure at Loyola, Raymond was President of the Evening Bar Association, and was awarded the Alumni Association Governors’ Alumni Award. While earning his degree, Raymond worked as a law clerk, and later an associate, for a Beverly Hills family law firm.Later Raymond was an associate with Law Offices of Schuchman & Aldin in Century City, where he managed his own complex family law caseload, as well as provided assistance to the partners in family law litigation.He is admitted to practice law in California and is a member of the Los Angeles County and Beverly Hills Bar Associations.Raymond received his Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies, with honors, and a minor in Business Management from the University of California at Irvine, with study at the London School of Economics in London, England. He was also a member of the Division I UCI Men’s Tennis Team, and continues to play competitive tennis as a member of the USTA.Raymond was born and raised in Los Angeles and lives in West Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.Raymond also has the distinction of being the first lawyer to appear on the podcast!The discussion is wide ranging and covers topics including differences between family law in Britain and California, free speech and a refreshing take on why prenups can be a good idea for most, not just the rich and famous. One correction I want to make is, in this episode, I referred back to episode 16 and my discussion with Dr. Larry Waldman Ph.D. ABPP. I mistakenly referred to him as a psychotherapist whereas he is of course a psychologist. If you haven't heard episode 16 it's well worth listening to as Dr. Waldman had great experience and insights, as does Raymond in this episode.

In this episode I wanted to give one more in answer to the question: should interviews with family law experts be recorded? The answer is 'Yes'.To not have them recorded represents a serious problem in the robustness and integrity of family law in England and Wales. To have recordings is good practise and protection for the truth, good parents and children.

It originally aired as episode 33 on 26/11/2023 and here are the show notes from that episode:In this episode I discuss the current state of transcripts and bundles in the court system and how it hampers justice and reflects the prehistoric condition of family law. I give many ways things can be improved. We need a modern system not a Jurassic one because parents and children deserve better. I gave some other simple reform examples in episodes 2 and 32.

Show NotesThis is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. Today we look back at my discussion with Thomas Williams And Roger Isaacs about The THI Show and The New Blueprint. It originally aired as episode 23 on 6/8/2023 and here are the show notes from that episode:Today we are joined by two guests to talk about the law. Thomas Williams was born in Liverpool UK and moved to America in 2002. He is an avid researcher, author of two books called From His Story to Our Story, volumes 1 and 2.He is the owner of a charity foundation designed to help struggling people, the creator of a community village in New Mexico, a radio show host of the Truth, Honor & Integrity show, or THI show.He is the producer of a new document and manifesto called The New Blueprint for Humanity, which will be hand delivered to the White House, the UN, Elon Musk and many other prominent people.The website for that is thenewblueprintforhumanity.orgHis community also has working groups on growing your own food, health remedies and true law.Roger Isaacs was born in the UK and grew up in Cornwall. His family originates from Glamorganshire on his Mother’s side and Devon and Cornwall on his Father’s. At 17 he joined the Royal Air Force and worked as an Air Defence Technician for 7 years. In 1987 he emigrated to Canada to reconnect with his mother, sister and brother. In 1990 Roger moved to British Columbia where he continued to work in the Telecommunications industry and raised a family of 2 daughters.In 1990 Roger started training in the martial art of Aikido with Mind & Body Unified. He has been teaching Universal Principles and Aikido for over 28 years and is the Chief Instructor of his dojo and a certified full lecturer with the Ki Society International. Roger joined THI in 2017 and has been following Thomas Williams podcasts since then. In 2019 as he was studying law, he was asked to lead the Law Group in THI. His study led him to Frank O’Collins and Ucadia. He wants to share what he’s learned about the True Rule of Law, the provenance of modern Western-Roman law and why there has been no rule of law since the 16th century. He is passionate about encouraging people to study Ucadia, learn who we are, what is the true rule of law and how to restore the true rule of law in our societies. They believe to restore law, we must develop communities of trust and the Golden Rule that all are equal under the law, no one is above the law and the New Blue Print for Humanity is a step in that direction.This is a longer than usual episode and a wide ranging discussion.LinksTHI Show - https://thi-show.comYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFP7ftC6XfYyvhoJPCKP7ATwitter - https://twitter.com/THI_SHOW_COMUcadia - http://ucadia.orgAn older Ucadia site only available on Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20150208110726/http://globe-union-court.org/default.asp

I started doing short X Spaces, not in the usual way with guests, but as a short voice clips with just me. A full description of why is here:https://x.com/FairParentingUK/status/1949541228217016589I feel the other parent will ultimately destroy me. I don't know why that is but it is clearly her aim and for 7 years I have lived in fear of her. My co-parent has abandoned her child and hasn't even called her since December - also no birthday cards, Christmas cards, no interest in her child's welfare, no interest in parental decisions despite requests for input, etc.My co-parent instead spent the last year taking my family's house and hiring an ex-soldier, also taking our passports and leaving us near a war zone - all when we had an agreement to parent in the UK. She walked away from that agreement but never said why. For all that time and she has an open offer to revisit that or try mediation again. Instead all actions for 7 years have been aggressive for no reason. I believe most people would be fairly terrified. I am fearful. I have told her that many times. I feel most people would be. Whatever happens to me, I want the public and my child, when she grows up, to hear what happened in real-time. I want the truth front and centre. I also ask my co-parent to revisit mediation so we can come to a good and peaceful resolution for our child. All I have ever wished for is peace and safety. I hope she will revisit mediation. The clips are recorded quickly and are not as slick or as high quality in audio terms as the podcast normally is but they form a real-time record of things. They are all available on my X account and friends are posting them elsewhere in case my X account disappears.
