Sharing Meehan Maloney Resolution 72 Child Safety First Priority

https://www.facebook.com/patrice.lenowitz/posts/1307605619367920

I'm in front of the United Nations with earthbound angel Jerome Jerome Elam, President and CEO of 'Trafficking In America Task Force.' Jerome will be speaking here on Friday on behalf of human trafficked boys.

We are pleased to share with you a new resolution introduced in Congress by Patrick Meehan and Carolyn Maloney, H.Con.Res 72, making CHILD SAFETY the FIRST PRIORITY in state custody cases.

As advocates, activists, and survivors, we know how the system fails abused women and children. But did you know it's intentional? Male entitlement, oppression of women, keeping vulnerable children in harms way, is all meant to profit the industry, and keep control of women and innocent defenseless children. Yes, it's hard to believe, but in 2017 women and children are still considered property of man in the United States, regardless of whether that man is a domestic violence abuser or pedophile.

But how would you know this?

You wouldn't know it, unless it directly impacted you or a loved one. For you see, there is no oversight of family court. Family court is not open to the public. Judges, lawyers and prosecutors have been instructed to disbelieve and discredit abuse claims by women and children. Members of the BAR association are told to "go along" with the status quo to "get along" -- putting women and children in direct harms way.

Which is why we won't give up till this injustice and insanity ends! The public can't protest what it doesn't know--so join us in shouting it out from the rooftops!!! Together, we Will make a difference.

Thank you Congressman Patrick Meehan and Congresswoman Maloney for making child safety a top priority!

Children's Court | Partial Custody Hearing

---

A Judge can schedule a partial custody hearing in your case, or it may be scheduled after unsuccessful custody conciliation, or after mediation on petitions to modify and/or enforce partial custody if no agreement is reached. A party requests a partial custody hearing after an unsuccessful conciliation, or mediation if appropriate, by filing a praecipe at the Child Custody Department.

Cases heard by the Partial Custody Hearing Officer (PCHO) involve matters dealing with partial custody/visitation only, or in special cases assigned by a judge, the PCHO may conciliate an interim or special relief matter.

In order to proceed to a partial custody hearing, you must prepare and file a pre-trial statement ten days in advance of the hearing date. The original must be filed with the Department of Court Records, a copy must be served on the other side and opposing counsel if represented, and a copy must be delivered to the Custody Department. The pre-trial statement shall include the following:

1. A narrative statement of the facts, which will be proven.
2. The current custody schedule.
3. The name of each person whom you intend to call at trial as witnesses, including experts, and a report from each of the listed expert witnesses. It is important to note that witnesses not listed to testify within the pre-trial statement will not be permitted to do so at the hearing.
4. A list identifying all of the exhibits, which you plan to offer into evidence. It is important to note that only exhibits listed within the pre-trial statement will be offered into evidence at the hearing.
5. A proposed partial custody schedule and proposed order.

At the time of the hearing, you may bring counsel if you are represented. The parties may come to an agreement or if not, the PCHO will issue a report, recommendation and interim order to both parties. If neither party files exceptions within twenty days, the order will become final. For more information on filing exceptions, please go to the partial custody hearing section of the custody portion of the Children’s Court manual.

Pre-Trial Procedures

Rule 1915.4-4. Pre-Trial Procedures.

 A pre-trial conference in an initial custody or modification proceeding shall be scheduled before a judge at the request of a party or sua sponte by the court and the procedure shall be as set forth in this rule. If a party wishes to request a pre-trial conference, the praecipe set forth in subdivision (g) shall be filed. The scheduling of a pre-trial conference shall not stay any previously scheduled proceeding unless otherwise ordered by the court.
 (a)  The praecipe may be filed at any time after a custody conciliation or conference with a conference officer unless a pre-trial conference has already been scheduled or held. The pre-trial conference may be scheduled at any time, but must be scheduled at least 30 days prior to trial.
 (b)  Not later than five days prior to the pre-trial conference, each party shall file a pre-trial statement with the prothonotary’s office and serve a copy upon the court and the other party or counsel of record. The pre-trial statement shall include the following matters, together with any additional information required by special order of the court:
   (1)  the name and address of each expert whom the party intends to call at trial as a witness;
   (2)  the name and address of each witness the party intends to call at trial and the relationship of that witness to the party. Inclusion of a witness on the pre-trial statement constitutes an affirmation that the party’s counsel or the self-represented party has communicated with the witness about the substance of the witness’s testimony prior to the filing of the pre-trial statement; and
   (3)  a proposed order setting forth the custody schedule requested by the party.
 In addition to the above items included in the pre-trial statement, any reports of experts and other proposed exhibits shall be included as part of the pre-trial statement served upon the other party or opposing counsel, but not included with the pre-trial statement served upon the court.
 (c)  If a party fails to file a pre-trial statement or otherwise comply with the requirements of subdivision (b), the court may make an appropriate order under Pa.R.C.P. No. 4019(c)(2) and (4) governing sanctions.
 (d)  Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the parties may amend their pre-trial statements at any time, but not later than seven days before trial.
 (e)  At the pre-trial conference, the following shall be considered:
   (1)  issues for resolution by the court;
   (2)  unresolved discovery matters;
   (3)  any agreements of the parties;
   (4)  issues relating to expert witnesses;
   (5)  settlement and/or mediation of the case;
   (6)  such other matters as may aid in the disposition of the case; and
   (7)  if a trial date has not been scheduled, it shall be scheduled at the pre-trial conference.
 (f)  The court shall enter an order following the pre-trial conference detailing the agreements made by the parties as to any of the matters considered, limiting the issues for trial to those not disposed of by agreement and setting forth the schedule for further action in the case. Such order shall control the subsequent course of the action unless modified at trial to prevent manifest injustice.
 (g)  The praecipe for pre-trial conference shall be substantially in the following form:

Case Records-Jen Winn

The "secret social file" is where they get to accuse parents of all kinds of shit...and they will NEVER face their accuser...because they are allowed by law to hide and lie.
How do you defend against allegations you dont know about? 
Answer: you don't.
And you wonder why I don't trust most lawmakers...
