Some Practical Advice for Support Contemnors in the State of Washington.
A Way to Walk a Mile in a Noncustodial Parent's Moccasins.
Please check out the litigation listed toward the bottom of the web page Knight v. State Writ of Prohibition Against Contempt Prosecution where I was forced to file a Motion to Modify Commissioner's Decision citing Antipeonage Act because the State of Washington imposed a court order that is a direct violation of the Antipeonage Act, requiring me to maintain at least 30 hours of work per week or make 3 job contacts. Therefore, I display my Brief of Appellant because this is an issue of extreme public importance for which the public should be aware.
My latest Reply Brief of Appellant provides the answers to California's Moss v. Superior Court, the Ninth Circuit's Ballek, and Hawaii's new Child Support Enforcement Agency v. Doe, No. 24457, (Hawaii, December 27, 2005) 109 Hawaii 240, 125 P. 3d. 461, each an obscenity against the Rule of Law.
Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court is considered filed as of the date I mailed it, August 8, 2007, within 90 days of June 6, 2007. It is docketed as No. 07-184.
One analogy to illustrate the absurdity of the proposition that choice of employer avoids finding of involuntary servitude is with Washington's Death Penalty statute, RCW 10.95.180(1) grants the condemned a choice: lethal injection or hanging. No one seriously argues that merely because the condemned has a choice in his demise, there is no death penalty. However, California's Moss v. Superior Court, the Ninth Circuit's Ballek, and Hawaii's Doe uses this precise logic: if the peon has a choice of employer, there is no involuntary servitude!
Patently absurd, of course!

The purpose of these Support Enforcement Justice Files is the same as www.justicefiles.org
However, I have been informed by the good folks at 0catch that the Social Security Numbers and the home addresses make them nervous, even though Judge Coughenour of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington found such to be protected by the First Amendment, where this information was obtained from public sources such as the County Auditor or Recorder documents, and from federal court, state superior court, and state limited jurisdiction court files. Sheehan v. Gregoire, (W.D. Wash. 2003) 272 F. Supp. 2d 1175. Social Security numbers are often found in parenting plans on file in the divorce cases. The Seattle Municipal Court has a public computer where one can obtain such information as date of birth, race, gender, and home address (at the time of most recent violation) of the party. They now place their Lookyup on the Internet! It is amazing how many people have had parking tickets issued by the City of Seattle over the last 40 years!
Some of these people actually allow their home addresses be listed in the public telephone directories, such as www.superpages.com and some of the lawyers list their home addresses at the website for pro.wsba.com. They have little complaint if I list their home addresses.
I corresponded by e-mail with 0catch on these matters. I proposed that I archive these pages with the SS #'s on my hard drive and then restore these pages to this web site with the SS #'s and home addresses removed. Mr. Shawn Heaton of Hosting Solutions Support Team replied that will be fine. I believe Hosting Solutions is the name of the corporation that runs 0catch.
The following is a memorandum that was posted on the Division of Child Support intranet for its employees to read:
NCP Web Site Targeting DCS Workers
[Posted: 3/26/2004]
After being informed about an internet website that
posts personal information about some DCS staff, we asked the Office of the
Attorney General to review this site. We asked them to determine what steps, if
any, can be taken to protect the privacy of our employees and remove personal
information from the internet.
Initially, the AG's Office advised us that they were concerned about the holding
of a Federal District Court case in Seattle that described a similar situation.
The Court ruled in that case that a statute that prohibited the publication of
personal information about law enforcement and court personnel could not be
enforced, because it was unconstitutional. Names and home addresses of law
enforcement personnel that are publicly available can be published on a website
and is protected by the freedom of speech First Amendment. (Sheehan v. Gregoire,
272 F.Supp.2nd 1175 (2003). However, after further review our situation may be
slightly different, and we were advised that posting social security numbers
probably violates the privacy rights of employees. We were also advised that a
website cannot be used to incite imminent lawless action.
Therefore, we are asking both the AG's Office and the King County Prosecuting
Attorney's Office to take a closer look at the website to determine whether any
steps can be taken against the author of this site to require the removal of
personal information. We will keep you informed of the advice we receive.
Meanwhile, the website provider, OCatch, has required the person posting the
information, Mr. Roger Knight, to remove addresses and social security numbers
from his website. He has done so.
Mr. Roger Knight has a long history of refusing to pay child support and as a
result his license has been suspended since 2001. Mr. Knight is a former Boeing
engineer who now works as a paralegal. He has filed many actions challenging the
constitutionality of efforts to enforce his child support obligation without
success. The posting of employee addresses may have been prompted by another
ruling against him last Friday, March 19th.
I believe the ruling they are referring to is Judge Richard Jones' Order Affirming Administrative Decision. You can find out more about that case on the Knight v. DSHS, Administrative Procedure page. The latest development:
On January 10, 2006, Department One of the Supreme Court of Washington, composed of Justices Alexander, Charles Johnson, Sanders, Chambers, and Fairhurst, unanimously ordered my Petition for Review deferred pending decision in Amunrud v. DSHS No. 76590-1. Two months after oral argument in the Amunrud case.
Success is a relative term, I beat five criminal charges for Driving While License Suspended. Is that success?
As far as a website being used to incite imminent lawless action, the Division of Child Support and similar agencies in other states maintain most wanted lists and ratlines where you can report noncustodial parents who are gone again Finnigans. This can cause the imminent lawless action of arresting a person with the intent to place or return to a condition of peonage, a crime defined by 18 U.S.C. §1581. "Arrest" means to threaten a person with deadly force if he resists, which is an act of violence.
We are just doing to them what they do to us, without the invite to rat these people out to any authority, except to federal grand juries. They just don't like it. If DCS employees object to personal information on a website, they must consider the personal information published on their most wanted lists. They call us deadbeats, we call them peonage criminals.

The neat thing about deeds of trust and reconveyances is that they bear signatures. Therefore, it is a simple thing to eliminate the wrong Kathleen O'Briens by comparing their signatures with the one we know is the Family Support Division Chief under Norm Maleng. When I cheerfully asked her, Deputy Sheriff J. Wilson told me the J. stood for Jana. Thanks to www.lbloom.net I know that her full name is Jana Marie Wilson. She told Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter Hector Castro that she sees the other side, single moms who really struggle.
Well Jana Marie, perhaps you are seeing both sides of the same inadequate coin. Oftentimes, the two parents simply do not earn enough money to support two households and will struggle. With or without you barging in and harassing the one who happens to not have legal custody of the children, and keeping him or her from having a life. We have adopted worldwide free trade without a planetary minimum wage. We allow corporate mergers in spite of the experience that such mergers, whether it is Boeing buying up McDonnell Douglas and Rockwell International, Amgen buying up Immunex, or Pabst Brewing Company buying up the Olympia Brewery, result in plant closings and lay-offs. Every single time!! We even have a German cement company buying up the cement factory in Newport, Pend Oreille County just to shut it down and eliminate competition. We expect parents, American Workers, to support their children, yet we do not lift a finger to preserve their jobs and income, Hey You! and I Could Not Pay.
Unless they're government employees threatened by tax cutting Initiatives. Such Initiatives get strict scrutiny from the Supreme Court of Washington but the Violence Reduction Act, the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, the Omnibus Alcohol and Controlled Substances Act, the WorkFirst Act and numerous other incredibly multi-subject bills passed by the Washington Legislature are upheld. To preserve the jobs of our public employees, we'll sell driver's licenses and Constitutional rights for federal funds.
Our friends over at www.jibjab.com have done the perfect parody with "Big Box Mart"
But, of course, it is the non-custodial parents' fault that we are unable to earn enough to keep up with unreasonable support orders. Meanwhile the wealthier part of our community has bid the price of housing up to unreasonable levels.
We don't suppose THAT is the reason that these single parents struggle, do we?
God forbid we ever realize that coercion at the point of a gun is ALWAYS counterproductive! Particularly when our despotism is alloyed with hypocrisy.

Allow me to let you in on a dirty little secret here. Consider this: Say you are a judge in Washington's court system. Or any other court system actually, but Washington is the one I am most familiar with. We all know about the incredible and universal gender bias in family law, and the absolute lack of respect for noncustodial parents as human beings. Observing this is like observing that the sky is blue. But it is just not credible that ALL of our judges are THAT BIGOTED. SOMETHING is placing the thumb on the scales of justice here, that is the only explanation that makes sense! And here is what it is: As a judge, you know that if you make a ruling that offends certain elements in our society you will be BORKED! In Washington, there are two primary means of borking a judge. 1) Putting up credible sounding candidates against your re-election when judges who NEED to be removed for their refusal to enforce Constitutional rights of politically incorrect litigants (meaning noncustodials and others) never face a challenger. Judge Jeanette Burrage suffered from that fate, and from her own foolishness in admonishing female attorneys for wearing pantsuits instead of dresses. 2) A campaign of judicial conduct complaints. Justice Richard Sanders has experienced this. Power Structure just does not like his dissents, but what saves him is that he is popular with the voting public, the only thing that comes even close to frightening the Power Structure. Notice I use capital letters. Everyone in Washington smarter and more observant than a doorknob knows we have one, even if we cannot "prove" it. An organization with access to, say, numerous divorce files without having to spend hours at the courthouse looking them up, would be in a perfect position to organize a CAMPAIGN of Judicial Conduct Commission complaints against a judge who pissed them off. Litigants in these divorces unhappy with this particular judge will be happy to fill out and file these complaints when prompted. And because judicial conduct complaints are mostly SECRET, we do not know and cannot verify, if there is ACTUALLY A CAMPAIGN of such complaints against a particular judge. Because every judge is a human being, and therefore not perfect, there will be at least one incident described in these complaints, where the judge messed up bad enough to warrant discipline!
Same thing with lawyers, which might explain their fear of FORCEFULLY representing noncustodial parents and even to mention the Antipeonage Act in the same context as family law.
So what do we do? Answer is to realize that the thumb on the scales of justice is political, and is motivated by some unreasoning hatred of noncustodial parents, and/or the Seven Deadly Sins including avarice (fancy word for greed) and there is only one thing we NEED to do in ADDITION to everything else we do: Put OUR thumb on the other side of the scales of justice.
Judicial Conduct Commission complaints, folks. Bar complaints against support enforcer attorneys. EVERY time they give you cause to file such complaints! Clue: What works are lies, excuse me, "misstatements of fact" ;-), told by attorney to court that were uncorrected and repeated after you asserted that the truth is otherwise. Back it up with evidence. That gets the disciplinary counsel fired up!
