 We WON Court of Appeals No. 58250-0!! Now reported at 174 P. 3d 1198,174 P. 3d 1198.  Further details at the bottom of Writ of Prohibition Against Contempt Prosecution web page!

   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!

For their sponsorship of Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox Sucker's www.paykids.com his Paykids Foundation, boycott the listed sponsors, including Art Van Furniture, Meijer Stores, Michigan State Medical Society (warning, the MSMS website does not like to let you out when you click the back button), SBC Communications, and Michigan Health and Hospital Association and tell them why you are boycotting them!  Go to the Michigan Enemies of Freedom Page and read letters by Stan Rains and Terry Lear for more information as to why, and read Domino's Pizza, Inc.'s letter to me in response to my concerns about PayKid's use of Domino's Pizza gift certificates as a prize in their loathsome Billboard contest, which was CANCELLED!!

    Not to be outdone, we are announcing our own billboard contest!

C Level Enterprises is to be commended for their courage, unlike Borders, in distributing father Kevin Thompson's book, "Exposing the Corruption in the Massachusetts Family Courts" in the face of Judge Mary McCauley Manzi's court order prohibiting its distribution.  More on this at the Massachusetts Enemies of Freedom webpage.    FathersUnite.org has a link to this page.

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!

 John Deal won big and is having a heck of a time collecting.  Perhaps somebody in Walla Walla can look up the case file and tell me what the Complaint alleged and what the trial court found that was worth $117,974.04.  Perhaps somebody in Kennewick can look up the case file and tell what allegations were found to be worth $300,309.33.  Perhaps Mr. Corkrum ought to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy before the new Bankruptcy law takes effect! (Unless he has too many assets, which might be why he has not and he don't want John Deal to find out about them!)  Can't seem to pay his taxes on time either.

Mia S. Danielson, WSBA another one who apparently is not listed by the Bar Association.  Is she Mia Mendoza?

Perhaps somebody can look up the case file and tell me what he did!

Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paige Louise Sully, WSBA 19518, Kennewick, Washington 99337 DOB January 14, 1964  Voted on September 14, 2004  Has not voted since.  Franklin County No. 99-2-50428-6 defendant civil along with Prosecutor Lowe brought by former deputy prosecutor Wood; 

Former Deputy Prosecutors

Lois M. Wood, WSBA 17878,  Subsequently suspended for two years for failure to file a motion for discretionary review on behalf of an imprisoned client after her personal restraint petition on behalf of the client was denied.  Franklin County No. 99-2-50228-3 plaintiff civil brought against Prosecutor Lowe; Franklin County No. 99-2-50428-6 plaintiff civil against Prosecutor Lowe and deputy prosecutor Sully; Franklin County No. 91-3-50052-1 involved party dissolution with children; Franklin County No. 97-3-50105-5 involved party dissolution with children; 

A little sympathy here for Ms. Wood.  Working in a law office we understand how it is working with some clients.  After leaving the Prosecutor's Office, she was assigned to represent a guy convicted of some crime and who was sitting in prison.  Looking at the case she decided to try a personal restraint petition, a Washington state sort of habeas corpus petition that can be filed in the Court of Appeals.  As with most criminal appeals, it was denied.  That happens.  So the next step was to petition the Supreme Court of Washington for review of the denial.  Probably a one in 50 chance of getting heard.  This is not a simple notice of appeal that can be whipped out in a few minutes or even seconds.  No, it is a brief that necessarily contains argument.  To draft such requires thought.  Think of the practice of appellate law as writing term papers for a living.  You might remember that it was a bit of work to do it in school!  However, no attorney can proceed on any appeal or review petition without the CONSENT of the client!  A guy in prison can decide to dispense with the process and do his time.  There are 30 days after a final decision of the Court of Appeals to petition the Supreme Court of Washington for review.  Ideally, a client decides right away to let his attorney start drafting the petition or to tell her that she need not bother.  But sometimes, the client hems and hahs for 29 days and on Day  30, he decides, "Yeah! File the petition for review!"  If he does not get that message through to his attorney, he is in prison, you know, communication with the outside world can be problematical, she might not get it filed on time and he is SOL.

We do not know if that is what happened here, I like to think that the WSBA would not impose a two year suspension upon an attorney whose client waited until the last day to make his decision.

There was a big dustup in this prosecutor's office reported by the Tri-City Herald in 1999.  Does Wood v Lowe et al, Franklin County No. 99-2-50428-6 have anything to do with it?  Lois Wood is mentioned in that article, an unconfirmed rumor she suggested non-attorney staff to file a union grievance against Lowe.  David Corkrum's suspension is also mentioned in this article.
