Understanding the Management of High-Conflict Custody Litigation in the Age of the Autocratic Family Court
Fighting Lawlessness with Law
The enormous credibility of the American court system, based on constitutional law, civil rights, and respect for the erudition and skill of the legal profession, is in a state of misguided trust.
The family court system, overtaken by the greed factor and facilitated by the flow of federal funds under Title IV-D and Title IV-E to the states, has been further enabled by the U.S. Bar Association’s weaponization of the Gardner concept of parental alienation.
The unique application of judicial discretion in family court practice has created an autocratic conveyor belt for processing high-conflict custody litigation, inducing shock and awe into a captive audience of litigants.
The ability of judges to inflict maximum terror—through threats, intimidation, financial seizures, and imprisonment—assisted by the militarized deputization of so-called child protective services, state agencies, and lawyers bending the knee to judicial power, has invisibly immobilized the body politic.
The unquestioning acceptance of authority under “law”—without the safeguards of evidence collection, cross-examination, and witness impeachment—has created a chilling effect in family courts across the country. The legal process that should defend litigants has ceased to exist as a meaningful force.
Lawyers know they cannot win cases before judges who control the legal process, where discretion rules, and where their law licenses and incomes are at risk.
The Industry of Child Custody and Corruption
The atrocities committed by judges and their enablers have flourished due to the vast financial incentives enjoyed by those complicit in the industry of transferring children to the custody of abusers.
This system is upheld by professionals across multiple disciplines—facilitators from all races, creeds, and religions—who share the willingness to cooperate, coordinate, and lack compassion for the suffering they impose on the vulnerable families before them.
Combatting the Conspiracy of Silence: Defending Protective Parents and Vulnerable Children
Judges are not above the law!
One example is Judge Michael Maggio of Faulkner County, Arkansas. This once-powerful, highly educated judge specialized in terrorizing women and children who were victims of incest.
Judge Maggio engaged in extortion, bribery, and blackmail, taking kickbacks from nursing homes and manipulating adoption proceedings. He even enlisted other judges in his crimes, creating a criminal enterprise within the Faulkner County Family and Appeals Courts.
His downfall came through investigative journalism that relentlessly pursued justice. The result?
-
A ten-year federal prison sentence (of which he served five years).
-
The loss of his law license and judicial position.
-
Other complicit judges faced various levels of punishment, leading to significant reform within Faulkner County’s family court system.
Holding Judges Accountable
The process of holding judges and court actors accountable for crimes against protective parents and children is complex. It cannot be approached with the presumption of due process and constitutional protections as they exist in other legal settings.
Litigants facing coercion and threats to comply with illegal court orders must be defended by experts skilled in challenging, litigating, and prosecuting such cases according to law, evidence, and due process.
When protective parents are pressured to comply with harmful rulings that endanger their children, they must recognize:
-
They are in danger.
-
They must not ignore or comply with circumstances that jeopardize their children’s well-being.
-
“Signal anxiety”—that gut feeling that something is wrong—must not be dismissed.
-
Taking action through education, legal counsel, and advocacy is critical.

Impeachment of S. Jackson Testimony
It is of critical importance that this court be notified that evidence being submitted by Steven Jackson, Dependency Staff caseworker must be viewed with profound critical concern as complaints against Mr. Jackson are about to be lodged against him on behalf of the subject mother and vulnerable children.
Complaints lodged against Mr. Jackson are based on hard evidence collected and documented that will substantiate allegations that Mr. Jackson has acted more as a Bounty Hunter than a responsible investigator.
Documentation that must be introduced into evidence before adjudication transferring the subject children to the accused abuser of these children must be introduced and viewed by MD Forensic Expert Dr. Bandy Lee – CV attached for your review.
For the Record, Mr. Jackson is fully aware that the subject children were brutally
physically, sexually, emotionally attacked by their father, they are witnesses to the abuse suffered by their mother at the hands of their father and that claims that indicate “low level parenting skills” are not simply ludicrous, but lies concocted for reasons that the defense of this client and children will be made aware of.
Mr. Jackson’s tactics while in pursuit of the children and their mother, seeking to indict their mother and extended family as alienators and abusers, Mr. Jackson employed tactics that can only be described as threatening to neighbors, providing defamatory and slanderous commentary against those he accused of abuse. Mr. Jackson’s actions are captured on video tape and in statements of multiple individuals whom he sought to intimidate to accomplish his own ends.
Further, Mr. Jackson contracted with and communicated with providers who coordinated services and “explanations” defending the actions of the father and casting doubt upon the children’s clear and convincing statements. Further, Mr. Jackson engaged in methods of interviewing that totally undermined the ability of the children to speak freely and to trust him. Such tactics involved interviewing the children in hearing and viewing contact of their father and as per witness information, sharing and planning testimony to support the father with witnesses and experts.
There is evidence that Mr. Jackson attempted to undermine and subvert the presence of a particular expert in the case by submitting a false accusation/ statement to a state agency against an individual whose presence only Mr. Jackson would be aware of. Communication from that agency is now subject to investigation and exposure of the exact identity of a rather bizarre accusation which will be exposed and followed by further action .
The involvement of the Oregon Dependency Service is in it’s own right highly disturbing as the connection between this state agency and the flow of Federal Funding under Title IV D and Title IV E provides concerns as to the incentive of case worker Jackson as an agent to provide evidence that would support the flow of funds under terms that would be supportive of the suggestion that the children were being “rescued” from abusers and transferred to a “protector”.
The Rubio Case ( Grayson Briggs – Circuit Court Jefferson County – Case # 22 PR02164 ) of Oregon is illustrative of the fraud, chicanery and collusion between state actors and retained incompetent state licensed personnel.
Evidence in that case clearly indicated that state actors facilitated the brutal murder of a young father, who was exonerated of false charges of abuse.
The agency not only facilitated the murder, but they then participated in the defense of the murderess and transfer of the child. An abundance of evidence made clear that the murderess planned and carried out the brutal murder of this father as he came to pick up his child for visitation after six months of enforced separation from his son who was the subject of sustained physical, sexual, medical abuse by the mother and members of her family.
The Oregon State Dependency Agency was directly involved in multiple aspects of the case that maintained the abuse of the child, false charges against the father and then transfer of custody of the child into the custody of the
Mother’s family. The State agency maintained the legal custody of the mother so that she continued to control management and placement of the child through her arrest, incarceration and defense.
As per fact and well documented evidence, the murder was not based on any form of self defense or prior abuse, but to cover the intense pathology and criminality of the crimes committed by the mother and her family and the covered up by the Dependency Agency staff to suppress their own culpability in facilitating the crime that any competent forensic evaluator would identify as a high probability to occur.
Evidence of a significant level of fraud, liable, defamation, collusion engaged in by Mr. Jackson, his agency and other actors associated with this case exists and is in the custody of state oversight agencies and journalists who have been documenting and following this case,
We strongly suggest that this court immediately return these children to their protective parent, their mother so as to cease to inflict any further trauma and suffering upon these children.
Further, the tainted, fraudulent, manipulated “evidence” submitted by Mr. Jackson is strongly recommended to be carefully reviewed and subject to scrutiny before taking action that has immeasurable harm associated with acting on his directions any recommendation associated with him or actors associated with his agency.
