Women in crisis need help from lawyers (Chicago, Illinois)
Women in crisis need help from lawyers (Chicago, Illinois)
Great piece by reporter Phil Kadner on the very real dilemnas that mothers and children face in leaving abusive fathers especially–but not exclusively–in Cook County, Illinois. Based on the stories I’ve been hearing out of Cook County for years, the cases he cites are the rule, not the exception.

Women in crisis need help from lawyers
August 8, 2010
BY PHIL KADNER
Sara’s unem ployed boyfriend, the father of her two children, had been beating her for some time.
One day, Sara decided she had enough.
She was financially supporting the household, the apartment lease was in her name, and she worked up the nerve to go to a suburban courtroom and ask a judge fo r an emergency order of protection and an order removing the man from their home.
Sara got the order, and another court date was scheduled to make the order of protection permanent, but this time the judge had a change of mind. He not only removed the order of protection but told Sara’s abusive boyfriend he could move back into the apartment.
Sara was obviously nervous and shocked to discover that the man who had been beating her was going to be living with her once more. She figured he was going to be more angry now than before and told the judge she feared for the safety of herself and the children.
The judge told her if she didn’t feel safe living with the fellow, she should move out.
That’s only one of several stories relayed to me by court advocates for the Crisis Center for South Suburbia. The shelter for women and their children is trying to launch a project to get free legal representation for those in abusive and often dangerous domestic relationships.
Mary Kay is a more typical example of the problems faced by Crisis Center clients. The south suburban mother of three children decided to leave her husband because of his violent and abusive behavior.
She was economically dependent on her husband, and he told her that if she ever filed for divorce or tried to leave him, he would seek custody of their three children. He was the breadwinner of the family, after all. He controlled all the money. She didn’t have anything.
Mary Kay called various organizations that provide legal aid to low-income people but discovered they’re overwhelmed by the numbers seeking help. That’s a complaint repeated over and over again by Crisis Center advocates.
So Mary Kay must endure a daily dose of increasingly vulgar insults as her husband realizes she doesn’t have the financial ability to file for divorce.
Like it or not, Mary Kay feels she is doomed to stay with her abuser. "Until death do us part" has taken an entirely new meaning in this marriage.
"If Mary Kay was able to obtain an attorney through our Pro Bono Project," a Crisis Center court advocate wrote, "she might be able to get the assistance she needs to make the decision of filing for a civil order of protection and/or filing for divorce."
The Crisis Center has seven court advocates working at the Cook County courthouses in Markham and Bridgeview, but they are not lawyers. They offer guidance and advice based on training but can’t act as lawyers in a courtroom.
In these economic times, even law firms are having trouble making ends meet. So I’m not sure how many family court or divorce attorneys would be able to volunteer their time to represent women in trouble.
But when I told Evergreen Park attorney Burton Odelson about the Crisis Center’s dilemma, he immediately volunteered his support.
"I will do everything I can, offering the services of my law firm and my influence with the Chicago Bar Association, to urge pro bono assistance for the Crisis Center," Odelson said.
He noted that he was on the Moraine Valley Community College Board when Crisis Center founder Dianne Masters first proposed locating a shelter for domestic violence victims on the college’s property.
"I supported that then and feel a personal attachment to the center due to my connection to Dianne," Odelson said.
Masters was murdered while seeking a divorce from her husband. Prosecutors who convicted attorney Alan Masters on conspiracy charges claimed that custody of their only child was one of the motives for her slaying.
For many women, these are literally life-or-death situations.
The difficult economic times aggravate already abusive relationships. Husbands and boyfriends lose their jobs. They become frustrated and angry as their unemployment continues. They drink more. They abuse drugs. They pick on those closest to them because there’s no one else around to strike out at.
Angela, I am told, appeared in court seeking an emergency order of protection. Her husband, who hasn’t worked in five years, appeared in court with an attorney, although there’s no explanation of how he could afford one.
Angela, a nurse working two jobs and 60 hours a week to pay the household bills, couldn’t afford an attorney. The husband had his order of protection lifted.
Women stuck in abusive relationships need help. They often don’t have the financial resources to hire an attorney.
Maybe Odelson’s offer of assistance will be the first of many.

Judge gets slapped for being rude to mom (the norm by Judges ONLY he got charged
Family Judge’s Rant at Pro Se Litigant Draws Ethics Charges
Charles Toutant
New Jersey Law Journal
Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Max Baker has been hit with ethics charges for allegedly launching into a tirade against an unrepresented family court litigant who complained about a child-visitation schedule he ordered.
The heated invective called into question Baker’s ability to remain impartial, Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct counsel Candace Moody alleged in a complaint made public Friday.
The outburst allegedly took place during a hearing last Dec. 31 on cross-complaints for restraining orders brought by Michael and Dana Pilla, both of whom were pro se. After granting Dana’s request for an adjournment to obtain counsel, Baker inquired about the couple’s minor child and visitation.
On learning that Michael had not seen the child for more than a week, Baker imposed a temporary visitation schedule. When Dana expressed concern about the arrangements, Baker "became irate … screamed at her, and, among other things, accused her of being a bad parent, and threatened her with incarceration if she disobeyed his Order regarding visitation," the ACJC complaint says.
Baker then made a series of additional remarks "again in an extremely harsh and loud tone, that created an appearance of or reasonable belief that he was not objective and impartial," the complaint continues.
Moody called the remarks "disrespectful and insulting" and in violation of Code of Judicial Conduct Canon 3A(3), which requires that judges be "patient, dignified, and courteous to all those with whom they deal in an official capacity."
Baker also violated Canons 1 and 2A of the code in that he did not maintain high standards of conduct and did not act in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary, Moody said.
Baker has been sitting in the Criminal Part since July 1, though Winnie Comfort, the judiciary’s spokeswoman, says there is no information to suggest that the transfer was related to job performance.
But Baker has a reputation for poor demeanor, according to the New Jersey Law Journal‘s most recentSuperior Court Judicial Survey, published last year.
In the category of courtesy and respect to litigants and lawyers, lawyers graded Baker 4.76 on a 1-to-10 scale — the lowest score in the Atlantic-Cape May vicinage and 349th out of 350 judges statewide. His overall score of 6.63 was also dead last in the vicinage.
Baker, 64, was appointed to the bench by Gov. Christine Todd Whitman in 1998 and was granted tenure in 2005. He did not return a message left at his chambers on Friday.

Wednesday – August 11, 2010 Dr. Phil exposes THE CRISIS IN FAMILY COURTS
Wednesday – August 11, 2010
Crisis in Family Court
No one wants to wind up in family court, but with over 50 percent of marriages failing, it’s a familiar place for thousands of parents. Dr. Phil shines a light on the American family court system and how often it fails its citizens. Concerned for her 9-month-old son’s safety, Katie pleaded with Judge Robert Lemkau to order supervised visits for her ex, Stephen, who was threatening to kill their son, Wyatt, and then himself. When she was told that the couple should work it out, Katie returned to court on four additional occasions, desperate for someone to believe Wyatt’s life was in danger. Tragically, despite her exhaustive efforts to protect her son, Stephen did exactly as he threatened. Will the judges be held accountable? And, protesters of Judge Lemkau’s re-election want their stories heard — heartbreaking stories of how they say the family court system failed them. And, one teen speaks out on behalf of kids caught in the middle of custody battles and court rulings. At the hands of an abusive father, she says the court system ignored her pleas for help. Don’t miss this eye-opening show!
http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/1442/?preview=&versionID=
Failed by the System
Two months ago, Katie found herself pleading with a judge to order supervised visits for her ex, Stephen, and their 9-month-old son, Wyatt. When Stephen threatened to kill their son and himself, Katie tried multiple times to get a restraining order. After Katie’s five attempts to get protection from the court, Stephen did exactly as he threatened.
“They would both still be here if that judge would’ve just listened to me.”
The Aftermath
Katie explains what happened in the days that followed her son’s murder. She says someone else knew what her ex was going to do and failed to stop it. And, meet a man who says he’s going to stop Judge Lemkau from doing any more damage to people’s lives. Plus, meet others who are trying to educate the public about the U.S. family court system and how they say it needs a massive overhaul. “They’re told they will lose custody of their children by reporting abuse.”
From a Child’s Perspective
“Stephanie,” 17, wanted to speak out on behalf of the kids in the middle of custody battles and court rulings. She says because courts have ignored cries of abuse, some kids are left in the hands of their abusive parent. Stephanie fears this is happening with her younger sister. And, meet another mom who says the court failed her and her two boys. Plus, are court appointees profiting off of fractured families?
