A Terroristic Divorce

In February 2008, Judge Del Ricci met me for the first time in a child support appeal short list conference.  The conference was chaotic as the judge was attempting to resolve the equitable distribution of the divorce and completely refused to review any of the information relating to the support appeal.

At the beginning of the conference, Judge Del Ricci inexplicably indicated he disliked me.  What was this based upon?  It was irrational to believe that he had such intense hostility towards unemployed fathers who were appealing excessive support payments and denied any visitation without explanation.  Yet, Judge DelRicci immediately ordered the cancellation of any support enforcement conferences.  I remember thinking that my being branded a ‘deadbeat dad’ was having a major impact on him.  That explained why they went for child support when it was costing them more than they would gain.  Judge Del Ricci indicated that he looked forward to putting me in jail.  Based on this ‘first impression, I realize that they were probably whispering the drug dealer allegation at this point in time.  That short list conference was completely non-productive.  

After the conference, Judge Del Ricci and I shared an elevator.  I had just spent the last hour in a room with this person so I commented on the unusually warm weather for February.  Judge Del Ricci got right in my face.  He made it absolutely clear that he didn’t like me, didn’t want to be cordial, and he didn’t want anything to do with me.  I was alarmed that this man who just wasted an entire conference on the wrong subject and was supposed to be non-biased and fair,  apparently had no qualms about expressing his extreme dislike for me.  I wrote it off as theatrics but the reality of it was likely that the Judge was demonstrating the disrespect afforded to a drug dealer/deadbeat dad.  

While I had done nothing to be branded as such, I apparently had been stripped of my rights.  There have been several people who have pointed out that I am being treated as a criminal with no rights at all.  All of their allegations are whispered.  They never accuse.  If they were to accuse, I would be able to defend myself.  YOU CANNOT DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST THE IMAGINARY ALLEGATION.  IF YOU QUESTION THEM, THEY WILL DENY IT AND IMMEDIATELY ACCUSE YOU OF BEING PARANOID.  The accusation of paranoia is meant to distract from the original question which they are unable to answer.

The judge had obviously had ex parte information about me and apparently believed what he had been told.  Somehow, I had the idea that as a judge he would be able to separate out the erroneous ex parte information he had recieved and deal with the law and the facts presented.  I was wrong.  

On April 18, 2008, the judge entertained yet another ex parte communication regarding my case.  Just prior to a hearing which had been obfuscated by multiple rescheduling and change of locations and venues, Robert Angst went to the judge’s chambers.  

Robert Angst most likely informed the judge, or his staff, that I was planning to attack him.  I had been looking at reports of ‘suicide by cop’ on the internet.  The people spying on me really have little idea what is real and what is being put before them to confuse them and reveal their crime.  Once again, someone indicates their participation in the illegal surveillance of my computers.  Instead of being prosecuted, they are rewarded for their criminal acts.  I do things on my computer intentionally.  I say things on my phone intentionally.  It forces them to reveal themselves.  They fall for the false information every time.

The judge was so distracted at getting to the exciting  ‘suicide by cop’ portion of the hearing, that he neglected to consider or review any testimony.   It did not go unnoticed by those in the courtroom that the court officers were positioned ready to prevent the attack and attempted suicide.  For the record there was about 20 feet between the judge and myself.  In those 20 feet, there was a table which would need to be hurdled, then a railing to jump, and then the Judge’s bench was elevated and only accessible from the side.  YET, as soon as the judge began his ruling, I was immediately restrained by several people and handcuffed and shackeled.  I never heard a word the judge said as I was being manhandled.  It would seem that the officers knew the ruling in advance and had instructions to restrain me immediately.  

BUT, where did they get the idea that they would need to immediately restrain me?  I am not violent?  I have no history of violence?  There were no angry exchanges?  There is no police record of violence?  There has been no threats?  There has been no hostile or threatening communication between the divorcing parties.    I weigh under 150 pounds.  It didn’t take 3 people to restrain me and remove me from the courtroom.

By the way, it was improper and unconstitiutional that the Judge had denied me due process of any support enforcement conferences, denied me the opportunity to testify, and was throwing me in jail for contempt of a court order which had not been issued by the court.  ???  This was a temporary order which had been under appeal since the date it was issued.  The appeal hearing was continued by Angst & Angst.  Judge DelRicci did his best to confuse the schedule based on his dealing with the guy he did not like.  

Judge Del Ricci was delighted that I was representing myself.  The volume of frivelous petitions from Angst & Angst was growing by the week.  The false reports to police about me were also continuing.  They accused me of causing identity theft as a way of covering that they were causing it to happen to me.  Chaos, Lies, Fraud, Crimes!  So I was somewhat distracted from realizing that the support conference had become a contempt hearing.  As a contempt hearing, I was defendant against the Commonwealth of PA.  As such I would have been permitted to have a public defender represent me.  The Public Defender’s Office does not participate in a divorce and custody case.

The attorney for the Commonwealth of PA, Doug Gould (?) had met with each of the defendants in the courtroom that morning, except me.  He had multiple conversations with Bob Angst.  Had he spoken to me he wouldn’t have looked stupid when he was questioning me.   I indicated that I had made child support payments totalling $2000, he play acted shock and sarcastically asked for proof which I provided.  After that, Judge Del Ricci asked Bob Angst if he had any questions.  And we were off to the land of chaos.  A musical angst-filled land with imaginary trips to New York, big salaried community theater performances,  and extensive time consuming dance rehearsals ( for Jesus Christ Superstar?).

Later that day in the holding cell at the county jail, a few men who had been in the courtroom that morning asked about the way things went down with me.  Their experience was not the same.  They expected some dramatic story of prior violence and hysterics.  They did not expect to hear that the people responsible for destroying my life and spying on my computers had once again revealed themselves.  

The judge would expose his extensive knowledge of the crazy computer guy, the paranoid guy and various other titles used to refer to me in May 2008.  Where was he getting his misinformation?  The insults and degradation continued to the point where I interrupted one conference and called it to the attention of the judge and Robert Angst.  I said that if they continued to refer to me in that manner I was going to begin to take it personally.  They continued nonetheless.  Then, the judge gave his crazy ruling. He rewarded the person who robbed my home giving her furniture and other items.  He additionally would order me to give up my car to them in response to their totally fraudulent petition regarding the vehicle and the insurance which I WAS PAYING.   They were rewarded for crimes and fraud.

Let’s also remember that ‘off the record’  consolation chat prior to the protracted hearing on support, where Judge Del Ricci admitted to conspiring with the county detectives and the Montgomery Township Police to assure that Sonya wasn’t afraid of being prosecuted for the break-in, burglary etc…  Judge Del Ricci never put that in his order, because if he had it could be appealed.  

Judge Del Ricci frequently likes to mock me for computer things.  Like it is something from the future.  He indicated at the February 2008 conference that I sat home playing computer games all day.  RIDICULOUS.  Where did he get this info?  I am not a gamer at all.  I did relish seeing the look of complete surprise on his face when at a hearing in March 2009, he was again mocking me acting as if it was preposterous that I would have had a work history and related retirement financial information they were requesting in discovery.  

I indicated that I have over 25 years experience in computers, programming, telecommunications, technical  support, and the construction of the internet.  I indicated that I had worked for 15 years at Unisys (aka Sperry, aka UNIVAC, among other aka’s) and had also worked for 7 years at Henkels & McCoy handling their high-end tech/internet provider clients prior to beginning my own internet development company, Work2BDone.  

OMG, the crazy paranoid computer guy might know computers.  Not only that, but the guy knows more than the county detectives about the surveillance programs being used against him.

So perhaps it is time for Judge Del Ricci to simply admit that he has acted improperly, destroyed my family, accidentally thrown me in jail,  and caused considerable stress and humiliation to myself and my entire family.  All because he listened to ex parte communications which were totally inappropriate and inaccurate.

Then he can apologize for the turmoil he has caused for my son, Brennan.  Brennan is the other victim of Sonya’s divorce.  Psychologically – I don’t know how he will ever recover from it.

I know why you are doing what you are doing.  I know the reality of what I am doing.  My motivation is to make those responsible reveal themselves.  And they do. 

Judge Del Ricci’s active participation in the cover-up and conspiracy is criminal and bring the entire judicial system into disrepute.    Why don’t you do right?  Tell the truth and resign.

It is remarkable to me that the two people who have ended conversations with me by saying it is improper to have ex parte communications are the two who have not only entertained ex parte communications but have made decisions based on them.  Sara Goren and Judge Thomas Del Ricci.

And my conversations with them (sentences actually) were not ‘ex parte’ as they were not case specific.  

Perhaps what they really meant was that they have already had their ex parte communication from Angst & Angst and they can’t listen to what you might have to say.  If they do not act as was pre-arranged, the lawyers at Angst & Angst will throw them under the bus and reveal their improper communications.

SARA GOREN WAS MANIPULATED AND TRAPPED.  SHE ALLOWED IT.  
HER CAREER IS AT STAKE.  ANGST & ANGST WILL ‘THROW HER UNDER THE BUS’ IF NECESSARY.

A petition to modify custody was filed on December 26, 2007.

– Without any prior notice, Sara Goren cancels a conference on March 25, 2008 indicating a family issue.  I think it was a funeral.  I had no choice but to understand and accept this unfortunate delay.  Yet, it would seem Sara Goren didn’t cancel her other scheduled appointments that day.  There were 3 meetings scheduled for 10:45AM.  Sara Goren’s family emergency only affected one.

– Court Administration [Gina] ignores your request for ‘first available’ conference with any available master.  You have waited 3 months for this date WITHOUT ANY CONTACT from your son.  Instead, at the request of Angst & Angst, she would schedule the conference for Sara Goren’s next available date.  8 weeks later.  [This information was notated in the court administration scheduling system.]

– On May 19, 2008, Sara Goren would suggest waiting an additional 3 weeks to act with regard to scheduling a court date.  Sara Goren recommends that I reconsider moving forward to court.  This is ridiculous.  Why would I want to wait another 3 weeks?  I had waited 5 months for this conference.  I had not seen my son or heard from him in months.  I had clearly documented and presented how my son was being abused by his manipulative and alienating mother since July 2007.   I wanted the hearing.  The conference was a formality, and major delaying tactic when there was no potential for agreement.  Why would I wait another 3 weeks to decide if I wanted to move forward????  The only logical explanation is that Sara Goren knew that they were planning to take Brennan out of the country.  I was yet unaware of the travel plans.

– On May 19, 2008, Sara Goren’s schedule was backed up.  The conference scheduled for morning was not held until mid-afternoon.  Sonya was oddly unrepresented at the conference.  Hmmm??  Robert Angst was at the Protracted Support Hearing that morning.  Valerie Angst was spotted outside the Domestic Relations Office talking to Sonya [at about an hour after the time the conference was supposed to occur].  If Angst & Angst were both in Norristown, why were they not at the conference with their client?  Had Valerie Angst met with Sara Goren that morning?  That would be an improper ex parte communication.  Sara Goren couldn’t be so naive as to have actually accepted a document from Valerie Angst that morning.  Sara Goren could not have been SO INCREDIBLY STUPID to submit that document as HER report.  In Sara Goren’s report Sonya’s perspective is documented.  BUT SONYA SAID NOTHING IN THIS CONFERENCE SO HOW COULD SARA HAVE THE INFORMATION SHE REPORTED. 

Valerie Angst frequently cuts and pastes her documents together.  I still have to go through the petitions filed prior to this meeting.  I expect the exact phrases used by Angst & Angst in their petitions will be identical to those in Sara Goren’s report.  How would you explain that?

– September 9, 2008, Angst & Angst fail to appear at a Custody Conference.   NOTE: THIS CONFERENCE WAS NOT WITH SARA GOREN.   The paperwork warns that this would result in a a ruling in favor of the party who did appear.  BUT, Angst & Angst lied and told the court staff that an agreement had been reached.  There is no agreement.  They dodged a conference with a Custody Master who had not been manipulated into compliance.

– October 1, 2008, back to meet with Sara Goren.  [The court order from July indicated that the issue be listed for trial immediately upon notice to Court administration, court administration insists on requiring the conciliation conference]   Sara Goren does not recall her family emergency in March.  Sara Goren is also at a complete loss to explain her neglecting to include any issue raised at the May 2008 conference in her report.  At the very least, how did she forget to include that ‘SONYA USED MY SON TO ROB MY HOUSE”?  I raise the additional issue of the fraud and lies surrounding Judge Tilson’s Ex Parte order regarding Brennan’s ‘vacation’.  Sara Goren suddenly ‘gets religion’ and indicates that this needs to get before the judge as soon as possible as Brennan will be 18 soon.  NO SHIT!?!

– The week before the October 1 meeting, Angst & Angst filed a petition they had cut and pasted from all of their previous petitions.  Over 60 pages of false allegations and misdirection.  Their plan is to use that petition to delay the custody hearing.  They never send a copy of the petition to me.  They send it to Sterling Flowers who had represented me for one dayat a custody short list in July.  It takes weeks to get a copy of their petition.  It is missing pages and is misnumbered.  The copy filed in the prothonotary is also missing the items.  Judge Del Ricci combines the custody petition from December 2007 and their new contempt petition.  Judge Del Ricci indicates he is not concerned with the fraud of Sara Goren’s report, or her motivation.  He calls for an immediate hearing for discovery issues.  Judge Del Ricci, as usual, berates me through the discovery hearing.  Judge Del Ricci knows the intent of the 60 pages of bullshit petition.  We will never get to a custody hearing while they dispute discovery in their 60 pages of bullshit.  Then, magically when Brennan turns 18, they will drop their contempt petition.  [Let’s all pretend we are clueless and surprised when that happens, OK?]

The facts are clear.  The fraud is clear. The conspiracy to cover up their improper and illegal actions is clear.

The best interests of the child are completely ignored.  It’s about tactics.  It’s about conspiracy.  it’s about cover-up.  DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF FOR A MINUTE THINKING THAT SARA GOREN OR JUDGE DEL RICCI GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR SON.
