Getting along with a lawyer in court is no easy task. Most clients think that court is like Burger King, "I want it my way or the Highway!" , but the truth is court cases rarely go that route. Lawyers these days are grossly inept. If you have been in a case or sat through a case, not once will you here more that 1 law brought up and thats the basic charge. They dont even go into details of other relevant laws or cases where the state of new york supreme court has upheld laws with absolute clarity (this is known to lawyers as case law)

If you want to file a complaint against a lawyer make sure you know what the New York state Bar has made illegal for Lawyers to do. The New York State Bar's Proffesional Standards Are:

Court and Judges Greivances

If you really think that a Judge in your community is a bad seed and not just PMSing (this is ment for the anal retentative male judges in our system) what you need to do is STAND right outside his courthouse on his calander dates and ask people coming out if he or she has violated his or her rights like the judge violated yours. If it has happened to you, it was bound to happen to someone else as well. If it has, give them a copy of the Judicial Conduct form and ask them to please fill it out and send. Again this is the easiest way to get people to listen. If you are the cair at Judicial Conduct and see one folder on a judge compared to 120 folders on another judge who would you review?

The Commision on Judicial Conducts website is:
http://www.scjc.state.ny.us/

The Code of Judicial Conduct is:
http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:mqFXRqYYTREJ:www.nysba.org/AM/Template.cfm%3FSection%3DCode_of_Judicial_Conduct+New+York+Code+of+Judicial+Conduct&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us

The Complaint Form is:
http://www.scjc.state.ny.us/General%20Information/complaintform.htm

Make sure you request any and all documentation and send it with the complaint outlining what was done in violation of the law and ethics. Pay for the court transcripts if you can and send a copy highlighting the part and then footnote the case or law that shows that what was done was illegal.

Find your local law library and be sure to ask for help.
http://www.nycourts.gov/lawlibraries/publicaccess.shtml

Above all else, ask if you can appeal and if you can do it. Make sure you have a lawyer who will do what you want not what the opposing party wants. Good luck in any endeavor, and I hope this information has helped.

Child Support Info Warning Jaded Male from Court Proceedings Unfairly Held

Many men and a few women, although it is a rarity, owe child support in New York. Current rises in divorce have become trendy. It is a fashion statement for a person to go into a singles bar and say im divorced. Men and women obviously don't remember the contractual agreement of their wedding vows anymore. We live in a me society and it is easier to throw broken things away and get a new one then to take the time to work on fixing the old one.

Child support is actually a part of local DSS offices and not courts. A hearing Examiner is appointed by the Department to oversee the support issue and here the sides.

The current child support standard is:
https://newyorkchildsupport.com/pdfs/CSSA%20Guidelines.pdf

Custodial parents (not always but mostly from what I have seen are the more rutheless of the set) can find information on child support in this location:
https://newyorkchildsupport.com/custodial_parent_info.html

Non custodial parents otherwise known as the part time parent, are usually the brunt of an inequal judicial systems joke. If you have shared custody and it is split 50 50 why on gods green earth is the male parent still paying child support in the state of New York? Any one? Any One? New York is a pretty damn sexist state and women can say all they want about how they are all the best parental choice but thats not ALWAYS the truth. Not to say that alot of the single mom's out there aren't the best parent or too say that they are either, the ruling should be based on factual evidence rather than a gender biasism. The rulings should be equal and case by case but good luck for a change with that. Statistically speaking 98% of the family court cases in New York have had rulings granting the mothers custody. To assume that only 2% of the mom's are unfit as parents is ridiculous, to top it off how many of those cases were based on factual evidence and not hearsay, opinions gossip or bias as stated by law?

The good news is you can have a lawyer for child support."You can have a lawyer for child support?" Damn straight you can because bucko if you slack one bit your ass is in jail getting pounded by prison gaurds who get off scott free in court for lack of evidence even when its dna tested semen. *this was an actual case in Greene County New York and written in the Daily Mail*

The main thing for you non-custodial parents to remember is Stop Being Stupid, by being stupid i mean stop being nice and a good guy or girl. The person you are paying support to (50% of the time especially if she recieves welfare and is unemployed) probably wastes 98% of it on recreational uses that have nothing to do with the children. If you are called by the ex and she or he wines moans and groans about not having a car and you think to yourself hmm i should give him or her one of mine, smack yourself good and hard. Call up the support collection unit in your local area and tell them that you want to give that person a car worth x amount of dollars and have it put to your child support obligation. If the state doesnt want to do that then you itterate that without a car the ex will be a burden on the state by having to file for saftey net assistance from lack of being able to get to and from a job and that thats the reason why you planned on doing this. The state is not in the business to lose money contrary to public belief. Just because we don't know where the money went doesn't mean someone at the state level doesn't. So again let me itterate, if you plan on giving a gift bone head, get a reciept and prove that it was in the states best interest for that gift. Use your head. Pay your support on time. If you lose a job and cant pay make sure you file for a change right away. and always ask it to be back dated to that day. Support is income based and if you have no income obviously the amount changes. 25% of 0 is 0. Most hearing examiners violate that though and tell you to collect soda cans on the road to come up with 50 or more dollars a month. Be happy its not more. If you are homeless and think that not paying support will get you in jail with 3 squares a day you are stupid. Your support obligation will build up while you are in jail to a higher level and you will be there possibly till your dead. If you like that kinda thing go for it.

The one that makes no sense at all. Support is not mandatorially tied to visitation. If your ex is a dumb ass and denies you visitation then you think hey I dont have to pay support. WRONG! The system is intentionally designed to piss you off and you have to grin and bear it. Personally, I think its for population control. Ex husband get mad at ex wife collecting support and denying court ordered visitation goes and shoots her, the kids and himself dead. Thats one less case for the system to have to deal with. If you are having trouble getting visitation you need to take it up with the family court. by continually interfering with the visitation a person can lose custody to the other parent if proven fit enough. You can bring up this issue in support court and have it addressed as far as the AMOUNT you should owe towards child support if the other party is not following court orders.

In court, that lawyer who is across from you...she or he is not a lawyer. They are an employee of the Department of Social Services and they know the laws but not all of them. If you can find cases and laws that bolster your case and be more prepaired than you will be ok.

In any court you should not be happy when you leave at all. But you should be content. Court is about compromise, sometimes you have to give in order to get. Be apt and attentive and you will do fine.

In the end it boils down to this: If you are custodial or non custodial you made the child and you are BOTH responsable for its upbringing. Financially, morally and ethically it is the responsability of both parents to give that child a life it can live contentedly rather than disrespectingly. If parents would just figure out that using the kids as weapons is stupid (this goes for both dumbasses) then the kids would be better off, and inturn so would both parents.

*Update* I suppose Update should mean "the boy was I all wrong clause". In a recent case I helped with, I FOUND OUT that there is a law in the family courts acts that specifically states that no person who is below the income poverty level may acrue an arrears of more than 500 us dollars. Guess what? The Judge held that it was illegal for cps to have the higher dollar amount but then stated that the state would not give back extra support taken through withholdings by the state in excess of 500 dollars. This is a clear violation of poor persons rights under Family Courts act 413 paragragh G. However, the individual was released from any more back support that had been built up besides what was garnished from taxes and was released without any prison time.

The problem comes with issues from the Instituted plan by George E Pataki and The Director of the State Child Support Enforcement Agent in 1986. The plan set forth by the Federal CSE was outlined in a manual and sent to the Director of the state attatched by PLA. The Manual leaves most regulation clearly stated and instituted in federal codes title 45. One of the kickers no one knows about is that the AIS or ACSES system that was adopted includes a clause that states that the system will automatically update the support without court for cost of living increases and any drastic change in wages by the payor. This includes disability, workers comp, unemployement and any thing to do with a dramatic decrease in wages. The state of New York knows this Law and clause but chooses not to uphold it, because currently the state is footing most of the bills for the primary custodial parent with social services grants and wants that money no matter what. This is a clear cut violation of law. It is a clear cut violation of rights. It is discriminatory against poor persons in this state who are trying but cant afford support. Know the laws, know your rights, don't count on your lawyer knowing anything, they usually don't.

Family Courts in New York are actually Empowered by the State Of New York Supreme Court. The New York State Family Courts act outlines the powers and duties of the family court in the State of New York. Any one involved with the Family Court should immediately retain a lawyer or request one from the court. By legal definition the lawyer must represent the client zeleously and compitently. If a lawyer fails in his or her duties please reffer to Lawyer Grevances.

Judges in the Family Court are bound by the Cannons of Judicial Conduct. If a Judge violates the Law or your rights they are punishable by the local Commitee For Judicial Conduct. This is a chair of 6 Judges who review 6 months worth of case requests and decide roughly 6 cases of which to rule. Seems rather unfair to the person who has had a bad judge. I should know, I have had a few bad Judges my self.

If you really think that a Judge in your community is a bad seed and not just PMSing (this is ment for the anal retentative male judges in our system) what you need to do is STAND right outside his courthouse on his calander dates and ask people coming out if he or she has violated his or her rights like the judge violated yours. If it has happened to you, it was bound to happen to someone else as well. If it has, give them a copy of the Judicial Conduct form and ask them to please fill it out and send. Again this is the easiest way to get people to listen. If you are the cair at Judicial Conduct and see one folder on a judge compared to 120 folders on another judge who would you review?

The Commision on Judicial Conducts website is:

The Code of Judicial Conduct is:

The Complaint Form is:
http://www.scjc.state.ny.us/General%20Information/complaintform.htm

Make sure you request any and all documentation and send it with the complaint outlining what was done in violation of the law and ethics. Pay for the court transcripts if you can and send a copy highlighting the part and then footnote the case or law that shows that what was done was illegal.

Find your local law library and be sure to ask for help.

Above all else, ask if you can appeal and if you can do it. Make sure you have a lawyer who will do what you want not what the opposing party wants. Good luck in any endeavor, and I hope this information has helped.

Missing The Why Do This

This was the first blogg yet some how disappeared so lets try this again.

Why do this?

Well I could be mean and say that people are just to stupid to figure it out themselves, but the truth is thats not true. If you knew how much time and effort I went through to get all this information, all the sources, numbers, names laws and contexts you would be like glad that wasnt me. It is very time consuming and daunting. Your government wants it like this. They don't want you to know your responsabilities, they sure dont want you to know your rights and most of all they don't want you acting on them. Every one says at one point or another "oh thats government red tape for you" its red tape because you let it be. I know life is time consuming and you dont have time to make enemies let alone friends so why should you care. Well if you keep on not caring either you or your children are going to get sucker punched and will be homeless. Im sure thats what we all say we want to grow up to be when we are kids.

You don't have to get to far up off your butt to do something. You can call or fax in your support. Maybe that donut finished you off and all you can do is dial numbers or send an email while you watch the little mermaid again to see that peepee in the sea. obviously these things are vitally important and take precident. I mean god forbid my daughter watches the little mermaid 50 million times at slow speed and sees that what will i do? Or you can do something like call up the police and say hey wait a minute, why did I just hear on the News a Trooper Raped and Sodamized a woman in uniform!!! Oh my, my priorities must be all wrong.

So now that I have gotten that off...

Stop sitting and do something. 5 Minutes in 1 week is more than nothing. Supporting orginazitions monitarily is okay to do but me I would much rather volunteer me. I am worth more than I could ever afford to give them.

Be more involved and knowledgable. All those office conversations you have about the news, you are wrong. Its not all your fault as they are misleading you. The media is in it for the endorsements not to make you feel safer let alone smarter. Do the research learn the laws. I will tell you, you scoff and moan now but then when its you under the scope you wish you had.

A case in point is I-90. I am sure alot of commuters (in passengar vehicles) have driven the thruway many a times and a few have gotten tickets for driving on the left hand lane while not passing. Are you aware that that is wrong. You can drive in the left hand lane any time you want its in the law and it is in the Federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. However, most law enforcement agencies would have you believe it is illegal and pay the fine, drivers assesment fees and court costs. Why, you were within your legal right...because you were to ignorant to realize you were within your right.

This is the same for Federal Income Tax. Are you aware that article 16 of the United States Constitution says that Individuals cant be taxed just businesses and that the Supreme Court has Ruled Numerous times that Federal Income Tax is Unconstitutional. So why do you pay it? Because either you dont know or you dont care, or you fear.

It is supposed to be a government for the people by the people of the people, when did we lose that. When did our sons, friends, daughters, fathers, husbands, mothers, even ourselves sacrifice to protect the rights of the people under the guise of a blank page of social tyranny? Why are people dying for democracy when we dont even remember what the word means?

A few people who know me know how I do my work. You have to be concise and precise. Keep a log of everything. If you own a computer get skype and then purchase MXSkyperecorder. Record all your phone conversations. You dont have to tell people you are recording. You are not a cop and you are one of the people on the phone hence this is not wiretapping. Video Camcorders are becoming more inexpensive daily and investing in one for your car is a good idea. If you see something happening illegally, pull it out hit record and upload it to the net and call the news. Legally you are not allowed to use it in the court of law as evidence but you may use it as evidence of perjury.
Hold people to their story, hold people accountable for their actions. If you havent seen it yet watch 9/11 press for truth on myspace and see what I mean. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=98629970.
Get a regular digital voice recorder. You can record air conversations anytime you want. And it is evidence in court. Take statements, be as dutiful as an investigative reporter.

This information is to help people to address issues and greivances with the propper organizations and persons. I hope that this helps.

Redressing Grievances with Cops

If you are thinking about this one I have to tell you 1: You're nuts, and 2: Your not alone. Article 13 of the New York State Constitution gives the Govenor of New York the power and authority to adress any greivances any constituant may have against any police in the State of New York. Currently, we have a Govenor who has been found to have been making illegal requests from police in the whole "Trooper Gate Scandle" so if you think you can get him to listen without 5000 of your closet friends or relatives, think again.

There are many things wrong with our society and this is one of the big ones. Police corruption and retaliation has built up in this state at an alarming rate and thats just the reported incidents. Many go unreported on a daily basis. Many are small and superficial but still in the eyes of the LAW (in the books) it doesnt matter what god for saken last name you have, what color your skin is, what your religion or sexual preferences are, and yes even what clothes you wear. The law is for everyone. So as a citizen and you see the police do something illegal what can you do?

This is the Police Misconduct Report Incident:

As far as where to File them...

State Police http://www.troopers.state.ny.us/:

You are Supposed to file it with your Local Internal Affairs unit, but truth be told, dont expect a fair and impartial investigation. There is a lack of patrol officers in the state right now and it is better to have bad cops then no cops at all. These bad cops know there will be no repercussions for their action and there for do whatever they want.

I went so high as the Superintendants office himself. Preston Felton in my opinion is an over glorified chimpanzee. I don't know how many times I told him that the IA unit he kept routing my call to was covering up the investigation and threatened me (which I recorded with skype) and yet still he kept sending me to Captain Perez of IAB who was the one doing the afformentioned issues.

However this is supposed to be complete so here is Prestons Fax Number 5184857505

Govenor Spitzers Fax is 5184741513 expect his office to loose it multiple times and ask you to send it again. Record calls and keep faxes in one file folder for when you do actually get an appointment.

The FBI http://albany.fbi.gov/ dont expect these lazy ass clowns to do much. Again, its an issue of discrimination based on title and guess what, according to the US Constitution, no person in the United States may hold a title granting qualities of nobility. you can try them but dont expect much really.

The last one I like alot. It is the State Commision of Investigation the phone is 212 344 6660

address:

New York State Commission of Investigation

59 Maiden Lane 31st Floor

New York, New York 10038

I spoke to the chief inspector one night about my cop issue and he was very polite and knowledgable. A rare quality in government these days. If you go any route go this route

As a back up I would also suggest that you contact your local news casters via email or by phone and tell them detailed what evidence you might posses.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development

The purpose of the Department of Housing and Urban Development is two fold. It provides rent vouchers to recipients who meet the income guidlines to put towards rent for housing programs and projects that are a part of H.U.D as long as the premises are habitable. A common epidemic with current financial issues in H.U.D. and its sponsors has left many persons living in inhospitable areas against common decensy and human morality. Courts in local communities have disregarded poor tenants as having rights and have upheld many evictions exhaserbating the homeless issue in many communities. If you plan on getting low income housing please read the follow up Article on Housing Greivance Procedures and Law.

Another Program that HUD has for recipients is a Home loan for low income borrowers so that they to might afford a home. This Loan usually reduces the interest rate of the loan and drastically lowers costs at time of purchase. The program aims at getting lower income persons to buy and invest in fix-me-up homes. The labor that the low income persons put into and repairing the home will increase the value of the home which HUD owns until fullfilment of contractual obligations and also the communities value in which the home is located. When Buying a HUD home buyers should be aware of taxes and assesments by local governements. Any code requirements by the state as well as local governments. Always buy future sighted so that 5 years down the road after inflation and all you can still afford payments and bills.

There are many resouces on homes and home buying:

Social Services Links and Info

Many New Yorkers are homeless, poverty stricken or without healthcare. I don't equate that everyone who is on welfare deserves it but there is a suprising amount of people currently barely above the poverty level if not falling below it that need help. To top this, we as americans have a crisis in the housing market that is crumbling our ability to keep let alone buy houses.

For Laws in regards to Social Services plese go here and look up SOS

Included in lawhelp is a lawyer referal system that all indigent persons should look to use for free legal services if an when necessary.

One of the main problems facing social services as an indigent person, is that no lawyer may represent you in a fair hearing before an administrative judge in regards to your case. Their are a few Pro Bono advocacy groups that are willing to go to bat but this inequality is unfair to the common applicant who is usually quite frankly unknowledgable of the legal issues and ramifications of these cases. My contention is that this is exactly why their are homeless and a direct statistical corelation can be drawn with surmountable evidence by the counties fair hearing logs and a cross reference with vagrency arrests by name.

I hope that this information has helped you. Remember to read NYCRR related to your issue. Remember to read the laws related and most of all go to your Local Law Library and look up the cases. Dont be afraid to ask for help.

The New York Residents all in one
