I recently discovered a video on YouTube that I found incredibly remarkable. There’s a gentleman with a website called DaddyJustice.com and I wanted to give him a shout out because during the course of his own personal battle, which he describes as six and a half years and four-hundred thousand dollars, he has actually attained the rarest of animals in the divorce field. He was able to get a perjury conviction against a woman who had mothered his child, and you had made numerous false accusations against him. The website is DaddyJustice.com and he has an interesting series of videos on there where he chronicles all of his trials and tribulations.
There is a reason why it is so difficult to prove perjury in a divorce or custody case. I’m referring to something called SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). Wikipedia.com’s definition of SLAPP is: “a lawsuit or a threat of lawsuit that is intended to intimidate and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition. Winning the lawsuit is not necessarily the intent of the person filing the SLAPP. The plaintiff's goals are accomplished if the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate.”
The California legislature originally created SLAPP to solve a problem arising between environmentalists and logging companies. The logging companies would attempt to silence the environmentalists by suing them repeatedly with their unlimited funding, thereby wrapping the environmentalists up in court battles. So the legislature put in place this SLAPP provision so that the logging companies could not use lawsuits to try to silence their opposition.
That very same process is now being twisted and used by the divorce industry to prevent a defendant in a divorce case from filing a perjury charge against their ex, as long as the ex-spouse believes (or states they believe) that they have good reason for their claims. So basically, my ex-wife could file any charge she wanted against me, with the only provision being that she feels she has a reasonable basis for them. Never mind that my due process rights are violated, and that I’m not allowed to countersue for perjury. The real kicker is that if I was found to have violated her SLAPP rights, I would be responsible for paying her attorney’s fees. And who decides if her charges have a reasonable basis? The judge, who is also part of the Divorce Industry.
Basically, the problem with SLAPP is that it was originally conceived for a valuable and noble purpose, and now it has been perverted in order to suppress the rights of individuals during divorce proceedings.
This is just one more reason why it is so difficult for fathers to remain a part of their children’s lives during and after a divorce. The system is allowing and encouraging liars to file false charges in order to destroy their “opponent” with an unfair advantage.
