A self-censored chronicle of family court dramas, lived by parents who lost all or some visitation with or custody of a child or children based on perjury and/or other false courtroom evidence
Grandparents will get legal right to see grandchildren after divorce battles "For the first time, separating parents will be exp...
The bill states, "Upon the filing of a petition by a grandparent for visitation, the court shall hold a preliminary hearing ... the court may award reasonable visitation to the grandparent ... if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that a parent is unfit or that there is significant harm to the child, that visitation is in the best interest of the minor child, and that the visitation will not materially harm the parent-child relationship."
Dr. Karin Huffer is the author of "Legal Abuse Syndrome" has had PTSD recognized and approved to allow special accommodations in the courts. Her work is phenomenal
As advised by lawyers, separating and/or divorcing parents often make false allegations of domestic violence (DV) in the form of a restraining order to evict an innocent parent from the home, interfere with contact with child/ren, and then file for temporary custody (virtually never temporary). False police reports are often obtained and used in DV Court...called "information only reports", but contain a fabricated incident of DV and thus a serious crime if and when exposed.

Manno Schurr Brings Nursing Background to Courtroom
Judge Valerie R.
Manno Schurr, 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge
Valerie Manno Schurr had been a nurse for a dozen years when she passed the
Florida Bar exam. She kept working in the operating room.
"One day we had a new surgeon come in, and they said, 'You
know there's a lawyer in the room. You better be careful,' " she said.
After the operation, "the head nurse came to me and said, 'You know you
made that guy very nervous. He didn't like that there was a lawyer in the
room.' "
The Miami Beach native pursued nursing right after graduating from
North Miami High School, urged on by her sister, who was already a nurse.
"I couldn't decide what I wanted to do, and she said, 'Why
don't you go to nursing school? It's a great job. You're going to love it.' " Manno Schurr
recalled. "And I did. I really did. Nursing is a wonderful, wonderful
profession."
She started in oncology at Mount Sinai Hospital.
It was emotionally trying. Her mother died of breast cancer at 37
when Manno Schurr was 5. Caring for cancer patients took its toll.
"You're just trying to prolong their lives," she said.
"I wanted to take care of a patient, get them better and never see them
again. These people kept coming back and coming back. They come in. They get
diagnosed. You give them chemo, and they would get worse and worse and
worse."
Even though some were cured, she said the work was still painful
for her. After two years, she got reassigned to the intensive care unit, then
the recovery room. "Then I got cross-trained to work in the operating
room," Manno Schurr said.
"I did paperwork. I'd get the patient from the holding area,
check the band—'Are you so and so? Are you having this surgery?' You have to
make sure that everybody knew what we were doing," she said.
She served as the operating room's official historian and monitor,
recording every event and keeping track of every instrument and piece of
equipment used.
"I would do: Time patient in the room. Time patient on the
table. Anesthesia started at this time. The time of the first incision,"
she said. "And then when they would start to close, I had to count
everything."
The operation couldn't end until every item was accounted for,
down to every single sponge—even if it meant, as she once did, getting down on
her hands and knees and searching under the operating table to find it.
Dual Career
In 1989, she said, "I started getting restless. I just wanted
to do something else. I knew a bunch of people that were at UM law school. …
Actually, we went to the law school, and I sat in the back of the room. They
didn't say anything. They let me do it. And I said, 'I think this is very cool.
I think I want to do this.'
"The next thing I know," she said, "I'm a law
student."
Manno Schurr kept working as a nurse and as a clerk at a law firm
steps from the Flagler Street courthouse.
"I went to night school, and I had a job Saturday and Sunday
that I worked from 7A to 7P" in the ICU units at local hospitals, she
said. "I went to school at night."
After Manno Schurr graduated, she said, "It took me a couple
of years to get a job." When she did, her years of experience in hospitals
paid off.
"I got a lot of work doing medical malpractice," she
said. "That's what people wanted me to do."
In 1996, she left to form a general civil litigation practice with
her husband. In 2004, she ran for county court and lost. She ran again for
circuit court in 2006 and won.
"I loved being a nurse," she said. "I loved being a
lawyer. Now I'm here, and I love it. I'm very happy."
Still, she kept her nursing license active until just a couple of
years ago, and she keeps her nursing honor society pin in her chambers. And she
said her years of nursing still pay off in the courtroom, in more ways than
one.
"I've been in every division. I started off in dependency; I
went to criminal and civil. When I was over there in civil and I was trying a
medmal case and the doctor was testifying on the stand, it was great because I
knew everything that was going on," she said.
Now in the family division, Manno Schurr said: "Everybody
who's on the bench, all of us, we bring to this job all of our experiences in
life, and it makes you a better judge. I think that being a nurse gives me a
lot of compassion, especially in this division. It gives me a lot of compassion
for people."

On Sunday, dads across the country will get the recognition they so deserve. But online, there's never a reason to wait.
I love this film about what it means to be a dad. Brought to you by Dove Men+Care – they nail it when it comes to defining what fatherhood feels like. Enjoy it. Then go tell a dad you love him.
