Black Widow Lawyer Seductress and Destroyer

In Ulster County, New York, a lawyer dubbed the “Black Widow” has spun a web of deceit around the family court system. Elizabeth Faulkner, infamous for seducing and marrying her clients, now stands accused of masterminding a courtroom racket built on lies, intimidation, and sex-for-service deals. Nurse practitioner Helen Garber dared to expose her—and paid the price. Missing evidence, gag orders, and judicial cover-ups followed. Investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, with Family Court watchdog Dave Weigel, are pulling back the curtain on what they call “a court of injustice.” The question: Who will stop it?

VAWA’s Witch’s Brew: Richard Luthmann exposes how billions fuel court corruption, false abuse claims, and bias under the guise of “justice.”

VAWA Witches Brew: Luthmann Breaks the Spell

“VAWA’s Witch’s Brew” is a fiery takedown of the Violence Against Women Act’s modern incarnation—a law that began with noble intent but now funds bureaucracy and bias. Richard Luthmann rips into the “witches” who defend VAWA as gender-neutral, exposing how billions in grants have turned courts into profit machines, judges into accountants, and families into fuel. In a system where allegations mean dollars, justice dies by paperwork. Luthmann’s blunt fix: limit family courts to property and custody. “Judges aren’t Solomon—they’re accountants with gavels.” VAWA’s spell is broken; accountability is the new magic word.

I'll Sue You: “Federal bill” author Francesca Amato loses IRS status, threatens journalists, and faces backlash for alleged self-enrichment.

I’LL SUE YOU!: Francesca Amato’s Legal Lesson

Francesca Amato, the self-proclaimed “author” of a federal bill, is under fire for threatening journalist Michael Volpe with a defamation suit after he fact-checked her Family Justice & Accountability Act — a “bill” that doesn’t exist in Congress. Her nonprofit lost tax-exempt status, she once paid herself 80% of donations, and her cease-and-desist letters read more like tantrums than legal threats. Critics say she’s misleading desperate parents for fame, not reform. Is Amato a fearless advocate—or just another back-biter capitalizing on chaos? Richard Luthmann’s scorching inquiry and IRS revelations demand answers she refuses to give.

Meet Maryann Petri: From Family Court Horror to Slam the Gavel

Maryann Petri’s story is one of devastation turned into defiance. A nurse, mother, and survivor of Erie County family court, Petri lost her children in 2015 after false allegations — despite being twice cleared by CPS. Judges stripped her family, career, and health, leaving her near collapse. But Petri refused silence. She launched the podcast Slam the Gavel, authored books, and wrote The Mailbox, now a short film. With more than 800 podcast episodes, she amplifies the voices of families failed by the courts. Today, she stands as a national advocate demanding abolition of a corrupt system.

Matt Grant's RICO Falters: Joshua Divine blasts his 170-page complaint against the Missouri Family Court and warns of sanctions.

Matt Grant’s RICO Falters Against Missouri Family Court

Matt Grant’s bold RICO lawsuit against Missouri’s family court system is now teetering on the brink. On September 3, U.S. District Judge Joshua M. Divine blasted Grant’s 170-page complaint, calling it “plainly deficient many times over” and warning that sanctions may follow. Grant, a veteran St. Louis lawyer, styled himself as a crusader against what he calls a “Family Court Mafia,” but his sprawling allegations and sweeping remedies have left the court skeptical. Critics say Grant aimed too high. Now, the question looms: is the federal courthouse a refuge for justice—or another fortress of the swamp?

Richard Luthmann Drops Bombs: On Stand With Meg he calls Family Courts RICO-style rackets built on secrecy, silence, and extortion.

Richard Luthmann Drops Bombs on Broken Family Courts in ‘Stand With Meg’ Appearance

Richard Luthmann stormed onto Stand With Meg and set the place ablaze. The former Staten Island attorney turned investigative journalist tore into the family court racket with blunt force. He called the system a “legalized extortion ring” that chews up families and enriches insiders. Host Meghann Miller—herself a mother stripped of her children—joined in exposing how courts, CPS, and guardians collude in secrecy. Luthmann, who once survived a political takedown and four years in prison, declared: “Family court is the civil rights issue of our time.” His mission is clear: torch the darkness and drag corruption into daylight.

Killer Family Courts?

Arizona’s Capitol shook on August 27, 2025, as Senator Mark Finchem and Representative Rachel Keshel led a searing hearing into family court corruption. Parents and whistleblowers exposed judges ignoring abuse, DCS tearing families apart, and a billion-dollar custody racket enriching lawyers and evaluators. Kathy Sherlock recounted how her daughter Kayden was murdered after a judge forced unsupervised visits. Danielle Pollock warned of nationwide dangers while pushing Kayden’s Law. Attorney Michael Moore exposed the “legal cartel” feeding off families’ pain. From burned homes to murdered children, the testimony was brutal. Finchem and Keshel vowed Arizona would lead the national reform fight.

Mainstream Media’s Journalistic Treason: The Family Court Cover‑Up

Family courts across America operate like rackets, not courts. Judges, lawyers, and guardians exploit families for profit, hiding behind vague doctrines and sealed files. The media plays its part, parroting “no evidence” of fraud while ignoring thousands of families who scream otherwise. Whistleblowers call it a “business model of fraud” and “designer child trafficking.” Elected officials like Mark Finchem and Rachel Keshel in Arizona, Tammy Nichols in Idaho, and reformers like Dave Weigel in New York, Rabbi Jacob Bellinski in Colorado, and Matt Grant in Missouri are pushing back. But mainstream journalists, often aligned with trial lawyers and donor-class interests, have betrayed the public trust. Critics call this betrayal: Journalistic Treason.

Title IV-D Fraud: SC clerks indicted for stealing funds reveal a statewide child support cash-for-enforcement racket.

Title IV-D Fraud: South Carolina’s Child Support “Incentive” Program or Judicial Slush Fund?

The federal Title IV-D child support program was designed to help children, not line officials’ pockets. But in South Carolina, indictments against former clerks Sharon Staggers and Becky Hill expose a darker reality — federal “incentive” dollars fueling corruption. Prosecutors say Staggers siphoned $120,000 and Hill misused $20,000, both from Title IV-D funds. Critics argue the program rewards aggressive enforcement, inflated orders, and contempt threats — turning child support into a cash machine for courts and agencies. For fathers like William Sewell, these revelations raise serious questions about whether profit, not justice, drives family court decisions.

Crooked GAL Evelyn Nissirios tries to sanction Dr. Bandy X. Lee for exposing family court abuse — and triggers national backlash.

Crooked GAL Evelyn Nissirios: Who Does She Think She Is?

Crooked New Jersey guardian ad litem Evelyn Nissirios just made the mistake of picking a fight with world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee—and it’s backfiring spectacularly. In an unhinged motion, Nissirios demanded federal sanctions against Dr. Lee and her legendary attorney Bruce Fein for exposing family court corruption. But Nissirios’s ignorance of constitutional law—and apparent unfamiliarity with both Kafka and Fein—only exposed the GAL racket she thrives in. Dr. Lee’s lawsuit has sparked national outrage, with activists calling for the impeachment of Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca and sweeping family court reform. “Who does she think she is?” America’s about to answer.

The Double Standard of Family Court: Enforcing Support, Ignoring Custody

By Michael Phillips | The Thunder Report & Father & Co. On June 30, 2025, the Maryland Supreme Court issued a sweeping, unanimous decision in In the Matter of the Marriage of Houser, affirming that parents cannot waive child support—even by mutual agreement—because child support is a right of the child, not a bargaining chip between parents. The ruling makes one thing clear: when it comes to financial obligations, the court has no hesitation asserting its power in the name of the child’s “best interest.” But here’s the question no one in the Maryland judiciary dares ask: If child support is a right that cannot be waived because it belongs… Read More »The Double Standard of Family Court: Enforcing Support, Ignoring Custody

BRAIN SCANS BROKEN SYSTEMS

The Family Court Fraud Warrior Project (FCFWP) is turning pain into proof. In a powerful alliance with the Amen Clinics, founder Dave Weigel and over 2,200 family court survivors are becoming educated about how brain scans can expose trauma the courts ignored. Amen’s SPECT imaging doesn’t just diagnose—it visualizes PTSD, anxiety, and abuse-related brain damage. “This isn’t emotional fluff,” said Weigel. “This is hard data the courts can’t deny.” Legal and Forensics Manager Marla Owens put it bluntly: “We can prove the trauma.” Together, they’re building a revolution: a movement where brain science is justice’s new weapon.

AZ FAMILY COURT BOMBSHELL

Arizona’s family court system is under fire. At a bombshell hearing led by Senator Mark Finchem and Representative Rachel Keshel, world-renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee torched the judiciary, calling family courts “one of the deadliest places for children.” Dr. Lee testified that judges routinely ignore expert evidence, rely on unqualified hacks, and hand children to abusers. With explosive claims of torture, trafficking, and judicial racketeering, Arizona’s reckoning has begun—and other states are watching. “This is not just unethical—it’s criminal,” Dr. Lee warned. “If we don’t act, the system must be abolished for the safety of our children.”

Family Court's Star Chamber: Dr. Bandy Lee sues NJ Judge over unconstitutional gag orders and judicial abuse exposing systemic corruption.

FAMILY COURT’S STAR CHAMBER: BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a former Yale professor and Harvard-trained forensic psychiatrist, is taking on the heart of judicial darkness in Bergen County, New Jersey. In a blistering federal lawsuit, Dr. Lee accuses Chief Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, GAL Evelyn Nissirios, and Judge Michael Antoniewicz of weaponizing gag orders to silence her First Amendment-protected speech. With over 2,500 signatures on an impeachment petition and constitutional scholar Bruce Fein representing her in federal court, Dr. Lee’s battle is drawing national attention. “They may have gagged me in court,” she said, “but they will never silence the truth.”

STATEN ISLAND FAMILY COURT SHAME

Marcello Roque, a Staten Island father, walked into Richmond County Family Court on May 27, 2025, to protect his daughter. Instead, he says he was assaulted, ejected, and silenced. Court staff blocked his petition. A clerk allegedly said, “This court doesn’t follow constitutional law.” When he began recording, officers swarmed him. One pushed him down the stairs despite his known injuries. Roque filed a police report—but says no action has been taken. His seven-year battle has exposed a judicial system he says protects abusers, silences whistleblowers, and tramples parental rights. Now, he’s demanding answers—and justice.

Fake Family Court Police: Meet the Justice Pretenders

Meet the Justice Pretenders—the so-called “Family Court Police” that operate with zero oversight and questionable authority. These part-time enforcers don badges from Party City, show up in mismatched uniforms, and terrify families with threats of child abduction. They operate only during business hours, moonlight as clowns by night, and claim to follow “court orders” that rarely exist. With no trauma training and six-figure taxpayer-funded salaries, they rip kids from homes under the guise of child safety. Who are they? What are their qualifications? And how do they get away with it? Let’s expose this system’s worst-kept secret.

Georgia Family Court Whistleblower: Maureen Meadows reveals racial bias, GAL fraud, and a “star chamber” of secret lawyer discipline.

Georgia Family Court Whistleblower Blows the Lid Off Secret Discipline System

Maureen Meadows, a family law attorney turned whistleblower, says Georgia’s family court system is “rigged” to protect big law partners and crush parents. Her divorce exposed fake reports, false statements, and a “star chamber” of secret lawyer discipline. “They lied and got away with it,” she said. David Weigel, founder of the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project, says legal fiduciaries get a free pass while Wall Street fiduciaries face constant scrutiny. “It’s astounding,” Weigel said. Meadows wants federal oversight, warning: “If they can do this to me, imagine what they’re doing to parents who can’t fight back.”

MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN BLOWS THE ROOF OFF FAMILY COURT CORRUPTION

The “My Three Minutes” campaign is exploding across social media, led by the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project. Parents from coast to coast are picking up their phones and posting short, powerful videos exposing corruption, abuse, and retaliation inside America’s family courts. From forced gag orders to unlawful child removals, these raw testimonies are building a blockchain-style archive of systemic fraud. Project founder David Weigel says the goal is simple: collect 1,000 verified stories and blast them in front of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s office. This isn’t protest—it’s data. And it’s becoming impossible to ignore.

The New Jersey Devil: Diane Womer blames journalist Richard Luthmann for exposing corruption in NJ Family Court.

THE NEW JERSEY DEVIL IN THE COURTROOM?

In a fiery moment inside Sussex County Family Court, Diane Womer, head of Family Matters of Morris County, branded journalist Richard Luthmann “the devil.” Her accusation came not in defense of a child’s safety—but in frustration over Luthmann’s growing exposés targeting the shady underside of New Jersey’s family court. From TheFamilyCourtCircus.com to The Unknown Podcast, Luthmann and co-host Michael Volpe are ripping the lid off corruption, favoritism, and profiteering in court-appointed supervision schemes. As public outrage builds and reform efforts mount, insiders like Womer—who wine and dine judges while cashing in on forced visitation—are seeing their empire threatened.

Family Court Civil War: A Guns N’ Roses anthem, a father’s custody fight, revealing the emotional wreckage of America’s family court system.

Family Court Civil War: How One Guns N’ Roses Song Became the Soundtrack to My Fight for Fatherhood

When Michael R. Phillips heard Guns N’ Roses’ Civil War, it didn’t just echo in his ears—it echoed his life. In the lyrics, he found a haunting mirror of his custody battle: the confusion, the emotional wreckage, and the systemic injustice. Family court, he says, isn’t a place of resolution—it’s a war zone dressed in robes. His battle isn’t over territory, but over time with his son. This isn’t just his war. It’s a national tragedy played out in courtrooms every day. And for him, Civil War isn’t a song—it’s a siren screaming for justice.
