Black Widow's 400‑Page Meltdown: Elizabeth Faulkner’s smear collapses as Judge Rakov recuses. Weigel: “Venom and vengeance, not justice.”

Black Widow’s 400‑Page Meltdown

    Elizabeth Faulkner, known across the Hudson Valley as the “Ulster County Black Widow,” just hit a wall. Her 400-page legal broadside against protective mother Helen Garber—stuffed with falsehoods and personal vendettas—was swatted down by Judge Sarah Rakov, who recused herself rather than dignify the spectacle. According to Family Court Fraud Warrior Project founder Dave Weigel, Faulkner’s motion was “a smear campaign dressed up as law.” Court insiders say it was pure retaliation—an attempt to jail Garber and steal her child. But this time, the Black Widow’s web may finally be unraveling under public scrutiny and legal sunlight.

    Ulster Family Court Ambush: Helen Garber faces secret contempt hearing, false abuse claims, missing testimony, and altered transcripts.

    Ulster Family Court Ambush: Mother Branded ‘Abuser’ in Secret Hearing

      Helen Garber entered the Ulster County courtroom on July 18, 2024, expecting to seek protection from domestic abuse. Instead, she was blindsided with an emergency contempt hearing she never saw coming. In just hours, ex parte emails flew, a sealed petition was weaponized, and Garber was branded a child abuser before any defense. Her evidence, her witnesses, her voice were erased from the record. Judges turned a blind eye. Attorneys Faulkner and Harp orchestrated the ambush. This isn’t justice — it’s a railroad job steeped in secrecy, altered transcripts, and judicial complicity.
