This is how I see it, even though I am not a lawyer. I did call Senator Jorgenson, since he is on the judiciary rules committee and is a legal consultant and asked him what this was all about. He stated in so many words that he needed to look it up to see if it was actually a rule because the legislature has to okay these things. Well folks, its a rule. It's right here. You can also refer to my last post which has links to more of the documentation.

IRCP 16 (p) allows for the courts to cover their backsides by denying folks the right to due process. It's a sweetened up form that you consent to, most likely unknowingly because most folks are not familiar with the Idaho Rules of Evidence and how it can protect you. This way during a nasty divorce and custody hearing the courts can railroad you right down the tracks.

I swear these guys have learned the hard way, and after all of my complaining they decided that through their own faulty experience, they needed to draft this to cover their backsides and here is an informal breakdown:

1. Almost 15 years ago I went through a nasty divorce and custody dispute. It would be termed "high conflict."  I think that means there is money involved.
2. My ex had all the money. I was a "stay at home" mother/housewife with no income.
3. My ex paid the expert witness who was Jonelle Simpson PhD at that time, to pony up a falsified custody evaluation by introducing fabricated medical records.
4. Jonelle Simpson PhD recommended that I never see my children and then the court took everything away from me. She even ponied up false testimony from a doctor who did not testify. I still pay child support based on her false introduction of medical records. My social security benefits will most likely be garnished if I don't get it paid up by age 65 or get the order teminated. My credit is completely ruined. The child support clerks threaten me with felony charges if I don't work, and it was raised because they want it paid off before I "hit the can."  Lovely.
5. Jonelle Simpson is married to Judge Benjamin Simpson. Judge Simpson is the chair for the Children and  Families in the Courts Committee. Jonelle, his wife, is on the Wellness Committee for the judiciary. Jonelle is a psychologist. She covers stress issues for these stresssed legal professionals. Both of these people live in this area.
6. All of Simpson's (Jonelle) illegal and unethical actions regarding myself and my children were public for almost 15 years. I just recently went to court to get them sealed because they invaded my privacy and it was a public court record. It invaded the children's privacy too, the custody evaluation was open with massive amounts of sensitve information. It was like a rock and a hard spot to get this sealed without causing more public disclosure. My letters were ignored. The children are grown now, so I could do it without anymore harm.  I was forced to go pro se. I don't have any money. I had to open two court cases to get this done including appealing one to the District Court. Eventually, I took it back to the Magistrate Court and it was sealed. The public court case is here. It's a public record because there are no falisfied medical records in the public case. The other one is now sealed. By the way, I am not a criminal. If you sign this rule in a custody or child support case - your court records and any false documentation will be public. It is designed to embarass, ridicule, and humiliate you, so you will back off and swallow the poison.

This is why this rule is bad.

1. You give up your right to privacy
2. You give up your right to due process.
3. You may be giving up your federal right to HIPAA, you just won't know it.
4. Your expert witness can introduce falisifed medical records to color the case. This floats in Idaho. My case proves it. If you have had any professional counseling to save your marriage or to protect you from it - you are done. They can also introduce alcohol and rehab records - false or not. The Governor ought to like this one.
5. This can be done because you have just waived your right to due process by ignoring the Idaho Rules of Evidence. If you don't have any money you really have no choice but to sign. Going Pro Se in Idaho is very difficult, they really don't want to deal with you.
6. This protects the legal profession because when they mess up you have just signed that waiver of no liability. These guys don't want to study law, they just want your money.

I did not waive my rights. The professionals abused the law. Again, I am not a criminal.

Here's the rest of the story. When I was getting my divorce, Judge Simpson's wife was also getting hers. It's right here. She was playing with all of the same attorneys and what she was getting out of my ex through the community business, she was funneling it all back into the same hands. She needed the money. It paid to cut me out. I still don't know how much money was wasted. White envelopes were being waved all over the place.

Now she hooks up with Judge Simpson and things are nice and ducky. Jonelle thinks she has snowed me, I am out of the picture, thus no threat.  I have no money to fight back. She has attorneys. She is married to a local JUDGE!  Jonelle is the "understood" expert for the courts for needs assessments for children in District I and Judge Simpson, her husband, is the chair for the Children and Families in Courts Judicial Committee. How cozy is this? Now, that they are in bed together, they draft this informal court custody hearing to cover thier shortcomings, because after all, through experience they have learned that the children are not always served in their best interests through the formal court process.

Gawd, I am gagging. It is NEVER for the children. It is ONLY for their convenience and their corrupt little pocketbooks.

The IBOL, Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licensing for the THIRD time is investigating Jonelle's actions. You will never see the investigation because it is confidential, but my medical records were not! They became a falsified public record. Years ago she would not hand over the alledged records because she claimed federal confidentiality laws. She did not hand over the records because she falsified them in her custody evaluation and she acquired them ILLEGALLY. I could not get anyone to help me go after the judges wife! Now she does not have the records because she claims that according to APA (American Psychological Association) standards she does not have to keep them. I will find out if the Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses says it's okay for psychologists to pony up false medical records without due process, hopefully soon. If they say it's okay, then folks in Idaho have a big problem. You have to have consent or court order to do this - there wasn't any. It's also not a good idea to falsify them.

Gee Judge Simpson, we all know that your wife fabricates medical records to win her custody suits as an expert witness and now you just made it legal?  Just how many lives has she ruined?

My advice to folks in Idaho and especially North Idaho who have children - DO NOT - I repeat DO NOT seek any type of counseling or professional help in this area even if your marriage is bad. Just leave.  If your marriage hits the rocks and can't be saved, you are finished. There is no mental health professional that will be able to help you because folks like Jonelle Simpson PhD. with the permission of her husband will falsify and introduce your medical records without due process or certifcation falsely to the court. You have a right to medical privacy, but these folks including the local hospital, KMC, don't care. The integrity of everyone's medical records in this area  has been compromised.

So Jonelle Simpson PhD., was it worth the money? I sure wish I had some of that "up front" money you needed back then. Maybe then, I could have given you the ransom price, I needed to see my daughters and I would have been spared the living murder of my children and they, their own mother. What you took from us is a crime and it's priceless. In case you don't know what that is - it's called LOVE. If you can get a hold of my youngest daughter who I have NO relationship, thanks to you, maybe you can tell her that. When you did this, you did not consider their half brother, so you ruined those sibling relationships as well. He is almost 40 yrs old. He has not seen his own sisters for 15 years, thanks to you. I did not even know what the youngest one looked like until she was 20 years old. The first time we met, it was like we were both crawling out of a grave, but we were still alive. Wrap your psychologist brain around that.  She was seven years old when she was grabbing me at the knees not to go, crying, in the office of Ken Adler, your good buddy,when I was still trying to get some visitation and custody. I was allowed 20 minutes. I fought like hell to get back into court to see them. But, I needed more money and I didn't have any, so I did not get any more visitation or contact because your custody evaluation was so BOTCHED that it was impossible to satisfy.

You people make me sick to my stomach and it makes me sick to live here on a daily basis. But, some of us come back to see the children we never got to love who are no longer here.

We don't need legislators in Idaho. The reason is because the judiciary committee members draft Civil Rules of Procedure that basically act as law. It works for them, not us.

In fact, on September 29th, 2008 the Children & Families in the Courts Committee decided that poor people are not entitled to due process. A new procedure of informality has been formed, but you must waive your rights to due process, in other words the court can ignore the Idaho Rules of Evidence. This is a good rule for the courts and it's cohorts here, because they ignore and abuse the law anyway.

Here is is:

The judicial site has not been updated, however I have been informed if you have any trouble with this new rule you are to contact Judge Benjamin Simpson, here locally in Coeurdalene, because he is the new chair to the committee. Poor people are just a pain, this way they can run them through like cattle and not have to be accountable. It will also work for the wealthy one sided, so they can railroad the other party.

Call your legislators and let them know your vote means nothing, it's really the judicial committees who run Idaho. 

P.S. This rule may not be set in stone yet. I will keep you posted.

By 5:50 p.m. North Idaho time, the ABC media had McCain at 50% popular vote, and Obama at 49%. The electoral college had already called it at 102 for Obama and 54 for McCain.

The biased media was so ugly that Katie Couric could not refrain from her last moment attacks on Palin and the popular vote was discarded. Really, at this rate Idaho could decide the Presidency.

I am moving to Alaska, where I know I will be protected, and I am going early before our own country discards our own state. I can hardly wait - no TV and real fish! Crab, Baby, Crab!

Good bye.  

P.S. McCain just gave his conciliatory speech. Have I been counted? Nope. Good reason to move to a different country.

Tomorrow, I will vote. Tomorrow, before I vote the media will already have a President. Today was tough for them, because they were almost calling it, but they knew it would not be proper to do so. My vote in Idaho means nothing. By tomorrow around 5 o'clock p.m. the news stations will confirm that, and I will have barely blacked in the ovals.

I like taking photos of water. I caught this a year or two ago -  Noxon, Montana.

I read many forums and I have noticed a really popular word. It is the "idiot" word. It is used when a person is frustrated, angry, and basicially discontented.

Interesting to note that the word "idiot" was coined by psychiatry. It is a level of function among humans who are developmentally challenged. This classification of humans is also lumped into a group which also includes morons and imbeciles. Idiot is the least functional level, while a moron scores higher with imbecile holding his own in the middle of IQ tests. These terms coined another insult like "retard."

Idiot is a derogatory term and it is an insult and so is moron, imbecile, and retard. We rarely attribute it to developmentally challenged people. However, surprisingly, it still holds some importance in Idaho law here.

 TITLE  32
                              DOMESTIC RELATIONS
                                  CHAPTER 1
                                   PERSONS
    32-106.  CONTRACTS OF IDIOTS. A person entirely without understanding has no power to make a contract of any kind, but he is liable for the reasonable value of things furnished to him necessary for his support or the support of his family.

Can you see this going to court?

"Your  Honor, he is an inbecile or maybe a moron. He is definitely not an idiot." 

Our legislature passes and amends all sorts of laws. Maybe, they should take a look at this one and amend the insult? Calling or writing that someone is an idiot in Idaho could be taken as slander, libel, or defamation, unless you call a politician an idiot, then it is not.

"He called me an idiot, Your Honor, and according to I.C. 32-106  .........."

Yes, I have been disenchanted with online stuff so I almost decided to kiss it all goodbye.

Yes, I am in the works of another site but that will take time and I just can't stay still during the interim of it's development.

In the meantime, politics are getting hot so I propose that we all cool off. Check out Walter - he is running for President!
