Fighting for Child Support in Family
Court, when you have no money.
FREE Call to ACTION!!!
My name is
Ginny Edmunds. I am a mother of 4. I have been in the Family Court System for 7
years actively trying to get proper support for my children. I have been
unsuccessful until now. Along the way, I have learned that there are many ways
to fight and many things that the system will do to you along the way. This is
based on my experiences with 4 attorneys, one who was disbarred, errors, court
errors, court systems, and new code changes that were designed to help the self
litigant.
In order to
help the other non primary wage earning parents in divorce, I am in the process
of setting up a nonprofit in order to raise funds and awareness to change the
California Courts operation procedure and open up their eyes to what is really
occurring. The abuse of this system is costing California taxpayers a fortune.
I am asking for help in the way of time. I will pay for fees to establish the
nonprofit, and need some persons who will work on it for a modest extra income
once we start getting contributions.
I am asking
for all parents, who are in the system, or will be in the system, to
participate either by donations or by offering their time to get the
deficiencies looked at, and to raise awareness of this important issue. I can
also help by giving advice, I am not a legal professional but I am studying
paralegal and law at this time. This advice is based on my own experiences with
the court in my fight for support while a very rich ex continues to abuse me
and the children, while escaping his responsibilities to pay proper support. I
will help you to understand the basic rights you have under the current California
Law so that you can fight for yourself if you cannot afford an attorney, and so
that you can make sure your attorney is doing the right thing if you do have
one.
If any of
you are interested in joining this cause, please email me and we can form a FREE
group to make changes and help each other. My email address is

Here is what
we can do. I am willing to help with legal codes and ways to get support and
needs based attorneys fees at the beginning of a case.
I am trying
to get a petition signed to get changes on the ballot in California.
We can march
on the court house and demand that the courts follow the NEW ELKINS laws.
We can work
together to make sure that children are getting the support they are supposed
to get.
Here is my experience
step by step which will all be laid out in my new book scheduled to be finished
in December 2011. I have suffered through what many of you have suffered in
part or in full. I hope my journey can help others, and will stimulate others
to take action. I am in process of submitting the petition to the State of
California and need $470,000 signatures to get it before the State Legislature.
"Family
Courts destroying families one at a time
How
taxpayers are robbed by this daily practice"
I will spell
out my recent events, as they are currently before the court and I am busy
putting it all together in court format.
August 25th,
2011 I go to court for my long awaited child support hearing that I filed again
in February 2009. It is finally before the court.
The issues
with getting it before the court were because I am 25% owner of my mom's
company. Therefore, my ex is stating I make a lot more than I stated. However,
this company has been receiving over $40,000 yearly in loans from my parents to
keep it afloat. And certainly cannot pay me much, but more than I could make at
any other job. I have provided all information in Discovery, so my ex has
everything he needs to see that honesty in the bookkeeping. Yet he states to
the court since 2004, that I make a fortune, and therefore, the child support
case has not been heard.
Here is what
he states in his documents filed here about support. Link coming.
OMITTED ASSETS HEARING - Proof of
Judicial Error costing Children Support and keeping litigant poor
So I
submitted this for Judicial Review to the Court House Presiding Judge, and
Supervisors
The result
was the trial court erred and said I had not met my burden of proof. However,
the burden of proof is on him to show how he disposed of the assets. Otherwise
anyone would just take everything and withhold it from their spouse during
divorce. So now I have had to hire an appeals attorney with my sons college
funds that he needed this April. Hopefully this will then allow me to get the
half that was rightfully mine, and get paid so that I can afford to send the
other 3 to college as they get older. In the meantime, this court has taken the
college funds from my 17 year old, due to their outright negligence in
responding to this case as per the law of California. My rights as a
stay-at-home mom, were to enjoy half of what WE, together, accumulated during
our marriage. That right was stripped from the kids and from myself. When I
finally get the transcript, I will post it. In the meantime here is the slew of
proof that I submitted, that was then ignored by the court.
In addition
I am unable to get the documents for the past assets or for current and past,
undisclosed income by utilizing the mandated Discovery process. This is also a
violation of California Family Codes, and Civil Codes, but without a judge
seeing it, or addressing it, I lose my rights to information. Below are the
letters I have had from opposing counsel, in violation of her duties to
disclose, or have her client disclose his income, his bank information, his
credit card information. So undoubtedly this will lead to another appeal. My
case for a motion to compel is to be heard on October 11th, 2011. I have
discovered a hidden bank account at HSBC by utilizing a legal investigation
company (Able Legal Investigations). The court did not address the fact that
this proves fraud, they ignored it in violation of California law.
Here is the current happenings in
Discovery:
1.
Correspondence regarding undisclosed accounts a legal investigator found for
me. Click
here for actual letters.
a. Proves other attorney is knowingly
refusing to comply with discovery
b. Proves other attorney is refusing to
answer letters
c. Proves other attorney knowingly aids
client in deceptive and unlawful conduct
Now I get a
letter from the attorney I was hiring to plead my case. She will not accept my
case as it is too complex. This is now the 4th attorney who finds it too
complex and each charge me for the appointment. So I am out more money. Here is that letter.
Just
yesterday, October 20, 2011 I got a 5th
letter from another attorney who won't take my case after I paid her for 2
appointments.
Then the
biggest thing I find out. In deposition, I find out the other attorney outright
committed fraud by a declaration she made to the court in 2008, in order to get
them to accept the fake MSA. Here is the proof. She stated in the declaration
that the reason it was not filed is that it was at his previous attorney's
office and he could not get it. However, in deposition in 2011, when I deposed
THAT attorney, she, his current attorney said that she had it all along in 2004
and 2005. Yikes, this is fraud. She outright withheld information if it even
existed.
As another
piece of proof, when i filed for the arrears in 2008,
May, she did not produce the MSA then either, she produced it October 22, 2008.
It must have taken time to get a fake MSA made. No other explanation of
withholding evidence.
Below I lay
out the other instances of fraud and concealment by this attorney, Carole
Baldwin.
1. She filed
false income and expense declarations in 2011, twice, here they are. How do I
know they are false? Because I hired an investigator and he found 2 hidden bank
accounts that were concealed during discovery, and those 2 accounts were used
to pay legal bills to Ms. Baldwin and were not disclosed in the Income and
Expense declarations. Here are those accounts, that I got after 3 months of
asking, after they were hidden in discovery 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Here
are responses which prove they were concealed. So that attorney knew those
accounts were hidden, otherwise the $80,000 he paid her would not have been
withheld from the income and expense declarations in March and September 2011.
Otherwise that mathematical error is phenomenal in the odds of that happening.
Two accounts not disclosed are the exact same amount not disclosed on the I and
E's to the court.
My case has
gotten so complicated and I have no money and he has a fortune in income, our community
assets, and companies he began during our marriage. The courts are not
following the law and getting me needs based awards or the community assets. So
here is more of my case:
August 30, 2011 I went to court as they were trying to
quash my attempt to get the financial information of the company my exes wife
is running under his name. Here is an actual copy of that declaration
by them and following is the proof that perjury is very functional in court. I prove
that she lied in this declaration to hide her involvement.
Also the CSIdentity is the
company he started during our marriage and the court will not let me go back
before 2009, even though it would prove my ownership and is in violation of
civil discovery codes. So I am appealing this and taking it up in civil court
as well. I lost my request, and the income continues to be hidden. So I have
filed appeal, and am filing a fraud case in civil court on my own.
For anyone who is not aware, the burden of proof is on
the person trying to quash a subpoena to prove that it cannot yield any
relevant information or is protected under the law by third party privacy
rights. Neither were proven here.
