Proposed Findings of Fact
after 59 Days of Trial
6/10/02 through 5/9/03
~~~~~
As of 1/24/04, Probate & Family Court Judge Lisa A. Roberts
Has Not Issued a Decision, Judgment Nisi or Order
~~~~~
The divorce trial of 59 days set a record in Massachusetts for the longest divorce trial in . . .There was evidence of
- misrepresentations (I think sufficient to prove perjury),
- attempted fraud of at least $160,000,
- conversion (tens of thousands of dollars),
- outright violations of "mandatory" statutes, such as the guardian ad litem and removal statutes,
- a secret order not allowing the parties to be at an evidentiary hearing of the guardian ad litem who recommended to allow the removal of the children to another State,
- severe sexual abuse of the children by the wife's father, with whom the children had been allowed to go live,
- possible bribery of the GAL,
- possibly unlawful splitting of GAL fees between court-appointed and NON-court-appointed lawyer/GALs,
- a $70,000 charge for fees by a so-called Discovery Mster who did nothing but create chaos and succumb and/or encourage lying by the wife and her team of lawyers,
- attempted deep-sixing of material evidence of an appraisal of real property,
- real-estate experts who were not experts at all,
- the nondisclosure of the wife of her adultery (so ordinary in today's world that the courts generally ignore it) and the discovery of it on the 57th day of trial (the kids gave her up),
- bogus restraining orders,
- wife's intentional and concerted effort to get the husband arrested for something, anything . . . in order to gain advantage in the custody fight,
- wife intentionally leaving a $170,000 position as a trial attorney for one paying only $60,0000, and then leaving that one for intentional unemployment, so as to avoid paying rehabilitative alimony (the father had been the primary caregiver prior to the wife filing for divorce),
- outrageous waste of marital assets by the wife
- the alteration of multiple tapes of a pretrial hearing,
- even perhaps an attempt at changing the tapes of the first five days of trial,
- collateral actions [malicious prosecution, 42 U.S.C. §§1983 and 1985 (conspiracy; prima facie case was pled), rescission] and
- on and on and on . . .
That but for their lies and despicable conduct,
the divorce trial would not have had to to last 59 days,
a record in Massachusetts for the longest divorce trial in . . .So now YOU can read why Smith's divorce trial took 59 days!
The lines in red are the factors named in section 34
of the divorce statute which the court must look at
when determining who gets what . . .
who gets physical custody of the children, how much custody, which custody (physical and/or legal), and
how the property is divided.The lines in grey are categories that I added because of the incredible numbers and types and sources of facts introduced as evidence --
testimonial, circumstantial, or documentary.I have used pseudonyms only for the family members and have redacted addresses and the psychologist who performed the MMPI tests.
MMPI tests -- as well as many others -- are pure garbage.
They should NOT NOT NOT be used in high-anxiety divorce cases.
(Here the psychologist was a husband of a judge.)That which was important when using the MMPI "results" were the responses of the husband and the wife to the questions asked about their answers to the psychologist's written reports.
By the way, the written reports are not the
"doc's" (NOT medical doctor) own words. The words are merely "prewritten" sentences in the computer progam.

K-5-c. Guardian Ad Litem Interference With Father/Sons
Relationship 215~~~ NOTE ~~~ Given that Beardslee testified for several days and we all heard what she did and did not do, Smith, throughout this section, elucidates continually on the deficiencies of Beardslee’s performance as a guardian ad litem, her inescapable incompetence, her defensive and flagrant self-righteousness, and most of all, the severe harm she wrought on the Smith children and Mr. Smith.Smith seeks a ruling from the court which makes it clear that no weight has been given to Beardslee’s reports.
Additionally, Smith’s counsel believes Beardslee is a danger to the families to whom the courts appoint her to serve. The danger from her arises probably less from a malicious nature than from a lack of intelligence. She has, unfortunately, been able to prosper and command respect within the judicial system because there are absolutely no standards to which she is held or to which she works. She made that quite clear. Unfortunately she has both a powerful entity, namely, the hospital, and quasijudicial immunity – foolishly by judicial fiat – protecting her from those she has harmed for years past and distressingly, will harm probably for years future.
Any declaration from this court regarding Beardslee’s intellectually deficient performance would be appreciated not only by Smith but also by the hundreds of families in this Commonwealth who are either suffering from Beardslee herself or others like her operating within the judicial system. In fact, the court could become a modern Jeanne d’Arc, the need being as great as the courage needed to do it!
