"Confidential" Grand Jury Transcripts

As you can see, it got pretty heated between Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard and me when I was before the grand jury. I have to say that he made me crack in the Dearborn County Courthouse. This confidential dialogue came from a microphone that was hidden under a disposable Dixie Cup.

Prosecutor Negangard: Daniel Brewington, did you order the Code Red?

Dan Brewington: You want answers?

Prosecutor Negangard: I think I'm entitled.

Dan Brewington: You want answers?

Prosecutor Negangard: I want the truth!

Dan Brewington: You can't handle the truth!

Dan Brewington: Aaron, we are bound by a legal system that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with intelligence and honesty. Who's gonna do it? You? Your crooked court officials? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Dr. Edward J. Connor, and you curse people who challenge the system. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Dr. Connor’s professional demise, while tragic, has protected a lot of families. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, helps society. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don’t want my integrity to go near your legal system. We use words like honor, code, law. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a sign, and march against corruption in the Indiana Courts. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Prosecutor Negangard: Did you order the Code Red?

Dan Brewington: I did the job I...

Prosecutor Negangard: Did you order the Code Red?

Dan Brewington: You're Goddamn right I did!

As many of you have figured out, this is an altered version of the courtroom dialogue from the movie “A Few Good Men”, starring Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and Demi Moore. I want to apologize to most of the people who came to this blog with the expectation that they were going to find the actual dialogue from yesterday’s proceedings. I am prohibited from talking about what went on inside the grand jury hearing. I am simply trying to teach Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard a couple of lessons. The first lesson is freedom of speech. Sometimes I like to move away from the monotony of all of my legal research and take a little time to entertain. That’s another component to freedom of speech; the ability to entertain. The second lesson is that I take life very seriously but at the same time I enjoy living life. Prosecutor Negangard is coming after me with vengeance; I’m going after (legally speaking of course) corrupted public officials because it’s the right thing to do. There is also an amusing sidebar to the situation. People appreciate how I am able to take on a corrupt Dearborn County Justice System with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. It’s not because I am crazy or dangerous as Dr. Connor would like people to believe; it’s because I am a person who takes life in stride and I am not going to let a group of criminals bring me down.

So there you have it Aaron. The jokes on you and people find it very entertaining so it falls under First Amendment Speech. Of course I probably didn’t have to tell you that. After all, you are a powerful lawyer and I only have an associate’s degree from the University of Cincinnati.

"He wanted to call Ed Connor, a clinical psychologist who often testifies in criminal trials across Northern Kentucky."

Another criminal case involving Dr. Edward J Connor.

Dr. Edward J Connor is at it again. He's tattling on me.

On Wednesday I had a court hearing to approve the psychiatrist that I chose to perform a mental health evaluation of me in order to determine if I present a possible danger to my children or their mother. The girls’ mother has been objecting to my choice of psychiatrist because she believes that he may be biased. Of course she and her lawyer are basing my “potential danger” on psychological testing performed by Dr. Edward J. Connor. One of the more interesting things I learned on Wednesday is that while opposing counsel, Angela G. Loechel, was arguing that my mental health expert may be biased, while she continues to correspond with their original “unbiased” expert, Dr. Connor, in an effort to harm my children and keep them fatherless.

A couple weeks ago I was invited to go to a court hearing in Campbell County, Kentucky where Dr. Connor would be testifying. I was curious to hear what kind of “unorthodox” psychological jargon Dr. Connor could come up with in a different hearing. In the hearing Dr. Connor recommended that the parents alternate custody every year; one parent has custody one year and the other parent the next. It truly gave me additional insight into the disturbing practices of Dr. Edward J. Connor. Dr. Connor stated that the parents couldn’t get along well enough to share custody of their child so he suggested that they switch every year. In theory, each parent would have the authority to put the child into a different school every other year. But that’s what Dr. Connor does. He just writes and testifies to whatever he wants and he is never held accountable for his actions. Unfortunately, Dr. Connor was held publicly accountable for his actions that day because I went home and wrote about his ridiculous statements, and Dr. Connor went home and did what he does best; tries to seek revenge on me.

I have invited Dr. Edward J. Connor on numerous occasions to sue me and/or have me arrested if he believes I am guilty of anything. If Dr. Connor felt that I was a threat, he should seek a restraining order against me. If he thinks my writings are slanderous, he should sue me. What did Dr. Connor do after he and I appeared in a Kentucky courtroom at the same time? Dr. Connor tried to get me in trouble by contacting opposing counsel, Angela G. Loechel. Dr. Connor has to resort to tattling on me because he cannot sue me or have me arrested. If Dr. Connor initiated any criminal or civil proceedings against me, Dr. Connor would have to take responsibility for his actions in front of a jury. Any legal action taken against me could lead to criminal action against Dr. Connor. That’s why Dr. Connor lies in the shadows and takes shots at me from afar; he knows that his has conducted himself in an illegal manner.

In Wednesday’s hearing, Ms. Loechel went on and on as if I was the next coming of Charles Manson. She argued that my chosen psychiatrist would be biased. She said her client did a lot of research and came up with her own expert whom she felt was better qualified to perform the evaluation. I can see why she would want to go with her selection. The last “impartial” expert whom she and her attorney suggested was Dr. Connor, and Ms. Loechel is still working with Dr. Connor in an effort to get more information to help keep my children fatherless. Dr. Connor is no longer involved in my case. The fact that I attended a hearing in Campbell County, Kentucky has nothing to do with the safety of my children. It has more to do with the job security of people like Dr. Edward J. Connor and Angela Loechel. Ms. Loechel knows that there is no evidence that I have ever presented a danger to my children yet she continues to protect Dr. Connor despite knowing that Dr. Connor has operated in an illegal manner. Ms. Loechel and her client have spent the last fifteen months fighting to protect Dr. Connor’s case file because they know that the release of the file will demonstrate that my children lost a father due to the corrupt actions of a few professionals.

What it all comes down to is Dr. Edward J. Connor is a disturbed and dangerous psychological “expert” who is protected by people like Angela Loechel because they have the opportunity to obtain custom tailored reports and they have the ability to work with Dr. Connor to suppress evidence. While these people are playing their professional games, my children are suffering. Dr. Connor is a pathetic and cowardly man who knows that he has broken the law. Dr. Connor has contacted judges, lawyers, and prosecutors, in at least two different states in his attempts to harm my children and me. Rather than file civil or criminal action, Dr. Connor has to resort to tattling and interfering with legal hearings. The worst part is that Angela Loechel will continue to present writings like this to the Court in an attempt to demonstrate how my writings, which deal with the illegal conduct of professionals in the family court system, somehow make me dangerous to my children. Keep tattling Dr. Connor because that’s all you can do while you wait until states terminate your ability to continue practicing psychology and harming children. It’s only a matter of time before it is discovered that Ms. Loechel’s professional “expert” is a criminal and it will demonstrate how Ms. Loechel and her client capitalized on Dr. Connor’s illegal conduct to deprive my children of a father. Don’t worry girls, Daddy loves you and will keep fighting to protect your ability to grow up with both parents.

Even Dr. Edward J Connor couldn't lie about a reason to restrict my parenting time.

Judge James D. Humphrey felt that maliciously traumatizing my children was a small price to pay in his efforts to punish me. My ex-wife continues to fight to hinder my daughters’ ability to see their father. She is wrapped up in Judge Humphrey’s make believe opinions and bogus orders that try to portray me as a “potential danger” to my children. Dr. Connor did his best to hurt me through private letters to the Court, in responses to the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology, backdoor deals with opposing counsel Angela Loechel, and in his bogus testimony in the final hearing. Unfortunately for Dr. Connor, and the other people who want to deprive my little girls of a father, Dr. Connor could not skate past the facts at the end of his testimony at the final hearing. Dr. Connor is unable to find a reason why I should not have been able to care for my children. Despite Dr. Connor’s below testimony, Judge Humphrey ignored Dr. Connor’s recommendations and ripped my daughters of a father while citing, “The Court is most concerned about Husband’s irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor.” In the below testimony, the only concern stated by Dr. Connor is that the children could suffer emotional trauma if their time with their father was reduced or eliminated.

Dan : In closing, do you think that the children, given the fact that they spend equal time with each parent, could suffer some emotional trauma by reducing or eliminating the amount of time that they have with their father or their daily scheduled -- routine?

Dr. Connor: I do.

Dan: And do you think that since there’s no examples of abuse, neglect, the children are not wanting their father or their mother, either way, do you think there would be any reason why all efforts shouldn’t be made to ensure that both parents play an active role, if possible?”

Dr. Connor: I think that our recommendation indicates that the children do love you and that you love the children. There is a bond there and that the time that we recommend, we believe would sustain that bond. The issues, again, as I’ve stated previously, is that to have joint custody with you, I think, would be an extreme challenge and I think the prognosis is very poor, even with treatment.

Dan: You stated that -- With this being said, you said you believe that the Petitioner should be the primary resident and the children should have time with their father during the times that their mother works, if Dan can arrange his schedule accordingly, we believe that this would be or benefit to the children, so you stated that it would be beneficial to the children for [Dan] to be as big a part as possible, it seems, and then you on to say, ‘we see no reason why the schedule should not remain intact at this time.’ And then you go on to say that minimizing the time would in fact sustain their existing bond. How can the bond of a one year old and a parent be sustained by minimizing the time they have?

Dr. Connor: Well, again, I think with -- I don’t know your work schedule or if you’re working at this time. I don’t know the mother’s work schedule. But we recommend, perhaps a parenting coordinator or mediator or some type to look at the schedule, because we do believe that the children enjoy their relationship with you. As they get older and start to school, this would become more of a problem, then, because they would need to be in school.

Dan: Just one last question. Indiana time guidelines state that -- the parenting time guidelines state--

Dr. Connor: I’m sorry. I didn’t hear what you said.

Dan: The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines state that frequency versus duration is important in raising young children.

Dr. Connor: Right

Dan: Why wouldn’t that apply to your evaluation report, given that at the time of release the youngest daughter was one year old, and you state that minimizing the time would, in fact, sustain the existing bond, when the State of Indiana, if effect, stated that, you know, frequency is more important than not interrupting the schedule.”

Dr. Connor: Because I do not feel that you all can have joint custody, given the difficulty that you have between you. I believe that the work schedules have to be factored into this to really determine the parenting time that would be appropriate for the children.

Dan: But if it could be worked out, then as equal time as possible, then it would be the best scenario?

Dr. Connor: I believe that the mother would be the better primary residential parent.

Dan: But if it could be worked out that, uh, sharing -- you know, as equal time as possible, that would be beneficial to the children?

Dr. Connor: I don’t agree with that, because sharing equal time requires a lot of cooperation, negotiation, clean communication, and I don’t think that’s possible between you and Ms. Brewington, so therefore, I think there needs to be a primary residential parent and a sole custodian. And when the mother’s working, if the children can be with their father, then I think that’s fine.

Dan: So that means that, you know, if there’s a need for childcare, if there’s the opportunity, then there wouldn’t be any -- you don’t see any problems with dad being --

Dr. Connor: Provided the children aren’t in some type of pre-school or things like this, because children do benefit from that, as well.

Dan: Even if the Respondent takes the children to pre-school? I mean, is there a problem with that?

Dr. Connor: No, I don’t --

Dan: I have no further questions. I’m done.

Why do people keep going to such extremes to keep my little girls from being able to be with their father and his family; because there are people who hate me for who I am and they allow that anger and hatred to override the fact that my children are suffering long term emotional damage because my girls are being denied of a father without any reasonable explanation. Now I have to go back to court to face contempt charges because some people believe it is harassing or dangerous that I keep writing about the fact that my children were deprived of a father even though my ex-wife’s witness testified that I should be able to care for my children on the days that their mother works. One of the last times I spoke with my oldest daughter on the phone, she told me that she was being told that Daddy had to “work harder.” She was right. Of course she doesn’t know that Daddy has to work very hard to overcome the everyday obstacles that mean and vindictive people construct to hinder my ability to see my daughters. The hatred that these people have for me is greater than any love or concern that they have for my children. Don’t worry girls; Daddy will keep fighting for you no matter how hard other people try to keep you from your dad. For more information, go to www.DanHelpsKids.com.

How Ms. Loechel works to keep my children safe from Me.

Opposing Counsel is looking out for the welfare of my children. I received word today that opposing counsel, Angela Loechel, filed an objection to the approval of my selected psychiatrist [Dr. X] as a mental health care provider and requested the court to set a hearing. Ms. Loechel and her client seem to believe that because I have previously met with Dr. X, that he isn’t qualified to evaluate me. If the opposing party would have agreed to Dr. X, it would have expedited the process in getting back to my daughters. There was a hearing set to hear the matter on June 13, but Judge James D. Humphrey recused himself after alleging that there was an ongoing investigation of me that pertained to him. The connection I have with Dr. X is that I met with him for an evaluation at the advice of my Ohio lawyer who was representing me in my telecommunication harassment criminal charge. Ms. Loechel claims that Dr. X may have a potential bias towards me because he is also affiliated with The Affinity Center, where I am treated for ADHD. The last time Ms. Loechel argued that Dr. X should be disqualified, she accused me of trying to take advantage of her client having me arrested in Hamilton County, Ohio. Her client had me arrested in Ohio for trying to maintain phone contact with my daughters because she couldn’t bring any action against me in Indiana because my conduct was well within the court’s orders and the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines. My lawyer recommended that I undergo evaluations because it seemed probable that my mental health would be an issue. After I participated in the evaluation, the Hamilton County prosecutor recommended dismissing the telecommunication harassment charge because she felt that Ms. Loechel’s client was misusing the Hamilton County Courts in an effort to harm me. Despite the fact that I was a victim of malicious prosecution in an action brought by her client, Ms. Loechel is trying to make the argument that I somehow devised a scheme to undermine the Indiana Courts. I believe it’s rather presumptuous on the part of Ms. Loechel to suggest that I somehow took advantage of being arrested by her client. I was just following the advice of my lawyer because I did not want to have a criminal harassment conviction on my record. Fortunately Judge Dwane Mallory followed prosecutor Stacey Lefton’s recommendations and dismissed the charge. Judge Mallory later ordered that the arrest be expunged from my record.

Ms. Angela G. Loechel is requesting an “independent evaluator with no ties to either party.” Of course the last evaluator that Ms. Loechel wanted to use was Dr. Edward J. Connor whom Ms. Loechel gave legal advice to at the expense of her client, which I was later ordered to pay. Ms. Loechel gave Dr. Connor advice on how to protect his wife from having to testify if I tried to call her as a witness. Dr. Connor sent Ms. Loechel copies of correspondence between Dr. Connor and me, yet neither Dr. Connor nor Ms. Loechel would send me copies of their correspondence. The worst thing that Ms. Loechel did was conspire with Dr. Connor to have her client sign a false contract in an effort to obstruct my access to evidence while attacking me for questioning why the parties signed the bogus document.

This would be different if the children’s safety hinged on the evaluator’s findings on my mental health. It doesn’t matter which evaluator says that I do not pose a threat to anyone, I still have to undergo supervised visitation in a “therapeutic environment” for two hours, two day a week under the supervision of ANOTHER mental health professional. So Ms. Loechel and her client are arguing that my chosen psychiatrist, who has over thirty years of experience, may either lie for me or be hoodwinked by me which would place the children in danger while they are participating in supervised visitation, under the supervision of another mental health professional. Ms. Loechel’s argument is effectively the same as going to court to try to settle what brand of tee shirt someone should wear under their dress shirt. It doesn’t matter if it is Hanes or Fruit of the Loom because it is getting covered up anyway. The only difference is that it costs five bucks to switch tee shirts; it costs a couple thousand dollars to switch mental health professionals.

This is the “game” that they play. I don’t really blame Ms. Loechel for fighting to the bitter end in an attempt to find the holy grail of psychosis that they claim will someday cause me to do something bad to someone. I always thought the burden of proof fell on the accuser. In the world of Ms. Loechel and the Indiana domestic courts, it’s the responsibility of the parent with a flawless parenting record to prove that they will continue to be a loving and caring parent while continuing to not break the law. In the minds of people like Ms. Loechel, her client and the Indiana courts, they believe that all they have to do is find a reason to say that there may be something wrong with me and take the “wait and see” approach. After a year or two of nothing happening, they make another argument that I may have the potential to do something bad so they can take the “wait and see” approach again. Apparently, they believe it is better for the children to make it to their high school graduations without knowing their father because they are hoping and praying that they will be able to give a rational explanation to my children why they couldn’t see their father. That is why they have to keep fighting. The day that a professional says that I am not a danger to my children, is the day that Judge Humphrey, Dr. Connor, and Ms. Loechel and her client will face the cold reality that they fought to keep two precious little girls away from a stable and competent father for over a year. The longer Ms. Loechel and her client fight to keep my children fatherless, the more emotional damage the girls are likely to suffer. Don’t worry girls. Daddy loves you and will always fight to be your father.

No more Dr. Edward J Connor

I sent a message to lawyers and professionals in Dearborn County Indiana that they are going to be in trouble if they continue to use Dr. Edward J Connor. Check out the Dearborn County Public Forum. Dr. Connor should not be allowed to abuse children.

Shame on you and your client, Angela G. Loechel.

I just received the word from opposing counsel Angela Loechel that my ex-wife still does not agree with the psychiatrist I chose to evaluate me to see if I am a danger to anyone. My ex-wife believes that the evaluation should be performed by an “unbiased” mental health professional and not anyone with any connections to the Affinity Center, where I have sought treatment for ADHD for over eight years. Apparently, they believe that the people who have the most experience in evaluating and treating me are the least qualified to determine if I “may” present a danger to anyone. They believe that the Affinity Center or anyone connected with the Affinity Center may lie about me not being a danger to anyone just to “hook me up.” Ms. Loechel wrote, “Frankly, I am extremely concerned about Mr. Brewington’s apparent apprehension to obtain an unbiased mental health evaluation in this matter, as the purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether or not he is a danger to my client or the children.”

First it is worthy to mention that Judge James D. Humphrey ruled that I had to undergo a mental health evaluation to determine if I could have supervised visitation with the children in a therapeutic environment. This supervised visitation is to be supervised by another mental health professional. Angela Loechel is extremely concerned that the psychiatrist I chose is not going to be able to accurately determine if it is safe for me to have supervised visitation with my children in the care of another mental health professional. She believes that an “unbiased” evaluator would be better. The last “unbiased” professional Angela Loechel and her client proposed was Dr. Edward J. Connor.

How unbiased was Dr. Connor? Dr. Connor said he would not release the case file from the custody evaluation to me because I was not a lawyer. Dr. Connor sent copies of my correspondence and/or records to Angela G. Loechel but failed to provide me with copies of any of their correspondence and/or Ms. Loechel’s client’s records. Dr. Connor had Ms. Loechel’s client sign a bogus Office Policy Statement which Ms. Loechel submitted to court to obstruct my access to the case file. According to Angela Loechel’s billing statements, Ms. Loechel had phone conversations with Dr. Connor just prior to the final hearing in my divorce and even gave Dr. Connor legal advice to help keep Dr. Connor’s wife and partner, Dr. Sara Jones-Connor, from having to testify in court. Ms. Loechel and her client attacked me for publicizing the unethical conduct of their expert and continued to blame me for their legal expenses even after it was discovered that Ms. Loechel submitted a false document from Dr. Connor’s office nearly a year before the final hearing and it was Ms. Loechel’s expert that continued to communicate with Judge Carl H. Taul outside the presence of the parties which led to Judge Taul removing himself from the case. Ms. Loechel continued to communicate and send information to Dr. Ed Connor after the final divorce decree was issued. Now Ms. Loechel is complaining that I tried to get an evaluation so I can review the results before it could be submitted to court. No, I am just trying to save a little money and use the evaluation that I received after Ms. Loechel’s client had me arrested for trying to maintain a phone relationship with my children.

The following is a statement from Angela Loechel:

“[The psychiatrist’s] association with Mr. Brewington as an evaluator prior to his approval in this action and for the purpose of his defense in the criminal case in Hamilton County, Ohio, is even more problematic. I have no idea why Mr. Brewington would hire a mental health evaluator to defend against a telephone harassment charge, except in an attempt to get a mental health evaluation of which Mr. Brewington would know the results of prior to attempting to submit the same to this Court.”

There was nothing in the final decree of my divorce that prohibited me from maintaining a relationship with my daughters on the phone. My ex-wife “allowed” me to speak to the girls from August 19, 2009 until she stopped all phone conversations between my daughters and me on September 5, 2009. Rather than trying to file a contempt charge against me in the Indiana Court for calling the children on the phone per the Indiana Parenting Guidelines, Ms. Loechel’s client filed criminal charges against me in Hamilton County, Ohio. Not only did I face a criminal record because Ms. Loechel’s client decided to have me arrested in Ohio rather than follow Indiana law, now Ms. Loechel is second guessing my criminal lawyer’s legal strategy to build a defense against her client’s false criminal complaint. The criminal trial was set for a jury hearing and I had no way of defending my credibility because my ex-wife submitted the final decree in my divorce which claimed that I may be a potential danger to my children. Judge Humphrey based his decision on Dr. Connor’s testimony. Since Angela Loechel successfully argued that I should not have a copy of the evidence supporting the testimony against me from her “unbiased” expert, I needed an expert in case there was any question about my mental stability. Fortunately the Hamilton County Prosecutor recommended dismissing the charges because she felt my ex-wife was trying to retaliate against me. Now Angela Loechel is accusing me of taking advantage of being arrested as a result of her client’s irresponsible attempts to keep her children away from their father.

What are they really afraid of? They are afraid of the inevitable. It is only a matter of time before a mental health professional says there is nothing wrong with me and they are appalled that a parent could lose the ability to see his children while being denied the evidence against him. Ms. Loechel and her client want control of who evaluates me so they can have some input in the evaluation. Ms. Loechel and her client argued that my parenting time should be limited because I have ADHD, yet they argue that I should not be evaluated by a professional with a connection with the facility that has treated my ADHD for the better part of a decade. If Ms. Loechel has the ability to contact the professional who evaluates me, she will have the ability to have her own private conversations with the expert just as she did with Dr. Connor. Then Ms. Loechel can argue that I shouldn’t have access to the evidence against me because I may misuse it. I would think Ms. Loechel would have an interest in keeping Dr. Connor’s case file under wraps because it may contain inappropriate contact between Dr. Connor and her.

Ms. Loechel and her client are focused on two things: concealing Dr. Connor’s evaluation case file and arguing over which mental health professional evaluates me; neither of which are going to help expedite the children’s return to their father. Judge Taul told Ms. Loechel that if I release any confidential information about her client, it would be a civil matter. Ms. Loechel and her client worked to deprive my daughters’ right to question why Dr. Connor filed a report that he claimed contained “numerous errors and oversights” and the right to question why Dr. Connor and my ex-wife appear to be the only people in the world that have difficulties understanding me. Ms. Loechel and her client failed to file any motions to modify parenting time during the 2 ½ year divorce where the children were in my care nearly half the time. They did not file any physical restraining orders. The only time Ms. Loechel and her client tried to limit my parenting time was during the final hearing of the divorce. Now, after no testimony or evidence from anyone that my mental health would present an emotional or physical danger to anyone, Ms. Loechel and her client are arguing that I may be able to trick mental health experts into believing that I am not dangerous or that anyone who has previously met with me may lie and say I am not dangerous. If they believe that I am trying to trick a mental health professional into believing me, then it would be a lot less likely that I would be able to fool the people who have been treating my ADHD for 8 ½ years than a new expert. It is ridiculous for them to believe that my expert or treating therapist/doctor would risk their professional career just to lie for me and say that I am not a danger. It’s even more ridiculous for them to insist on me seeing an “unbiased” evaluator to get the most accurate evaluation while refusing to allow the new evaluator to have access to Dr. Connor’s case file which would give the new evaluator all the information necessary to come to an informed conclusion regarding the safety of the children.

It does not matter who I see. Any professional is going to say, “Why are you here?” and I will say, “I’m here because Dr. Connor said I might be dangerous but my ex-wife and her lawyer will not let you see how he came to that conclusion. They claim it may be dangerous to release the information that explains why I may be dangerous.” I’m going to take in all of Dr. Connor’s statements where he lied about the release of the case file and where he lied about his Office Policy Statement during his May 27, 2009 testimony. Then I would direct the evaluator’s attention to my web content and explain how I publicized my experience to help other parents. I would tell them that my ex-wife had me arrested because she did not want me to maintain a relationship with my daughters. I would tell them that my ex-wife told my daughter’s school to call the police if I appeared at the school for any reason despite the absence of a court order prohibiting me from doing so. I would explain how hard people have worked to damage the relationship between a father and his daughters. Then I would tell the expert that I have not broken any laws and I have never threatened or harmed anyone during my efforts to ensure my daughters have the ability to grow up with both parents. It does not matter if it is my own expert or the psychologist appointed by the Hamilton County Court; they are all going to see what a travesty the situation is. That’s what Ms. Loechel and her client fear. If they cannot find anyone to agree with the notion that I am a dangerous father, it will be apparent that all of their efforts have only served to deny two beautiful little girls the ability to see their father for an entire year. If they were truly concerned about my daughters’ well being, Ms. Loechel and her client would allow me to have all of the information possible to help a mental health professional form an accurate opinion of my psychological well-being. Defending Dr. Connor’s actions are more important to them than allowing my children to have a father. Ms. Loechel and her client’s only hope is to find a professional that they can have private conversations with and hope that they can conceal records; just as Ms. Loechel did with Dr. Edward J. Connor Psy D. I love you girls. Daddy will keep fighting to protect your ability to grow up with mommy, daddy, and their families.

It sucks to be Dr. Edward J Connor

Well it seems like all good things come to an end, don't they Dr. Connor. It appears that Dr. Connor took a public flogging at the hands of radio personality/power attorney Eric "The Bulldog" Deters. The Bulldog was broadcasting live across the 50,000 watt power of 700 WLW when he mentioned a problem with one Kentucky custody evaluator. The Bulldog talked about the perverted nature of some of the sexual oriented questions that Dr. Connor asks females in evaluations. Why would Eric Deters speak of things that were so damning to Dr. Connor? If the the Bulldog's statements were false, Dr. Connor would have a heck of a defamation lawsuit. My guess is that Mr. Deters isn't worried about getting sued by Dr. Connor because the statements are true.

I applaud the Bulldog for using the airwaves to bring attention to the pervert (also known as Dr. Edward J Connor) who the courts are appointing to evaluate children and adults. Maybe lawyers and judges will be a little leery about referring business to and/or appointing the perverted Connor. I am going to try to get a copy of the audio and/or transcripts from the broadcast so I can post a link on my website and blog. Then people can hear for themselves how a respected lawyer had the courage to speak out about what so many were afraid to say. If Dr. Connor was afraid to sue me, I couldn't imagine the fear associated with the thought trying to file some BS defamation suit against Eric "The Bulldog" Deters. I know I would be there to testify for Mr. Deters but it won't happen because Dr. Connor knows the allegations are true.

Thanks Bulldog for saying what others are afraid to say. Thank you for calling out a perverted psychological quack like Dr. Connor. The reign of terror is almost over Dr. Connor. I wonder to whom Dr. Connor is going to run to cry about Mr. Deters "picking" on him? I didn't do this to you Ed Connor. Eric Deters didn't do this to you. You did it to yourself. Your sick perversions should play no role in custody evaluations or matters dealing with children. Thanks for helping children and families, Eric Deters and 700 WLW.

-Eric Deters is a substitute talk show host for 700WLW and has recently received quite a bit of airtime on the weekends. Mr. Deters' released his latest book, "Willie, Radio's Great American - The Story of Bill Cunningham, this past November. The Bulldog also has two restaurants, Bulldog's Roadhouse in Independence, KY and the newly opened Bulldog's on the Levy in Newport, KY. If you get a chance, stop into one of the Bulldog's restaurants.

Update on "Help Dan Brewington see his girls"

The Facebook group I started this past week is at 416 members and growing. Over a hundred members of "Help Dan Brewington see his girls" are people I don't know but they have joined the group in support of my cause. The Dearborn County Indiana good ol' boy network is no longer a secret to the outside world. People keep joining up to to help me take a stand against the abuse of children by the court system. If the government officials are not going to hold people like Judge James D Humphrey and Dr. Edward J Connor accountable for their actions, I will give the public a venue to hold Judge Humphrey and Dr. Connor publicly accountable. I want to thank everyone for their ongoing support. Keep spreading the word.

Join the group "Help Dan Brewington see his girls" on Facebook

Yesterday I started the Facebook group "Help Dan Brewington see his girls" and there are already close to 200 members. My goal is to get as many members as possible so "professionals" like Dr. Edward J Connor and Judge James D Humphrey will understand how many people are against taking away children's ability to see their parents. Please help me send the message to Dr. Edward J Connor that children should not be used as prostitutes for the financial gain of so many who profit off of divorce and child custody cases. With numbers, we can put pressure on judges and institutions that appoint "professionals" like Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates. If these judges and institutions become more aware of how many people know about the situation, they will be less likely to revert to appointing a bad psychologist out of convenience or loyalty. Please help me in my mission to be a father to my two daughters and to take a stand to protect children and families. Thank you.

Yahoo Reviews Removed Dr. Connor's Business Listing

Yahoo Business Reviews pulled Dr. Connor's business profile from the web. It appears that Dr. Connor wasn't pleased with the negative reviews he was receiving. Now Yahoo lists Dr. Kirk Little as the inhabitant of 34 Erlanger Rd. Erlanger, Kentucky 41018. The name changed but the phone and address remained the same. I decided to call Dr. Little's office at the number listed, 859-341-5782, and to my surprise, the number still belonged to Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates. I did some research and found that there was a Dr. Kirk Little on Houston Road in Florence, Kentucky. When I called Dr. Little's office, the woman told me that Dr. Little did not have another office. Why would Yahoo have a business listing for Kirk Little with Dr. Connor's number? Who contacted Yahoo and requested that Dr. Connor's review site be taken down? What's the purpose of review sites when the business owner has the ability to manipulate the content?

Just another shameless attempt by Dr. Connor to hide from responsibility. Here's an idea Ed; start telling the truth. If you take money to perform a service, do it right. Dr. Connor seems to enjoy filing erroneous child custody evaluation reports with courts and then charging the clients to fix the mistakes. (Goto www.DanHelpsKids.com for more information.) How can he get away with it? Because he is Ed Connor. Well I am Dan Brewington and I am helping people take a stand. You can stick to your guns Ed but you are slowly running out of people to believe your stories. Honesty would have served you well.

Dr. Edward J Connor, Mr. Predictable

Like clockwork, Dr. Connor appears to have done it again. I guess Dr. Connor must have been upset with the recent information I posted on the internet. Dr. Connor did what he always does; he contacted a county official to try to harm me, but I think people are getting wise to Dr. Connor's antics. Many people have expressed concerns that Dr. Connor may sue me because of my internet writings. The problem with Dr. Connor suing me for slander, libel, defamation of character, etc... is the burden of proof is on Dr. Connor to prove that my writings are false. If Dr. Connor sued me, he would have to give me a copy of the case file. So rather than sue me, Dr. Connor resorts to what he does best, tattling.

Dr. Connor has contacted at least two judges, a couple of prosecutors, and who knows who else and for some reason no one has locked me up. Dr. Connor is the bully on the playground who runs to the teacher the first time someone stands up to him; a true coward. Cowboy up Connor. Quit hiding. If you think you have been wronged, sue me and take the matter to court so you can explain to a jury why all of your conflicting and false written statements that are posted on my websites are really not conflicting and false written statements. Judges can protect Dr. Connor but not juries. I like to see the "expert forensic psychological professional" explain to a jury that I picked on him. He can give it the old, "Even though I didn't notice anything in my observations of Mr. Brewington that would lead me to believe he is capable of causing harm to anyone; and even though he has no history of violence, I think he could be dangerous because he keeps questioning why I lie about why I won't give Mr. Brewington a copy of his own file from my office." I'm sure the jury will buy it Doc. I'll be sure to have a very well known attorney to represent me on that one. Keep tattling Dr. Connor.

Dr. Edward J Connor appointed to evaluate the "Dexter" Killer

In late November 2009 near Rising Sun, Indiana, Andrew Conley, 17, confessed to law enforcement officials that he killed his ten year old brother . Conley told prosecutors he had fantasized since the eighth grade about beating someone to death and modeled himself after television serial killer "Dexter."

This is a horrible tragedy for the family of the two boys and the surrounding community. Emotion runs rampant in cases like these. Law enforcement officials reported that Conley showed no emotion when he confessed to strangling his ten year old brother. Conley told officials that he wanted to be like Dexter Morgan, the serial killer played by Michael C Hall in the Showtime series "Dexter." Dearborn/Ohio County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard put it bluntly, "He's a cold blooded murderer."

I would assume that there is no handbook on how to handle situations tragedies like this. The legal system is set up to protect the rights of the accused as well as the victims. There have to be evaluations, competency hearings, etc... to ensure there is a fair trial. Even though Conley confessed to killing his brother, if the trial is not handled properly, it could lead to unnecessary appeals and even mistrials. The Court has a responsibility to protect the rights of the accused no matter how guilty the accused may be. Who was one of the first professionals the Court appointed to evaluate Andrew Conley? Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates, PLLC.

"This Court is most concerned about Husband's irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor." Judge James D Humphrey wrote this in the final decree in my divorce. Judge Humphrey terminated my ability to see my children because he was most concerned about my "irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor." Why does Judge Humphrey find it necessary to protect the professional he often appoints? The only thing I did is question why Dr. Connor lied about why Dr. Connor would not release the case file from the child custody evaluation he performed during the course of my divorce hearing. Dr. Connor attacked me when I questioned his false statements. (For more information go to When Psychologists Attack on my website) Judge James D Humphrey denied my motion to appoint a guardian ad litem (GAL) to represent my children in the divorce. If Judge Humphrey was truly concerned about the welfare of my little girls, he would have appointed a GAL to protect them. Judge Humphrey denied my motion because he did not want another professional to find out how Judge Humphrey turned his back to the unethical and illegal conduct of Dr. Edward J Connor.

In a letter to my former attorney, dated November 11, 2009, Dr. Connor attached orders that Dr. Connor claimed prohibited him from releasing the case file from my evaluation. The fax heading on the orders that Dr. Connor sent my attorney, indicated that he received the orders from Judge James D Humphrey and opposing counsel Angela G Loechel. The orders were faxed from the Circuit Court and Ms. Loechel's office to Dr. Connor's office on October 22, 2009. Neither I nor my attorney at the time were copied to any of the correspondence between Dr. Connor, the Court and opposing counsel. I later found out that none of the correspondence was on the chronological case summary, which documents the case history. If Dr. Connor would not have sent my former attorney documents with the Court's fax heading at the top, there would have been no way that I would have known Judge Humphrey was communicating with Dr. Connor without my knowledge. Communication outside the presence of the parties is called ex parte communication. Judge Humphrey's actions are a violation of Judicial Canon 3 of the Indiana Judicial Code of Conduct. Why is Judge James D Humphrey conducting ex parte communications with Dr. Edward J Connor about my case? Are they talking about other cases as well. How often do they speak off of the Court record? How much money does Dr. Connor make off his appointments from Judge Humphrey? Are Dr. Connor and Judge Humphrey going to talk about Andrew Conley's case behind closed doors?

"[Dr. Connor] attributed Mullikin's addiction to child pornography to being sexually confused after becoming aroused while being spanked by a nun in fifth grade." -Jim Hannah, www.nky.com 1/13/2010

Dr. Connor testified for the defense of Kenneth Mullikin who was found guilty of possessing "sadistic and masochistic" child pornography. What will Dr. Connor testify to for the defense of Andrew Conley? Will Dr. Connor tell the truth? Will Dr. Connor conveniently blame all of Andrew Conley's problems on a TV show or possibly a spanking from a 5th grade teacher? Judge James D Humphrey and Prosecutor Aaron Negangard are aware that Dr. Connor lied in documents provided to the Court. They are aware that Dr. Connor made false written statements concerning his business practice and his involvement in a legal hearing. Judge Humphrey and Aaron Negangard are aware that Dr. Connor sent these documents via fax and US Mail, which Detective Mike Kreinhop, of the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit said was a federal offense. Judge James D Humphrey protects Dr. Connor's illegal conduct; Prosecutor Negangard and the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit turns their backs.

This year is an election year for Judge Humphrey. Why would Judge Humphrey appoint a psychologist that he knows is unethical? Because this is Judge Humphrey's guy. Judge Humphrey has been appointing Dr. Edward J Connor as a psychological expert long before Dr. Connor was licensed to practice psychology by the state of Indiana. Dr. Connor's "professional opinion" can mean the difference between Andrew Conley being eligible for parole in 20 years verses never being for eligible parole. Given the history of Judge Humphrey and Dr. Connor, they may already have decided which way to go.

Very Disturbing Dr. Edward J Connor

I'm having a hard time coming to grips with this one. I came across this article on nky.com. Once again Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates, PLLC is testifying in criminal court hearings. Dr. Connor testified at the sentencing hearing of Kenneth Lester Mullikin, of Fort Thomas, Kentucky. Mullikin was the former Campbell County Democratic Party chairman. Mullikin was found guilty of being in possession of "sadistic and masochistic images of children being raped." As troubling as this is, what may even be more disturbing is Dr. Connor's "professional explanation" of what caused Mr. Mullikin's actions. The article stated, "[Dr. Connor] attributed Mullikin's addiction to child pornography to being sexually confused after becoming aroused while being spanked by a nun in fifth grade."

WHAT? I really don't even know what to say. I think someone could become "sexually confused" from reading that statement. I don't have the education and experience that Dr. Connor has, but I don't think that I would be going out on a limb by saying a fifth grader who becomes sexually aroused when being spanked by a nun probably has some pre-existing problems. Nuns spanking fifth graders do not cause addictions to child pornography. If this was the case, there would be a lot more people addicted to child pornography. Watching Sally Field in "The Flying Nun" probably causes more sexual deviance then getting spanked by nuns in the fifth grade. This is the same person who oversees the psychology staff at the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. Dr. Connor is responsible for determining the lives of children in custody evaluations. I wonder how long it took Dr. Connor to figure out that Mullikin's problems were due to being sexually aroused while being spanked by a nun in the fifth grade? Dr. Connor claimed he had a hard time understanding me because I had ADHD. I wonder what U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves thought when he heard Dr. Connor's testimony? I just hope someone will do something about Dr. Edward J Connor before he has the opportunity to hurt other children.

Someone Named "legaleagle" said my Web Content is Garbage

It's a sad day for me. Someone wrote on the Yahoo Business review of Dr. Edward J Connor, that my internet content was garbage and that I was mentally ill. Of course this person hid behind the screen name legaleagle when they wrote these "mean" things. Did I say that I was sad? Actually I find it to be quite gratifying. Now there are two people on the Yahoo review site that have personally attacked me for holding Dr. Connor accountable for his actions. That means someone is very upset. I think it may be Dr. Connor because his practice has probably suffered a little since I began publicizing his unethical and illegal conduct. Please take note that I have never been sued as a result of my writings against Dr. Connor, Judge Humphrey, or anyone else involved. If I have said something slanderous, I welcome those who believe it to be slander to make it a legal issue. You can bring your evidence and I will bring mine. The thing that bothers people in the family court system is that they don't have quite the power outside of the system. If Dr. Connor sues me, then judges, lawyers, law enforcement officials, elected officials, state officials, prosecutors, and psychologists get subpoenaed. One crooked judge like James D Humphrey doesn't get to decide the whole case, it's decided by a jury of my peers. As Clint would say, "Go ahead, make my day." The day Dr. Connor sues me is the day that he turns himself in to the police. I take great pride in knowing that Dr. Connor will read or has read this post. Enjoy Ed.

P.S. After I originally posted the above blog, "Someone Named legalea..." , it came to my attention that two anonymous people, "??" and "Just Me(LOL)", posted negative information about me on The Dearborn County Public Forum. For those who think that I appear to "obsess" over the situation, try to think of what you would do if you lost your ability to see your children even though there was no evidence or accusations of neglect, abuse, accident, injury, etc... As much as Dr. Connor attacked me for publicizing his unethical conduct, even Dr. Connor testified that I should be able to exercise parenting time with the children on the days which their mother worked. Dr. Connor had no choice. That's what Dr. Connor recommended in his custody evaluation report. In the evaluation report, there was no mention of me being mentally unstable or anything that indicated that I presented any threat to anyone. Dr. Connor only began to attack me regarding his "concerns" about my stability after the custody evaluation was over. When I addressed his unethical and illegal conduct with the Court and the public, Dr. Connor said he was concerned about my mental health. No police action, no social services, child protective services, etc... just a crooked psychologist running from responsibility. Imagine if this happened to you. If the worst thing you did was exercise your 1st amendment right to freedom of speech, you handled the situation better than most. Keep the attacks coming anonymous people. If you think the State should have the ability to take away someone's children because you treated the State's expert unfairly, then you don't deserve your rights under the Constitution of the United States of America.

Thanks,

Dan Brewington, father of two beautiful little girls

My Office Staff Ate My Homework

Sounds like a pretty pathetic excuse. The people involved with the family court system often preach about people taking responsibility for their actions. Dr. Edward J Connor chooses to blame everyone else.

“With regard to the Office Policy Statement, we do not have a signed Office Policy Statement for you on file. It appears you were not provided with this document when you initially came to our office, which was an oversight on the part of the office staff.” -Dr. Edward J Connor September 9, 2009.

“There was a form that was incorrectly given to Ms. Brewington from our secretary at the time, who is no longer with us.” -Dr. Edward J Connor’s testimony in the transcripts from the May 27, 2009 hearing.

“The form [Office Policy Statement] that Ms. Brewington signed is -- was incorrectly given to her by my secretary at the time.” -Dr. Edward J Connor’s testimony in the May 27, 2009 hearing.

“I don’t recall. My secretary would have done that.” -Dr. Edward J Connor’s testimony in the May 27, 2009 hearing. This was in response to my question asking Dr. Connor whom he contacted first when he discovered there were “numerous errors and oversights” in his report.

Ed Connor- “I don’t recall that – I – I did not contact her. My secretary may have, at that time. It’s possible that she might have called to see if she wanted an interview time. I don’t recall.”
Dan Brewington- “That’s not in the evaluation, the attempted phone call.”
Ed Connor- “Okay. Then apparently my secretary did not call.” -Dr. Connor claimed my mother was scheduled to be interviewed but never showed up. That may be because he never contacted my mother.

Dr. Connor blamed his office staff for failing to provide me with a copy of the Office Policy Statement. Then Dr. Connor blamed his secretary for having my Ex sign the document. Dr. Connor testified that his secretary was to blame for many of the communication problems during the course of the evaluation yet Dr. Connor still attacked me for questioning his ethics. Another problem Dr. Connor had with his office staff was his office manager was the subject of an FBI investigation for making $126,558.13 of unauthorized credit card charges with Dr. Connor’s corporate credit card. Not only did Dr. Connor fail to oversee his secretary’s practices during the course of conducting evaluations, Dr. Connor failed to notice that his office manager was using his credit cards until the total reached $126,558.13. The following is a press release from the US Department of Justice, dated Friday March 20, 2009:

FLORENCE RESIDENT PLEADS GUILTY TO CREDIT CARD FRAUD
COVINGTON, KY—Catherine Cahill, 47, of Florence, Ky., pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning to an Information which charged her with Unlawful Use of a Credit Card.
Cahill was employed as office manager at Edward Connor & Associates, a general psychological services firm. She was authorized to make necessary purchases with a corporate credit card for the functioning of the business. Cahill used the corporate credit card to make authorized business purchases along with unauthorized personal purchases. These unauthorized personal purchases totaled $126,558.13.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The United States was represented in the case by Assistant United States Attorney Benjamin G. Dusing.

In a letter to Judge Carl H Taul, dated April 1, 2008, Dr. Connor wrote, “I am concerned as to Mr. Brewington’s intentions regarding this case file.” Dr. Connor testified that his “office staff” was not competent to schedule interviews or to provide documents to participants in custody evaluations and Dr. Connor’s office manager was investigated by the FBI for over a hundred thousand dollars worth of credit card fraud. I believe that is reason enough to question the accuracy of the information behind a report that affects the lives of my children.

If you have any questions about the welfare of children who are victims of Dr. Connor’s evaluations, please feel free to contact the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology at 502-564-3296. Feel free to contact Assistant Attorney General Mark Brengelman at 502-696-5627. You can also email Mr. Brengelman at Mark.Brengelman@ag.ky.gov and express your concerns regarding the Board’s ruling that Dr. Connor’s conduct is not an “apparent violation” of the laws governing psychology.

"Have Fun This Holiday Season"

This is the message on the Christmas cards that my family and I received from my Ex-wife. The Christmas card had a picture of my children who my family and I haven't seen for over four months. This is the same woman who has refused to let me speak to my children on the phone since September 4, 2009. There is a picture of my children on the card and the card reads "Have fun this Holiday Season", from my Ex and my girls.

My Ex-wife said I was confrontational and unstable. She said that I was intimidating. Her family said some of the same things in the custody evaluation. My Ex and her family did everything in their power to make me out to be a bad father. They succeeded and as a result of their efforts, I have not seen my children in over four months. So what does she do at Christmas time? She sends cards with a picture of my girls that state, "Have fun this Holiday Season." The same person who worked to take away my little girls from me and my family is sending Christmas cards with her name on it. I would love to get pictures of the girls. My Ex didn't even send me a copy of my oldest daughter's kindergarten school picture. She sent copies to some of my family but not me. My oldest hasn't sent me one written letter since Judge James D Humphrey terminated my visitation. I receive letters written by my Ex that are "from" the girls.

My Ex stated in the custody evaluation that she thought I could have equal weekend time with the children "if I was stable." She even went as far as to sign extra documents during the child custody evaluation with Dr. Edward J Connor and successfully argued that the documents she signed prevented me from having access to the evaluation case file. She and Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates conspired to obstruct my access to the evaluation case file. My Ex and her family portrayed me as some kind of menacing madman. If she truly believed that I was dangerous and unstable, why would she be sending Christmas cards with pictures of my daughters to my family telling us to "Have Fun This Holiday Season"? Why does she continue to antagonize my family when she has the power to correct the situation to enable the girls to see their father? She doesn't want me to be a part of the girls' lives. She probably considers herself to be an independent single woman. She worked hard to make it that way.

This should serve as an important message for parents who are involved in a divorce and/or custody disputes. Don't use you children as ammunition. Don't use your children as bait. It's a bittersweet moment when you get the first picture of your children together in four months. You love to see your children but you remember how much it hurts that you haven't seen them. Every time I look at the picture of my girls, I have to read the Holiday Greeting from the person who refuses to let the children talk to me on the phone. If your wish is to hurt the other parent, be careful because your wish may come true and you may make your children fatherless.

I bet the girls had a good Christmas. I often wonder what her family thinks of the situation. I thought I had a good relationship with her extended family. They trusted me with their elderly uncle and his handicapped accessible van. They trusted me to give their children rides on four wheelers. They trusted me to watch their kids. I guess her extended family now believes that I am not capable of being a father to the girls just because my Ex says so. I couldn't imagine enabling my daughters to do what my Ex's family has enabled her to do. I would never lie about the father of my grandchildren just to help my daughter eliminate the father from the children's lives. That's what they did.

I made the most out of my Christmas. I had a good time spending Christmas with my family. We made the most out of Christmas despite not being able to see my daughters. The new year is coming and it will be a new year of opportunity and action. Hopefully it won't be long before a dad and his little girls are reunited. Merry Christmas my little angels, Daddy is still working hard to see you.

Keep the Emails Coming

So far the reaction from the new site (www.DanHelpsKids.com) has been positive. Feel free to contact me to let me know of any broken links, spelling errors, etc... If you'd like to share any information or experiences that you have had with Dr. Edward J Connor, Judge James D Humphrey, or any other individual in the family court system, I would be happy to hear it. There is no reason people should fear sharing their experiences in the family court system.

Thank you for your support.

The New Site is UP

Being a rookie to web design, I wasn't aware of a thing called browser compatibility and that Microsoft Publisher is not a good program to use if you want your website to work on a variety of web browsers. I bought Adobe Dreamweaver this past week and learned enough in time to get about half of the new version of the website I designed in the past month. I should be getting the rest up soon. Check it out. www.DanHelpsKids.com. Thanks.

How Judge James D. Humphrey tried to ruin my life.

This was in the October 15, 2009 edition of the Versailles Republican. The Republican serves the Ripley County, Indiana area. I entered the 4.5 year marriage with nothing and came out of it $165,470.80 in debt. We didn't own a house, have any investments or other property. We lived rent and utility free in my family's farm house. My father set up a trust in 1998; just weeks before he died of cancer. This was a year before I met my ex-wife. I'm not entitled to the assets in the trust until my mother passes away. My mother has the ability to use all of the assets of the trust if she falls victim to Alzheimer's or any other long term illness. My ex went after a trust that I might not even get and Judge James D. Humphrey awarded her everything she asked for, including forcing me to pay $40,000 out of $50,000 of her legal fees. This monetary atrocity pales in comparison to the fact that Judge Humphrey terminated all of my parenting time with my 3 and 5 year old children. They went from being with their dad nearly half the time to nothing. My ex won't even let me talk to the girls. My entire family is devastated because the girls were ripped from us. The girls were everything to my retired mother and Judge Humphrey made me out to be an irresponsible parent because grandma liked to pick the children up and spend time with them. I missed the first day of pre-school and kindergarden. I won't be able to see my daughter on her 6th birthday. I probably won't be able to even wish my girls a Merry Christmas. A 4.5 year marriage and a 2.5 year divorce cost me my children and $165,470.80. All I ever wanted was equal time with my children. I love you girls. Daddy is working hard to see you.
