NO CONTACT AGREEMENT
HISTORY/BACKGROUND. Practitioners of Dianetics and Scientology are
required by L. Ron Hubbard policy and scripture to "disconnect" (have
no contact) with any declared SP (suppressive person) enemies. The
sect members' adherence to these beliefs are anchored in the
alternative behavioral science's doctrine to avoid entheta (bad news)
and not to be exposed to "potential trouble sources" (PTS's).
Disconnection also eliminates any possible enturbulation (feeling
upset) from those individuals or groups who do not believe in
Scientology folklore and Dianetic practices.
I, Laura Vannoy Padgett, wish to have no contact wit the father of my children as expressed through my counselors-at-law.
I, Thomas Carter Padgett, while I do not share in these alternative mental health care beliefs and resulting behaviors, will respect the wishes of the mother of my children.
Accordingly, we both agree not to have any contact with each other, except where the health, well being, and future of our adult children is compelling and imperative. Any breach of this Agreement, by either party, will be resolved through social services counseling, or via professional mediation and/or arbitration to avoid future damaging and caustic civil or criminal litigation such as archived at www.madvillelaw.net.

RE: Thomas Padgett/No. 98-CR-067 (Via Fax Transmission 270-824-7051)
Dear Judge Boteler:
This office has been retained by Thomas Padgett to communicate wit the Court, and the departments of interest in the above matter.
Mr. Padgett has been in jail for 27 days here in Rhode Island, apprehended under the pretense that his son Beau was coming to visit him and arriving at T.F. Green Airport here in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Thomas Padgett is fully prepared to make himself available to the Court, post bail, travel at his own expense, and file suitable counsel to defend an address the motion of the Commonwealth's attorney, David Massamore, originally scheduled for June 3, 2002. (As our Honor is aware, Mr. Padgett has a considerable cash escrow fund, still on deposit with the Court). He has neck, leg, and back pain, exacerbated by his incarceration. Rhode Island is looking for direction from your Court on this matter.
I have spoken with Mr. Dees, Tom Padgett's former probation officer, to inform him of these matters, as well as David Massamore. The latter authorized me to contact you ex parte, and offered no objection to the above proposal, in an effort to clarify the status of the case. He directed me to you based on the issuance of the warrant from the bench.
Mr. Padgett only requires ample time to hire counsel, a date certain for the hearing on the Commonwealth's motion; and, most importantly, your Honor's communication with the authorities here in Rhode Island to permit his release. You may recall that the original bench warrant in this matter specified bail of $5,000.
May I take the liberty to speak with our law clerk to follow up on this letter, if your Honor is not available? Your attention to same is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours, (signed) Michael A. Mosco, Esq.

COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY HOPKINS CIRCUIT COURT MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY 42431 CIVIL ACTION NO. 98-CR-067
LAURA VANOY PADGETT, PETITIONER
VS. ORDER
THOMAS CARTER PADGETT, RESPONDENT
This matter was before the court upon a motion filed by the
Commonwealth and the subsequent issuance of a bench warrant for
failure to appear. The defendant was taken into custody in Rhode
Island. The Sheriff of Hopkins County transported him to the Hopkins
County Detention Facility pending a hearing set on October 8, 2002.
The defendant was present in court and was represented by the
Department of Public Advocacy. The Commonwealth was represented by
the Commonwealth's Attorney and Probation and Parole.
Prior to the hearing the defense counsel moved to set aside the
felony pretrial diversion to allow the defendant to be sentenced for
non support. The record confirms that all arrearages have been paid
and that future child support has been paid as well. The Commonwealth
agreed to allow the pretrial diversion to be set aside with a
misdemeanor sentencing conditioned upon the defendant paying for the
entire cost of transporting him from Rhode Island; payment of unpaid
court cases costs and no contact with Laura Padgett.
As the felony arrearages and future child support have now been
satisfied, the Court sustains the motion to set aside the diversion
and to sentence the defendant to twelve (12) months for the
misdemeanor of non support.
WHEREFORE, by agreement of the parties, the felony pre trial diversion is set aside and the defendant is sentenced to twelve (12) months under KRS 630.050. The defendant is entitled to credit for time served. The balance of his sentence is conditionally discharged upon payment in full of court courts, transportation costs to transport him from Rhode Island; upon there being no further violations of Kentucky law, and, no further contact with Laura Padgett. This the ______________ day of October, 2002.

LAURA VANOY PADGETT, PETITIONER
VS. ORDER
THOMAS CARTER PADGETT, RESPONDENT
This matter is before the Court on the petitioner's Motion to
Reconsider and Make Additional Findings. After careful review of the
record as well as the petitioner's motion, the Court declines to
disturb its prior order of July 30, 2002 as it relates to child
support. The Court will clarify the issue concerning attorney fees in
that its interpretation of the commissioner's report is that said
determination applies only to this particular hearing and not to prior
awards. As such, the Court will not alter the commissioner's findings
as to the same.

COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY HOPKINS CIRCUIT COURT MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY 42431 CIVIL ACTION NO. 92-CI-0444
LAURA VANOY PADGETT, PETITIONER
VS. ORDER
THOMAS CARTER PADGETT, RESPONDENT
This matter is before the Court to address exceptions filed by both
the petitioner, Laura Vanoy Padgett, and the respondent, Thomas Carter
Padgett, to the Report and Recommendations of the Domestic Relations
Master Commissioner which was filed on April 12, 2002.
After carefully reviewing the commissioner's report as well as the exceptions of the parties, the Court Orders as follows:
1. The petitioner, Laura Vanoy Padgett, addresses the issue of visitation in her Brief in Support of Exception; that she submitted to the Court. However, the commissioner's report and recommendations of April 12, 2002 only considers the issue of child support and calculation of arrearage. Additionally, the petitioner's exceptions only contain issues relation to child support. It was not until she submitted her brief that she brought up any issue relating to visitation. Thus, the Court will decline to enter an opinion as to any change in visitation at this time. If the parties continue to disagree concerning visitation and there is additional discussion to be heard by the Court, either party may file a Motion to Modify Visitation and said matter will be taken up at that time.
2. As to the child support and calculation of arrearage, the commissioner engaged in a lengthy discussion as to the history of child support in this case as well as her calculations based on the same. It appears to this Court that her calculations and recommendations were appropriate and adopts the findings of commissioner's report, filed on April 12, 2002, in its entirety.
The Court will also note that the approximately eleven thousand dollars ($11,000) that the respondent posted as part of his criminal case was not considered in calculating the commissioner's figures. Because the arrearage has been eliminated, there is no reason that said funds cannot be refunded to him (or to whomever they belong) upon an appropriate motion in that case. 3. Therefore, the Court Overrules both parties' Exceptions to the Commissioner's Report and Recommendations. This is a final and appealable order. This the 30th day of July, 2002.

Dear Tom,
In the end, Scientology will lose this battle. Don't give in, don't give up. Fight the good fight. I personally ant front row, center seats at the trial of the century when the tide turns and you take them and their corrupt agents to court for every outrageous thing they have done to you…alienation of affection of your children, stalking, slander, libel, false reports to police agencies, malice, intentional infliction of emotional distress, judicial corruption, economic loss (jobs, excessive court fees), etc ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
See if the good State of Rhode Island can convene a Grand Jury and investigate your situation before it allows extradition. Just because you may have pre-signed extradition papers doesn't mean those paper are valid since the signing was coerced.
Keith Henson also fears prison because of Scientology's presence through its Criminon network. That's why he's a political refugee in Canada, as I am sure you are well aware.
Hang tough, weed hopper. God has given you some mighty big trials, but in the end truth will prevail. And who knows, maybe He is using you and your situation to develop His case against Scientology. (I really want front row, center seats at the trial! Yee-haw!)
Sincerely, (signed) Cheryl Sola

Letter to: Tom Padgett
From: Mark
Dated: October 6, 2002
Dear Tom:
I'd normally ask how you were but under the circumstances it would seen frivolous.
I am disappointed as you must be that events transpired to find you in a Kentucky jail.
As the same time I am heartened and optimistic that, in spite of the enormous discomfort, an opportunity exists to endgame the situation.
I encourage you to resist bitterness, to resist blame, to resist victimology…to embrace your situation, to be proud of your capacity to endure over the years and be strong in your commitment to see these processes to their culmination.
You are in a unique position of leadership. It is not jut Tom Padgett. You represent something extremely cogent and alive and worthwhile to many people out here who have been damaged by this malevolent cult and you have a responsibility, sought or not, to act positively and with enthusiasm.
To achieve your goal you must continue to do the things you think you cannot do.
If you ring forth what is inside you it will save you, if you do not bring forth what is inside you, it will destroy you.
What is inside you is a good and productive and caring man. You must bring that forward. The anger, bitterness, unforgiving stance…all the negative stuff brewing is a mechanism which hides your true self, hides what is inside you.
It is not uncommon, this negative mechanism, something I maintenance all the time, but hat negative stuff is destructive to your cause. And yours is a cause which I support and will continue to support.
I have not commented on your situation on OCB because I think it is best and I know your expressed the same sentiments. Just know there is an outpouring of support for you. Bless them all.
Tom, this too shall pass. And all these experiences, all these challenges, and these tears and fears will make for very good and positive growth and experience.
I am in touch with Tigger almost daily and with Nancy, too. Anything you want to communicate to me please do so through them.
Warmest regards to you and peace and love…
Mark
