"The purpose of a law suit is to discourage
rather than win!" -- L. Ron Hubbard
OCTOBER 16, 2000
CIVIL CASE:
Laura Padgett filed a motion for protective relief attempting
to prevent routine discovery of financial and medical records.
Her motion was sustained to the extent that depositions shall
take place "in court" rather than a normal forum of a law office.
The Judge, a local maternal family friend, can instantly strike
discovery questions rendering an environment of court sanctioned
obstruction of justice. Laura Padgett is the complaining witness
in the criminal action against her ex Tom Padgett - a declared
SP enemy of the Church of Scientology.
Since Laura Padgett filed this motion requiring Tom to return
to Kentucky from Massachusetts, he filed supplementary motions
in response to her continued litigious conduct.
Most importantly, a motion was filed to require prevention of:
1. CHILD/PARENT ALIENATION SYNDROME - an A.P.A. diagnosis when
one parent keeps a child or children from another, and
2. PERMANENT ESTRANGEMENT - a negative phenomena strongly warned
to the court in March of 1996 in this case by expert witness
Rev. Dennis Erlich.
3. DISCONNECTION - a mandatory severance between Scientologists
and their family members, friends, and loved ones which sadly
includes young innocent children against their will and wishes.
4. CHILD ABUSE - a vast harm acknowledged by most child psychologists
and child psychiatrists when one parent's unchecked anger motivates
keeping children from the other parent. Additionally noted
was the potential harm caused by Hubbard's Child Dianetics alternative
mental health theories and application as noted at: www.taxexemptchildabuse.net
Essentially this motion was to restore and unrestrict visitation
between a father and his minor son. This motion was not ruled
on,but was sent back to a court-appointed Domestic Relations
Commissioner to be heard thus requiring yet even more litigation.
Tom Padgett moved the Madisonville, Kentucky court to strike
the testimony of locally appointed psychologist Donna Nichols,
whose professional integrity and ethics in the case was impeached
by a 1997 investigation by her licensing agency, The Kentucky
State Board of Psychology. The judge overruled this stating
that state governmental agencies regulating professional conduct
has no authority nor carries any weight in his courtroom!!!
A motion filed to get an actual written order for a legal guardian
ad litem for the minor child involved of which the parties agreed
to one in July 1999, was overruled. The judge's comments were
there was no need for one in this case and in a round about
way stated he didn't want any "outsiders" from Hopkins County
involved. The July 1999 agreement appointed a candidate from
Louisviile, 2 1/2 hours to the east of Madisonville. The father
disagreed that the child needed his own legal guardian since
the mother only wanted to settle their parental differences
through more litigation in the courts (her parents hometown
court.)
A motion filed for routine discovery of Laura Padgett's income
through the signed releases of IRS 4506 forms from 1994 to current,
was overruled. Tom Padgett objected strenuously as the court
sustained an earlier motion from Laura Padgett requiring the
same of him. Statutes mandate the discovery of both parties'
incomes and financial information to determine support obligation
and the awarding of attorneys' fees and court costs. Tom has
provided all of his, Laura's will remain a secret in a very
unfair environment of unilateral discovery where bilateral disclosure
should be the norm in any jurisdiction. Experts and others
concerned, have opinioned this was a strategy to prevent discovery
of exorbitant amounts of monies flowing to and from various
Scientology organizations, front groups and Laura Padgett including
sizable "donations!" This ruling complicates the criminal action
filed by Laura Padgett, since Tom had a Pre-trial Diversion
Agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky that discovery of
all factors leading up to the current child support disputes
would occur to resolve that case! Technically he's now in default
and this could be yet another trick to get him back into prison.
This judge is the same magistrate presiding in both cases -
a dreadful and fatal conflict of interest.
A motion for a partial ruling on a past motion for reduction
of support obligation was deferred back to the local Domestic
Relations Commissioner to be heard. Tom called the Kentucky
Child Support Enforcement in Frankfort re: emancipated children
issues rendering a discovery that he had been "overpaying" child
support by fifty percent (50%) for the past 29 months since
the older child reached 18 and had graduated from high school
in May of 1998. He wanted immediate credit and adjustments
made as it would dramatically effect the outcome of the criminal
case putting the horse before the cart. The older child, a daughter
who has denounced scientology, is in college and has indicated
that she wants any support to be directly from her dad rather
than through her mom.
Tom's motion to the court for an Order requiring Laura to attend
the mandatory Hopkins County Parent Education Class for divorcing
parties was overruled. Tom attended the class in October 1998.
The Judge noted that rule went into effect in early 1998 long
after this action was filed in 1992 - a good "legal" response
but not a valid psychological reason. The Judge did, however,
"recommend" Laura to attend to appear reasonable, but would
not order it. Since the class is facilitated by psychologists,
Laura cannot attend as taboo per LRH policy. Hubbard defines
"psychology'' in his book Child Dianetics as; "A cult which
rose and expired in the first half of the 20th century."
Tom Padgett filed a "notice of objection" with the court noting
that Laura's civil attorney was covertly flaunting that he
has the judge in his back pocket in this case and that this
is making it difficult to retain and maintain local representation
for the father. The judge didn't touch this matter.
To summarize the outcome of this 10-16-00 day in court, in Scientology's
Doubt Formula (alleged to be technology,) Hubbard instructs;
"Decide whether it (the person or group,) should be attacked,
harmed, suppressed, or helped."
