Family court message
I’m a pro se litigant in Snohomish County Superior Court (case number provided privately) seeking help following a custody process I believe was fundamentally compromised. Over four years I filed three motions; the opposing side filed nearly a dozen. My 11-year-old daughter was removed from my custody based on a same-day letter co-signed by the court-appointed evaluator and GAL, written explicitly in response to opposing counsel’s email — before any evidentiary hearing or finding of unfitness (no trial, hearing, or testimony by experts or witnesses). My double board-certified expert was blocked by motion in limine; his report contradicted the court-ordered evaluator. Two criminal referrals regarding sexual assault of my daughter were declined, following an unprotocoled interview where a visitation supervisor reports the evaluator told my daughter her memory “was not correct.” I signed a CR2A settlement under duress to avoid $200,000 in sanctions and a worse outcome, facing state actors aligned against me and paid by my ex-husband — including opposing counsel, a former criminal defense attorney who also served as a pro tem commissioner at the same courthouse and as president of the board for Legal Services of Snohomish County. Public records now show that attorney was communicating with prosecutors before they declined the referrals. The same day a DVPO was granted against my ex-husband regarding this child, the reunification therapist let him unilaterally sign a services contract — reflecting, I believe, the same pattern of actors positioning him for custody regardless of the DVPO findings. I also have a documented suicide attempt by my daughter in his care, and a state court order signed the morning I filed federal removal papers, without proper notice or service to me — an order that itself acknowledges awareness of the removal, which I believe renders it void under 28 U.S.C. § 1446. I’m pursuing a CR60 motion to vacate that order, an enforcement motion for parenting-plan violations, and a possible federal civil rights refiling, and I’m seeking an advocate or attorney to help navigate these overlapping tracks.
