| Update on the Kouvakas Case |
| "All the cards were marked in advance. The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance." - Bob Dylan, Hurricane |
| What is the current status of the Kouvakas case? Well, after Bonaventura awarded sole custody of the minor child to Renee, the mother, against the overwhelming weight of evidence and against the advice of psychological professionals, John Kouvakas was forced into an "agreed" visitation schedule. John Kouvakas is currently allowed only TWO HOURS OF SUPERVISED VISITATION EVERY OTHER WEEK WITH HIS CHILD. This is partly due to the fact that as soon as Renee was granted sole custody, she ran out of state with their child to Kentucky. Then visitation takes places in Indianapolis because it is located mid-way. John must drive 4 to 6 hours round-trip drive just to have a 2 hour visit with his son. This is a nealry identicle punishment Terry Cook was given (see the final court order in Cook's case). As if this were not insulting enough to John Kouvakas, because of his relentless insistence on his parental rights, the court labeled him "angry" and in need of "anger management therapy." This is a common ploy used by the courts against fathers who stand up to the corruption and demand justice. Any man who takes an active role in fighting for his child will certainly be ordered into "anger management therapy." Apparently, men who are "not angry" are those who simply walk away from the injustice of having their children stolen from them in a court-sanctioned kidnapping in silence with their heads down. If they don't, they are need of sensitivity training. This is tantamount to starving a man for a prolonged time, then when he complains of hunger, claim he cannot control his appetite and then order him into "hunger management therapy". It is especially clear that John's order to "anger management therapy" was strictly punitive since Timothy S. Gobel, MSW, wrote an open letter to the court and the attorneys stating "John shows no signs of violent tendencies." But again, to judges like Mary Beth Bonaventura and Christina Miller, this letter is merely evidence that is routinely ignored if it does not mesh with their gender-biased worldview. In Lake County's court system "facts" are only temporary obstacles. They are easily overcome by corrupt judges like Mary Beth Bonaventura who are determined to legislate based on their personal prejudices. A final word on the "agreed" visitation schedule. After Renee was granted custody she decided she no longer "agreed" with the "agreement". No surprise here. In fact she refused to sign it even after telling the court she agreed to it. She also withheld visitation from John. This went on for a year. John's lawyer at the time filed a motion asking the new judge (Dywan) to do something about Renee's contempt (see the Motion below). Would the judge? Of course not. And a full hearing, which would be scheduled, no doubt, far into the future and cost an him another estimated $9,737.50 (see below). No small sum to come up with, especially for a father who has already been deliberately bankrupted by a court system that uses financial pressure to overburden fathers with unmanageable debt intended to ruin them and send them on their way. Once they have your money and your children, they are done with you. Then these elitist judges and their attorney pals wait to feed off of the next hapless father falls into the moral cesspool of the Lake County Family Court. |

| $8,362.50 + 1,375.00 $ 9,737.50 THE COST FOR ONE HEARING!!! Apparently all the evidence gathered over the previous years is NOT enough. Can you see how the courts bankrupt fathers into submission and attempt to drive them away from their children? |
