xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, xxxxxx xxxxx RE: Kirk v. Kirk Dear Xxxx, I just read Shepard's Opinion on the transfer in Kirk. It would be absolutely unreasonable and illogical for a father not to have a "chip on his shoulder" after being treated the way Mr. Kirk had been treated. There is such gender bias in the appellate courts of Indiana, I want to vomit. In divorce cases, how many times is the father described as having a temper? If we disqualified every father who is identified as having a temper, no father would ever obtain custody or even get reasonable visitation. I don't need to go through this Opinion and point out to you the anti-male comments. The sarcastic comment about Kirk transferring to Rockford, Illinois, was put there as a suggestion that he really didn't want contact with his child. Why do courts continue to allow the mother to make a false accusation of child molestation with impunity? Even though I don't do a lot of divorce work, I have had this happen on two occasions. In one instance, we went through a four day Class A felony criminal trial with a not guilty verdict in less than two hours. You can imagine what that did to the relationship between the father and his daughters. I know there is no way for your client to understand that there was no way for you to effectively win this case. I understand what happened and just wanted to take the time to drop you a note. Sincerely yours, Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxx |
