| As Dr. Richard Gardner observed through his experience with judges in the Family Court system, when faced with decisions that are not aligned with their personal worldview, judges deliberately drag their feet in issuing decisions. Aside from the immediate relief from making a difficult personal decision this gives, judges also are hopeful that the increasing financial strain on fathers will eventually force them into walking away. This would relieve the judge of the difficult task of issuing a verdict that is personally unpalatable. No one has ever said that being a judge was an easy assignment. However, the willingness to rule in accordance with the facts and setting aside personal preferences is a must for judges to be worthy of respect. In the Kirk matter, this ‘stalling strategy’ was used by both Magistrate Christina Miller as well as Judge Mary Beth Bonaventura. However, Garry Kirk remained steadfast in his determination not to give up his struggle to have a relationship with his daughter, no matter what the cost or the delay. Still, the cost was high and continues to grow--far higher that it should have been. Kirk has spent his entire life-savings, traded down on the car he drives from a Honda Prelude to a GEO Prism and depleted all of his retirement account. Still,Garry Kirk counts himself as more fortunate than most men. How many men are can’t afford the financial hardship or tremendous emotional burden demanded by constant fight against judges like Miller and Bonaventura who refuse to take meaningful action to bring an immediate action to restore a father-daughter relationship. Being a judge requires one to make decisions based on expert testimony and the objective evidence in spite of one's own personal prejudices. Individuals like Christina Miller and Mary Beth Bonaventura who cannot or will not act with integrity when confronted by these difficult decisions are not qualified to assume this authority. They are unfit to sit in judgment over anyone or anything. Listed below is a history of the expenses billed to Garry Kirk. This does not include any consideration for lost time from work and miscellaneous expenses: |
