The developments seen today in Family Court are IMO a profoundly disappointing development for the Farber family and 5 children.
For the children and their long term mental health IMO these events should not be played out for public consumption. I believe strongly that a gag and total seal should be placed on the entire Family Court matter immediately.
To pick up the paper today to read about GF alleged mental health issues and the shocking claims of FD and Rochlin with zero evidence is something that neither the public nor the family needs to hear. It now appears that Pattis and Pattis patsy Rochlin have finished thrashing missing/murdered JD for now and are simply moving on to 85 year old GF. IMO its shameful and absolutely despicable while being all sadly predictable that this would be their pathetic playbook. Pattis/Rochlin can't argue their case IMO on the 'merits' of their client because as Judge Heller talked about for 12 pages in her recent order, such merits simply don't exist within FD.
It looks like Pattis and Pattis patsy Rochlin are taking a deep dive into the cesspit of pity and the refrain of 'poor poor pitiful me' that seems to be soundtrack that surrounds FD and drives his behavior. There is no voice of reason in the FD legal team at all and we are simply seeing IMO more random lashing out using the CT legal system because its an available option. Fighting to fight is rarely a good strategy IMO and that seems to be what is going on here because there is no way that FD would qualify even for visitation with his children let alone custody now or in the near future. If/when murder charges are filed IMO its game over and even if prosecuted for tampering/hindering and no murder FO is looking at possibly 10 years in prison. What are they hoping to accomplish by legally tormenting and torturing an 85 year grieving mother? Possibly her death? IDK
I have not been a 'fan' of much that Judge Heller has done to manage the family court case and so I've chosen to defer to family court regulars and experts like
@gitana1 for guidance in understanding this portion of the legal world that is foreign to me. But I do feel capable to assess a document and judicial order produced by the court and for my money Judge Heller's 12 page order giving temporary custody to GF was carefully thought out and gave absolute consideration to every aspect of the Dulos v Dulos case that had played out in court for nearly 2 years. While she did mention FD taking the 5th in Family court, IMO it was by no means the only reason she granted custody to GF. If Pattis/Rochlin and FD can't see this, then I'm not sure what more can be said. I guess we will see how the appeal goes!
Rochlin seems to be hanging his hat and his arguments on the 'stolen psych report' being favorable to his client. To focus on a single document in a court file of nearly 500 motions IMO simply misses the picture of the well established history of FD as a father and a human being. It seems to me that the FD delusional behavior is spreading to the entire legal team. Rochlin had a choice as a legal professional IMO to take a stand on the overall situation and his choice was to go down the path of torturing GF and questioning her mental health. If we had any doubts as to Rochlin and his motivation in this case, IMO its become crystal clear now.
I look forward to reading what Pattis/Rochlin actually said in their 6 page motion to the court along with the response of Atty Dranginis, who with over 20 years on the bench will no doubt put this Pattis/Rochlin motion percisely where it belongs. I do hope Judge Heller does something to restore order in her court as her management seems lax at best as we most recently saw with the 'stolen psych report'/handling of Pattis dismissal from Family Court/GAL situation and the overall situation with the attys is rapidy spiraling out of control IMO. The 5 Dulos children IMO deserve better than this from the State of CT.
MOO
