During a family court hearing in early October 2024, requested by my Daughter’s mother lisa raymond, Judge Tony Fitzgerald accepted allegations that I said mean things about lisa and about the lawyer for child at the time alan gluestein. Allegations made by her mother and by a young woman (early 20s) working at the supervised contact centre. I denied saying that I hate lisa and the lawyer for child at the time, which was alleged. I definitely did not say that I hate those two people to my Daughter during our supervised visit on 31 August 2024. My Daughter became upset that day, she repeatedly asked me to discuss stuff that was weighing her down. I behaved like a parent. I sat beside her. Comforted her. I listened. I was supportive.

Fitzgerald issued a reserved decision.

Fitzgerald ordered that my Daughter do counselling. I had the understanding from what was said that the family court would fund that counselling and find the counsellor. I am certain I heard Fitzgerald say during the hearing that a report would be required from the counselling provider once counselling concluded.

I kept checking regularly, at least once per month, asking when counselling for Sienna was starting. It wasn’t until February 2025 that the family court informed me that they had finally chosen a clinical psychologist, they still did not make it clear to me that lisa and I had to pay 50/50.

Months passed by, I had the understanding from the family court that counselling for my Daughter was ongoing. I tried to trust the family court. I checked with the psychologist in June, she initially said she couldn’t share any information, then she went on leave, then after close to another month she said that she had never been asked to provide any support to my Daughter by the family court.

My parents then told me that they had been in discussions with lisa with regards to payment, “two months earlier,” without telling me. The discussions with lisa broke down they said and they could not agree. No-one informed me. I was very, very, offended, dismayed, and hurt, that they had gone behind my back.

I then found a counselling provider who agreed to provide a counsellor for Sienna, as Fitzgerald had stipulated must happen. A well established organisation, they agreed on 13 August. Finally counselling commenced in the second week of September. Lisa found excuses to interrupt the weekly counselling routine three times, causing six weeks to be wasted / lost. Counselling concluded on 13 November, they said Sienna had chosen to end counselling sessions herself after six completed visits. Which I was completely fine with.

Judge Fitzgerald had indicated during the hearing in October 2024 that a report was going to be required, to be provided by the counselling provider.

I started to encourage the counseling organisation to provide that report to the family court. The “CEO” Kathy Clist there then said they had never written reports previously and that they would not do so for my Daughter.
I checked with the family court and they kept referring me back to the judge Fitzgerald reserved decision.

The Fitzgerald reserved decision states that Sienna can decide that she wants to initiate contact with me during counselling or after. The reserved decision implied that my Daughter had to make the request through the lawyer for child alan gluestein. The reserved decision also stated that a review was to happen immediately after counselling concluded.

The family court have refused to do that. There is a new lawer for child, appointed the week before Christmas.
He has done nothing.

Sienna has done her part. I am doing everything I can.

The family court are just continuously corrupt, fascist, and abusive. They treat my Daughter as though she is a trophy. They treat her like a captive. She has been, and is, kidnapped.
