I witnessed a judge even after being properly served notice that the federal government has taken over jurisdiction of his custody case, still go forward and issue not only a bench warrant for his arrest on the basis of his failure to appear but also a warrant for his arrest because he failed to start paying child support.
The facts of his case are that he won a supreme court ruling in MN, stating that the family courts can't use religion as an excuse to deny a parent custody. So after the case was won he has been fighting to resolve the custody dispute and there has been continuances and continuances as they kept avoiding the issues he has been bringing up. Tim has requested a jury trial, he has requested that the judge that was adjudicated as violating his constitutional right to removed from the bench and to immediately restore his parental rights to what they were prior to the last judge abusing her powers which is joint custody. We all theoretically have joint custody when we enter the courtroom initially but that is not how case law has been going over her. Regardless, his children are almost all grown up now, suffering from emotional dmage because their father has been removed for the last 10 years and worst of all, this could have all been avoided if the state would be in compliance with Natural Law. This man has never drank in his life, is law abiding and cares deaply about people and yet, he is being treated like a criminal, a slave and now a fugative.
So we go to personally serve the judge prior to the hearing to let him know that his jurisdiction has been removed to federal court. After arguing with the court administrator for about an hour about the judge avoiding service of process the judge finally agreed to be served and then still went ahead with calling his case. The other party wasn't present and neither was Mr. Kinley but the Associate Country Attoreny from Ramsey County was there acting on behalf of the child support agency aka DHS and every other special interest group at the capitol. As a result the judge ignored Mr. Kinley's written arguements challenging jurisdiction and went ahead with the counties default judgements as requested by the county attorney.
One more screwy thing about this case is, prior to this last hearing the judge called in sick and then issued an order saying and alleging all sorts of facts, one of which said that he has to pay child support or else be arrested. Mr. Kinley appealed the decision and had to request from the same judge who issued the unlawful order to approve his informa poperious application but she wouldn't because that would have meant that she was stating his appeals were not frivoulous. Talk about the fox gaurding the hen house and then when he did get to the appeals court the only argument they heard was wheather or not he was entitled to be represented and since MN case law is that parental rights aren't a fundamental right that his in forma poperious applicationw as denied. Another old bait and switch game these stupid courts keep playing which is why he is now trying to go federal with the case but even that may not happen do to some stupid technicallity. It's all in the books and we all need your help.
