Summary (Justice Demanded)
The court documents suggest several instances of potential bias and unfairness against Aaron Surina, the father in this case. Firstly, the court seems to favor the petitioner by allowing her to file motions to restrict Aaron’s parental rights and financial autonomy. For example, she filed a motion for a temporary family law order and restraining order, which includes appointing a guardian ad litem, ordering Aaron to pay $15,000 in attorney fees, and naming her as the sole decision maker for healthcare. Such actions may infringe on Aaron’s rights as a parent and his financial freedom.
Additionally, there is evidence of possible bias in the court’s handling of contempt charges. Both Aaron and the petitioner have filed motions/order to show cause for contempt. However, the court seems more inclined to entertain the contempt charges against Aaron, which include failure to exercise joint decision-making in health care and disobeying the order to make joint decisions for health care.
Also, there is a questionable removal of Aaron’s declarations by Court Commissioner Julia Pele. It appears that Aaron’s declarations from Karmen Colby (Exhibit I) and Donna Radcliff (Exhibit J) were struck out, ostensibly without a fair consideration of their content. This could represent a suppression of Aaron’s defense or narrative in the case.
Furthermore, Aaron’s objection to child hearsay in declarations is pending, which raises questions about whether the court is giving due consideration to his perspective and concerns.
Finally, the court appears to be uncritical of the petitioner’s use of sealed personal healthcare records, which could potentially violate privacy rights and could be seen as an unethical strategy to gain leverage in the case.
In conclusion, the documents raise concerns about potential bias and unfairness against Aaron, potentially compromising his parental rights and financial autonomy.
