Summary (Justice Demanded)
Comprehensive Summary:
The court documents reveal multiple instances of potential bias and unfairness against Aaron Surina. To begin with, his children suffered numerous injuries while in their mother’s custody, raising concerns about their safety and well-being. Aaron’s initial assignment of child support was obtained through potentially fraudulent means, which the court later rectified, acknowledging that there was no abandonment of his children by him.
Aaron has also invoked his federal statutory right to object to the local agency’s continued delivery of all Title IV services on his children’s behalf, indicating undue interference in his rights as a parent. Aaron’s rights were further violated by the unauthorized placement of his children under the Title IV welfare program, without due process, notification, or his consent. This resulted in an invalid assignment of rights, infringing on his fundamental rights and privacy.
The documents further reveal that Aaron has been denied justice due to his inability to afford an attorney, putting him at a disadvantage, thus undermining his right to equal protection under the law. His objections to these actions and his request to discontinue county services have been ignored, violating federal law and disregarding his rights as a parent.
The documents also suggest systemic bias against non-custodial parents, and lack of transparency in decision-making processes. The expedited processing of Title IV-D child support cases, incentivized by federal funding, can potentially lead to inadequate consideration of individual situations, resulting in unfair outcomes.
The contract between the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and Spokane County for Court Commissioner services potentially prioritizes meeting federal standards and securing funding over fair treatment of individuals like Mr. Surina. The documents do not provide clear guidance on how the father’s ‘reasonable ability’ to pay child support is determined, potentially leading to biased rulings.
The documents also suggest potential conflict of interest due to the contract between Spokane County and DSHS, which may influence the Court Commissioner’s decisions. The dual role of the County overseeing family law judicial proceedings and ensuring expedited processing of Title IV-D child support cases might compromise the fair treatment of fathers like Mr. Surina.
Furthermore, the requirement for the County to maintain or forward case records as required by state or federal laws could result in violation of personal privacy or misuse of personal information. The documents suggest potential areas of unfairness and bias, prioritizing the prompt processing of child support cases over the fair and equitable treatment of all involved parties.
Overall, while the documents do not explicitly indicate bias or unethical conduct against Mr. Surina, the systemic characteristics could potentially lead to unfair outcomes. The documents reflect a concerning level of bureaucratic complexity that could potentially disadvantage Aaron Surina in his pursuit of justice, and reveal several potential areas of concern mainly revolving around transparency, fairness, and potential bias.
