In a recent family court hearing involving the respondent, Aaron Surina, and the petitioner, Sirinya Surina, several concerning issues were raised that highlight potential injustices and child endangerment. The petitioner’s attorney, Mr. Keith Glanzer, alleged violations of court orders by Aaron Surina, including failure to make payments for household expenses and utilities, as well as violating a restraining order by sending their child into the other parent’s home.
The court commissioner, Honorable Nichole Swennumson, acknowledged the validity of all court orders and emphasized the intentional nature of the violations. Despite Mr. Surina’s arguments regarding income and tax returns, the court ordered the parties to file an amended tax return or face financial penalties. Additionally, the court found Mr. Surina in contempt for sending their child into the petitioner’s home, ordering him to pay attorney fees as a consequence.
The court’s decision to not order supervised visits and instead require compliance with court orders for the next three months raises concerns about the children’s safety and well-being. The petitioner’s attorney’s aggressive pursuit of contempt charges and financial penalties against Mr. Surina, without clear evidence of wrongdoing, raises questions about the fairness of the legal proceedings.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by fathers in family court proceedings, where their rights can be violated, and their relationships with their children jeopardized. It is essential to advocate for justice and fairness in family law courts to protect the rights of all parties involved, especially when children’s safety and well-being are at stake. Let us stand in solidarity with fathers like Aaron Surina who have been wronged by the system and demand accountability for any unethical conduct or violations of rights in family court proceedings.
