Beth’s case is now being handled by Martin Preslmayer, who told the
Jewish Telegraph yesterday that it was extraordinary a decision had been
reached so speedily when appeals normally take three to four months.
He said: “The case is finally closed but Beth has the right to open a
new custody case and the strategy [this time] will be different.
“Hopefully, this time she will be treated better.
“It is quite unusual that some judges not even working on that case
intervened with the relevant judge in the first instance. That is
information I have gained from the client but not been able to check.
“What also seems strange is that so many lawyers suddenly withdrew their power of attorney from the case without reason. [For further reading on this subject click here]
“It is unusual that some decisions took such a long time and some
others, especially those not in favour of Beth, were actually issued
within a couple of days.”
Dr Preslmayer added that he would be seeking a new psychologist’s report on the children.
The others seen by the court he described as “very, very questionable”. [...]
Everything is a big conspiracy according to this woman. All the courts are all out to get her. Yada yada yada. Time for her to recognize reality.
ReplyDeleteReality has been recognized. The Family Court in Vienna does not normally operate in the way it did in this case. Nor does the High Court. Nor the Supreme Court. Everything is abnormal. Any individual experiencing such inexplicable bias would do all they could to combat it.
DeleteIf she lost on the trial level and the appeals level, and the Supreme Court declined to accept the case (the Supreme Court accepts very few cases and rarely a custody battle), I don't see why she would do any better starting from scratch and going through the court again.
ReplyDeleteThe European Court also accepts few cases that apply to them.
How is she going to keep generating publicity for herself now that she's run out of court options with losing on all court levels?
ReplyDeleteI think the father seems to be doing a great job at generating publicity himself:

Doesn't he realise that every time he commits another atrocious act it appears on the blog.
This may be a radical thought...but if the father behaved in a way that was more reasonable, maybe there wouldn't be any need to publicise things?
HERR DOCTOR: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE
The fact, that some external judges joined the case, simply means, that the objectivity of the case was maintained. But, as the first commentator said," everything is a big conspiracy according to this woman". I hope, we are not pested with her articles anymore. Why does Daas Thora anyway feel compelled to publish this shmutz??? This woman is causing a massive chillul hashem!
ReplyDeleteRDE, can you address Observer's comment? There are (unfortunately) many custody disputes. Sometimes the father gets custody and sometimes the mother gets custody. Often one party or another (or both) are unhappy with the arrangement. Often its messy and often its bitter. Why is this case in particular attracting your attention out of the many disputes? Is it because she, like Dodelson, (and unlike most acrimonious custody disputes) is engaging in a P.R. war against her adversary in the dispute?
ReplyDeleteThis case is attention-catching because it is not usual that a high court judge illegally intervenes in lower court proceedings, nor that appeal courts do not consider any of the evidence before them.
DeleteWhy do you feel compelled to read it? Just don't subscribe to Daas Torah if you feel that way.
ReplyDeleteYovin the reason why I publish her articles is simply because I think she got a raw deal. I have no clear evidence that she is right - but it certainly sounds strange. The courts so far have not dealt with the issues but have simply rejected her appeals.
DeleteUntil there is a psychological evaluation of the mother by a neutral psychologist that certifies her as a nut, I see no reason why she should be treated the way she has been. If the report shows that she is a competent parent I see no reason why she should not be given custody of the twins.
Bottom line something about this affair stinks
RDE, the lower courts *have* heard both sides. The appeals courts' job is to decide whether legal *procedures* and laws have been properly applied. Appeals courts, by law, are not tasked to reconsider the facts. That is the job of the lower trial court, something they've done.
DeleteThe only reason you might have thought all this sounded strange is because the dad won custody whereas in the past most cases simply defaulted to giving the mom custody for no more reason that she being the female. A departure from that misguided practice is a positive change.
If the father is competent, and no court has found otherwise, you should see no reason that *he* should not be given custody of his children.
please read Beth Alexander's recent article with a cogent summary of the events of the custody fight - it adds significant material that you are either unaware of or chose to ignore.

We keep hearing her pound out the same talking points. Obviously in a bitter dispute they'll be saying how terrible everyone but themselves are.
DeleteM you keep pounding out the same points over and over on these comments. Just saying!!!!
