Chief Justice Paula Carey,

   Thank you for your response to my letter dated January 3 2010. Please be advise I was provided with the rules and have followed them. However all of my request have not been responded to by your Judges.

You state that notice must be given in a timely manner, Please explain how this is possible when the court does not release any docket information until two days before the court hearings.
 
Please direct your Judges to respond in writing to either Deny or Approve my request in a timely manner so I to can prepare for these hearings, 

 (FYI) My request to record contempt hearings being heard by Judge Cronin has not been answered and the date which I have ask to record is tomorrow, Am I to assume that this won't be happening tomorrow, even with timely notice? 

Again (FYI) Please direct your staff to respond to the question that this show has put forward to your office, that has also gone unanswered.  

Thank you for any asstaince you can direct

Mrs Scalan 

    In a recent email address to you, I had mention to you about changing the way the Attorney's handle cases in the Hallways. Today Attorney Anthony Rao was heard by a member of my staff in the court hallways telling  a woman that if she didn't have $300.00 she was going to jail,

Again it is my understanding according to your email to me, That it is the court who orders Jail time not DOR, Why do they keep doing this?  

Attorney Rao was heard by me speaking to a father who later we learn his name is Kirk ParkHurst His docket was not in either DOR docket or the courts docket, However Attorney Rao told Mr Parkhurst that the Department would not be filing a complaint against his ex-wife, for fraud, When Mr Park Hurst brought his argument to the Judge, Attorney Rao stated to the court that he would indeed file a complaint for fraud first thing in the morning this was after the Judge asked him isn't this fraud. 

I attempted to ask Attorney Rao on camera as he walked down the street if he planned on going threw with what he stated in court. But he refuse to answer the question and kept walking.   Please help to put a stop to this.

Chief Justice Paula Carey,

  You have been asked before on many occasion to come on our show or provide a member of your staff to answer questions that our taxpayers who fund you and your staff, are asking. These request has gone either unanswered or ignored by your office, or a simply letter giving to us where to find information regarding our request.
 
   We thank you for some of the basic information your office has provided to us. Some or most of the information provided to us requires answers to some very tough questions which the information you provided does not give answers to.

Our taxpayers feel that since they are the ones paying you to do this job, then you should be able to provide these answers as the Chief Justice of Probate and Family Court, or be able to provide a member of your staff to appear on our show for a on camera interview. 

  For example your office was asked on September 8,2009 about permission to file in the Family and Probate Court, We find that this policy is a clear violation of ones due process right, And we want to give you or your office a chances to respond to our findings.
 
  On October 7, 2009 You were asked to  give permission to record any member of your court staff, Where you replied " In light of the fact that you have a case in the Essex Probate and Family court, staff from the court and my office will not agree to be interviewed as it would be inappropriate"
I ask you, Since I have no open cases in your court, and had no open case in your court prior to my letter of October 7, 2009, Would it still be inappropriate to have a on camera interview with you or any member of your staff? 

  Your letter to me dated November 22, 2009 referred me G.L.CH. 209A where information can be found, We thank you for sharing this information, However we find problems with such G.L.CH.209A, and wish to discuss our finding and have your reaction to our findings as Chief Justice of the Court.  

Your letter to me dated December 10,2009, Your office provided us with the court rules 1:19  We thank you for sharing this information, However we see problems that I have addressed to you which still have gotten no clear answer that we can provide, We ask you to provided those answers to us.  

On January 12, 2010 We asked your office to comment on your statement where you stated on December 16, 2009 "No one should be incarcerated if they are unable to pay" We seek to have your statement and or comment to this question and then have a follow up questions as to why this is still happening, and what steps is your office taking to ensure that the court proves UN WILLFULLY REFUSING VS Being Broke.   

Your office responding by saying that your office does not get involed in pending cases, I'm asking you to give a response as to what you are doing to address this problem, not to discuss the case itself.   We look forward to sitting down with you for a on camera interview, I think we can agree that this election in which Scott Brown was elected, was a big upset for our commonwealth, My viewers, and the groups that I work with, groups like Parental rights Alienation, Fathers taking action, Parents are parents 2, Fatherhood coalition, New tea party, and so many others are proud to have played a huge role in this election. 

  This election sends a strong message to our Government that the taxpayers are seeking answers, We will provide answers to their questions and we ask that you help provide those answers as Chief Justice of the Family and Probate Court.

Chapter 215: Section 34B. Review of contempt order prior to order of confinement
Section 34B. A judge of the probate court who has found a party to be in civil or criminal contempt for failure to obey any order or judgment of the probate court relative to support of a spouse or children or relative to the custody of children shall, before ordering such person to be confined in a jail, review such order or judgment to determine that such order or judgment was issued by a court of competent jurisdiction and was not obtained by fraud.

Chief Justice Paula M. Carey 
 
   Behind the Scene with Hector Montalvo is pleased to inform you that we have found that Salem Probate Court Judge Amy Blake is indeed a fair and Honorable Judge. We have study Judge Blake for the last 5 months and we have found that in each case, She is following the rules and the laws.  

Although my request to film in her court room was denied, She did handle my request fairly and gave each party the time to be heard. I want to thank you for having a Judge who is fair to all parties and who does consider what's best for the children.  

I understand that not every case can be won by a party, but having Judges who are fair is a step towards due process and equal protection which will always equal to Justices.

Again Behind the Scene is happy to provide you with this information.

Dear Justice Carey,

  I am a Volunteer producer and host for a show on the Methuen Community Television Network. I am working on a show that will provide information about the process with in the Family and Probate Courts in Massachusetts. Since this is a local production I would like to use the Salem and Lawrence Family courts to do this production. 

  As the producer I am seeking your written permission to interview any member of your staff along with the staff at Salem and Lawrence Family and Probate courts about process and what  paper work a pro-se litigant needs to get a case started in the Family and Probate courts.  

The focus of the film would be to examine the process step by step. How one goes about filing a motion, modification or divorce. What happens once the paper work is filed (what does the court do once the paperwork is filed - a behind the scenes look). What happens in court and after a litigant is done and the judge has taken the case under advisement. Show the options a litigant has once the decision is in such as motion for reconsideration, appeal and what is needed to begin the appeal process (appeals process is planned for another show). 

We are looking to produce a 30 minute segment and would like to begin on or before November 10th 2009. Should you have any questions please free to call me or e-mail me. I am sure that this show will be mutually beneficial to litigants and the court as an educational resource saving the court time in explaining details to litigants. I look forward to your co-operation in the production of this educational program and the future programs to come from this series of educational programs we are looking to produce.

Good Afternoon,  
         I am writing to you as I have been unable to get information about the where bout of my file with the family probate court. 92D0642D1   I have asked the Lawrence court to provide me with my file, For the last two weeks, they have claimed to have requested my file be sent down from Salem, But each time each court keeps claiming they don't know where my file is.  

Lawrence has prove that the file was sent back to salem.   The last time I looked for the file, It was being held by the DOR, on their claim that they had to copy my file for a review of my account.   My understanding is that the files should had been copied by the register, and not removed by DOR, Why is this happening? 

Since then, I have learn that papers which were in the file, are now missing from the file. I have also brought to the attention of the clerks, that other cases have been found in my file, they take it and claim to be a mistake.   Please order that my file be found, and that I be contacted when it is found. If my file is not found, what action can I take to address the dismissal of my case?
