Former Kansas Republican Lawmaker Is Also A Deadbeat Dad

At the left is a picture of what a Republican representative looked like, back in the early eighties. It is also a picture of what a deadbeat dad looks like. Paul R. Hess, who is now in Washington, serving as the chairman of the King County Republicans 46th District, represented Shawnee County in Kansas during the early eighties, when he and Anne Schroer divorced and she was awarded custody of their three sons. He did not think the court was serious when it ordered him to pay child support, and fled the country to evade charges of theft and to defy custody orders. Anne Schroer was forced to fly to Egypt to retrieve her children. There's some good, old fashioned, responsible budget balencing and family values!

Paul Hess owes his ex-wife hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support and interest. After she moved back to Kansas, she also moved the child support collection back to Kansas, but no state where she lived after the divorce actually did an efficient job of collecting child support. Now, the former Republican representative and his attorney are stating that the court order has somehow become "dormant", or "expired"! A mortgage does not "expire". A student loan or an auto loan will not "expire"! Not even a utility bill simply "goes dormant" or "expires". The truth is, a court order for child support does not "expire" when it is unpaid until the demise of the obligee.

How interesting that Republicans, especially in Kansas, rant on and on about how only inferior people ever rely upon government assitance, and how family values must always be upheld; they one of their own scoffed the very law that was designed to keep divorced mothers and children from needing government assistance in the first place! And committing custodial interferance, to boot! It looks as if Mr. Hess has made some substantial donations to the Republican party recently, while still refusing to pay his child support debt. Perhaps the Republican party should cancel the donation and reroute it to Mrs. Schroer, and while they are at it, perhaps they should reroute Mr. Hess's entire salary to her until his child support is paid.
 

Yes, Kyron's Mom Can Sue Terri Moulton Horman

Some people are failing to understand, from what I see on Facebook and in comments at news websites, that Desiree Young, mother of Kyron Horman, has a solid legal case against Terri Moulton Horman. On June 4, 2010, Terri Moulton Horman, Kyron's stepmother, states that she left him at school. When attendance was taken, Kyron was not at school. Kyron was not in school all day, on June 4. Later on, that same day, when Desiree had been scheduled to take Kyron to her house for the weekend, Kyron was still missing. Terri was the last custodial adult to have Kyron in her care. Now that Terri is no longer Kyron's stepmother, and no longer a defacto guardian of Kyron in any way, Kyron's parents have the right to physical custody of Kyron. Since Terri is the last known person to have had any contact with Kyron, it is logical, reasonable, and legal to insist upon answers and testimony from Terri concerning Kyron's whereabouts. This, ladies and gentlemen who don't think Desriee has a solid case, is what this case is all about. And, in Oregon, there is a specific law called Aaron's Law, written by Sean Cruz, specifically to deal with step parents who steal children from natural parents. Because of this, I anticipate that Stephen Houze, Esquire, representing Terri Horman, will have a more difficult time getting this case dismissed, which; I'm sure, he wants to do.

Even if Terri does not testify; even if Terri does not appear in court, the discovery process can subpeona her bank records, her phone conversations, every single email, testimony from more witnesses and potential witnesses, and even medical records to get a clearer picture of where everyone in the Horman family was on June 4, 2010. And also, the court can order Terri to produce Kyron. If that happens, and she fails to give him back to his parents or testify as to where he might be found, Terri could be charged with contempt of court. Most jurisdictions give judges the leeway to jail defendants and other parties in court who are found in contempt until such a time as they are no longer in contempt. If that happens to Terri Moulton Horman, perhaps she will give Kyron back to Desiree.

It has been two years. Terri, where is Kyron?

You Go, Desiree!

This is such a good idea for many reasons. Even if Terri Horman still refuses to cooperate, the discovery process can rip through everything from bank and ATM records to phone conversations and emails. This should give everyone a more clear idea of where Terri actually was on the morning of June 4, 2010. If Desiree wins, all of Terri's finances will be under even more scrutiny. With the whole world watching, I wonder how Terri's gonna like that?! Maybe she should have lived a cleaner, more legal life all along, especially before June of 2010!

Terri.......where's Kyron?

Prayers And Hopes For Kyron Horman

Kyron Horman is in the news again. Unfortunately, not because he has been found; he is still very much missing. Kyron's mom, Desiree Young, is filing suit in civil court against Terri Horman, estranged wife of Kaine Horman, Kyron's dad, and sometime step parent of Kyron. This makes very good sense, because Terri was the last adult to have Kyron directly in her care before he disappeared, and her lack of testimony and failure to produce Kyron to Kyron's parents adds up, in my world, to custodial interferance. Now, hopefully; Terri or someone representing Terri, will be forced to testify in court concerning Kyron. I wonder if Steve Houze, Terri's "houze-boy", anticipated this? Yes indeed, Houze-boy, Carol and Larry Moulton, Dede Spicher, and all others who do not understand the love a mother has for her child; contrary to what all of you probably think, it is NOT okay to harm a child or to sit idlely by, ignoring law enforcement, while a child is in danger or missing. Kudos to Desiree, and many prayers for support and wisdom. She loves her son.

Sky Metalwala's Dad Has Custody

Solomon Metalwala, father of Sky Metalwala, who disappeared in November of 2011 while he was in his mother's care, was granted custody of Sky and his sister, Maille, in court today in Washington. Now that he has custody, he can insist that Sky's mother, Julia Biryukova, give Sky back to him. If she does not, she can be charged with custodial interferance, parental kidnapping, and contempt of court. I hope that Terri Horman and Justin Dipietro are paying attention. When the Horman divorce finally gets to court, Terri will not have any custodial right to her stepson, Kyron, at all. Her estranged husband, Kaine, and Kyron's mother, Desiree young will. Since she was the very last person with custodial rights to care for Kyron, perhaps she can be ordered to return him to his parents. Hopefully, if she does not, she can be forced to testify and jailed for custodial interferance and contempt of court. Hopefully. And whatever will Justin Dipietro do if he is ordered to return his daughter, Ayla Reynolds, to her mother? It would behoove him to testify in such a case, rather than continue to play games with law enforcement. This was never the intended function of family law court anywhere, but in the cases of these missing children, such legal actions could work!
