A New York attorney pleads guilty to bribing court officers including a judge to steer divorce cases to the judge and get favorable treatment from him in court. Payments to various individuals included lavish dinners, drinks, cigars, and cash payments.
Given the state of affairs in Nebraska, especially in certain counties, does anyone believe it's not happening here?
A shady lawyer who helped bring down scandal Judge Gerald Garson pleaded guilty yesterday to charges he improperly lavished the fallen jurist with scores of free dinners and drinks.

This is an example that insanity in the courts and the media ignoring fathers is a worldwide issue. EJKubr
QUOTE: "the mother hit him a few times on the top of the legs with a
leather strap while the other woman used it to repeatedly lash him
across the face and legs."
Quite obviously this mother has no idea of good parenting.
Why wasn't the boy placed in the care of his father, so the mother
could go to jail and receive some anger management skills.
If the gender roles were reversed the father would surely have been
ridiculed and incarcerated for such violent abuse.

Most of us with children would like to believe that if we die while our kids are still young, at least they will have their grandparents. Right? In some states, yes, but here in Nebraska the answer is no. Grandparents have no particular right to visitation with their grandchildren and the courts send a clear message that family means nothing in this state and grandparents are irrelevant.
Case in point: Mike and Rita Pratt, the parents of slain police officer Jason Pratt are fighting to preserve their relationship with their late son's children. According to court documents filed in Douglas County, the Pratts had a very close relationship with the kids until this past October when they were abruptly cut out of the children�s lives. According to a letter sent to the Pratts by their former daughter-in-law�s attorney, Donald Roberts, the officer's widow now refuses to allow the children to have any contact with their grandparents (though it�s not stated I imagine that this only applies to Jason's parents).
There has been no accusation of abuse or neglect. The only reason given is �my client is convinced that there is no significant beneficial relationship between you and the minor children�.
Well Mr. Roberts, I am convinced that these kids have a right to grandparents. Moreover, I believe that the Pratts, including these children have been through enough without having to deal with this petty little power game. As I recall, the citizens of Nebraska were very generous in giving money to help the Pratt family after Jason�s death. It is too bad none of it�s being used to help Jason�s mother and father. Instead, it�s being used to force them out of the children�s lives.
Bravo to the Pratts for fighting to keep their family together and the same to Amy Geren, their attorney, for helping them do the right thing.

I was reading this new post from the Court of Appeals. Why was the mother's motion granted and the father's denied to begin with? It appears that the mother was automatically given preferential treatment once again just because she's the mom. How frustrating.
