Rating Of Lawyer : An absolute disgrace to the practice of law
Reason For Rating Of Lawyer :
This 'lawyer' was appointed ICL for a child who is 12.
The father has been in breach of orders that say the child is to reside with the mother for over 4 years, and the most recent breach commenced in January.
On 14 January, the father tried to remove the child by force from his ex whom the child was spending the weekend with by arrangement. The child was taken to Police and the child told officers that the father was acting 'crazy' and that the child did not want to go to him.
The father has attempted suicide previously and alluded to the child that he will kill himself if the child did not stay with him in the past. The mother has tried to resolve the matter in consideration of the delicacy and how the child would feel if the father did such a thing, and in July filed a court application. It was listed in two days due to the 'urgency' and Vera was appointed ICL. The Federal Magistrate (Sexton, in Sydney) stated she had 'no intention' of reading anything until court counselling had occurred, and ordered the child into the 'care' of the estranged grandmother and her husband - whom the childs' father 'dumped' her with when he returned on the 16 January, assaulted his ex and took the child by force.
The father applied for child support two days later - which was granted, in which the mother is now forced to pay.
Court counseling recommended an experts report and counselling between the daughter and the mother due to her being in the 'care' of people who have been identified by three psychologists as instrumental in the emotional abuse of her, based on their own messages and emails (which taunt the mother about 'losing' her child) with smiley face icons after them. The mother has been shown these messages.
The maternal grandmother and her husband also obtained a psychologist who is a colleague of the husband to 'counsel' the child for 3 months - without the consent, knowledge, or involvement of the mother.
This lawyer was ordered by the court to stop counselling the child due to the inappropriateness of it, however this Vera she is pushing for the child to continue being counselled by her.
The psychologists name is Narelle Pike from Shellharbour Psychological Medicine in Shellharbour NSW.
Narelle Pike's boss has previously phoned the mothers mobile and threatened to physically assault her for making a complaint about Narelle to the HCCC, and the grandmother refused to acknowledge this - even when the mother offered to obtain phone charge records to show who had called her mobile that day.
Despite the fact that the childs father has breached the orders for over 4 years, has refused to allow any contact for 10 months whilst the mothers is abused through the court system instead of taking matters in to my own hands, and also despite the fact that I had a hearing earlier this year for my two youngest children which culminated in a family report that was strongly in my favour and stated the mother should have full parental responsibility for her two youngest children (which she now has, and whose time with their father has been suspended by the court due to his ongoing behaviour), Vera Temelkovska is still pushing for the child to live with her father, who has no respect for the life-long relationship with the mother or the childs other siblings.
The mother just missed her childs 13th birthday, and has not been denied seeing or speaking to her child for 10 months now. Isn't it is a disgrace that someone who has no psychological training can refuse to acknowledge the clear evidence, the child gave the to police, the messages and emails of the parties who have basicallty kidnapped the child, and who taunt the mother regularly about not seeing her child.
The advice of qualified psychologists who have viewed the correspondence have deemed these parties to be emotionally abusing the child.
Furthermore, you can break the law, breach the orders, enforce a no contact situation between a mother and her child (whom she raised for almost 10 years - before her father first starting taking her for months at a time), and you get the support of people like this lawyer. She should not be allowed in public, let alone allowed to represent children.
