Valerie Waldeire Brooklyn Family Court Scam

This referee judge at Brooklyn Family Court is 100% the worst and most bias judge in the court system. She has drawn out the custody/ visitation case for years and multiple lawyers will run its course and new lawyers come on board so scam keeps rotating so the scam family court system will have the c...ustodial parent put on fake shadow program coercive control system with the intent to say that parent is crazy or unfit. While the other non custodial parent(father) works along with this scam. So that they can get custody ACS works along family court employees/system to scam more government funds into this billion dollars money making scam. My case took years had to fly away in order for it to finally end. Even had a lot of Spanish people monitoring spirits inside JFK airport arguing with airline checking agents to stop me., without any warrants Lol. They want to keep the human trafficking going. Hospitals, doctors, schools, teachers, principal, lawyers ,judges, neighbours, police are all apart of this big scam. Just to label you unstable all involved will get pay upgrades yearly especially Valerie Waldeire she got 50% pay increase for my case alone.

Unfair Referee

Waldeier has had a case since July 2022. She has failed to acknowledge a few things which makes me believe she is bias and won't be fair when a final order is made. This is the problem with some female Judges, Magistrates, and Referees, they assume the woman is always right. I am a woman AND a mother..., mothers aren't always right or fair! Some bitter women/mothers use the child(ren) as a way to control the father. The case that Waldeier is presiding over, the mother took the child from its home state. She's failed to acknowledge that this is called parental kidnapping. Shouldn't she have asked if there was a custody agreement in place? If there is no custody agreement or proof of an unfit father, she could have temporarily ordered visitation rights. Instead, she constantly belittles the working father and doesn't ask the right questions to get to why the mother has taken the child from its father. When asked if they can visit their father, the mother freely and continuously tells the child, that they can't visit their father until after the case is done. THAT IS NOT TRUE and it isn't right!! Why wouldn't the mother want to work on co-parenting while this case is in limbo? It would show good faith on her part. Instead she'd rather use this to control when the child gets to speak to its father and deny visitation. Waldeier hasn't asked the mother why she told the child that he couldn't see his father until after the case. This is where Waldeier has dropped the ball! She has adjourned this case 3x with no explanation and she adjourns for 3-4mths at a time instead of the normal 4-6wks. Manhattan Family Court would NEVER do this! It's always about the best interest of the child, getting to the facts, and a fair solution. I've suggested to the Respondent that he switch Judges as thus far Waldeier has shown no effort in resolving this case quickly and her entire approach to his case has been lackluster. She has allowed the mother to do and say things when not spoken to, but penalizes the father if and when he responds to the mother's claims. She rarely asks the mother's attorney to control/silence their client, but she often yells at the father and his attorney. It almost seems like she takes dislike to men. Having someone like Waldeier handle a custody case is a recipe for disaster. There are AA and Hispanic children who grow up w/o their father because of Judges like Waldeier. Many fathers are capable of being the parents that Judges like her believe they aren't. Kids who are automatically given to the mother because that is what society believes is the right thing, grow up w/o fathers and miss out on a lot. I hope Waldeier rules fairly and takes into consideration the wrong that she is doing to kids when she adjourns these cases for months at a time, only to reconvene with the same situation, and leaving kids yearning for the other parent.
