What's Wrong with this Picture? Dr. Sharon Ryan Montgomery

What's Wrong with this Picture? Dr. Sharon Ryan Montgomery, that's what!

Dr. Sharon Ryan Montgomery along with others, and with the support of the entire NJ-AFCC has written a pamphlet called: Family First Aid, Evaluation and Settlement-Based Approaches for Families in Confict.

Here is an excerpt
"Visitation Refusual Evaluation
Description: This type of evaluation attempts to assess the extent of and underlying causes of a child’s refusal to visit a parent. 

Who Performs the Evaluation:
These evaluations are performed by a licensed mental health professionals (e.g. clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, or psychiatrists) who have expertise in working with families of divorce, and have a background in child development family systems, as well as some working knowledge of family law. This professional should be familiar with the concept of alienation."

WHAT IS THE NJ-AFCC AND WHAT IS THE "CONCEPT OF ALIENATION?"

The AFCC is the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. The group is heavily tied in with the mens rights movement. If you are not sure what the mens rights movement is, just think about having a cup of tea, at a party, in the extreme right wing of some mansion. That is what we would stereotypically think anyway. Truth is they are in both major parties and in your neighborhoods. They are the ones who think sex with children is not sick as long as they are your own children and/or other beliefs along that line. The AFCC was formed to preserve the core of our country, the stereotypical family with the father as the head. This leads us right to the gender biased role of "alienation". 

Alienation has been a legal term a long time, in fact alienation of affection used to be grounds for a divorce. This "concept of alienation" has different roots that go deep in family law history. Richard Gardner developed the theory of parental alienation a long time ago. He held classes for the judges and other members of the AFCC on his theory. He believed that women, could brain wash their children and turn them against their fathers. In cases of domestic violence, the Gardner playing field was either a father was a perpetrator of domestic violence or the mother was guilty of parental alienation. Over time with all the womens rights hubbub some of Gardners followers have tried to water it down to make it apply to both sexes. It doesn't work because the original version is what is known. 

Professionally this parental alienation syndrome and whatever shortened versions of the name one would want to use, is crappe'. The APA did not include it in the DSM and have classified it as "junk science" In the legal realm it is considered Junk science too. When the Frye test was the legal standard, parental alienation did not pass that test. Now it is the Daubert test and parental alienation hasn't passed that either. We really can't expect much to come from a man who believes pedophilia is normal, now can we? (Richard Gardner).

In this day and time, why do we have sexist "professionals" such as Dr. Sharon Ryan Montgomery in a position to take our children away? Please take a moment to Bing that S**t, read all sides of the issues and then decide.

If you don't want this woman in a position to decide the fate of your children you can send a letter to

Since when do degrees make you a judge?

Dr.Sharon Ryan Montgomery holds a PsyD degree in New Jersey. Is that enough to recommend custody issues?  Take a peek! Looks like in this case a psychologist was competing with a judge for power. Will New Jersey replace their judges with psychologists? 

I have quoted portions of the case, if you wish to read the entire case you can google: DEBORAH WEISS, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. ERIC S. WEISS, Defendant-Appellant. DOCKET NO. A-1470-09T2 -- November 24, 2010


Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division. DEBORAH WEISS, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. ERIC S. WEISS, Defendant-Appellant. DOCKET NO. A-1470-09T2 -- November 24, 2010 

"...The trial court ruled implicitly that the best interests of the children required a modified and simpler parenting schedule to reduce the parental disputes, to reduce the motion practice, and to reduce the children's strife and stress.   The ruling was contrary to the opinion of the parenting time expert, Dr. Montgomery, who concluded that absence from their father for seven days would not be in the best interests of the children.   There was not sufficient credible evidence in the record to support the reduction in defendant's parenting time to a level Dr. Montgomery believed was not in the best interests of the children.

Parental rights to custody and visitation are held “in high esteem” and are guaranteed judicial protection.  Wilke v. Culp, 196 N.J.Super. 487, 496 (App.Div.1984), certif. denied, 99 N.J. 243 (1985).   Our courts are committed to the principle that “children of separated parents should be imbued with love and respect for both parents, and where children are in [the] custody of one parent, the court should endeavor to effect this facet of the children's welfare by conferring reasonable rights of visitation on the other parent.”   Ibid. 

“[T]he matter of visitation is so important, especially during the formative years of a child, that if a plenary hearing will better enable a court to fashion a plan of visitation more commensurate with a child's welfare, it should require it.”  Wagner v. Wagner, 165 N.J.Super. 553, 555 (App.Div.1979), certif. denied, 85 N.J. 93 (1980).   Resolution of parenting time should not be made on the basis of conflicting certifications and an otherwise insufficient record.   See Fusco v. Fusco, 186 N.J.Super. 321, 327-29 (App.Div.1982).

Where the parties' certifications are conflicting, and where a proposed modification to a parenting schedule partially contradicts the “best interests” opinion of the sole parenting time expert, a plenary hearing before reducing parenting time will usually be required.   In light of those considerations, a plenary hearing should have been conducted..." (This case was remanded back on the parenting time issue)
