Kaye Let's try again to have Jones held accountable. In 1995, a Chicago family court judge, allowed my ex-wife to remove our children to Las Vegas Nevada. I also relocated to Nevada and appeared in front of Jones requesting more time with my children. Jones postponed the hearing for 6 months claiming "Illinois still had jurisdiction. All parties were Nevada residents. In 1996, I again petitioned the court for more time with my children. I was denied and they raised my child support payments. Jones allowed the opposing attorney, Rhonda Mushkin, to make numerous false allegations against me in court and he would not allow me to defend myself. My ex, who had since remarried, had a household income of more than $130,000. Both her and her spouse, her third husband, both worked for a major airline and had transferred to Las Vegas with secure employment and many years seniority. I was trying to get work in a new town in which I knew no one. I did secure a few jobs, but Mushkin sent derogatory letters to my employers and they did not want me there. One employer said to me I received a letter from your ex-wife's attorney, you have too many problems, and I don't think things are going to work out here for you. My children, 5, 7, and 9 at the time, were told to call their step-father Daddy and me Al. I could not speak to them on the phone, see them at school plays, could not enroll them in any activities. Yet I resided just 5 minutes away from them. Jones only permitted me to see my children 5 days per month. He treated my parents, the same way after they also relocated from Chicago to Nevada to be near their only grandchildren. My ex-wife began taking my children to Child Psychiatrist Corydon G. Clark. He had been formerly disciplined by the California Medical Board for molesting his young boy patients in a hot tub. Clark put all three children on amphetamines against my will. They claimed all 3 children suffered from ADHD. I claimed they were sad and acting out from the loss of their father. I had no rights at all, just occasional visits. Jones and Mushkin stopped all my attempts to be a loving and involved father. I was unable to take my children to any counseling as Jones denied me my right to joint legal custody. In 1996, my daughter alleged physical abuse from her mother; visible marks were on her body. A friend that was a former California Child Protection Supervisor witnessed the injuries and received testimony from my daughter. She reported it to Brad Reitz, the Principal at Bartlett Elementary School in Henderson Nevada. Instead of obeying the laws as a mandated reporter, he alerted the perpetrator and my daughter was reprimanded by her mother and step-father for alleging the abuse. At one hearing Jones ordered me to undergo a Psychological evaluation with a well known court appointed Psychologist. The findings did not report any serious psychological problems, just depression from being denied fatherhood. Upon my motion to have my ex evaluated, I was denied. I did and still do believe she suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. In 1997, I formed the Coalition for Family Court reform. The Nevada Legislature conducted hearings at Subcommittee ACR-32 to determine if Clark County Family Court should be abolished. Most of the complaints from litigants that testified were against Jones. I made a complaint with the Commission on Judicial Discipline. I received a form letter, as most did, stating that he did not commit any cannon violations. The Commission protects judges, not the litigants. My children have suffered dearly from the loss their father. Their step-father and mother divorced in 2002. My children are all grown up now and I missed being a daddy and they missed me. If you have a complaint against Jones, please post it on this site. This judge must be stopped from abusing everyone he chooses.
