Well children, I wish I had more promising news. I had wanted to send some stuff to you guys but I needed your mother’s updated address from her lawyer. I have been waiting for a while to hear from her attorney on this. This is the email correspondence between her attorney’s office and me:

Dear Mr. Overton:

Mr. Clark has asked that I pass on to you the following.

Given your past actions, including posting inappropriate information about the children and Ms. Dolansky on the Internet and attempting to show this to the children, Ms. Dolansky requests that you send the package to our office and that I go through it to assure its content is appropriate. As sole legal custodian, Ms. Dolansky has authorized me to do that. Ms. Dolansky is also concerned about information that has come her way that indicates that you have ended your long-term relationship with Elizabeth, and have established a new relationship with a woman whose former husband and adult children are drug dealers in Mexico. Neither Ms. Dolansky nor our office has made any efforts to verify this information and I am passing it on to you as it forms part of the reason for our collective concern about the package you wish to send to the children.

If the content is appropriate, the package will be send on to Ms. Dolansky.

Mr. Clark has asked me to ask you if you have any intent of sending any money for child support. You are currently $28,365.59 in child support arrears (through 9/1/09). I trust that you understand gifts you send to the children do not count toward child support payments.

Mr. Clark also asked me to inquire of you whether you are in therapy as required by the orders of the court. Thank you.

Subject: Package for the children

Ms. Kovach,

I have a package for the children and I would like to know the address to sent it.

Thanks,
James A. Overton, Sr.

This was my first reply yesterday:

Thank you Ms. Kovach,

I will simply drop by your office and leave the materials to be sent. It is quite a financial relief. I have not sent items in the past for lack of funds and was actually going to suggest this as a possibility, but now that it is imposed by Ms. Dolansky it is just as well.

There is nothing in the Court record or my personal record that would suggest that I would ever implicate myself with drug-trafficking. I do not and never have used drugs, and that is something that I think even your client, despite her demonstrated ill-will towards me, would bear witness to. I do not drink alcohol, save on special events and holidays and in great moderation.

There is no evidence or even accusation that my current partner's - fiancee - ex-husband was a drug-dealer. This is evidently a fabrication of some sort. Additionally, my fiancee was separated from her ex-husband for seven years, and he died subsequent to that time, almost four years ago. That would make a total of almost 11 years of her non-involvement in his affairs. As he is DEAD and has been for some time whatever aspersions one could choose to cast over him are largely irrelevant. Whatever he was or was not is a moot point.

As for Caritina's adult children, the oldest is a woman who lives far from here (near Mexico City) with her husband and baby daughter. To my knowledge she is involved exclusively in the health club/nutrition business; I have only seen her on one occasion when she visited in May and stayed with us. Caritina's other adult child has been estranged from the family and does not interact with us, visit, or otherwise. The death of his father (in a motorcycle accident) was very difficult for him. He maintains a minimum contact with his mother - at present the two are not speaking; his fiancee is expecting a child and they live in Sinaloa - also a distant state of Mexico. Neither of the younger children have contact with him. I do not know what his current occupation as it is of no concern to me: He is not present in our lives or household.

I cannot disprove that which does not exist: I have no known personal affiliations with drug-dealers or traffickers or any kind - or criminals of any sort.

The younger children are of 16 and 10 years of age and I can assure you they have no such affiliations either; nor does Caritina. I would check your sources for their intentions.


Thank you again,

James A. G. Overton, Sr.

This was my second email regarding the psychological treatment the Court wants me to have before I can see you again. Bear in mind that at no point in time have I been diagnosed at having any problem whatsoever, it is just another stumbling block to keep me from seeing you guys:

Ms. Kovach,

With respect to the psychological treatment you may inform Mr. Clark of the following:

1) No, I have not sought psychological treatment nor is it likely that this will take place anytime in the foreseeable future. San Diego fees run over $100 an hour minimum and I do not have the resources necessary to pay. This is a fact and easy to demonstrate, which means I cannot be held in Contempt of Court for my failure to comply - I simply CAN'T comply.

2) Even if the resources were made available, I do not have the private transportation available to visit a psychologist in San Diego and would have to rely on public transportation which would run me from 2-3 hours each way, each visit, an impossibility under my condition - exactly the same reason why I do not work in San Diego. I am happy to provide medical confirmation of the same if your client will pay for the extra medical expense.

3) If resources were made available - i.e., your client paid - a psychologist could be located here in Mexico; the extra difficulty would be for him/her to provide reports in English - this would limit the field considerably and augment the cost.

4) The court order does not specify the reason for the psychological intervention, i.e., what exactly is the Court looking for the psychologist to report? That I am not a threat to bring the issues I have published over the Internet, that I am publishing in a forthcoming book, or that is public domain to their attention? If the intention of the Court were to assure that then all that would have been necessary is a simple Court order to that effect. However, since that was never an option presented by either the Court or your client, it is evidently not the intention of either. In other words, the Court order would need to be more explicit in terms of what type of report it would expect from the psychologist.

In terms of the child support issue, the answer is also tied to my lack of financial means. I am well aware of the national trend in which the Courts provide mother's will complete custody and limited visitation to the father while then burdening the father's with child support costs: Fathers have no rights and are burdened with financial responsibility for children they seldom see and then are poisoned against them. Fatherlessness is simply a social reality which is undermining the social fabric of this country and it is quite clear that the Court system has no interest in social arguments, facts, or statistics regarding the effects of loss of a father - likewise the Courts were of no assistance in promoting the Civil Rights movement.

It appears that your client's intention of obtaining complete control of and authority over the children by moving them to Boston and eliminating all contact with me, my family, and their non-Jewish heritage also places her in the situation where she has to bear the financial responsibility associated with that decision. In other words, the realities of my condition and geopolitical/economic situation are such that, at least in this case, a mother won't have her cake and eat it. She can't have the children AND my money because I don't have money to take. I don't have the health to work in the US and, as you yourself put it, I live and work in Mexico and am limited to the financial realities of that market which are quite dire. Regrettably, more fathers do not contract cancer and have to move to Mexico to survive; perhaps a massive movement by father's across the nation to refuse to pay for children they have no authority over would put political pressure on the legislature to change the child custody laws. Until then, the Courts will continue to provide mother's with all the rights, lawyers will continue to become rich, father's will continue to become frustrated, heartbroken, and alienated, and children - who seem to be of least concern to the Courts, mothers or their attorneys - will continue to suffer the well-documented consequences.

You can tell your boss that he was indeed a formidable opponent throughout this Case but that in all reality a level playing field that actually respected the children's rights to their father and their heritage would not have allowed him the successes he obtained throughout this Case. Nonetheless, it was clear from the outset that I did not have the legal expertise to match his or the health to acquire it. Irregardless of the legal state of affairs, he has done well in his task of providing his client with the most fundamental of her wishes which is complete custody over the children. Only time will tell what becomes of them.

I will likely be in your office tomorrow to drop off a package of items for the children.

James A. Overton, Sr.

I love you guys and miss you very much. I am not sure what else to add on here. I do not know when I will see you or how you will be disposed towards me. If the way you were behaving in the webcam sequences that I filmed is any indication then your mother has successfully alienated you from me and there is little I can hope to accomplish even with this. But at the very least you will know that your father did love you very, very dearly, and battled for you constantly. I just cannot defeat the Court system by myself against your mother’s father’s money and the legal help that gets her.

Daddy
