In a little over two years he went from an able-bodied self-employed plumbing and heating contractor/pilot/firefighter/paramedic/town official/environmentalist/and most importantly a father of two boys, ages 10 & 12.  Dan has spent over $100,000 modifying his marital home for his quadriplegia disability caused by a bicycle accident.  The courts have done Dan great injustices by not allowing him or giving him special access (as required by the American Disabilities Act?) for his first four days of trial, removing visitation and custody of his two children, wife allowed to remove children from religious education classes that Dan teaches, Judge intimidates Dan to use a lawyer at trial, Judge makes biased decision on first day of trial stating “I envision you making $70,000 in the near future” and  “I am familiar with your disability”.

• November 2004, Dan was ordered to have supervised visitation and to pay approximately $500/$1500 disability pay as a child support.  Dan later objected and stated this was more money than an able-bodied person paid.

• Dan's estrange wife removes both children's from grades 4 and 6 From St. Mary's religious education program because Dan was their teacher.

• March 2005, Dan complains of supervised visitation; not seeing the children but twice since November 2004; Christmas was celebrated in February.

• May 2005, Dan spends approximately $2,000 to obtain a court order just to go see his children at concerts and a science fair.  Note: takes Dan one complete school year to obtain 04 /05 school records. (Over 40 e-mails)

• August 22, 2005, court ordered Dan to surrender children after having custody 24/7 the past three months.  Note: Dan has still not seen his children in the past 11 months.

• October 21, 2005, Dan enrolls in the Brockton visitation Center; Dan's estranged wife cancels a visit in February because of 1 inch of snow, minutes before Dan's arrival.  Visitation Center cancels visitation completely because Dan was 11 minutes late.  Note: Dan allows over two hours to get to his visitation Center and his neighbor, on that day, had the lift break; terminating Dan’s visitation.  Dan's van has over 250,000 miles on it and was donated to him.  It costs approximately $200 per visit and Dan never got to see his kids once and spent approximately $600 plus registration fee.  Note: Dan showed up when the visitation center was closed and no one notified him/they notified his estranged wife who was supposed to call Dan and never did.

• March 2006, Judge Boorstein gives Dan a court order to obtain court tapes for the four days of trial that he was not present.  Note: after approximately 100 attempts in three months after trial; he still has received no tapes.

• March 2006, Judge Boorstein gives Dan a court order to obtain what equipment he would need for teleconferencing.  Note: ADA coordinator recommended that  I “spend $175 an hour and go to Kinko's to have my testimony recorded."

• Judge Boorstein was embarrassed when I told her in April 2006, "that after approximately a hundred attempts to obtain tapes, your own people cannot follow your own court order, how do you expect for me to have any respect for this court?"

• Judge Boorstein dismissed two contempts against Ms. Iagatta for showing up intoxicated and trying to obtain the children; the Foxborough police report clearly shows contempt, however Judge Boorstein dismissed both.

• • Judge Boorstein continued the contempt against Ms. Iagatta for not paying her half ($1,500) for the parent coordinator until judgment; however judgment was issued on July 7, 2006 not addressing the contempt and forcing Dan to pay the full amount.

In closing, these are just 27 of the over 200 atrocities that have been committed by the judicial system and a judge who believes she is immune to retribution.  We all know what the outcome would be if Dan's wife was in the wheelchair.  Dan is begging anyone for help on his long and arduous appeal.  During that time Dan will still not have the opportunity to see his children for the next couple of years.  Even though the court order allows Dan to speak to his children, his wife has blocked all three telephones and Dan must call from a neighbor's house or pay phone just to tell his kids how much he loves them. 

Please help me put an end to the “FOOLISHNESS” in the Family Court!

Respectfully, In Him     Daniel Iagatta III
