6/5/2023Why would a brilliant attorney and mother of three take her own life? Because the dysfunctional U.S. family court system took her kids and drove her—like so many others—over the edge.
Our courts repeatedly allow abusers to weaponize our legal system against women—making them the target of a war that can cost them, like Kassenoff, their health, jobs, money, homes, children and peace. No one should live this way in America—or anywhere. It’s an underworld only those who have been through family court, or know someone who has, can comprehend.“I cannot survive this torment and the grief that comes from such a prolonged separation from my children.
George Washington University Law professor Joan Meier, who Kassenoff refers to in her final message, conducted an illuminating 2020 study that proved when women report domestic or child abuse the tables are often turned on them and they lose custody of their children. It’s a no-win situation.The chances that mothers’ allegations of child abuse will be believed are 2.23 times lower than domestic abuse.Mothers reporting a father’s abuse lost custody in 26 percent of cases.
Kassenoff had some recent wins she shared on social media—going from extremely limited visits with her daughters, to longer unsupervised ones. She was arrested in January 2022 for violating a protective order and approaching their daughter by, in her words, “four armed police officers and pinned behind my car door. I was paraded in front of my daughter’s school in handcuffs, frisked, put in a cell and arraigned.” But all charges were dismissed in March.
This case follows countless others across the country that claim “parental alienation”—a pseudoscientific theory that has been widely discredited,Kassenoff’s attorney, Andrew J. Frisch, was unable to comment on the case since the litigation is ongoing. Under New York State law, if a spouse passes during a divorce, the case is “abated by death” and a judgment can no longer be entered.
