Good afternoon,
I was married an abusive man, Michael P. Schmitt. My VAWA petition was approved by USCIS. During divorce process I was represented by an attorney, provided by the Nassau Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
We got final divorce in 2018.
Since that time Mr. Schmitt does not stop harassing and following me.
He files violation and modification petitions every few month with the Nassau County Family Court.
Hon. Peterson aware that Michael Schmitt is abusing the system but she continues to accept his petitions and even gives Orders of Protections to an abusive man without any proofs.
Family Court gives the Order of Protection to everyone without proofs when they aware that most of the time people need the Order of Protection to arrest the other party, to gain a custody and take advantages out of the system.
Mr Schmitt called police on me twice to get me arrested, not because there is a reason, but because he has an active Order of Protection and he is looking to use it against me to gain a full custody of the child.
He goes in the local police department with requests to arrest me.
Nassau County Family Court put me in the position of the victim.
They also put my child in the position of the victim because the father is manipulating the child and I.
Instead of preventing an abuser from harassing me during 9 years, they want my 9 y. o. child to go in Trial against me.
Michael Schmitt has strong believes on what life other people should be and, since I am his ex-wife, he is trying to force me to live by his rules even after divorce. The reason for our divorce was cruel and inhuman treatment and abuse.
While we were married, my neighbors discovered unusual violent online postings from my ex-husband, who is supporting killing people.
Judge Peterson in the Family Court accepting petitions from my ex – husband( with the same complaint) , even if it is already system abuse.
Mr. Schmitt filed about 10 Orders of Protections against me and dropped them after. There over 10 modification and violations petitions every two months filed by him in the Family Court. He also filed about 10 or 15 complaints with CPS that came back unfounded.
Please, assist me in this situation because I believe that harassment from Michael Schmitt should be stopped.
