Contentious divorces, where children are involved, tend to contain false accusations. The following is exactly that situation. The interesting part? The ex-wife has been given a jail sentence, even if it really isn't much of a punishment. And from the information supplied, she still has custody of their daughters.
Lauren Lippe, according to Judge Robert Ross, is "a vengeful roadblock, the barbed wire standing in the way of her two daughters and their desperate dad."
While this may be something more appropriate to the Fathers & Families site, she also falsely accused the father of molesting one of the girls.
Lippe is known to engage in tirades against Ted Rubin (her ex) in front of the girls calling him a “deadbeat,” “loser,” “scumbag” and “f – - – ing asshole.”, and according to Judge Ross, would deliberately plan last minute trips and events when Ted was scheduled to visit the girls. While it is contentious, this seems to be a clear cut case of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS).
If Rubin protested, Lippe would berate him mercilessly. Court documents say that she once blared at him, “We all hope you die from cancer,” with both daughters in her arms.
When describing the hell he had gone through, including missing out on Hanukkah with his children, Lippe was smirking in court. The worst part, according to Ross, was "the crescendo of the plaintiff's conduct" which included false accusations of sexual abuse.
In 2008, Lippe charged that Rubin had fondled the breasts of one of his daughters. She later admitted she knew nothing had occurred.\
Judge Ross wrote in his decision, handed down last week, “The evidence before me demonstrates a pattern of willful and calculated violations of the clear and express dictates of the parties’ Stipulation of Settlement.”
He was also a little upset that she had punished the children for wanting to spend time with their dad.
The sentence, while at least is an on record punishment, really amounts to a slap on the wrist. She has to spend six weekends in jail, but it will be served on the first and third weekends in June, July and August. The sentence has been stayed pending appeal.
Please pay special attention to the next part: Rubin is expected to take care of the children while Lippe is on lockdown.
Notice that he was not given custody, even with all of the garbage this sorry excuse for a mother has pulled. Someone is going to have to explain to me why she deserves anything other than supervised visitation, with him having primary and physical custody.
Kieth Rieger, Lippe's lawyer, criticized the decision. “It’s extremely unusual, and in this case, it’s inappropriate,” Rieger said. “He chose to believe the husband and not her. Of course, she’s upset, but she’s also worried about her children. She’s worried that if she goes to jail how it will affect the children.”
Do you think, Mr. Rieger, she should have given that some consideration before she made false accusations, and interfered with Mr. Ruben's visitation?
Rubin, 52, a marketing executive, declined to comment, but has sounded off about his dilemma on his Internet blog: “Spending time with my girls is something I put before all else,” Rubin wrote last year. “They are teenagers now and being a divorced dad, it can be challenging to continue to reach out, put them first, and maintain this in the face of their occasional lack of interest and the roadblocks so easily put in place by their mom.”

Falsely accused man awarded $852K
Not only was Mr. Ginyard awarded a judgement of over $850K, he was also awarded custody of his children. With the knowledge of just how egregious an act is needed for custody to be taken from a custodial mother, this is a rather interesting turn.
A jury found that the attention put on Mr. Ginyard after his ex-wife falsely accused him of sexually abusing their children was worth $850K. This decision came more than a year after he was awarded custody of his two girls.
In 2005, Darryl and Amani Ginyard divorced, and entered into an agreement on custody where both parents would have equal time with the kids. Just two months into the arrangement, he was to be with the kids during Christmas, but the ex wanted the children with her. The next thing he knows, the police show up at his home, because the ex said that the children were in trouble and he was trying to take them out of town.
On Valentines day of the following year, Darryl had his oldest daughter while the ex had the youngest. It was after that visit that it was alleged that he had sexually abused his eldest daughter. Those charges were investigated and ruled unfounded. And knowing the "err on the side of caution" attitude, and what an allegation of sexual abuse of a child carries, this says something. Mr. Ginyard was accused seven more times over the next two years, with each accusation being ruled unfounded. Each time the questioning by police grew longer, and went from simple talks, to interrogations.
Custody was taken from him during these investigations, and after and allegation in 2006, he wasn't allowed to see his children for nine months. He missed another month and a half after an allegation in 2007.
To add insult to injury, in 2006, after the HR department at the bank he worked at was notified of a subpoena for child sexual assault, Ginyard was fired.
In all, there were eight allegations made between 2006 and 2008. The first made to a therapist that Amani took the girls to see. And it is mandatory to report sexual abuse of minors that therapists are told about. The kicker? It wasn't the girls who made the claim, it was the mother. The girls however, denied that any sexual abuse ever took place.
After a two day trial in 2010, Circuit Court Judge Paul F. Harris Jr. ruled the allegations false, and that the earlier custody agreement was to be reversed, and that Darryl would have primary custody. Amani was granted visitiation. The decision was upheld by the Court of Special Appeals.
Sadly, the damage that this has done to Mr. Ginyard, it telling. He has testified that the years of false allegations has damaged the relationship with he and his children, and that he is afraid to do simple things like hug or sit and snuggle with his girls while watching a movie. He doesn't let them spend much time in his room, and because of the way things have happened, he finds himself distancing himself from them, to try to keep himself from being in a situation that could cause another accusation.
Her attorney, Michael G. Morin, says Mr. Ginyard didn't suffer enough to get the money he was demanding, since his client didn't publicly accuse him, and makes the claim that there have been zero damage to Mr. Ginyard, except to his ego. According to Mr. Morin, being scared to hug your children is not considered damage.
The jury however, didn't agree. They awarded $2K in attorney's fees for malicious prosecution, $800K for the false accusations and attorney's fees, and $50K for punitive damages.
The hearing, according to his attorney, was his "one chance to come before a jury and tell his story and tell what the allegations of sexually abusing your two young daughters do to you," Lorraine Lawrence-Whittaker said. "She dragged him through the mud."
The wife maintains that she was simply stating her worries about sexual abuse, saying that it was based on what her daughters were telling her and their emotional behavior was during those times.
