I write this review of Jacqueline with the intention of being as honest and accurate as possible. I refer to her by her first name throughout as not only is that how she often referred to herself to us during her excruciating two year appointment, but also because she does not deserve to be referred to as “Dr.” - that should be reserved for professionals.
Jacqueline was appointed as our Parenting Coordinator for a two year term. Quick internet research would show that everyone thought she was terrible. This should have been my first red flag but, considering I married an evil woman and ignored all of her glaring red flags, at least I was consistent. Jacqueline is every bit as bad, and worse, than all the bad reviews I read of her.
I made some serious mistakes with my ex-wife during our painful 12 year relationship. Jacqueline viewed me currently through the lens of my past mistakes, even before meeting me in person; her mind was clearly already made-up that she would be an… enabler for the mentally ill and abusive ex-wife, which lasted unrelentingly her entire two year appointment.
My ex-wife was diagnosed with a serious mental disorder by at least two psychiatrists during our marriage. This very serious and very real diagnosis, that my ex-wife conveniently denies to this day, has a significant and direct relevance to our case and her false allegations. I brought this up to Jacqueline several times, even giving her the name and contact information of one of the diagnosing psychiatrists. Jacqueline paid absolutely no attention to it, completely dismissing it and calling it “irrelevant.” Had she bothered doing her job and looking even slightly into it, she would have found it be quite relevant. All she had to do was look and ask a question or two, but that was too much for her. I know my ex-wife was relieved that one of her dirty little secrets remained just that. One of our kids was even finally able to speak up and tell Jacqueline about her mother’s severe anger and emotional regulation issues. Jacqueline, very unprofessionally, not only told the mother (and I) about it in a joint meeting, she even laughed when our eldest described her mother as “the devil incarnate.” She laughed. Never once did she even entertain the possibility that what she was being told was the truth; not if went against mother!
It was clear that my ex-wife, whom I have three (wonderful) children with, had been slowly but surely alienating them from me. The documentation was astounding: statements made to me, their grandparents, my wife, custody evaluators, etc. I brought my concern of the increased alienation up to Jacqueline. Her response? “Your ex-wife thinks YOU are alienating the kids from HER.” That is one of my ex-wife’s many projections, supported and enabled by Jacqueline. She didn’t do a thing about it except for tell me that’s what our kids’ mother says about me; which couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Jacqueline, over her two year appointment, proceeded to align and collude with other “professionals” in our case, having a long-lasting and catastrophic impact. Despite me having a very strong and loving relationship with all three of our three kids and them asking for more time with me, Jacqueline slowly and methodically began taking away our time together. She even enabled two of our kids to skip a “family” vacation to Hawaii. The list goes on and on. Jacqueline’s two year appointment ended (thankfully) almost two years ago as of this review, and she left nothing but a path of destruction and MANY destroyed lives. Our kids will now face a lifetime of work and recovery thanks to her ineptitude and collusion with their mother. And she holds a phD in psychology!
When Jacqueline’s appointment came to an end, the ex-wife filed yet another motion based upon her continued false allegations to get 100% physical/legal custody. Not only did the judge deny this request, he actually put one of our two kids (that Jacqueline had modified, despite that being outside of her appointment) back on his normal schedule with me. The judge was beginning to undo some of the damage done by Jacqueline and the mother.
It has now been over a year since my daughter has seen or spoken to me. She hates me, thanks to her mother’s alienation. And just two months after the judge put our son back on the normal schedule, he all of a sudden refused to see or talk to me as well (almost a year now). Anyone who knows anything about parental alienation knows that, as long as the victimized kids are in the sole care of the alienating parent, they can never “escape.” I’ve accepted the likelihood that I may never see or speak to two of my three kids again; certainly not while they live with their abuser.
The negative consequences are extreme and lifelong. They affect not just me and our children, but all of their extended family (on my targeted side, that is). Our kids, thanks to their mother and with Jacqeuline’s assistance, now believe they are being “kept safe” by not being with me. They have shunned every family member on my side. They are being robbed of a loving family and childhood, all because of a mentally ill woman - who refuses to admit to anyone that she is sick - and her accomplice, Jacqueline.
If you have the option of choosing Jacqueline or someone else, CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE. If Jacqueline is appointed to your case, FIGHT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU CAN. Run, don’t walk, from Jacqueline. She will surely ruin the lives of your kids and take all of your money. She is immoral, biased, unprofessional, and should lose her license. Don’t find out the hard way like me and these others.
