Case Reopened in Family Court

Not surprisingly, the Supreme Court would not file my petition since Cornfeld and I were not married, and the proper jurisdiction was family court. Because the NYC Court system is very slow, inefficient, and backlogged, it took me about one year and a half due to my first petition being returned 6 months later. At that point I sent petitions to EVERY SINGLE COURT including the court of appeals, and the family court took up my case. During pre-trial, the sitting judge ordered another psych evaluation. And this time, the evaluator’s diagnosis was “PD-NOS” (Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) which was in line with the previous diagnosis from a Dr Berill, who was involved with the previous proceeding. For some reason, his testimony was blocked in the Supreme Court. At that point my options were to settle, or to proceed Pro Se (self-represented) as my lawyer informed me that there was nothing he could do to help me due to the testimony being blocked.

Interestingly, I spent the year of 2022 taking care of my 93 year old grandmother, who had gotten to the point where she could no longer take care of herself. I was responsible for all of her affairs, including selling her home, moving her across the country to live with me in Texas, her personal care, meals, and escorting her to doctor’s appointments. Sadly, she passed away at 94 years old in a local hospital after a long struggle with increasingly debilitating health issues. After her passing, I because a patient at a local mental health clinic, and again, the diagnosis was “depression” with additional insomnia and some other minor issues. This, again, is consistent with another diagnosis by a practitioner who saw me for 3 years in NYC, paid for by Arthur Cornfeld. So there is a preponderence of evidence which shows that Cornfeld lied about my mental health status, and worked his privilege position to use all sorts of dirty tactics, including stalling and running out the clock, judge shopping, and lying under oath in court.

Due to the Supreme Court not taking up my case, I cannot file for damages due to support not paid as agreed, and health benefits entirely unpaid, in addition to other concerns. In spite of all these things, a settlement was almost reached, and then proposed settlement was changed a few days before the appearance date. At this point I have absolutely no compelling reason to settle. If anything, Cornfeld will be kept in line during the proceedings because all refused visitations and last minute schedule changes will be on the record. Sadly, this case is only one of many cases in the NYC court system in which wealthy persons (generally white men) manipulate the system to their advantage. Unfortunately it is too late to get any sort of restitution for the bad behavior, the lies, and the unfortunate emotional turmoil which my children have been put through due to the whole situation.

During a tenant conflict at one of the Cornfeld owned apartment buildings, various tenants complained about Alex specifically, his bad attitude, and dismissiveness of tenant concerns. And there were various reports of these specific tenants who had complained publicly being harassed in various ways by unknown strangers. This includes Kirby Sommers, former tenant at a Cornfeld building on 69th St in Manahttan. I have no doubt in my mind that the strange spoofed calls at late hours in the evening, repeated hangups, crank calls, cars with alarms going off in front of my home for hours at a time, were sponsired directly by Cornfeld. In addition, there was other street harassment by various individuals. When I moved to several other states, most of the harassment ceased. There was one instance of a decapitated bird found outside my back patio, and a few other little things, but for the most part, it was like a breath of fresh air.

Unfortunately, there are other, very similar cases to my own in which highly functional, productive people have had their children taken away from them simply due to a loose accusation, with very little evidence. In fact, the court system in New York enables Salem style “witch hunts” which would be classified as “hearsay” in court. Below is the new mental health diagnosis on file with the court, edited to protect the identity of my providers. This is again consistent with two other past diagnoses found in previous posts.
