          Here's a Thank You Card from attorney Rod Snow and his wife to the Brodbecks, concerning a lovely holiday dinner and [another of] Dee's thoughtful gifts.  Rod Snow was the mother's attorney in a custody case (District Court, Douglas County) No. 00DR0479; Dee Brodbeck was a court-appointed "neutral" in the case.

          As common sense would suggest, CFIs should, "Avoid ex parte communication, which is any communication in which at least one party does not have notice and an opportunity to participate in the communication. Communication with only one party's attorney has the potential to undermine your neutrality, or your presentation of neutrality."  § C1.5 of The Role of the Child and Family Investigator and the Child's Representative in Colorado, First Ed. (Robert M. Smith ed., CLE in Colo., Inc., Supp. 2005) (subsection entitled, "Working with attorneys).

 


 

And, here's an email from Dee Brodbeck to feminist Lenore Walker, author of the "Battered Woman's Syndrome." Brodbeck, apparently, started from a conclusion and, working her way backwards, consulted with Walker to, "be pointed to the literature, so I can explain to the judge, using research quotes, that men, who have dysfunctional relationships with the women in their lives, are very, very often dysfunctional fathers to their daughters as the child matures."

 


 

Reply email from Lenore Walker, advising Brodbeck to, "Get the label "domestic violence" on the dad's behavior . . . This gets a different handling in the courts."

 


 

In this "local Yellow pages and City Guide for Aurora" page, a review-comment has been posted, which states: "Save your child and stay away.  This couple admitted in court they did not investigate the child and the people who knew her, yet placed her with a mother, who had a 10 year history of heroin and crystal meth addiction, and had 3 positive heroin/opiate tests in the last 6 months and [with] a father, who beat the mother [and] of one of his children in the head and attempted to kill another. They lied and said they investigated the problems of the parents, saying they were all better, yet testified they did not have the expertise or education to make that recommendation  . . . They do not investigate best interest[s]  of the child and [have] admitted so. Transcripts are available for any party, whose child was abused by a special advocate, child and family investigator or parenting coordinator."  In case the URL becomes inactive, a cache copy is located here.

 


 

Sept. 1, 2007 email to KnowYourCOURTS.com from contributor, who has asked to remain anonymous:

 

I have personal information on Dee Brodbeck. Twice she was involved in a very contested divorce between my ex and I. My ex-husband and his family have unlimited financial means. The relationship was riddled with domestic violence and alcoholism. Dr. Brodbeck suggested that while father should have custody, he should have nanny to watch over children during daytime hours. She also recommended that he complete sessions with Dr. Charles Hazelhurst. He went through 5 nannies; he "terrorized" them, concerns over his drinking and abuse/neglect went untended. At the time of the final divorce he was charged with domestic violence at the behest of Arapahoe Co. Social Services, and when trial came along, he was immediately hospitalized for acute pancreatitis, a direct result of his abuse of alcohol, yet still nothing was done to protect my children. There are many more instances where her decisions placed my children in harms way, if you'd like to have more details, feel free to respond.

Thank you for all you do,
