My ex-wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY has proven to be of a litigious (one who is prone to engage in lawsuits) nature. The following information highlights the lawsuits she has filed, in my opinion, to pursue of her goal to minimize or eliminate my relationship with my son, or, more accurately, eliminate or minimize my son’s relationship with his dad. I have had litigation or lawsuits to contend with from my ex-wife every year since 1999 except in 2003. In a 6 year period (1999 to 2005) my ex-wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY filed 3 lawsuits plus 1 litigation attempt to take our son & move away to
My son deserves BOTH parents. Any effort to undermine this should be deemed shameful and should be discouraged by our legal system, attorneys and judges.
Unfortunately, the lawyers & judges (who were lawyers before becoming judges) make a living from the litigious types such as my ex-wife and at the expense of my son, our children and our families, so discouraging such actions would undermine a large source of their income.
LAWSUIT # 1 case number DR99-1631.00
APRIL 1999 – My wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY files for divorce. YES, a divorce is a lawsuit. Very few people recognize this fact. There is a Plaintiff and Defendant. My ex-wife was the Plaintiff. I was the Defendant. This lawsuit was resolved in September 2000. JOINT PHYSICAL and JOINT LEGAL CUSTODY of our 3 year old son is agreed upon by both my ex-wife and I.
LAWSUIT # 2 case number DR99-1631.01
NOVEMBER 2001 – Approximately one year after first lawsuit, my ex-wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY files lawsuit seeking full custody of our 4 year old son. This lawsuit is resolved during deposition when she has zero evidence to prove the allegations she filed in court. There is no action taken toward my ex-wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY to hold her accountable for the statements she made under oath that proved to be without merit (in plain talk, all lies). End result from this lawsuit is JOINT PHYSICAL and JOINT LEGAL CUSTODY is agreed upon again.
LITIGATION ATTEMPT TO TAKE SON AND MOVE AWAY TO
JUNE 2004 – my ex-wife DORA BOSTON HEISEY sends certified letter to me stating her intentions to move to
LAWSUIT # 3 case number DR99-1631.02
OCTOBER 2005 – my ex-wife files lawsuit seeking full custody based on her testimony that my fire department schedule was her primary problem. See the following excerpt from March 6, 2006 trial transcripts:
22 Q.(Question from my attorney to my ex-wife Dora Heisey) Well, isn't it a fact that you've told me at
23 deposition and I believe you told us here this morning
24 that the primary reason you brought this lawsuit is
25 because of the schedule at the fire department?
299
1 A.(Answer by ex-wife DORA HEISEY) That is the primary reason, yes.
2 years later, after JUDGE LITTLE has changed his rulings 3 different times, this lawsuit is still underway. I am currently appealing to the Montgomery Court of Civil Appeals the last motion that JUDGE LITTLE denied to correct his ‘inadvertent’ mistake in October 2006.
See JUDGE LITTLE’S RULINGS for more details on the contradictory rulings by JUDGE LITTLE.
UPDATE: July & August 2008 - Alabama Civil Appeals Court Judges (see Civil Appeals Court page) deny my appeal 2 times. I have now submitted my appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court in hopes those judges have a desire to extend justice to my son, me and my family, friends and supporters - to finally end this current legal nightmare - that began because according to my ex-wife and her lawyer Bill Burgess - all because I became a firefighter.
JUDGE LITTLE knowingly chose to leave my son in a worse situation and knowingly chose to take my son’s dad from him. This is the most shameful act on behalf of my son.
The Alabama Supreme Court denied hearing my appeal within two weeks of receiving it. My lawyer stated she has never gotten a reply from them in such a quick timeframe. I suspect it was due to the Amicus Brief (friend of the court) submitted by attorney Stanley Charles Thorne, submitted not on my behalf, but as a friend of the court, advising them of the constitutional protections they are to be mindful of in their rulings. As most, if not all, of the judges ignore the constitution, they rejected his Amicus Brief due to the incorrect font. Yes - incorrect font. However, they were still able to read it and thereby deny my appeal knowing there are others watching their actions. It is easier for them to deny justice than to protect and uphold it.
LAWSUIT # 4 case number DR99-1631.03
September 2008 - Dora Boston Heisey filed lawsuit on May 30, 2008 asking current Judge Bruce Williams to put me in JAIL, fine me, and order me to stop my 'Why Judge Little' campaign when my son is with me. My ex-wife makes claim this has harmed our son. I find it disappointing that her, her lawyer Bill Burgess and Judge Bruce Williams ignore the fallout from the mistakes and rulings Judge Little has made that has harmed our son.
On June 5, 2008 Judge Bruce Williams removes himself from the case due to my 'Why Judge Little' campaign.
Now, no judge in Madison County will hear any case that I am involved so the Alabama Supreme Court has to select a judge from outside our county. The new judge is Kevin Grimes from Cherokee County. He will have to drive 3 hours to Huntsville to hear this case adding more expense to you, the taxpayer, because the judges in Madison County refuse to do their job. They refuse to over turn one of their buddies rulings so they don't make him look bad nor cause themselves any career problems. Judge Williams becomes another judge that covers & protects himself and Judge Little at the expense of justice for my son. WHO's best interest are they concerned with? Their own.
I also find it disturbing that my ex-wife & her lawyer ask the judge to use his power to over-rule my U.S. Constitutional rights to free speech. Yet this is exactly what they expect the judge to order and place upon me. It is done by judges like Judge Little every day in the United States. I have broken no laws. Why do I face jail time for the 2nd time? Because they just want me to be quiet, go along with their system and the way they like things to be done - all which they profit from.
My ex-wife request an pendente lite (emergency) hearing - scheduled for October 6, 10AM, court room 3,
Madison County Court House, Huntsville, Alabama.
I have submitted a motion asking Judge Kevin Grimes to dismiss my ex-wife's lawsuit.
UPDATE - The October court date was postponed and has been rescheduled for February 20, 2009, 1PM, Madison County Court House, Huntsville, Alabama.
>>>>All concerned citizens are invited to your court room to observe our judicial system in action<<<<<
As veteran of the US Navy, during war time 1989-1993, THIS is what I protected and served?
Update on Lawsuit #4: February 20 hearing was not eventful. Judge Grimes would only allow each lawyer 30 minutes of time to present their info, of course both lawyers said that was not enough time and they mutually agreed on their clients behalf, all this behind closed doors in the judges office, to present a written motion to the judge of their requests for their clients. My lawyer Dinah Rhodes submitted request to dismiss based on my First Amendment rights and my ex-wife's lawyer Bill Burgess said my First Amendment Rights are irrelevant in this situation. End result: Judge Grimes denied my motion to dismiss without ANY EXPLANATION because the judges don't have to tell us anything. Judge Grimes set court trial June 29 & 30, 2009. Judge Grimes demonstrated zero respect for the First Amendment now so there is no doubt he will have zero respect for it come June.
June 29, 2009 - Trial took place. I went to court without my lawyer by my own choice. I informed Judge Grimes that I refused to take part in what would amount to another injustice upon my son and I. My ex clearly told her lawyer she wanted me jailed. Witnesses in the court room confirmed this. I walked out of the court room when the judge allowed my ex's lawyers to continue to proceed with trial. I was accosted by two sherrif deputies and the bailiff, telling me to re-enter the court room per the judges order. I stood my ground and repeated I was not taking part in this travesty against me and my son. The judge told them to let me go. Bill Burgess said I was not a flight risk but I was a publicity risk. After being pursued by friends, I re-entered into the court room and asked Judge Grimes if I could have my say, he allowed me to do so. And in summary I told him, my ex, her lawyers, and the witnesses, that we would not be here today if I had kept my conversation to my family and friends about what all has went on these past 10 years at the hand of my ex, the lawyers and judges. That I used modern advertising and technology to make as many citizens in this county and state aware of what injustice had been dealt to me and my son and THAT is what I was on trial for - because the judges, nor lawyers, nor my ex-wife, LIKED WHAT I DID - NOT because I broke any laws, nor lied about anyone or anything. None of them liked that the entire city and state knew of what they have done to me and my son.
We await judges ruling. Transcripts to be posted ASAP.
October 23, 2009 - I received in regular mail the ruling from Judge Kevin Grimes. He made his ruling on October 16. He stated he was not going to put me in jail nor fine me ($$$) yet then fines me $5000. Go figure! He rules that I must remove my son from all of my campaign; remove any materials within 10 miles from my sons school or his mothers house (how can I control what the thousands of people who support me do that live within the 10 mile radius?); remove my campaign info from my vehicles and home if my son is with me; order me to seek evaluation by psychiatrist; he also uses the term "etc..." which has no meaning whatsoever in ANY legal document so isn't that an indication of incompetency?; he takes away my visitation with my son until I comply and then I must ask Judge Grimes to re-instate my visitation once I have complied with all of the above. Can you say Civil Rights Violations galore? If you or I comply with the government taking away our rights then we don't have them nor deserve them.
Judge Grimes states in his intro that my efforts have been all about telling the public what I think Judge Little has done wrong to me. Did Judge Grimes even read my website? Did he even read the Home page and what it says? Doesn't appear so. Judge Grimes, please read my home page - tell me what the focus of it is? It isn't me. It is about what Judge Little has done to my son. I would expect an educated person that becomes a judge to be able to read and interpret what is placed before them when it is clearly spelled out. As we know, that is asking too much of our elected officials in most cases. Judge Grimes has continued the injustice to my son indirectly by punishing me at my ex-wife's request and he has continued to protect his fellow judges that have mishandled my son's well being. You and your family are next!! It will be your kids or grandkids that the judges will destroy next! None of you are immune to the legal system and its injustice. Get involved with the family rights groups in your area now!

Update: June 2010 - Judge Kevin Grimes lost his election race to a new upcomer who has never been a judge. Grimes was a judge for 12 years (2 terms of 6 years each) and was seeking his 3rd term. Seems like those in his own backyard decided they had enough of his "justice". Rarely does a 2 term judge lose.
Lawsuit #5 case number DR99-1631.04
Note: the case numbers layout mean the following:
DR = domestic relations 99 = means the year filed
1631 = not sure what that means .04 = the number of lawsuits filed, starting with ".00"
May 27, 2010 - Dora Heisey files 5th lawsuit , 6th litigation (move away attempt in 2003). Dora Boston Heisey is now asking the Alabama judge to remove me from being the one responsible for providing healthcare insurance coverage for our son and permit her husband Rich Heisey to provide coverage instead of me. If her husband is unable to provide healthcare coverage then Dora would provide it. In case neither of them can provide healthcare, then I would be the one to provide it. There is no reason under the sun for Dora to submit this lawsuit to the judge, waste taxpayers money again, and force both of us to spend money, time, energy to lawyers and court costs, which takes more money away from our sons welfare. To date, I have not idea the amount of money spent on lawyers, court costs, fines, as a result of Dora Heisey Lawsuits - every dollar is taken away from our son and given to the lawyers and judges to provide for their families. In 2005 Dora Heisey cashed out her 401k of $11K to pay retainer fee to lawyer Bill Burgess. She had originally told our son she was going to transfer it into a college fund for him. I have always provided healthcare coverage for our son. I work for the city of Huntsville as a firefighter. Her husband works for Servpro and Dora works as an office worker at a CPA firm. She has no degree, no license, no certification in accounting or as an accountant. Out of the three parties she has brought into this lawsuit I have the most secure (if there is such in this day and time) employment, benefits, etc... She does not cite any reason for her lawsuit in her motion to the judge.
Here are the following results if she is successful:
1- our sons healthcare is placed in the LEAST of the 3 people who are responsible for him - her husband - which could be eliminated through divorce, loss of job, or other.
2 - Dora will receive more child support. Recently I lost my part-time job which resulted in reducing the amount of child support (tax free cash) Dora receives by half - from $635 to $335 per month. By changing the insurance she will increase her child support (tax free cash) by another $100 to $435 approximately. Why does she submit this lawsuit now? Her husband has been employed by Servpro for more than year and half. Coincidence in loss of child support cash or not?
3 - Dora continues to take steps to further alienate me from our son. This lawsuit is a chess move by her to continue to alienate me from our son and simply push me out of his life. I anticipate if she succeeds here that she will soon file a lawsuit seeking to have my parental rights terminated so her husband can adopt our son. Since 1999 she has, among many other methods, been denying me time with our son on days the court order provides, from telling our son he doesn't have to go with me, from telling our son "It's not your dad's day", from abusing both the taxpayers, me, and our son by filing lawsuit after lawsuit. The judges, from Judge Loyd "Buddy" Little, to Judge Bruce Williams, to the Alabama Supreme court judges, the Alabama civil appeals court judges, Judge Kevin Grimes, all have aided and abetted her in this child abuse of our son by denying him his rights to BOTH parents and bloodlines, extended family, friends, and many people who love & miss him on his dad's side of his life.
While this case is yet to be heard, as of now and the past track record, no judge has demonstrated any aspect of equality, fairness, and justice in handling any case against me since my Why Judge Little public awareness campaign. Judge Little began this madness by being unable to make up his incompetent mind.
I recognize I walk into the court room with 2 strikes. If I ever see a judge demonstrate true justice in dealing with any case my name is part of it will be nothing short of a miracle from God. My ex-wife and her lawyers recognize this advantage and continue to abuse our sons well-being with lawsuits that truly undermine our sons best interest.
This website is for my son to know the truth, the facts, the things that were done to him, that altered his life forever, that stole his dad and paternal family and friends from him - people he knew his entire first 10 years of his life and now has little to no relationship with due to being denied his EQUAL rights to BOTH parents. The U.S. Constituiton protects his rights as much as mine or his mothers. It is not age-dependant. The judges ingore their oath every time they make rulings in family court that deny a parent or child the EQUAL rights to one another minus any finding of facts that a parent is unfit.
Those who played a part in this theft and abuse will never make anyone believe it was because I became a firefighter as my ex-wife indicated, or because of my Why Judge Little campaign, or any other nonsense. It has been nothing but their misguided effort for power and control and punishment of me exercising my freedom of speech. I fought for my son starting in 1999 and since 2006 have been denied rights for him and I, by his mom, her supporters, her lawyers, and the Alabama judges. I have said and repeated many years that my ex-wife has told me I was lucky she let me see our son as much as she did and that in 1999 I knew deep down that all Dora Boston Heisey wants it to have me eliminated from our sons life. Why? Only she knows but her actions have proven every word I speak and write. May our son forgive her when he learns of all that has been done to him by her.
My only remedy is to wait patiently for time to pass, day by day, praying God gives me and my son a long life, so that when neither of us are under the thumb of his mother and the Alabama lawyers who become Alabama judges, we can begin having a father-son relationship as it should be and as we should have had these recent years. I, like many before me, have lost all confidence in the Alabama judicial system.
Blake, My son, I love you, I know you read this site, just hang in there, as this too shall pass.
