TIMELINE
Up to 2009:
We are in New York City. My current wife, Tammy, has bonded with Megan so well that I actually wonder if their relationship is closer than mine and my bioligical daughter. They have this girl thing going on that is beyond shopping and shopping. They are close. They talk about everything. Everything. April loves her.
Me? Well, I am on cloud nine.
How lucky am I. I have a beautiful wife and my daughter loves her.
But they talk about everything.
So on this Summer family road trip, April opens up to my wife and some things my ex-wife has been putting in our 10 year old's head:
"My mom says my dad is abusive, and he used to hit her."

2011: January thru June
Why Christy Garrison shows up at gymnastics practice after 5 years. January 8 Arrive at gymnastics. Head coach informs us Megan quit gymnastics. Were told about concerns regarding Megan’s behavior and of dropping her off while Kaylee, (Megan’s older sibling) and her friends are there. Kaylee is a bad influence on Megan. Jan 15 Contacted Christy about re-establishing my regular visitations. She stated that they were not home and had plans. Christy said to ask Megan. Megan also told me no because they were going to church. To my knowledge Megan does not attend church with her family on any regular basis. Feb 2, 2011 Megan says she misses us and wants to come with us this weekend. It my mother’s birthday get together. Feb 5 Actually got to bring Megan with us. we told Christy it was my mother’s birthday. Christy allowed us to bring Megan, provided we not leave Adelanto and not bring her to our house in La Quinta. Later, was allowed to spend the night at my mother’s house. We stayed as well. 2/9/2011 Reminded Christy we were taking family portraits the weekend of 19th. 2/10/2011 Saw Attorney Carol Adams Lawyer Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 1:09 PM I Reminded Christy I am picking Megan up tomorrow after gymnastics. I offered to split 3 day weekend with her and thanked her for allowing me to see our daughter. Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 1:33 PM I ask Christy to not interfere with my picking Megan up and to please not tell her that she doesn't have to come with me. Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:08 PM To: Father You know im not coming this weekend right? Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:18 PM To: Dad Dad no i already made plans and I know you sent my mom a message shes not the one tell me to not go to your house like you said im staying here this weekend i dont wanna go <[email protected]> Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:23 PM To: Dad Wait dad your making plans for me.I dont want to go this weekend I already made plans soo we dont really need to tlk about it tomorrow cuz either way I dont want to come Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:33 PM To: Father I do respect both my parents just your trying to make plans for me to go with you guys and when i tell you i dont want to go you txt my mom saying im picking up our daughter or whatever and saying id appreciate it if you wouldnt tell megan she doesnt have to see her dad if she doesnt want to im the one that told ehr i didnt want to go with you guys <3ChOwdEr&&PaNiNi<3 2/12/2011 IV, MC, Christy Shows up at gym to interfere with my visitation Christy, Mike and Kaylee walked in the back door and right through the girls practicing. It was 10-15 minutes before gymnastics practice was over. In 5 years Christy has never been there on a Saturday. Christy sat down 3 seats away and began reading her text. When I asked what she was doing there she said she was there to pick up. Megan...seconds later she added that she was also there to watch her. Told Megan to tell me she wasn’t coming with me. Mike and Kaylee are laughing as the events unfold and I am unable to pick up Megan. Joe i have great concerns regarding ur behavior. I did not give u permission to video tape me as this behavior reflects irrational behavior on your part. Megan had over herd mike and i talk about what you did and she claims you also have done this to her. I fear your actions are making our daughter emotinally unstable as she continues to express her dislike of you. I suggest you put your opinions and ill feelings of me aside and try to.work out a relationship with me and my husband. This would result in a better relationship with megan. I pray for you and your family and hope to hear from you soon. @ Feb 19 2011 Christy claims she is unaware of any plans that I may have with Megan even though I informed her on more than one occasion that we were planning on family pictures (See Feb 9 2011). She says if Megan chooses to have her call and accuses me of not doing so in the past. I upset Christy by stating that, we have in fact been showing up every weekend to pick up Megan. Finally she claims that Megan and her have plans. Also that Megan has cramps and will not be attending gym that day. No that has not been the case. We have always arranged visits. Also I have never not allowed visits in the past, rather lately megan has expressed her concerns with your visitation and fears going to your house. We need an agreed visitation prior to you taking her. I had plans with her this weekend. Also megan has cramps and will not be at gym. I have an appointment on tues for counseling for megan to get to the reason why she refuses to go to your house and her feelings toward this situation. thanks. Feb 19 2011 Refuses to give me name of therapist until after first visit. Claiming she needs to see if she is right for Megan. Eventually after I ask her to confirm that she is refusing me information, she gives me a name. Feb 27 2011 Michelle post on my Facebook that she will see Megan next weekend. March 1 2011 Just wondering if u r picking megan up this weekend. Also i will keep u informed about her appt tomorrow. I am really hoping she can sort through her emotions and we can move forward. I am encouraging her to see you this weekend. Let me know Of course I would love to see her. You know that we have been driving there every weekend to pick her up! I have been wanting to see her every weekend since beginning of December. I hope u follow thru with her therapist appointment. I am curious how therapist would feel about the amount of time I have not been allowed to see megan. This has gone on far too long. I HOPE I am allowed to see her this weekend. Joe i never restricted u from seeing her. For the past 3 weeks alone i thought u were taking her. I was just very concerned on her fears of going to ur house and i feel that therapy can open up these feelings. This was megans choice not mine and i really wish u would stop blaming me. We have always agreed on visitations and what is best for megan. Believe it or not she was really shaken by you taking her on christmas in the manner u did. I only asked for you to give her some time and i am thankful you did. But now i think its time to rebuild. We will get to the bottom of this in theapy but for now i have to respect her choices. Megan would not have reacted by throwing an hour long temper tantrum if u wouldn't have told her NOT to come with me on Christmas. The ONLY person who believes that Megan is afraid to come visit is you. Like I said therapy is a great idea. I can't wait to join in on the therapy process with megan. Did u want me to meet with therapist tomorrow as well? I don't think therapist would object to both parents being there. Its baffling to EVERYONE what megan could possibly be afraid of. She doesn't get spanked, yelled at or in trouble...if anything she is spoiled and extremely well behaved when she is with us. Its a stable loving environment. All I want is to be allowed to see Megan. That's all I ever asked of you. We will drive up this weekend, hopefully we can open her Christmas gifts with her. Look i dont know what to say to you i can see that u have anger in ur heart. I cant tell you why she feels this way. That is why i am taking her to counseling. The problem is not with me its with you. This counseling is not about you and making a scene. She will shut down if u go. If you love her u will give her time. And i dont care what others believe of my daughter. I am her mother and i need to protect her. Please try and humble yourself and give this to her. 3/2/2011 On day before counseling started Christy agrees to let me see Megan. Additionally, when Megan tries to “work” her Christy sticks to her guns and makes Megan visit. 3/3/2011 We open Christmas presents at our home with Megan. 3/10/2011 Megan had a GREAT time this weekend, it was good to have our Megan back. But it is weird that we haven't heard from her since Sunday. Been trying to get a hold of her. Did u or kaylee take her phone away again? What happened? U know this is the only way I can communicate with her. Did she go to therapy this week? Would like to pick her up this weekend to continue to rebuild our relationship. Mike took her phone on tue cuz but she got it back wed. I asked her to call u to say hi and updAte u on her week. She has had her phone all week nevertheless. Her counseling is every other week so next wed is her appt. I think a friend of hers who moved away is visiting this weekend but call her to comferm. Thanks megan say she just got her phone back this morning...apparently she is lying...and she has been ignoring me and tammy all week..I don't believe I should reward this behavior by letting her hang out with her friends, do you?..I am trying to teach her about accountability, boundaries and remind her that she is not the parent. It is crucial at this age. I will be picking her up on Saturday. Thanks Mike just told me he had took her phone away longer than i thought. Dont know what meg is telling u but she normally never lies to me about anything. She is a wonderful duaghter and i am proud of her. I have this weekend off and i am hoping u take her on the weekends i work. Let me know either way but we need to agree on the weekends u will be taking her. I think it is unreasonable to only be allowed to see Megan 4 days out of the month. So I will be picking her up on Saturday. K just let her know. Thanks Friday Mar, 11, 2011 Cara Incident. Sat, Mar 12, 2011 IV, D, MC Am I going to be allowed to take Megan or not? Mike is over here accusing me of not caring about Megan, not returning his calls, and of drama all in front of other parents..he needs to not harrass us at gym. Joe u are accusing a very good man of wrongful things. He is a very good father to ur daughter and u should respect that. He is very concened as am i about ur spiteful actions. Please work this out with megan and mike. Wednesday Mar. 16, 2011 Megan's therapist called on Wednesday at about 4 pm. Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 8:02 PM Joe To: Christy Megan say you guys are celebrating a birthday and she wants to stay with you.

Claims to have contacted me numerous times regarding this. 4 minutes after Megan text me that I won’t be seeing her for Easter tomorrow. And that she has plans for the following weekend as well. Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 9:55 PM To: Christy I would like to see megan please. This will be 3 easters in a row I haven't been allowed to see her. Christy never shows up. Instead she sends Mike to Ontario. We do get to see Megan after her meet and then drive her home. Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 10:18 PM Megan had called me, but the conversation seemed insincere, almost rehearsed. Eventually Christy made no attempt to hide the fact that she was in the room coaching Megan. I paused in the middle of the conversation with Megan to send her the following text. To: Christy I would like to have a conversation with our daughter without u sitting in her ear please. May 22, 2011 Tehachapi State Meet.

We need to talk about all this Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 9:22 PM To: Christy Garrison Megan sat in my car crying...told me numerous times that u told herto lie about it and how relieved she was to finally be able to tell me. She has been torn becuz she is trying to be honest, a good daughter and is proud of herself for rebuilding our relationship.. If u r going to deny your part in this then i strongly urge u reconsider. And u r dam right we r going to talk about his in therapy. Do not take this out on her. you really did it this time. U need to acknowledge to her that it was wrong to tell her to lie. She needs an apology! Christy Garrison Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 9:24 PM To: Father We will talk in therapy Christy Garrison Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 10:12 PM To: Father Btw, i dont think u should be telling megan that i am a bad mother and my family is disfuntional. U think u r so perfect joe. I wish u would leave my fam ily alone. I am a good mother, i never td her to lie. U just cant let us be happy right? What my chilren do is none of ur buisness unless it effects mega n. Stop saying negative things about kaylee to megan. She loves her sister. Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 10:55 PM To: Christy Garrison Christy, you need help. U r doing irreparable damage to megan by having her lie. She was extremely distraught. I know you r triggered, because megan told me the truth. She did the right thing. Do not take it out on her ..i will not stand by while u hurt another child. I am not afraid of u...the only way u can hurt me is by continuing to try to mess up our daughter and i will not stand by while u do that. What u r doing is wrong, we are all tired of it . What you did was abusive, so far everyone we talk to about this is appaled that a mother told her daughter to lie to her dad about her 23 year old brother sleeping with a 15 year old. megan deserves a huge, sincere apology. Christy Garrison Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 11:11 PM To: Father I never take anything out on my chilren, that is ur thing. Leave us alone. U are doing tge damage to our daughter not me. U cant keep harrasing her and f Christy Garrison Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 11:11 PM To: Father orcing her to tell u what u want to hear to get ur way. Leave her alone. Stop making her upset, thus is not healthy! U r the one with some srious issues. My kids are all happy and well. U dont need to get in my biusness. If megan makes her way out what u do to her it will be god and her loving parents. In the mean time stop harrassing me and our daughter!!! Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 11:21 PM To: Christy Garrison I really think u need to sleep on it. Goodnight.

She did really good at the meet even though she doesnt think so. Her routines were good but her placements didnt reflect her performace. But she had fun and has a good attitude none_the_less. Christy Garrison Sat, May 19, 2012 at 7:47 PM To: Father Yes she seems happy. Thanks and have a good grad party... June 14 2012 Meet with Megan for road trip to Tennessee to pick up her best friend and then to DC and NYC. June Insert text from Mom June June Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 11:41 AM To: Christy Garrison Apparently Megan is still being allowed to have a boyfriend but just not "label it". Her text messages and cell phone continue to be un monitored (she uses words like FUCK and BITCH) and she is being allowed to delete text messages. She was distraught because her "crush" was playing games with her on the phone and not saying " i love you" back. Jobi is also showing signs of being over bearing and telling Megan she is not allowed to say other guys are "cute" and giving her a hard time when she doesn't respond. So part of our vacation was disrupted over megans "crush." I made copies of text messages for shirley. Megan is having fun now that we took her phone away and is focusing on family and emma. It really is unfortunate that this is continus to be an issue. Megan is NOT ready to BE in a reationship!!! She CANT handle IT! Christy Garrison Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 11:42 AM To: Father Yes i do agree Christy Garrison Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 11:45 AM To: Father I would like to have the same copies you sent to shirley. Please i dont mind us discussing this in therapy but i should aslo be included in what you are Christy Garrison Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 11:45 AM To: Father finding and sending to our therapist.

Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:42 PM To: Christy Garrison And you never answered my question...did u know that megan and Joby were in a relationship and makng out? Or is Megan lying? Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:44 PM To: Father Lax at 8 pm... These issues are inappropiate to discuss via text. We can discuss it in therapy like i had mentioned. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:47 PM To: Christy Garrison Ok..we r just trying to figure out who is lying...she says u knew and allowed it. Interesting how now you want to go back to therapy. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:48 PM To: Christy Garrison When is Megans appt? Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:48 PM To: Father Friday Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:49 PM To: Father I will have her call you when we r in the car from lax. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:49 PM To: Christy Garrison What time? I think we should all be there... Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:49 PM To: Christy Garrison To get to the truth about what is going on... Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:51 PM To: Father Megan is going alone without any of us, she needs the one on one time. She has to wrk through her issues as well and we both agreed shirley is good with her Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:53 PM To: Father if you would rather i have her see someone new other than shirley i can arrange that. Other than this we can all talk about this on the 20th. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:56 PM To: Christy Garrison Which issues are u refering to? I would like to know..she is a wonderful girl and level headed... Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:56 PM To: Christy Garrison Why would we need another therapist? Im confused. Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:59 PM To: Father Like i said texting these conversations is not appropriate, we can discuss it in our therapy sessions. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 2:03 PM To: Christy Garrison It would help if u make it to therapy and not only when you want to do damage control or manipulate things. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 2:04 PM To: Christy Garrison We will be there friday as well. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 3:15 PM To: Christy Garrison What time and date is megans theray appt? Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 8:19 PM To: Christy Garrison Did u pick up Megan? Christy Garrison Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 8:38 PM To: Father Just got her, ill have her call u July 19, 2012 to July 27, 2012 Megan was with us. We discussed honestly, exaggerating events, and manipulating situations so that she gets her way with her mother. The four Agreements. Friday, July 27 2012 Invited Christy and Mike to our home to work out issues with Megan. Only Christy should up. But she was triggered and it took some convincing to get her to sit and relax. Christy picks Megan up for her week. Saturday, July 28, 2012 Megan has a “session” with my sister-in-law, Jeree. Christy and Kaylee are there too, as well as my mother who is measuring curtains for their home. Things have gone downhill since then. July 29 July 30, 2012 Christy took her to counseling without my knowledge. Admits it in Transcript 095 July 30, 2012 92 Megan said she was there to visit Emily. Claims she wasn’t around when Christy and Kaylee were bad mouthing me. Transcript 092 July 31 2012 Christy called: Give Megan 1 to 2 weeks. Aug, 2 2012 Christy Aug 3, 2012 Aug 3: I text Christy, "Can you have Megan call me please?" at 6:29 pm Christy responds, "I will let her know" at 8:37 pm I didn't hear from Megan for about 5 days. Aug 6: I was Call/Text early in the morning about an Ex Parte (Christy's emergency request to deny me access to Megan) filed by Christy for the next morning. Aug 7: Went to emergency hearing. Ex Parte Hearing Denied! So Ex Parte hearing was denied. So I can pick Megan up on Friday per our court order right? Christy has another tactic in mind. She says Megan will have to put on a show. And ball her eyes out See Aug 10th I waited a day to call, then text Megan because I felt Christy would be triggered by judges denial. I had no idea how triggered she was, until Aug 10th Aug 10, 2012 Christy Violated Court Order. Mike came to van. Refused to allow me to pick up Megan. Did not encourage Megan to come with dad. See sheriff Incident report VV 122230153 Aug 11, 2012 Megan is kept from gymnastics the day after. Christy sends me a text with picture of Megan playing in rain. Aug 11, 2012 Spoke to Megan. Calls mom Tammy. Is she abused? “Not Yet.” Aug 16, 2012 Aug 16: Christy continues to text, but refuses to encourage Megan to see me which is in clear violation of court order. She also continues to text me to call Megan. In the last 10 years Christy has never been concerned whether or not I call Megan. She has never had to be. I call her all the time. I continue to call her even though no one answers, or someone belches in my ear, Megan never comes to the phone or I am left on hold forever before someone simply hangs up on me. On occasion, Megan does come to the phone. I talk to her even though It does not sound like our daughter. She is rude, has an attitude and sometimes pauses as if she needs direction on how to respond or she is being told what to say. Aug 17, 2012 Aug 17: At 8:22 PM I received a threatening phone call from Sharon. Calling me a stalker and some other expletives. Aug 18, 2012 Once again we were not able to see Megan this weekend, even though we drove 2 hours. Again. It was the second weekend in a row that Christy has disregarded our court order. She brought her to the front parking lot of gymnastics but according to a text from Christy, “Megan was excited to be at gym today until she saw your car and then refused to get out of my car to wrk out! I couldn’t get her out to go to gym. So once again thank you for making it real hard on Megan! She is crying...” Aug 18, 2012 2:34 pm Kaylee Handed me a letter from Megan. I was in van outside gymnastics. Aug 20, 2012 Aug 20: Called the Megan's house. To My surprise Christy picked up. She presented some lame excuses and at the same time denied that she knew about her sister and the friend escorting Megan off floor. I asked her about a letter I received from Megan where Megan says that she believes that I love Stephanie more than I love Megan. Christy denies knowing anything about this. Michael abruptly gets on phone, goes on a tangent and hangs up on me. I text back both of them and ask if I can speak to Megan. Megan eventually calls me back. She is rude, short and says she doesn't want to see me again or her step mother who she now refers to as Tammy. Aug 28, 2012 Started off with pictures of Megan texted from Christy. I responded by simply asking when I could see Megan. To my surprise Megan (might have been her) texted me from Christy's phone "Im glad that you happy I got my braces off...its megan" Not being sure if it was Megan or not, I have to respond as if it is. I haven't seen Megan in close to a month and she has been refusing to tell me she loves me. So you can imagine my surprise when responded with, "love u 2." I was talking with another therapist and i Just left her standing there while text that I miss her and I asked when I could see her again. She didn't respond right away and my 11:15 appointment came in. After our session, I checked my phone and I almost cried when I read, "Was thinking of dinner sometime just me and you only...here in silverlakes" from Megan! Then I saw the next text. "Nevermind.." My response is to the right but I was at a loss at how to respond. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened. It is the hell that I am going through right now and it makes no sense. Sept 14, 2012 Therapy with Shirley. Megan and I go in. Christy is already there. Mike shows up. Tammy waits in car with girls. Christy denies visitation. Sheriff Incident Report: VC 122580287 Thursday, Sept 20, 2012 I visited Megan. She was not the same as when we have previously spent time together. She acted distant and was short with her responses. Friday, Sept 21, 2012 Received text from a concerned parent. Megan walked into gymnastics crying. Also received a message on Facebook days later about concern for Megan crying all day at gym. Saturday, Sept 22, 2012 Megan didn’t attend gymnastics Sunday Sept 23, 2012 Spoke to Megan. Short. Distant. But said she loved me. 171: I ask Megan what she is afraid of. She doesn’t answer. Then say she is going to stop talking to me. And I ask about un-comfortableness. We will discuss in therapy. If you guys just take me its going to destroy our relationship even more. Megan lies about phone. Slips about mom told me... Friday Sept 28, 2012 Christy sent a letter in an e-mail. Megan had has phone for a month and claims she sent me phone number. Megan called. Said she got phone. 1 week ago said she didn’t have phone. Admits to lying. Megan quit gymnastics. FRIDAY SEPT 28, 2012 6:43 pm I called Christy’s cell. Mike answered. Christy refused to come to phone. Mike suggested I call back and leave a message. He said Chirsty would then call me back. I asked if they were going to allow me to pick up Megan or if I needed to call sheriff for documentation. Something I am not comfortable having to do. Mike said, “ How’s that calling the police working out for you, good?” Saturday September 29, 2012 Megan text love you too. Oct 3, 2012 Text Christy asking to see Megan because Aunt Irene is dying.

Christy texts me that Megan is waiting for me. Friday Nov 9 2012 I was already in Hi desert when CPS called. Lillian Mcconnell sounded pleasant and personable on phone, I was on my way to pick up Megan but she pressed for me to come in. “We believe children when they say things here...” It’s funny how you have empowerment books and yet you don’t let your children be empowered when she doesn’t want to visit....am I missing something.” “This shows signs of grooming for sexual abuse...” When asked if she had ever heard of parental alienation...blank look on her face and she said that they don’t do that there...? When I had answered and responded to the convenience of the timing of this latest allegations she then turned to allegations of emotional abuse. Stating that someone has been emotionally abusing Megan. I agreed that someone has. I never let Megan call home... Fri Nov 9 Megan’s therapist calls me. Asks me if I had Megan.

I was informed that someone made a police report appx 4 mins before my request regarding an alleged incident on Oct 13-14...I was told that I could pick up my incident report and asked to have officer Harding call me back.
