A parent's divorce decree (rights) supercedes a program's policies and contracts. Further, this father did not sign the contract- mom had another ex sign as 'father'. Because this father has joint custody, that fact alone should make the contract null and void. Legal action could probably be taken against the ex who represented himself as the boy's father.
The major problem appears to be that the family court judge ruled that the child would remain in the program, denying temporary custody.
There's something very wrong when a judge rules that a child will stay in a program when 1) a professional evaluation showed it not to be in his best interest and 2) the other biological parent has expressed a desire for custody.

Well......When we first saw a faxed copy of the enrollment contract, it was so blurred and had been faxed back & forth between the signing parties for signatures, we couldn't make out much. But I finally went on the Redcliff website and "registered" to get a password (like I was actually going to try to enroll a child) and was able to get in to see the actual contract. It's separate from the rest of the application documents, and is called the RCA Financial Contract. Only the most desperate parent would sign that piece of garbage. There is nothing there to indicate the other parent would have no rights. In fact, it says clearly that in the event another parent, REGARDLESS of their custodial status, wants to withdraw the child, no problem. Come & get him. Unfortunately, my husband didn't SIGN this contract, so he can't hold them to it. But I think it's pretty darned clear, since it's in their contract, it must be their POLICY. Any reasonable person would assume so. We just can't understand why they require so much more for my husband to withdraw him. It makes no sense, and they refuse to explain. Our attorney will address this with them this week.
The enrollment contract, as it was executed, was so fradulent. The mother signed it, along with her 3rd ex-husband (who has NO legal standing with regard to this child), representing themselves as "the legal Parent(s)/Guardian(s) with full legal/joint physical custody of ." Keeping in mind that this was accompanied by the other application paperwork Redcliff received, with contradictory information as to custody, they have to assume some responsibility for this. And they will, like it or not. This kind of thing can't go on.
I don't believe one parent can give permission for a business entity to deny the other parent's rights. The mother and her 3rd ex-husband paid to have the child abducted and taken to Utah. We have papers from the court here in NH, saying my husband is entitled to ALL information about the child by virtue of being his legal custodian, and the mother is required to provide him a flight itinerary whenever the child travels out of state. She disregarded this order, although in the grand scheme of things, this is the least of our concerns. My husband is not even allowed to know the name of the company who abducted his son. Redcliff said they'd be happy to give him a list of all the companies they recommend for parents to choose from, but refuse to tell him which one brought the child to them. That's "private". This is wrong on so many different levels.
We'll get more info from the atty on Tuesday, maybe good, maybe not. But I'm not giving up either way.

Right on Deborah! YES, we're planning to go after the ex-step-father as well. He did this to another one of his step-sons (don't know if this was before or after he divorced the mother, and don't know if the natural father had a clue). He has to be stopped. This one, I'm going to ENJOY. :flame:

Maybe I'm just simple minded. But it seems to me that they're plain out bluffing. Seems to me that if Dad shows up at their business office or field office w/ ID, a copy of the divorce decree and an officer of the law, they'd be legally compelled to go get the boy and place him back into his father's physical custody. The only trick they could really pull would be to coerce him into stating that he doesn't want to go w/ him.
If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

Deborah:
What action can be taken against the judge? Never heard of it, but could one request a different one? Who would one file a complaint with?
The fact that the mother's 3rd ex fraudulently signing as legal guardian, and placed the kid inspite of the evaluation, and the excessive restrictions on communication with dad and refusal to provide the child's records, should be red flags for any family judge.
Doesn't sound to me like she is upholding her duties as a judge, and clearly is not acting in the child's best interest.
