1. In September/October of 2010 I was applying to law schools. Mr.

X and I were
planning to move out of Illinois. I was applying to law schools out of state.
2. In November 2010 I found out I was pregnant with R. Mr. X begged me to
terminate. Said he was unsure about our relationship.
3. December 2010, I move out of the rental Mr. X and I are sharing and back to the
home I owned but was selling in preparation for law school and move out of state.
4. February 2011 Mr. X begs me to get back together says he freaked out. Wanted to
be a family and make it work.
5. March/April 2011 R & I put an offer on house. Short sale so takes months for bank
to approve.
6. August 2011 R is born. I was primary care giver August 2011 through June 11,
2019 and I have never engaged in alienation tactics in any shape or form.
7. October 2011 my house finally sells.
8. November 2011- we find out our offer is accepted by the bank and we get the house.
Mr. X says we shouldn’t move into together he doesn’t feel the passion.
9. December 2011- R and I move out of the rental Mr. X and I shared.
10. December 2011 through September 2012 – Mr. X involvement with R is minimal.
Never paid child support. I never took him to court. He was invited to attend events,
holidays, family pictures, spend time, etc. Sometimes he would show up sometimes he
wouldn’t.
11. In or around July 2012 Mr. X files for 50/50 custody in Dekalb County, IL.
12. In or around July 2012 Mr. X and mediate. We come to an agreement (an agreement
that would have given him more than our joint parenting agreement). After that mediation
Mr. X calls mediator back and takes back everything we agreed to.
13. On September 23, 2012 Judge Brady of Dekalb County agreed with my position
that Mr. X doesn’t get to go from zero to one hundred and a temporary joint parenting
agreement was put in place whereby R started spending modified parenting time for a few
hours every other weekend so Mr. X could establish and show the court his desire to be a
dad.
14. From September 23, 2012 through September 23, 2013 Mr. X called in “sick” a lot.
Mr. X was very angry he had to start paying child support. Confronted me multiple times
about it. My sister, Megan Johnston, and my mother, Valerie Johnston, can verify Mr. X
calling in sick because when he did so on workdays, I had to ask them to babysit so I could
go to work. I never kept R away from Mr. X.
15. September 23, 2013 Mr. X and I enter the permanent joint parenting agreement. It
makes me residential parent. It gives Mr. X every other weekend and a few hours on
Wednesday. Mr. X continues his pattern of calling in “sick” or asking me to pick up R
early.
16. In or around early 2014 Mr. X demands another mediation. He picks out the
mediator. During mediation he wants more time, demand I give his mom parenting time
with R, and a reduction in child support even though he already paid less than the state
minimum. We attend mediation and the mediator tells Mr. X his demands are
unreasonable, and no judge would be happy he has us back in litigation just months after
he signed a joint parenting agreement.
17. A few months later Mr. X demands mediation again. This pattern continues.
Always similar issues reduction in child support (even though he paid less than state
minimum), more time (even though he didn’t use the same time), etc.
18. May 2015 R and I move to St. Charles. I purchased a house on the border of St.
Charles and Geneva because my offices moved downtown, and I needed a location along
the Metra.
19. June 2015 I am laid off.
20. October 2015 another demand for mediation. Reduction in child support.
Modification in visitation.
 21. December 2015 Mr. X takes me to court in Dekalb County IL to remove the case to
Kane County, IL because we are both now Kane County residents. The case is initially
assigned to Judge Dalton. We never appeared in front of Judge Dalton.
22. June 2015 through December 2015 applying like crazy can’t get hired anywhere.
23. January 2016, I start applying to 8 law schools – 3 in Illinois.
24. March 2016 I am accepted to a few law schools- none in Illinois. Most law students
start applying in October the year before. Thus, I missed the deadline for Northwestern I
was rejected on that basis. I was rejected by UIC. I was waitlisted to U of I. One school I
was accepted to was U of Arizona. My aunt and uncle told me I could live in their guest
house while I attended law school and they would help me supplement my portion in R’s
childcare costs if I attended U of A. School started August 16, 2016.
25. March 2016 through May 2016 I tried to work it out with Mr. X privately. He
refused to even meet with me. He had no idea what I even wanted to discuss, but still
refused to even meet.
26. May 20, 2016, I file for relocation. We were scheduled to appear in front of Dalton,
then Flood.
27. May 23, 2016 my attorney filed for substitution of judge because she told me she
felt that docket was too full, and time was of the essence.
28. June 9, 2016 Judge Grady hears the first relocation.
29. June 17, 2016 Mike Ryan is appointed as GAL.
30. June 17, 2016 Mike Ryan does what I consider a thorough investigation. He did a
home visit with R and I. He interviewed all of Mr. X’s family. He reviewed numerous
correspondence between Mr. X and I. He reviewed a parenting time plan I had put together
giving Mr. X 33 more days a year with our son verse our existing JPA.
31. August 9, 2016 a hearing commences, and Mike Ryan tells Judge Grady that he Mr.
X is not a candidate for custody, and I should be able to go to U of A law with my son.
Judge Grady grants that order. Judge Grady pulls both Mr. X and I to the bench and tells
us that once he lets R and I go we will not be coming back. He is going to make the order
temporary, but that a hearing will be scheduled on my Christmas Break so the parties’
attorneys can work out a thoughtful visitation plan. A court date was scheduled for
December 21, 2016 to make the order permanent.
32. September 22, 2016 John Chapski files his first appearance in this case. Mr. X fired
his previous attorney.
33. From September 22, 2016 through April 2018 John Chapski engages in what I opine
is textbook abusive litigation and financial abuse. He floods the docket with motion after
motion. First motion was to modify child support (you can see what is important to Mr.
X). In spite of subpoena’s directly from U of I and discovery responses from me John
Chapski materially misrepresents to the court I am a liar and I never applied to Illinois law
schools. He engages in activities to discredit me to the court such as telling the court I am
not really attending law school.
34. From September 22, 2016 through December 21, 2016 I do not appear at any of
these hearing as it is not required, and I am attending school as I was granted relocation to
do.
35. On December 21, 2016 the first time I re-appear in front of Judge Grady it is clear
that Judge Grady’s behavior and opinion of me is much different. I am so confused why
because I was following all orders to a T and doing everything, I said I would do by going
to school. Only later did I realize how John Chapski uses abusive litigation tactics to paint
a narrative not based in law or fact.
36. On December 21, 2016 in a full court room (not all related to my case), but when
Judge Grady was in chambers on another matter John Chapski stood in front of the room
and started publicly mocking me shouting out things like how’s she doing in law school
since she’s soooo smart, sooo smart. That was based on my small section law school
professor writing a letter to the court verifying that I am in fact attending law school and
classes and that John Chapski’s spurious allegation I was not was a farse. Judge Grady
was made aware John Chapski did that to me in open court and Judge Grady’s response to
John Chapski was that he did not talk to me directly. Not reprimanding him for mocking
a party opponent in open court. Dr. Hatcher was appointed Mr. X’s expert witness.
Nothing Hatcher ever did was admitted into evidence because we settled before trial. Dr.
Hatcher did do psychological testing on both Mr. X and I. That said, Dr. Hatcher admits
in his report that Mr. X has had mental health issues on and off since high school. That he
has had to be medicated for these issues. However, in his next sentence then opines its my
fault because I took Mr. X’s kid away. Funny since I didn’t meet Mr. X until he was in his
mid 30’s. Dr. Hatcher also notates I have No psychological issues.
37. Mike Ryan comes out to Arizona. Meets with Mr. X’s dad who lives in Phoenix.
Meets with my aunt and uncle. Visits R’s school (only school R had attended – he started
kindergarten here). Does a home visit with R and I.
38. In or around November 2017 Mr. X files to become residential parent.
39. On December 8, 2017 Mike Ryan tells Judge Grady Mr. X is not a candidate for
custody in part due to Mr. X’s mental health issues and his belief that Mr. X is doing this
to hurt me, it is not about R.
40. On April 26, 2018 after eighteen month of abusive litigation we finally settled. My
attorney told me that I was out of money. If I didn’t settle, she was withdrawing. The
settlement agreement and bargain for exchange was that I would remain residential parent.
I be able to finish law school. R and I would move back to Illinois 6/1/19 after I graduated.
In exchange Mr. X would withdraw any petitions and attempts to become residential
parent. Anything not outlined in that April 26, 2018 agreed order reverted back to our 2013
joint parenting agreement.
41. May 16, 2018 my attorney withdraws. I do not have an attorney file an appearance.
I never file with the court pro se.
42. On March 31, 2019 I sent Mr. X an email stating that I was going to take R for
vacation from June 1, 2019 through June 14, 2019. Per the JPA we had to give the other
parent 60 days’ notice of vacation. I informed Mr. X I was going to use that time to road
trip back to Illinois with R to make the transition back to Illinois easier for him.
43. On April 2, 2019 Mr. X wrote me back and said no he was going to take those exact
same dates for vacation parenting time. We argued about it because I knew he was just
doing it to be malicious, however, in odd years— per our JPA— if there was a disagreement
about vacation time Mr. X’s time trumped mine and mine trumped his in even years so we
finally agreed in writing that Mr. X would take vacation with R from June 1, 2019 through
June 14, 2019 and I would have dates in July.
44. On April 9, 2019 unbeknownst to me John Chapski breached that April 2018 agreed
order re-opening litigation and filing a petition to set vacation parenting time. John
Chapski alleged that he emailed me at my email haleyluttrell@gmail.com. I NEVER
received such email. Per the rules of civil procedure, you cannot simply send an out of
state, unrepresented individual an email and say they have properly served notice. That is
not how it works
45. On May 6, 2019, while I’m in the middle of law school finals, John Chapski and
Mr. X appear EX PARTE in front of Judge Grady in an unnoticed and/or improperly
noticed hearing from parenting time. John Chapski materially misrepresents to the court I
would not agree to 2019 vacation dates even though Mr. X and I agreed, in writing in April
2019. Judge Grady grants Mr. X’s order giving him the same exact vacation time as to the
dates we agreed to in April. It is upon information and belief John Chapski did this as part
of a bigger strategy – paint me out as to be a liar to the court and breaching the Agreed
Order even though I am 100% in compliance.
46. On May 8, 2019 I receive an email from John Chapski’s office at
haleyluttrell@gmail.com giving me a copy of the May 6, 2019 signed order.
47. On May 8, 2019 my attorneys files their appearance.
48. On May 10, 2019 I received notice of John Chapski filing a petition to modify
making Mr. X residential parent in violation of that April 2018 Agreed Order.
 49. On May 11, 2019 I graduate law school.
50. June 1, 2019 R and I are in Illinois and he is with Mr. X for vacation parenting time.
During the day, I “babysit” R for Mr. X because he didn’t actually take that time off of
work (more proof it was malicious). Every day I picked up R at 7:30 and kept him until
3:30 so Mr. X could work. Of note, per Mr. X’s financial statement, Mr. X makes over 6
figures and puts away $1500+ a month in retirement. That is almost 2x what he paid in
child support.
51. On June 3, 2019 I received notice of John Chapski’s filing a non-emergency petition
to temporarily modify making Mr. X residential parent with a hearing instanter call time
for June 11, 2019. John Chapski is informed my attorneys have a scheduling issue. He
never responds.
52. On June 10, 2019 I have to hire local counsel to attend the June 11, 2019 hearing. I
am assured by my attorneys nothing can happen because under US and IL law you cannot
make a change in parentage (barring an emergency) without due process and an evidentiary
hearing. That under Illinois law I have 30 days to respond. Local counsel was just there
to schedule a future evidentiary hearing.
53. On June 11, 2019 Judge Grady enters that 1 sentence temporary order in a non-
emergency, non-evidentiary hearing instanter without allowing me 30 days to respond in
violation of US & IL law and in violation of Kane County Local Rules. This order was
based solely on material misrepresentations from John Chapski I did not have my son in
Illinois on June 1, 2019 and I was breaching that April 2018 agreed order. That order has
been kept temporary denying me appeal rights. That order does not address parenting time.
It simply says R will reside with Mr. X until further order of the court.
54. On June 26, 2019 I file a motion to reconsider and a court date is scheduled for July
22, 2019.
55. On July 9, 2019 I file a motion to dismiss and to transfer venue based on the
UCCJEA Forum Non Conveniens clause.
 56. On July 22, 2019 a hearing was held on the UCCJEA Forum Non Conveniens.
Judge Grady denied it without address the 8 elements as required. He denied it on the
record stating that he did me a “favor” by allowing me to go to law school. He also refused
to hear my motion to dismiss and would schedule a future date. To-date he has not
scheduled a date and has not held one evidentiary hearing as required by law.
57. On July 22, 2019 John Chapski files to terminate child support.
58. On July 31, 2019 in violation of US/IL law and Kane county local rules in a non-
emergency, non-evidentiary hearing instanter without giving me 30 days to respond Judge
Grady terminates child support.
59. On August 1, 2019 Judge Grady write a sua sponte order to that July 22, 2019
hearing improperly attempting to address the 8 UCCJEA elements he failed to address in
that July 22, 2019 hearing.
60. On August 22, 2019 I file to remove Judge Grady for cause due to his violations of
US/IL law, Kane County local rules, and clear bias. Notice is sent to both Judge Grady
and John Chapski. That hearing is scheduled to heard by Judge Cruz on 8/27/19.
61. On August 25, 2019 I send that email.
62. On August 26, 2019 John Chapski despite notice I filed to remove Judge Grady for
cause, files an emergency order of protection, appears in front of Judge Grady Ex Parte,
and material misrepresents to the court I was refusing to return R to Mr. X and I was likely
going to run away with him. Common Sense- I lived in Tucson, Arizona on the border of
Mexico with my son for 3 years. If I was going to kidnap my son would I bring him to
Illinois in compliance with court orders to do it.
63. August 27, 2019 I was served emergency orders of protection in the security line at
the Kane County Judicial Center while John Chapski stood by laughing. My attorneys
were already in the courtroom. They had no idea I was being served. John Chapski
intentionally tried to embarrass me.
 64. On August 27, 2019 Judge Cruz continued the hearing of Judge Grady for cause
until September 3.
65. On September 3, 2019 we appeared in front of Judge Cruz. John Chapski moved
for directive verdict. Judge Cruz denied it said that he believed there was enough to move
forward with. Due to John Chapski’s typical delay tactics we started late so the hearing
was continued to September 4, 2019.
66. On September 4, 2019 before anyone spoke Judge Cruz says he “stayed late” to
review the file and changed his mind granting John Chapski’s directive verdict. Judge
Cruz admits on the record barring emergency hearing instanter is improper as a matter of
law. Judge Cruz opines he is not the appellate court for Judge Grady. Had Judge Cruz
done his due diligence he would have seen that my order has been kept temporary denying
me appeal rights. Judge Cruz says he is concerned a GAL has not been appointed to this
case. Please note at every single hearing we have asked Judge Grady to re-appoint Mike
Ryan or appoint a new GAL. Chapski objects and Grady refuses. We also ask Judge Grady
to clarify that ambiguous June 11, 2019 order and when we ask John Chapski shouts don’t
answer it’s a “trick” and Judge Grady refuses to answer. Judge Grady also refuses to follow
IL case law because of something Robert Chapski did when he and Judge Grady were
attorneys.
67. On September 4, 2019 we go back downstairs to Judge Grady. He refuses to appoint
a GAL. Schedules the Protective order hearing for September 11, 2019.
68. September 11, 2019 hearing starts. Like always John Chapski does his delay tactics.
John Chapski and Judge Grady attempt to continue the hearing even though it is still early
afternoon. Judge Grady and John Chapski informed as a matter of law he cannot do that.
Judge Grady says on the record he is going to do it anyway. Continues the hearing
unlawfully until September 30, 2019.
 69. On September 30, 2019 Judge Grady was removed from the family law bench and
re-assigned as a “floater” and/or “special assignment” judge.
70. On September 30, 2019 Judge Grady was removed from the Kane County Judicial
Center where the Kane County family court proceedings are held.
71. On September 30, 2019 Judge Grady was re-assigned to the old Geneva Courthouse
where no family court hearings had been held since 1996.
72. On September 30, 2019 Associate Judge William Parkhurst took over Judge
Grady’s family law bench.
73. On September 30, 2019 Judge Parkhurst stated, on the record, he has reviewed the
parties’ filings and was prepared to hear the parties’ case.
74. On September 30, 2019 before the proceedings commenced Judge Grady called
Judge Parkhurst and demanded the case transferred back to him.
75. On September 30, 2019 Judge Parkhurst, on the record, explained to the parties he
had to transfer the case to Judge Grady because Judge Grady was a circuit judge and Judge
Parkhurst was only an associate judge, so he had to listen to Judge Grady.
76. On September 30, 2019 Judge Grady held a hearing at the old Geneva Courthouse
finding, on the record, that he did not want to enter an order of protection, but wanted an
injunction whereby the parties could not harass each other and asked the parties’ counsel
to draft that language. He asked counsel to return October 2, 2019 to enter that injunction
language.
77. On September 30, 2019 I (and mother, Valerie Johnston), witnessed Judge Grady
and opposing counsel, John P. Chapski, engaged in EX PARTE communication outside
the old Geneva Courthouse after that September 30, 2019 hearing.
78. On October 2, 2019 Judge Grady entered an order of protection contrary to his
September 30, 2019 (on the record) ruling and in violation of 750 ILCS 60/1 et. seq.
79. It is based upon information and belief that October 2, 2019 order was based on that
September 30, 2019 EX PARTE communication I (and my mom ) witnessed between
Judge Grady and opposing counsel, John P. Chapski.
 80. At the very minimum Judge Grady engaging in EX PARTE communication with
John Chapski after that September 30, 2019 hearing and two days later entering an order
of protection contrary to his September 30, 2019 ruling (on the record) gives the appearance
of official impropriety and a violation of judicial canons.
81. On December 17, 2019 John Chapski filed to put a hold on the proceeds of the sale
of my house. I was selling my house to pay my legal fees.
82. On December 27, 2019 Judge Grady admitted, on the record, he never made a
finding of serious endangerment. As cited to you previously, Illinois law explicitly states
a parent’s parental time cannot be restricted without a finding of serious endangerment.
750 ILCS 60/1 et. seq.
83. Not only has Judge Grady never made a finding of serious endangerment, it has
never even been plead. It would be impossible as there is absolutely no truth or evidence
to support such a spurious allegation to begin with. In fact, to the contrary there are no less
than nine (9) character evidence letters from pediatrician, dentist, church members,
coaches, and parents of school friends declaring what a great relationship I have with R.
84. After the December 27, 2019 hearing I was granted some parenting time with minor
son from December 29, 2019 through January 5, 2020.
85. On December 31, 2019 my house sold. The proceeds on the sale of my house are
still be held.
86. A hearing was scheduled for March 9, 2020.
87. At that March 9, 2020 hearing and among other things my minor son’s spring break
and request for parenting time with me was to be heard.
88. On March 9, 2020 Judge Grady cancelled that March 9, 2020 hearing ordering
“court’s future date to be determined according to the availability of the court and parties.”
89. That March 9, 2020 cancellation was pre-Kane County Courts’ closures for
COVID-19 which did not occur until in or around March 20, 2020.
90. Kane County family court has been holding ZOOM hearings since in or around
March 20, 2020. No Zoom hearing was set for my case.
 91. On June 1, 2020 Kane County courtrooms reopened. To date, no court date has been
set in my case.
92. On June 25, 2020 I filed a petition for parenting time requesting a court date set. No
court date has been set.
93. On July 6, 2020 I filed a petition to enforce parenting agreement requesting a court
date. No court date has been set.
94. On July 6, 2020 John Chapski files motion to dismiss and strike my June 25, 2020
and July 6, 2020 petition.
95. On July 31, 2020 I answered opposing Chapski’s motion to dismiss and strike and
again asked for a court date to be set. To date no court date has been set.
96. Kara has had 3 hearings for what we have posted on Justice ForJames since
97. R was born August 2011 and up until June 11, 2019 I had always been child’s
primary care giver— for long periods of time sole physical and financial care giver.
98. That June 11, 2019 orders has been kept temporary denying me appeal rights.
99. I have been denied 304(a) language by both Judge Grady and Cruz denying me
appeal rights.
100. I can’t get a court date, but Kara has had a ZOOM hearing and two in-person
hearings for what she has posted on JFJ.
101. John Chapski showed up to her first July 15, 2020 in-person hearing where
Sheen is trying to say JFJ is inciting violence and harassment. The September 2, 2020
hearing, I don’t think he showed, but they settled before so by the time they appeared in
front of Cruz it was just entering agreed orders.
102. From May 2020 through August 2020, I have reported John Chapski to the
ARDC with documented evidence of his violations of law and IRPC. One report was on
August 3, 2020. On August 18, 2020 I started getting threatening and harassing tweets
about how this pseudonym “Kyle C” and his buddies are going to use the family law court
system for years and years to keep my son and I apart. That they were going to ensure I
never become a lawyer. They can’t wait until I do become a lawyer so they can report me.
Also calling me all these vile names such as “cunt”. Telling me how dumb I am. One tweet
uses the verbiage “contumaciously” which is the exact verbiage Sheen uses in one of his
motions/pleadings against her. This “KyleC” knew things about my case I never publish
such as I did not pass the bar. I did not the pass the bar because in the middle of me
supposed to be studying for it, “Johnny C” (John Chapski’s twitter handle) has me in court
stripping me of my parental rights. I sent these tweets to the ARDC with instructions on
how they can ask Twitter for the IP address. “Kyle C” did 32 tweets in total. They
magically stopped after my ARDC complaint. “Kyle C” only follows Trump and “Johnny
C” is a die-hard Trump fan. Coincidence?
103. Judge Grady still refuses to appoint a GAL or any kind of custody evaluator.
104. Judge Grady’s reviews from the robing room. I have not written a single one
of these. http://www.therobingroom.com/illinois/Judge.aspx?id=4193
