THE MATHEWS GROUP
TRUTH, RANT & RAVE
Our case was filed on 1/6/11. On 1/7/11 a "Grandparenting Plan" was filed. The Mathews Group, specifically Joshua T. Mathews, had the office manager pull a standard visitation plan that was more for a divorced person wanting parental visitation instead of targeting what is appropriate for a grandparent and our rights to see our daughter's son on a regular basis. If it would have been tailored to fit our circumstances, Natalie Bright might have agreed to it. However, in hindsight it was clear that she wanted the money and didn't care about Owen seeing his grandparents.
On 2/2/11 Natalie Bright's attorney, Karen S. Rosenberg of Krigel & Krigel, was assigned to the case. Also, on 2/2/11 Natalie Bright's Answer to Petition to Establish Grandparents Visitation Rights was filed with the court. Naturally, she disagreed to any provisions for us to see our grandson, Owen Bright. This was February, 2011.
On June 8, 2011 (6 months after we filed) a Pre-Trial Conference was scheduled for August 18, 2011 (8 months after we filed the Petition).
During those 8 months I was bombarded with Interrogatories and Production of Documents from Natalie Bright's attorney, Karen Rosenberg. The questions that I was asked were so invasive and nasty that I was embarrassed to read them much less provide answers.
Please remember, I had kept my grandson Owen Bright for over 2 years and not one time was there any questions about my real or imagined medical condition. Not until Jennifer Morgan died and I wanted to see my grandson. Then because Natalie Bright was not a beneficiary of any funds, she had the gall to try to keep me away from Jenny's baby.
Following are some of the questions on the first set of interrogatories and not even the worst of them:
DO YOU USE OR HAVE YOU EVER USED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS DURING THE LAST 5 YEARS? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, STATE:
(A) THE APPROXIMATE DATES YOU USED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS;
(B) THE NAME OF EACH MEDICATION YOU USED;
(C) THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH YOU TOOK EACH MEDICATION; AND
(D) YOUR DAILY OR WEEKLY CONSUMPTION OF EACH MEDICATION.
My husband, Dave and I both had to answer these questions. How many people keep records of their prescriptions for 5 years? Not too many. But Dave and I had receipts going back almost 10 years. It took time to cull all of this information and then it had to be copied, by Joshua T. Mathews of The Mathews Group. Here we go with more $$$$$$.
DO YOU OR HAVE YOU EVER USED OR CONSUMED ILLEGAL DRUGS? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, STATE:
Our answer was no, but REALLY, WAS THIS A JOKE? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
PLEASE STATE WHETHER YOU HAVE EVERY BEEN TREATED FOR DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE, IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, PLEASE STE THE TYPE OF TREATMENT YOU RECEIVED, THE DATES OF THE TREATMENT, WHERE YOU RECEIVED THE TREATMENT AND THE NAME OF THE PHYSICIAN WHO AUTHORIZED AND/OR DIRECTED THE TREATMENT.
Answer was same as above.
PLEASE IDENTIFY EACH HEALTH CARE PROVIDER (INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS OR ANY OTHER PRACTITIONER OF THE HEALING ARTS) WHO HAS TREATED YOU OR WITH WHOM YOU HAVE CONSULTED SINCE FEBRUARY, 2008 AND FOR EACH PROVIDER, COMPLETE A MEDICAL RECORDS AUTHORIZATION.
We were instructed by our attorney Joshua T. Mathews to cite the HIPAA Rule and not give medical information. He told us Natalie Bright and her attorney Karen Rosenberg, were just "fishing for information".
There was nothing pertinent to give them. Jennifer Morgan and Natalie Bright knew I had a Bacterial Infection in my lungs that was not contagious. They positively knew because I had a bronchoscopy of the lungs at Overland Regional Medical Center and Jennifer Morgan was there. Natalie Bright wanted to come also and bring Owen Bright. I told her it would be better not to scare him seeing his Grandma in a hospital bed and all the doctors and nurses around. So, only Jennifer Morgan was there.
Later on down the line in this ridiculous SAGA, Natalie Bright will accuse me of exposing my grandson to a dangerous medical condition, yet he and Jennifer Morgan kept getting MRSA outbreaks because Natalie Bright worked at the Olathe Adult Detention Center where MRSA infections are rampant and she (Natalie Bright) never washed her hands.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ARRESTED? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, STATE:
(A) THE DATE OF EACH ARREST; AND
(B) THE REASON YOU WERE GIVEN FOR EACH ARREST.
Answer again was no. REALLY? Would a jailbird be interested in seeing their grandchild? Maybe, but that's not me.
ANSWERS TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS IN THIS SET OF INTERROGATORIES, WERE GIVEN NOVEMBER 3, 2011. ALMOST 11 MONTHS AFTER OUR FILING.
On August 18, 2011 the Pre-Trial Conference was held. Joshua T. Mathews of the Mathews Group was in attendance together with another short term attorney that was hired by his office (Mike Adams). WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY MATHEWS THAT WE SHOULD NOT ATTEND AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. Of course, Natalie Bright was there with her MOMMY DEAREST, Gail Fagen, and Natalie Bright's attorney, the ever venomous Karen Rosenberg.
It was decided at this meeting to have a "Mediation" with Professor Mary Kay Kisthardt. This mediation was supposed to be about our Grandparents Visitation Rights. This mediation did not take place then. Natalie Bright wanted to get the MONEY situation settled first.
I am going to start the next blog with that very subject. MEDIATION. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND A JOKE.
