Catherine Kassenoff confirmed dead
Her federal attorney has confirmed her death.
Catherine Kassenoff did indeed die in Switzerland on May 27, 2023.
The US State Department confirmed her death recently.
Her attorney in a federal lawsuit confirmed it to the court.
Prior to the confirmation, her ex-husband’s friend did suggest that she may still be alive.
I’ll give you some points to consider on Catherine Kassenoff and whether she is dead or not.
Proof of death is a body or ashes that can be tested. Not a piece of paper.
Where is the body or the ashes from a Swiss facility that charges over $9000 to kill you?
…
And how come Catherine’s family hasn’t said a word? Why haven’t her mother and her brothers declared her dead and condemned Allan Kassenoff like everyone else?
I will tell you why they are silent – they realized she was mentally ill and stopped talking to her long ago.
What happens to the three children now that she’s dead? MS Magazine took up this very question.
She wrote this last letter over Memorial Day weekend, and Ms. has confirmed her death through multiple official sources. In it, she said the New York family court system allowed her husband, who their daughters accused of physical abuse against one of them, to weaponize the legal system—taking away her home, job, daughters and ultimately her health. This smart, tenacious attorney’s story has gone viral on social media, where many have asked: What will happen to Catherine Kassenoff’s three daughters now?
It’s actually quite simple. Their father Allan Kassenoff, who resigned from the law firm Greenberg Traurig after a wave of protest against him following Catherine’s death, has custody. And, unless something major happens like an investigation into his fitness as a parent, it will remain that way.
“The reality is in Catherine’s absence there is nothing to really address when it comes to custody,” her attorney Evan Wiederkehr said. “The divorce was not finalized so as far as the law is concerned, it never happened.”
Yes, there is such a thing as grandparents’ rights in New York state but Wiederkehr is unclear if Catherine’s family will pursue that legally.
Allan has insisted the three are happy and healthy.
At every stage of this four-year custody dispute, the court system has acted responsibly and thoroughly. Following a neutral forensic evaluator’s assessment, the court ordered an immediate order granting their father sole legal and physical custody. The court also issued an urgent order of protection against Ms. Kassenoff eliminating unsupervised interactions with the children based on what they observed when they were with their mother … While it is always difficult limiting a parent’s access to their children, given the circumstances of this case, it was found to be in the best interest of the children to take these steps urgently. The children have been in our client’s care for 3 ½ years and they are safe and healthy.”
The videos Catherine released say otherwise.
Though, as I noted, Catherine had also been caught on video acting badly.
The story has shined a light on the family court system, with the consensus being that it’s broken.
The statistics on cases like this mom's, as well as people like Catherine Kassenoff's, are infuriatingly grim. Family courts reject 81% of child sexual abuse allegations brought by mothers and 79% of child physical abuse allegations.
Alleging abuse by a father is a shockingly common way for a mom to lose custody altogether — especially if the father counter-accuses the mother of "parental alienation." As domestic violence and family court expert Barry Goldstein puts it, abusers often "need only deny their partners’ reports and allow the court to use the flawed practices that tilt decisions against protecting children" in order to win these cases.
On Reddit, several people had personal experience to bear out the ways our shockingly inept family court systems so often make the exact wrong decisions when it comes to protecting kids.
After a Redditor urged this mom to file police reports and petition for emergency custody, other parents quickly came forward to explain how easily those moves could backfire — including a parent who did precisely that after her ex kidnapped her child and was nearly arrested for doing so.
Catherine is not the first person to die, while blaming the family court system. My first exposure came with Chris Mackney, who killed himself a few days after the last time he emailed me on December 29, 2013.
Will this be the galvanizing moment? We shall see.
All of this is utterly sad. All deaths caused by the Family Court Mafia and its "Unethical" Actors is horrifically sad. To me it is holocaustic. When an 18 yr is finally released from abusive father, only because of being 18, you then see what the 2 years of forced "90 day" ad infinitum isolation by Rand Rand's Building Family Bridges Actors has psychologically done to that person. Eating disorders, nightmares, 2 years of vacant maturity, 2 years of fighting to just stay sane, vomiting at any moment at the thought of having to deal with the father, eating disorder, etc. The psychological damage has been done and it will now take time for some of that to go away. This is most likely what Catherine's 3 children will have some of psychologically. Children's Lives Matter. It's very simple and common sensical. The flow of $$$$ to these unethical destroyers of children's lives must stop.
RIP Catherine Kassenoff, you will not be forgotten.
