Rael Lapenta, Discusses Custodial Interference And How A Parent Can Speak To LawEnforcement Regarding Custodial Interference Laws

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Rael Lapenta, to the podcast. She resides in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Rael graduated from St Joseph’s University with a duel certificate in education and special education w/ a reading specialty. 
    Teaching special education for years, before training in Texas to be a certified, Real became an (RD)  Relationship Development Intervention consultant. This eventually lead to opening her own practice in NJ: Behavioral & Sensory Solutions. She does see clients and supports their families to manage and treat behavioral concerns, most specifically with sensory processing  interventions. 
    Rael has 3 children. She was the perfect mom helping out on the PTA, coaching softball & baseball for my children’s teams, volunteering at their school, working book fairs, etc. She was lucky to be able to work on the weekends so she was a stay at home mom. Her daily life was all devoted to her children and she loved every minute of it.    
     However, in 2019, she moved out of her exes home and bought a home about half-a-mile away. 
    Since then, she has been dealing with custody issues. With approximately 35 petitions filed since May of 2020. Also, her daughter and son have been WITHHELD from their MOTHER several occasions for a variety of time periods, a holiday, an overnight, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and the longest was almost a year. Her family has been involved in Family Court for almost 8 years. 
      In January 2022 Rael realized what was going on. Since then, she did EVERYTHING she could to learn about PARENTAL ALIENATION. 
     Rael goes to virtual support groups and has been involved in other valuable self care. Part of her self care is HELPING OTHERS. She luckily got connected with Dr. Petra Deeter & Claudia Ovalles. They have been legislating in several states and we are helping other parents know and advocate for their rights regarding Custodial Interference. Rael also is working with a group of parents in her state, along with several other states to have Custodial Interference laws amended to be clearly defined, amend concerning issues in Kayden’s Law, file new legislation for Custodial Interference and getting the current law ENFORCED.
     We discussed Custodial Interference and how to advocate for your rights and how to legislate. Rael also discussed how to approach law enforcement and what steps to take when nothing is done.
     Generally, Rael explains that there is hope, don’t give up and DEFINITELY don’t accept “no” or the many other hopeless responses MOST professionals give as the ‘answer.’
