Civil Action No. 92-CI-00444
An order from the Hopkins County, KY court dated and entered on
July 30, 2002, was received in Massachusettsby facsimile on August 21,
2002.
In a brief summary, Judge Charles Boteler, Jr. overruled
Scientologist Laura Vannoy Padgett's exceptions and objections
to Commissioner Susan McClure's April 12, 2002 Report and
Recommendations addressing child support amounts and alleged
arrears which was merged with a criminal action filed against
Tom Padgett by the Vannoy family in 1998 back by the L. Ron
Hubbard invented sect's "Fair Game" Policy.
What this ruling means is that Tom was thousands (and 1000's) of
dollars "overpaid" and is owed a refund to the tune
of $15 - 17,000. Boteler had no where to go with this. Tom
Padgett's income plummeted from a six (6) figure income as a
once sucessful hotel executive in the early 1990s to a current
four (4) figure income from the effects of a composite of
"dead agent" and Black PR campaigns.
Commissioner McClure was scraping the bottom of the barrel for
income sources for support calculations whereby she even
included as "income" oddly Tom Padgett's recent
demanded refunds from the cult, and as well as a $5000
scholarship (donation) for him to go to Wellspring Retreat in
Ohio, a place for recovery from the abuses of cults.
In this same Order, Boteler refused to touch the Vannoy families'
request to hault visitation between 17 year old Beau Padgett and his
father Tom, which Comm. McClure reinstated just this past spring.
Boteler noted at the end, "This is a final and appealable
order." Though Tom and his lawyers disagree with many of
the issues, they will not appeal simply to bring conclusion
to the devious cult litigation which in the end is harmful
to the children involved. Laura Padgett, the Vannoys, and
their lawyers, may or may not appeal to preserve the sect's
disconnection, Fair Game, and destruction by litigation
beliefs. They have 30 days to do so.
There is no change in Criminal Action No.98-CR-098 filed by the
pro-Scientology Vannoy clan against Tom Padgett. There is still an
arrest warrant issued for him with a $5000 bail bond originating from
Madisonville, KY. The Padgett cases will tragically go down in
history as a worse-case scenario of DIANETIC'S dismal results in
family related problem solving. For more details visit
