After seven years of having zero contact with his children, $80,000 in legal fees, an appeal that remanded his case for more of the same, an order to pay $10,000 in opponent's fees on remand, and the continuation of a restraining order with no basis in fact, Steve had had enough! If the remand had simply directed all parties (parents and children) into mediation and granted him even supervised contact with his children, Steve would likely be walking the Earth today. But the system utterly failed Steve, so he ended his life in complete despair on August 30, 2004.

The State had no probable cause to keep Steve away from his kids. Indeed, the State ordered a psychological evaluation, which found in Steve's favor, then the State rejected the findings because the evaluator had not read every page of the 10-inch thick record.

E-mails between Steve and Kim Berry

E-mail from Steve wishing Kim happy Father's Day — in spite of the fact that his was not happy
E-mail from Steve wishing Kim a happy 46th birthday — in spite of his own problems
Kim's last e-mail to Steve — advising him how to oppose the Restraining Order. The Family Court imposed a restraining order anyway. Mother was seeking a 10-year RO, which would have precluded Steve from establishing contact even after his children turned 18. All the while the State forced Steve to fund that unjust litigation against him.
