Father files lawsuit against judge over 8,000-page custody battle in Spain

8,000 pages: 12 trials and a lawsuit against the judge

8,000 pages of court records. More than 12 proceedings, three appeals, and, according to his own account, hundreds of thousands of euros spent on lawyers. A separated father describes the incivil complaint he has filed against the presiding magistrate, whom he accuses of prevarication for refusing to change custody of his two daughters despite alleged abusa. The charge is unresolved; it remains, for now, one party's position.

The story was published, withdrawn without warning, and republished, illustrating the interest in a case he claims represents how family justice operates in Spain.

A nuclear sector engineer against a 40-day work history

The complainant presents an unusual profile: a senior engineer, patent holder, and business owner who worked in over 22 countries. His ex-partner, he claims, has a 40-day work history over 43 years, spent over 15 years in university without graduating, and admits insolvency. The split trinc years of lies.

This is not a simple couple's dispute but an 8,000-page litigation with 11 parallel proceedings.

The prevarication charge and shifting legal terrain

The core of the case is the complaint against the judge, alleging actions contrary to law and ideological bias expressed on social media. Prevarication is a narrow crime requiring manifestly unjust rulings. Filing a complaint is easy; seeing it succeed is another matter.

The account lists dozens of resources—recusals, denunciations, complaints against the judge and a psychologist—against a mother who declares herself insolvent. Without final convictions, these are accusations, not verdicts.

Parental alienation syndrome: between clinical practice and dismissal

The father claims his daughters are manipulated against him, citing parental alienation syndrome (PAS). However, a report from a Family Meeting Point he cites concludes PAS «lacks scientific basis», leading to requests to withdraw visitation rights.

This matters greatly: when PAS expert testimony is dismissed, the parent loses a formal tool to prove induced rejection. The battle is then fought without reference expert evidence.

Twelve years: the threshold that changes everything

Children over 12 are heard by judges; over 15, they theoretically decide where to live. Several fathers note that alienation becomes difficult to reverse at this age.

The author provides a recording where a five-year-old daughter says she will tell the judge at 12 not to see him. When asked what a judge does, she says she doesn't know, having been told by her mother. This single testimony illustrates the core accusation: conflict transferred to children.

What other parents with the same problem find lacking

Comments reveal key lessons: favorable laws are not enough. One participant compares it to «playing football with three fewer players, a goalkeeper with tied arms, and the referee as the opposing team's best friend». Neither the prosecutor nor the judge is the father's ally.

Others warn that airing the case before resolution can be harmful, turning the battle into irretrievable exhaustion. Others cite raw data: «I have seen my son 12 of the last 13 weekends», far below the court-ordered schedule.

Between allegations of institutional bias and the realization that litigation cannot recover lost years, a question remains: how many such cases are extinguished before reaching a court due to sheer exhaustion?
