    Slam the Gavel welcomes Heather Bendl and Pete Arnold to the podcast. Heather was last on Season 5, Episode 262. Today Heather is currently juggling  active appeals in both Florida and Illinois, effectively schooling the courts on why they can't just ignore the rulebook, specifically regarding jurisdiction and the UCCJEA. She is challenging a legal nightmare where Florida is trying to enforce a Void Ab Initio Illinois order that was issued without notice and without authority. Heather is asking the higher courts to remind the lower courts that geography and Due Process definitely matter.     Heather's fiancé, Pete Arnold joins her fight as the strategist turning mountains of legal chaos into a clear roadmap for accountability. Together, they aren't just fighting Heather's battle but exposing a systemic crisis where evidence is ignored and parents are silenced. To Reach Heather and Peter:  Non-Profit Email Address: [email protected] YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@JusticefortheSerlickChildrenNon-Profit FB Page:https://www.facebook.com/JusticefortheSerlickChildren(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.
