Settlement Compliance Hypocrisy

Attar v. Moukdad - Jane Pearl, Parent Coordinator

Settlement Compliance Hypocrisy Double Standard

Demands compliance from Mr. Moukdad while violating same provisions

Ms. Attar holds Mr. Moukdad to strict settlement compliance while she commits the same violations — often within days.

Pattern Summary

Hypocrisy Pattern: Ms. Attar demands settlement compliance from Mr. Moukdad, then violates the same provisions herself. This creates a double standard where:

📊 THE DOUBLE STANDARD (Quick Reference)

Area What Rima Demands from Sam What Rima Actually Does
Pickup Times Complains about his "10 min" delays, threatens violations 20-minute delay (Nov 26), then complains same day + calls her delays "trivial"
Sick Child Access Expects immediate updates, FaceTime access when she's concerned "Stop calling I'm driving and I'm busy" (Nov 24) + 7-hour silence + rejected 4 calls
Medical Decisions Demands joint decision-making, settlement compliance "When she's with me, I can" (Nov 24 recording) - 19+ unilateral medical visits
FaceTime "I don't get FaceTime when I'm entitled to it" (Nov 25) Rejected Sam's FaceTime calls Nov 24 (sick child), delayed Nov 8-11 pattern
Birthday Cooperation Demands Sam cooperate on joint celebrations Refused joint birthday (Sept 2025), weaponized TOP despite being together at school 24 hours earlier
Settlement Compliance "You barely follow it" (Nov 25) 5 verified violations in 4 days (Nov 23-26): medical info, FaceTime, good faith, PC process, unilateral decisions
Dalal Communication "You said not to talk to your mom" when Dalal coordinates pickups Talks to Dalal when convenient (Nov 28 - Isabella's leg), ignores Dalal when inconvenient (Nov 26 - pickup coordination), expects Dalal to respond about fevers

Rules apply to Sam. Excuses apply to Rima.

Why This Matters: Settlement requires MUTUAL good faith compliance. When one parent demands the other follow rules while exempting themselves, the settlement becomes unenforceable and cooperation collapses.

Most Blatant Example (Nov 26, 2025):

Nov 26 Hypocrisy Timeline:

  • 2:00 PM stipulated pickup time — Mr. Moukdad's mother arrives
  • 2:20 PM — Isabella brought down (20 minutes late)
  • 2:51 PM — Ms. Attar complains: "Again you take 10 min to bring her outside when I go pick her up"
  • Pattern: Ms. Attar delayed 20 minutes, then complained about Mr. Moukdad's delays SAME DAY

Communication Hypocrisy: "Stop Calling" When He Checks In (Nov 2025)

Most Egregious Example: When Isabella was sick (Nov 24, 2025), Ms. Attar told Mr. Moukdad "Please stop calling I'm driving and I'm busy" when he tried to check on their daughter. This is the SAME Ms. Attar who persistently inquires about Isabella when Mr. Moukdad has her, expecting immediate updates and responses.

The Double Standard

When Mr. Moukdad Has Isabella When Ms. Attar Has Isabella
Ms. Attar's behavior: Persistent inquiries, expects updates Ms. Attar's behavior: "Stop calling", "I'm busy", call rejection
"Hi how's Isabella doing?" (Sept 17, 2025) "Please stop calling I'm driving and I'm busy" (Nov 24, 2025)
"How is she now? Can I say goodnight to her in the phone?" (Oct 1, 2025) "That is simply not true. I am not engaging in this conversation" (Nov 24, 2025)
"Hi did Isabella go to school today?" (Nov 3, 2025) No update from 10:43 AM to 5:34 PM when Isabella sick (7-hour silence, Nov 24, 2025)
Hundreds of FaceTime requests: "FaceTime at 5:30?" "FaceTime?" "Can we do FaceTime?" FaceTime calls REJECTED when Mr. Moukdad requests during illness (Nov 24, 2025)
Expected standard: Immediate responses, proactive updates Applied standard: "I give the same courtesy I receive" (retaliatory)

Nov 24, 2025 Sick Child Incident (Timeline)

Isabella had 102.6°F fever - Mr. Moukdad's attempts to check on her were REJECTED:

  • 10:43 AM: Last update from Ms. Attar about Isabella's condition
  • 5:15 PM: Mr. Moukdad sends OFW message: "Can I facetime Isabella and also check up on her. Thanx."
  • 5:34 PM: Mr. Moukdad calls - call REJECTED
  • 5:34 PM: Mr. Moukdad calls again - call REJECTED
  • 5:35 PM: Mr. Moukdad sends OFW: "I am trying to facetime Isabella who you have not adequately kept me up to date on her condition. it is now 5:34 pm and I have not heard from you since 10:43 am"
  • 5:43 PM: Ms. Attar responds: "That is simply not true. I am not engaging in this conversation"
  • 7:21 PM: Ms. Attar calls FROM urgent care parking lot (unilateral decision made before calling)
  • 7:22 PM: Mr. Moukdad calls back to discuss medical decision
  • 7:44 PM: Mr. Moukdad calls again about sick child - Ms. Attar responds: "Please stop calling I'm driving and I'm busy"
  • 7:48 PM: Mr. Moukdad calls again offering to pay half - call REJECTED (voicemail)

Total silence from Ms. Attar about sick Isabella: 7 hours (10:43 AM to 5:34 PM)

Total calls rejected when Mr. Moukdad tried to check in: 4 calls

Ms. Attar's message count during sick child crisis: "Stop calling"

The Explicit Admission: "I Give the Same Courtesy I Receive"

Date: November 24, 2025, 5:43 PM

Context: After Mr. Moukdad complained about 7-hour silence during Isabella's illness

Ms. Attar's response (OFW):

"I notified you yesterday. Additionally, I give the same courtesy I receive."

Legal Analysis:

  • Explicit tit-for-tat policy: Information sharing based on perceived reciprocity, not child's needs
  • Retaliatory communication: Withholds updates as punishment for Mr. Moukdad's perceived failures
  • SETTLEMENT VIOLATION: Art. XI, §F, p.17 requires good faith cooperation regardless of other parent's conduct
  • Child-centered standard ignored: Isabella's medical needs subordinated to parental power struggle

Mr. Moukdad's Direct Challenge to Double Standard

Nov 24, 2025 7:48 PM OFW message:

"So when Isabella is sick and she is in my care you want me to tell you to please stop calling me?"

This question exposes the hypocrisy directly:

Impact on Isabella:

The Core Hypocrisy:

Ms. Attar expects Mr. Moukdad to:

  • Answer her inquiries immediately when he has Isabella
  • Provide proactive updates on Isabella's wellbeing
  • Facilitate FaceTime calls on demand
  • Never tell her to "stop calling" or "I'm busy"

But when SHE has Isabella, Ms. Attar:

  • Rejects Mr. Moukdad's calls (4 calls rejected Nov 24)
  • Withholds updates for 7+ hours during illness
  • Tells him "stop calling I'm busy" during medical situation
  • Explicitly admits retaliatory policy: "I give the same courtesy I receive"

This is not co-parenting. This is tit-for-tat punishment using a sick child as leverage.

Source: Verified from case records (Nov 24, 2025 OFW messages: Sam's "checking up" message at 5:15 PM, 7-hour silence complaint, "stop calling" message, "I give the same courtesy I receive" admission, Sam's direct challenge), plus 20+ historical inquiries Sept-Nov 2025.

Dalal Communication Hypocrisy: "You Said Not to Talk to Your Mom" (Nov 2025)

The Selective Enforcement: Ms. Attar talks to Mr. Moukdad's mother (Dalal) when it suits her needs (informing about Isabella's condition), but ignores Dalal's messages when they require action (pickup coordination). When confronted, Ms. Attar weaponizes Mr. Moukdad's own words: "you very clearly stated that your mother is not going to communicate with me."

The Timeline

Act 1: Ms. Attar Talks to Dalal When Convenient (Nov 28, 2025)

Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov 28):

  • 10:00 AM: Stipulated pickup time (Dalal picks up Isabella from Rima)
  • 10:10 AM: Rima brings Isabella down (10 minutes late)
  • During exchange: Rima talks to Dalal about Isabella's leg hurting

Takeaway: When Rima wants to inform Dalal about Isabella's condition, communication happens. No mention of "you said not to talk to your mom."

Act 2: Ms. Attar Ignores Dalal's Messages (Nov 26, 2025 - 3 Days Earlier)

Wednesday before Thanksgiving (Nov 26):

  • 1:50 PM: Dalal sends WhatsApp message to Rima (10 minutes BEFORE stipulated 2:00 PM pickup)
  • 1:50 PM - 2:14 PM: Rima does not respond to Dalal's message
  • 2:14 PM: Mr. Moukdad sends OFW message (only because Dalal's WhatsApp was ignored)
  • 2:20 PM: Isabella finally brought down (20 minutes late)

Takeaway: When Dalal's message requires Rima to take action (bring Isabella down), message is ignored. Mr. Moukdad must intervene on OFW.

Act 3: Ms. Attar Weaponizes "You Said Not to Talk to Your Mom" (Nov 26, 2025)

2:51 PM email from Ms. Attar (31 minutes after late pickup):

"Samir, I did not see your mother's messages. Also, during a prior joint session, you very clearly stated that your mother is not going to communicate with me when I asked why she didn't respond to me about Isabella's health when she had high fevers. You very clearly stated that communication is between you and I. You cannot pick and choose when communication between your mother and I occur. Your mother cannot pick and choose."

Analysis of Ms. Attar's Claims:

  • "I did not see your mother's messages": Convenient excuse - Dalal sent WhatsApp at 1:50 PM (standard coordination channel)
  • "You very clearly stated...": Uses Mr. Moukdad's own words from PC session as justification
  • "You cannot pick and choose": Accuses Mr. Moukdad/Dalal of selective communication
  • Missing context: No mention of her OWN selective enforcement (talks to Dalal about Isabella's health but ignores pickup coordination)

The Double Standard Exposed

When Ms. Attar Wants to Communicate When Dalal Wants to Communicate
Nov 28, 10:10 AM: Talks to Dalal about Isabella's leg hurting Nov 26, 1:50 PM: Ignores Dalal's WhatsApp about pickup coordination
Prior incidents (per Rima's email): Expected Dalal to respond about Isabella's fevers Nov 26, 2:51 PM: "I did not see your mother's messages"
Standard: Communication happens when it serves Ms. Attar's needs Standard: "You said not to talk to your mom" when it requires Ms. Attar to act
Medical information flow: Expects Dalal to receive/respond to health updates Logistics coordination: Ignores Dalal's messages, claims she "didn't see" them

The Projection: "You Cannot Pick and Choose"

Ms. Attar accuses Mr. Moukdad/Dalal of "picking and choosing" when to communicate, but:

Who is actually picking and choosing?

  • ✅ Ms. Attar communicates with Dalal: When informing about Isabella's leg (Nov 29)
  • ✅ Ms. Attar expects communication from Dalal: About Isabella's health/fevers (per Nov 26 email)
  • ❌ Ms. Attar ignores Dalal: When Dalal coordinates pickup logistics (Nov 26, 1:50 PM WhatsApp)
  • ❌ Ms. Attar weaponizes "no communication" rule: Only when Dalal's message requires action from Ms. Attar

Ms. Attar picks and chooses when the "no Dalal communication" rule applies. She invokes it only when convenient.

PC Session Reference - Verification Attempt

Ms. Attar's Nov 26, 2:51 PM Email Claims:

"During a prior joint session, you very clearly stated that your mother is not going to communicate with me when I asked why she didn't respond to me about Isabella's health when she had high fevers."

Transcript Review (Aug 22 & Oct 17, 2025 PC Sessions):

  • Aug 22, 2025: Mr. Moukdad stated "my mom can't go against me when it comes to the stipulation" (context: settlement compliance, not health communication)
  • Oct 17, 2025: No discussion found regarding Dalal communication restrictions or fevers
  • Neither transcript contains a fever/health discussion or the quoted statement Ms. Attar claims

Analysis:

Either Ms. Attar is referencing a conversation not captured in available transcripts, OR she is mischaracterizing what was said. Regardless, her Nov 26-29 actions demonstrate selective enforcement (talks to Dalal when convenient, ignores when inconvenient).

The Pattern Stands on Actions, Not Disputed Quotes:

  • Nov 28: Ms. Attar talks to Dalal about Isabella's leg (health communication allowed)
  • Nov 26: Ms. Attar ignores Dalal's WhatsApp (logistics communication blocked)
  • Per Ms. Attar's email: Expected Dalal to respond about fevers (health communication required)
  • When confronted: "You very clearly stated that your mother is not going to communicate with me" (selective enforcement)

Bottom line: Ms. Attar wants Dalal available for health updates but unavailable for pickup coordination. The "no communication" rule applies only when Dalal's message requires Ms. Attar to take action.

Why This Matters

Pattern of Selective Enforcement:

Impact on Co-Parenting:

Impact on Dalal (Extended Family):

The Core Hypocrisy

Ms. Attar's position on Dalal communication:

  • When Ms. Attar wants to talk to Dalal: Communication happens (Nov 29 - Isabella's leg)
  • When Ms. Attar expects response from Dalal: Dalal should respond (fever inquiry)
  • When Dalal initiates coordination: "I did not see your mother's messages" (Nov 26 - WhatsApp ignored)
  • When confronted: "You very clearly stated that your mother is not going to communicate with me"

Translation: Dalal communication is allowed when it serves Ms. Attar's needs, forbidden when it requires Ms. Attar to act.

Source: Verified from master_log.jsonl entry 20251128_1000_dalal_pickup (Nov 28 pickup + Dalal communication about leg) + entry 20251126_1350_f046dfaf (Nov 26 Dalal WhatsApp at 1:50 PM) + entry 20251126_1451_8402b498 (Nov 26 Ms. Attar email at 2:51 PM with "you said not to talk to your mom" claim).

Proposed Solution

PC Directive: Mutual Compliance Standard

Issue Addressed: Double standard (Ms. Attar demands compliance while violating same provisions)

PC Directive:

"Settlement provisions apply equally to both parents. Neither parent may demand compliance from the other while exempting themselves from the same requirements.

Examples of Prohibited Double Standards:

  • Pickup times: If parent complains about other parent's delays, they must comply with same standard
  • Medical info: If parent demands "forthwith inform," they must provide proactive info themselves
  • FaceTime: If parent complains about FaceTime denial, they must facilitate other parent's FaceTime
  • Good faith: If parent demands good faith communication, they must communicate in good faith

When Hypocrisy is Identified:

  • PC will point out double standard with specific examples
  • Complaining parent must acknowledge they commit same violation
  • Both parents held to same compliance standard going forward
  • No parent may threaten retaliation ("you will get her back even later")

Consequences for Retaliatory Threats: Using parenting time as leverage ("you will get her back even later") violates settlement and will result in PC directive prohibiting such threats.

Implementation: Both parents acknowledge that settlement standards apply equally. Future complaints must be accompanied by demonstration of own compliance with same standard.
