A legal breakthrough was achieved in April 2025 when I finally managed to get a Court to compel Lise-Anne to testify under oath.
Finally after 8 long years and dozens of legal cases targeting me with false allegations of violence, drugs, illegal guns, including a 2 year criminal sentence in France.
As an example of how extreme the situation was, I was sentenced to Prison by a French Judge in a secret criminal hearing arranged by Lise-Anne, where I was not even invited to my own hearing, and nor were my lawyers invited at attend. Impossible you say?… You literally cannot make this stuff up. During these 8 years, she has refused to answer a single question under oath, and has doggedly resisted me from being allowed to defend myself in court. Even the court-ordered psychological report on her and boys is still “missing” after 7 years… Only this website and community outreach has given me an outlet to expose the deceit.
And now after 8 years , the legal assault against me comes to an end with a negotiated legal ceasefire in both France and the USA. Her fear of finally having to answer some embarrassing/shameful questions under oath (otherwise being held in Contempt of Court), was the key breakthrough.
“Not the Peace of the grave, and not the security of the slave…
but a genuine peace. The Peace that makes life on earth worth living”
JFK in 1953 (15sec clip)
I wanted Peace from the beginning, but my early and numerous pleas at Peace were ignored by Lise-Anne and her father, who was the one financing the legal assaults. In this ceasefire settlement, she requested that I have “no contact” with our now adult sons. She has always wanted to silence me, to shut me up. Either in prison, death, or with a court-ordered “no contact” order. Banish Scott, and the information he might reveal.
This legal agreement demonstrates what I have said from the beginning: that Parental Alienation is about keeping embarrassing information hidden from view and the divorce dispute was never particularly about domestic violence, money or custody of the kids. Those were just tactics. The aim of her campaign was entirely about preventing the humiliating shame– which emerges when the children learn about the delusional narratives and false allegations from a parent.– #liesdestroylives.
My boys have already been alienated from me for 8 long years. It is not simply that I have not seen my children, rather they cannot even text me, or email me, or receive a gift. WTF right? …of course this situation is not legal,… but more importantly it is not natural. It is not human nature.
“The boys are not afraid to talk to me, they are afraid of what their mother will do if they talk to me”
The three boys, Brig, Soren, and Reidar—are now of adult age (18, 18, 21) and they are ready to be independent, and spread their wings. Literally, this settlement is just as absurd as it sounds when you are reading this: that 3 young adult men are granted a “no contact” order against their father whom they have not seen for 8 years, and the “no contact” order is made at the request of their mother.
You are welcome to form your own opinion about this unusual settlement, and what this peace settlement says about my own personal character. Who would be willing to agree to such a request? I chose Peace at this point rather than fairness or justice. I want Peace. I want the legal assault to end, full-stop. My family has already been obliterated. My wife will get exactly what she wants, which is to avoid the critical “under-oath testimony” and a public Amber-Heard-type shaming of her actions. Therefore I have chosen to forfeit the truth, reality and fairness for the possibility of Peace. For 8 long years I fought valiantly to protect my children. However I failed to protect them as a father, which was my job. And now, or the sake of Peace, I release myself from the responsibility to truth, reality and justice.
Overall I am enormously grateful to end the inevitable destruction that takes place in the courts and legal system. I reaffirm what I’ve said from the beginning: this was never a conventional divorce dispute over money, co-parenting, or assets. The smears against me of guns and drugs and violence were nothing more than legal weapon to prevent me from having access to the boys, and disclosing embarrassing facts. In hindsight, it is possible that I could have avoided all these smears of guns, drugs and violence if I had simply abandoned my children 8 years ago and signed a legal “no contact order”, which she has eventually gotten in the settlement. If I had signed such a settlement 8 years earlier, and abandoned my children, I could have avoided the unleashing of outrageous and damaging “smears and false allegations” and the enormous legal expenses and opportunity costs.
From a practical perspective, the smears and character assassination were an effective technique and entirely cut me out of children’s lives for 8 years,… and now with this settlement, it will be at least 11 years. Ultimately Lise-Anne did achieve her aim of silencing me, and preventing me from having any access to my children. In fact, the boys may never learn the truth that the guns, drugs and violence narrative were all an elaborate hoax to prevent them from having access to me. The police interrogations and psychological evaluations they had to endure as children were simply a hoax, an embarrassing series of events they might like to forget. The pathway for them to return to truth and reality will be difficult and require facing some uncomfortable hard facts. It will be a difficult pill to swallow, and one they may want to avoid. Worse still, they will now have to uncover the truth themselves, because my tongue as been cut and I have been publicly silenced by this settlement. I can only hope that they can learn to align themselves with Truth and Reality over time. I chose Peace over Truth.
Here is a bullet point outline of the Peace Settlement:
- All civil litigation in France & USA is dismissed with prejudice (eg. cannot be re-litigated).
- Lise-Anne has signed an affidavit formally requesting that the Criminal Charges in France against Scott be withdrawn.
- A legalized formal Divorce is endorsed in France & USA to preclude future litigation.
- A 3-year “No Contact Order” from Scott to the boys: Brig, Soren and Reidar, expires April 2028.
- A permanent “No Contact Order” between Scott and Lise-Anne
- Scott may not publish “disparaging information” about Lise-Anne
- Lise-Anne does not have to appear for a Deposition, or answer questions under oath.
- The website PutnamBoys.com may remain online, but in a limited form by removing evidenciary receipts about Lise-Anne’s behavior.
- Scott pays the University Costs for three boys. $100k each.
- Lise-Anne surrenders house in Washington State, and dismisses all alimony and financial claims for half of the family assets.
Riddle me this batman…I am paying their tuition for College/University, and yet i am not allowed to even know which University they are attending?..or what fields they are studying? It is truly an absurd Settlement Agreement.
But the agreement achieves Peace, and therefore I am grateful to have it, no matter how absurd it looks from the outside. What my family has endured over the last 8 years is truly horrific. This peace settlement is a matter of public record and is available for download through the Washington State document archive.
I believe it is a genuine peace!—“a peace that makes life on earth worth living”.
Please raise your glasses and celebrate with me. There is FINALLY PEACE! And I want thank you all: family and friends for your support over these grueling 8 years. I could not have survived without your help. So many wonderful people helped me survive this nightmare situation. Thank you.
I am forever hopeful [The Putnam Boys… Brig , Soren and Reidar] will emerge someday as stout, strong and courageous men facing reality with resoluteness. Remember, it is only me that has been silenced and may not contact the boys. You, friends, family, strangers and parental alienation supporters may may contact them now or at anytime, and offer them a helping hand. I hope you do.
The end of this story has not been written yet, and I am forever hopeful.
I love you boys, forever and ever…Papa.
