Bowerman 1419 College Ave Visalia, CA 93277 October 3, 2012 VIA US MAIL MICHAEL GOSS 1119 Twelfth Street Modesto, CA 95354 RE: Marriage of Bowerman - Vocational Assessment - Jaye Davis Dear Mr. Goss I have a number of issues to address regarding the Vocational Assessment and with the Vocational Counselor, Jaye Davis. 1. Family Code 4331 (a) states in part The focus of the examination shall be on an assessment of the party's ability to obtain employment that would allow the party to maintain herself or himself at the marital standard of living. After 20 years of marriage as a mother and wife with no consistent nor viable work experience and a husband earning $70,000.00 per month, there is no existing employment available to meet the requirements of the family code above without a re-education effort to include undergraduate university degree and a graduate degree. Why was a Vocational Assessment required and for what possible purpose given the obvious facts of the divorce? 2. My health at the time and currently includes loss of hearing in both ears, carpal tunnel syndrome with 30% loss of mobility in both hands and wrists, my left eye is Amblyopic since childhood leaving me medically categorized as one eyed with resultant depth perception issues. (20/40 in right eye, 20/400 in left eye). I am also recovering from a hysterectomy due to cancer. Family Code 4331 (a) continues The examination
shall include an assessment of the party's ability to obtain employment based upon the party's age, health, education, marketable skills, employment history, and the current availability of employment opportunities. 3. The order for a Vocational Assessment MUST be made only on a motion for good

cause. In my case there was only a stipulation. I can nd no record of an order led with the Clerk of the Superior Court nor an associated motion. Your assistance in locating these documents would be appreciated. Further, at the time the stipulation was presented to me I was under the inuence of Hydrocodone (pain killer), Zanax (antianxiety), Valium (ant--anxiety) and Adderall (Attention Decit Disorder Medicine). All of these prescriptions were to treat symptoms related to my recent hysterectomy surgery, my outbreak of Herpes Simplex 1 and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as triggered

since the July 13th service of restraining order. As you recall, the restraining order included a 5 minutes to leave my home stipulation - resulting in a 4 1/2 month separation from my children. In addition to impaired judgment I was under considerable duress to sign the stipulation, as my Attorney at the time, Leslie Jensen threatened that the Judge would yell at me and make me cry. She also stated that Mike Goss had told her that I would most likely break down in front of the Judge. Also, Leslie threatened that I would have to pay $1500.00 (1/2 of a $3000.00 invoice for services) if I didnt sign and that the judge was going to force me to sign anyway AND that it would be considered non-compliance if I didnt sign. All the issues of duress based on the above mentioned threats I have since found to be untrue. 4. I need your ofces to supply me with verication that Jaye Davis meets the following requirements as set forth by the Family Code:
(d) "Vocational training counselor" for the purpose of this section means an individual with sufficient knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education in interviewing, administering, and interpreting tests for analysis of marketable skills, formulating career goals, planning courses of training and study, and assessing the job market, to qualify as an expert in vocational training under Section 720 of the Evidence Code. (e) A vocational training counselor shall have at least the following qualifications: (1) A master's degree in the behavioral sciences. (2) Be qualified to administer and interpret inventories for assessing career potential. (3) Demonstrated ability in interviewing clients and assessing marketable skills with understanding of age constraints, physical and mental health, previous education and experience, and time and geographic mobility constraints. (4) Knowledge of current employment conditions, job market, and wages in the indicated geographic area. (5) Knowledge of education and training programs in the area with costs and time plans for these programs.

5. I have signicant concerns with the nature and methodology that Jay Davis employed during my sessions with her. In order to accurately assess her behaviors and determine the relevance of her methodologies to vocational assessment I need your ofces to provide me with answers to the following questions: a. What is the business relationship between Goss & Goss and Jaye Davis? b. Is Jaye Davis an employee or contractor to Goss & Goss? c. Does Goss & Goss provide, review and or endorse the questions used by Jaye Davis?

d. Does Goss & Goss speak with Jaye Davis about conversations or information that is discussed during Vocational Assessments? e. As I have been told I may be nancially liable for a portion of Jaye Davis billing, can you please provide me with the work product from her efforts? f. I took several tests during the assessment, I should be entitled to the results. Has Goss & Goss been informed or viewed the results of any of the tests that were administered to me? Can you please forward me the results? g. I noticed that Jaye Davis calls me each time there is an event in the case wherein Goss & Goss seems taken off guard or unsure how to proceed - Does Goss & Goss reach out to Jaye Davis for assistance in managing the case by having her call me? h. Occasionally Jaye Davis contacts me and engages in conversations that have no relevance nor bearing on vocational assessment. In some instances I have provided her with erroneous information as her inquiries are inappropriate and create the appearance of collusion should she be sharing the information with opposing counsel, in this case, Goss & Goss. Disturbingly, there have been instances wherein Goss & Goss has acted in a manner consistent with the erroneous information I provided Jaye Davis but completely inappropriate to the situation in reality. Does Goss & Goss solicit and act on tips about me provided by Jaye Davis? 6. Your answers to the questions above are particularly important as Jaye Davis has engaged in questionable behaviors and practices as have other individuals in the Goss & Goss Network of associates I have encountered. There are a number of verbal and non-verbal methodologies and tactics used by Jaye Davis during the Assessment that are consistent with both civil and criminal infractions. I am currently evaluating my notes on the assessment sessions and gathering statements from other women who have endured these assessment sessions with Jaye Davis as part of their divorce. Each of these womens husbands had retained Goss & Goss as their divorce attorney. Until such time as I am in receipt of the documentation about Jaye Davis and the associated court documents that I have requested from your rm - and I have completed my research on the possible legal implications of her behaviors and methodologies I must request that you inform Jaye Davis not to contact me. There is abundant evidence that any contact with Jaye Davis while representing myself In Pro Per would reasonably represent a conict of interest. Best regards,
