Case Overview
Maynard v. Luckett
Primary Goal: Full déchéance de l'autorité parentale — complete termination of Maurice Luckett's parental authority under Article 606 C.c.Q. Secondary goals (child support until 18, 50% of $40K debt) are sought only if achievable alongside déchéance — never at the cost of the primary goal.

Legal Strategy
Six Pillars of the Case
Each pillar independently supports déchéance. Primary objective: full severance only.
Pillar 01
Conjugal Violence & Coercive Control
Financial coercion, emotional abuse, gaslighting, denial of incidents, dysregulation, yelling with Scarlett present, conditioning support on silence. Support reduced from nearly $2,700/month to $700/month while earning $5,700/month.
Article 606 C.c.Q. (2022) explicitly names conjugal violence as grounds for déchéance.
Pillar 02
Physical Safety — Scarlett Directly
December 4, 2024: knocked Scarlett (18 months) toward a wall during anger — blamed her. Voice note available. Drove Scarlett in dangerous car with failing brakes he was informed of, minimized, and refused to help fix.
Physical endangerment of child and financial abandonment creating safety risk are central to best interest analysis.
Pillar 03
Documented Incapacity
100% VA disability — severe PTSD, treatment-resistant. Therapy attendance unchanged rating — confirms chronicity. Self-disclosed: cannot hug, lift, or comfort Scarlett. Hyperarousal, hypervigilance, distorted reality perception. Detached retina — cannot drive. Multiple suicide incidents. Published self-harm account (Substack 2020). Self-disclosed NPD by US military.
Federal incapacity he cannot contradict without losing disability income.
Pillar 04
Abandonment — Gladly
Left nine days after Scarlett's 2nd birthday. Absent nearly one year. Minimal genuine interest in contact until legal proceedings began. Publicly glorified abandoning his previous life on Instagram Live: lighter, shotgun sound, "watch it burn," evil laugh, "I'm a happy psychopath." Celebrated, not reluctant.
Abandonment + public glorification. No reasonable path to stable future caregiving role.
Pillar 05
Financial Abandonment
Reduced support nearly 75% from ~$2,700 to $700/month while earning $5,700/month. Directed family to food bank. Conditioned support on silence (Dec 30 — written). Left family facing eviction. Fiona drove Uber Eats with Scarlett to afford food. Dangerous car brakes couldn't be fixed due to his support reduction.
Financial coercion explicitly named as conjugal violence in Article 606 (2022).
Pillar 06
Best Interest of Scarlett
His disability makes independent caregiving demonstrably unsafe — his own admission. Forced contact perpetuates harm to primary caregiver. Growing psychological risk from documented reality distortion as she ages. Quebec courts have held a mother's ongoing trauma from forced contact is not in the child's best interest.
Both cumulative Article 606 criteria met: serious grounds AND best interest of the child.

Legal Framework
Article 606 C.c.Q. — The Law
In force June 6, 2023. The 2022-2023 amendments explicitly named conjugal violence as grounds for déchéance.
Article 606 — Civil Code of Quebec — In Force June 6, 2023
"Deprivation of parental authority may be decreed by the court, on the application of any interested person, against a father, mother or parents, one of them or a third person to whom it was granted, if serious grounds and the best interest of the child justify such a measure, particularly because of the presence of family violence, including conjugal violence, or sexual violence."
✓Serious Grounds: Conjugal violence, coercive control, physical incident involving Scarlett, financial abandonment, suicide note, self-harm history, 100% disability with self-admitted incapacity, reality distortion across multiple documented sources.
✓Best Interest of the Child: Independent caregiving demonstrably unsafe. Forced contact perpetuates harm to primary caregiver. Growing psychological risk as Scarlett ages.
✓Conjugal Violence (2022): Financial coercion and coercive control explicitly covered. The Dec 30 money-for-silence message is the clearest single example.
Child Support Alongside Déchéance
✓At least one Quebec judgment has granted total déchéance AND child support in the same ruling. Child support is the child's right — it survives termination of parental authority.
!To resolve with Bianca: She indicated pursuing déchéance may preclude child support. This conflicts with case precedent and Article 585 C.c.Q. Needs resolution before strategy finalizes.
!Fiona's position: Full severance is the primary non-negotiable goal. Child support and 50% debt contribution sought only if achievable alongside déchéance — never instead of it.
VA Disability + Therapy Attendance
✓100% VA disability = severe and not expected to substantially improve. Therapy attendance is factored into this rating — 100% exists alongside treatment, confirming treatment-resistant severity.
✓He cannot claim improved parenting capacity to a Quebec court while maintaining the disability rating that provides $5,700/month. Any claim of rehabilitation contradicts the basis of his income.

Coercive Control as Serious Grounds
"Coercive control creates fear of the partner's reactions if certain arbitrary rules are not respected. The Court is of the opinion that domestic violence which results in coercive control constitutes a serious reason justifying partial or total forfeiture of parental authority under Article 606 C.c.Q., because it has an irreparable impact on children born of a dysfunctional union."
Our case: Dec 30, 2025 money-for-silence message conditions Scarlett's basic needs on compliance with an arbitrary rule.
Mother's Ongoing Symptoms as Best Interest Factor
"The psychological symptoms the mother experienced as a result of the violence she suffered would persist as long as she was forced to maintain contact with the father due to their joint obligations toward their child."
Our case: Forced ongoing contact through joint parental obligations perpetuates harm to Fiona — directly affecting Scarlett's stability.
Sole Caregiver / Disconnected from Reality
"Maintaining the defendant's parental authority would risk perpetuating a legal structure disconnected from the family reality experienced by the child. Parental authority is not based solely on the biological link, but also on the actual and sustained exercise of the responsibilities it entails."
Our case: Fiona has been sole caregiver since birth. His disability makes future stable caregiving structurally implausible.
Total Déchéance + Child Support in Same Ruling
"GRANTS the application for deprivation of parental authority and child support; ORDERS the total deprivation of parental authority; EXEMPTS the child from her obligation of support to the defendant."
Our case: Full déchéance and child support are not mutually exclusive. Child support is the child's right — it survives termination of parental authority.
Proactive Defense
His Anticipated Claims
Click any claim to expand the context and response.
CLAIM: The legal document was coercion / blackmail▼
Context: Maurice was leaving for Texas. Fiona said she would not travel to the US without a written agreement because she genuinely feared he would prevent Scarlett from returning to Canada.
Notary Defense: Signed before a notary whose role is to confirm voluntary signing without duress. He raised no objection at signing.
His Own Words Defeat This: In the same exchange where he called it blackmail, he agreed: "Yes, I'll stop talking about breaking up."

His Own Words Defeat This: In the same exchange where he called it blackmail, he agreed: "Yes, I'll stop talking about breaking up."
CLAIM: She controlled my movements — library, working with women▼
Context: By June 2025, Fiona had documented evidence of Maurice looking at explicit content while pregnant and consistently refusing to hold emotional space for her while demonstrating capacity to do so for other women. Her concern was a direct reaction to documented trust breaches — not baseline controlling behavior.
CLAIM: She tracked my location — controlling▼
Context: Both parties agreed to mutual location sharing from early in the relationship. Her monitoring intensified during (1) discovery of explicit content while pregnant and (2) his active suicidal ideation — monitoring his safety, not his movements. Courts assess function, not just form.
CLAIM: She made me kneel — racially charged humiliation▼
Context: Occurred immediately after he called her a bitch and a slut. She asked him to acknowledge the harm.
Mutuality Defense: The day after, Maurice made the same request of Fiona — she complied. Establishes it as a mutual dynamic, not racial humiliation. He also documented a pattern of weaponizing race accusations as a control mechanism.

CLAIM: She isolated me — no friends in Canada▼
Context: Maurice chose to relocate internationally. Geographic distance is a natural consequence of his own decision. His PTSD-related social withdrawal is documented in his own words — his isolation pattern predates this relationship.
CLAIM: She wouldn't let me get therapy with a woman▼
Truth: Fiona did not object to therapy. She expressed discomfort with him processing emotional intimacy with a female therapist because he consistently refused to hold that space for her. He has attended VA therapy for years — his 100% rating is unchanged, confirming treatment-resistant severity.
CLAIM: She said she didn't want to be alive — also suicidal▼
Her Own Words Provide Context: In the documented August 2025 exchange, Fiona immediately self-contextualized: "Because when I say I don't wanna be alive anymore, I'm still committed to working through relationship dynamics via communication and forgiveness."
Categorical Difference: Fiona's statement was relational exhaustion, self-explained in the same message. Maurice's pattern: written note (Nov 2024), published self-harm account (Substack 2020), second phone threat (Oct 2025). One is a figure of speech. The other is a documented multi-year clinical pattern.

The other is a documented multi-year clinical pattern.
CLAIM: She called me names — compiled list▼
Context: Several items on his list are common expressions not widely understood as racial slurs. The remaining labels are characterizations of his behavior in reactive moments — not a sustained pattern. His list also contains the Shadow Realm statement — presented as factual reality — which is among the strongest evidence of disconnection from shared reality.
CLAIM: She took Scarlett — child abduction (8-hour trip)▼
Context: Before this trip, Maurice declared he would not hold emotional space. Fiona left location sharing active throughout. She visited her sister and returned.
The Irony: Maurice threatened to leave on four documented occasions and departed July 29, 2025 — nine days after Scarlett's birthday — publicly glorifying it. An 8-hour family visit with active location sharing is not child abduction.

Counsel Notes
For Bianca — Questions & Notes

Child Support + Déchéance — Open Question
Fiona's position: full déchéance is the primary non-negotiable goal. Child support until Scarlett turns 18 is sought only if achievable alongside déchéance. At least one Quebec case has granted both in the same ruling. Please clarify whether this is legally impossible or a practical enforcement concern given Maurice is in Texas.
VA Disability & Therapy Attendance
Maurice attends VA therapy. This does not change the argument — 100% rating exists alongside therapy, confirming treatment-resistant severity. Years of therapy with no rating change is evidence the condition is severe and not substantially improving.
NPD Diagnosis — To Pursue
Maurice self-disclosed an NPD diagnosis by the US military. Dario mentioned we may be able to formally request this through VA/military records. If confirmed, directly relevant to incapacity and best interest analysis.
Strategic Disclosure
Fiona's preference: disclose only what is legally required to opposing counsel at each stage. Please advise on what is required vs. discretionary.
Additional Concern — Unverified
There is one further matter to raise in consultation — a concern of a more serious nature regarding Maurice's behavior toward minors. Remains unverified. Should not distract from primary arguments which are independently winnable. Will detail at first meeting.

Key Emails to Counsel
To: Me Bianca Scaramuzzi — My Position Before We Proceed — File: Maynard / Luckett
Hi Bianca,
Before anything is filed or proposed to opposing counsel, I wanted to share my full position so we can align on strategy.
PRIMARY GOAL — NON-NEGOTIABLE: Full déchéance de l'autorité parentale under Article 606 C.c.Q.
SECONDARY GOALS (only if achievable alongside déchéance):
1. Child support until Scarlett turns 18
2. 50% contribution to the $40,000 shared debt ($20,000)
If I must choose between full severance and financial recovery, I will choose severance every time.
I have approximately 15 documented incidents, case precedents confirming déchéance has been granted on comparable facts, and a full evidence file to share at our first consultation.
Thank you,
Fiona Maynard
