They are far from alone; dozens of other attorneys, psychologists, therapeuticinterventionists, consultants, and even judges have manipulated custody cases, profitedfrom families in crisis, and evaded accountability. This investigation exposes Korsten andAlcott, and in the weeks ahead, every member of what critics call the Maricopa CountyFamily Court Cartel will be brought to light. The article investigates alleged systemic corruption within Arizona’s family court system, focusing on two key figures: Dr. Celice Korsten, a licensed psychologist, and Kristyn Alcott, founder of Family First Forensic Consultants. Both are accused of manipulating custody cases, fabricating reports, and maintaining undisclosed ties to fraudulent business operations. Key allegations include: Court-appointed professionals profiting from prolonged litigation and fabricated psychological evaluations. Protective parents being silenced, bankrupted, and stripped of custody, often placing children with alleged abusers. Korsten’s connection to Brandon Lederer, a businessman with a history of fraud, and shared ownership in companies cited for deceptive practices. Alcott’s alleged domestic violence and credential fraud, including video evidence of assault. Legislative hearings and independent journalists documenting widespread abuse, retaliation, and civil rights violations.
