Sarah Hornbeck has filed a Motion to Dismiss in the federal case Reichert v. Hornbeck after a deposition where she faltered under questioning regarding the evidence for her criminal charges against ex-husband Jeff Reichert.

In the family court system, the case of Reichert v. Hornbeck exemplifies a troubling trend where protective orders are misused, and parental rights are disregarded. This systemic abuse leads to unjust outcomes for fit parents and negatively impacts children. Reform is urgently needed to restore due process and constitutional protections.

Jeff Reichert has no criminal conviction, no sustained finding of harm, and no credible evidence of abuse—yet he’s been violently arrested, silenced in court, and cut off from his son for nearly four years. Meanwhile, the real abusers—backed by money, influence, and judicial indifference—have faced no consequences. This is not a custody battle. This is legal child trafficking, carried out under the gavel of Maryland’s broken family court system. If it can happen to Jeff, it can happen to any parent.
