Mark Stephens has a mantra: “Soon.”

• The lies will be exposed soon.
• His book will be released soon.
• His vindication is coming soon.

But in Mark’s world, soon doesn’t mean “imminent.” It means “never.”

Everywhere you look — in his court cases, in his finances, in his personal conduct — soon collapses into silence, contempt, judgments, and lawyers walking away. And while his legal record is public, his personal narrative is deliberately hidden. He locks his posts, deletes content, and buries the very words he claims will prove the truth.

The problem for Mark? The lies were already exposed. He wasn’t the victim of them — he was the teller.

Case One: Dissolution of Marriage (Clark County #24-3-00769-06)

• Filed: May 15, 2024
• Summer 2024: Both parties required to provide financials.
  • Tori complied.
  • Mark filed an affidavit claiming he was broke and had no income — while boasting online of investing $700,000 in a house.
• March 13, 2025: His attorney withdrew.
• Since then: Silence. No new filings.

Exposed: He was caught manipulating the narrative — poor in court, wealthy online. The contradiction is the lie.

Case Two: Civil Protection Order (Clark County #24-2-07393-06)

• Filed: February 12, 2024
• 03/18/2024: Full Order for Protection entered.
• 05/30/2024: Found in contempt, with a judgment of $8,000 plus 12% interest.
• 02/20/2025: Protection order renewed.
• Since then: Silence. No new filings.

Exposed: His claim that “lies” would collapse under scrutiny? Instead, the court found him in contempt. His manipulation didn’t shield him — it cost him.

Case Three: Parenting Plan Modification (Cowlitz County #23-3-00490-08)

This was not a case Mark initiated. It began after three separate doctors and clinics contacted CPS about his abusive and neglectful behavior toward the boys. The tipping point came when Mark and Tori forced the boys to sign “the contract” — a document denying Liam’s medical diagnosis and undermining his treatment.

Melissa and I initially waited, allowing CPS to do its due diligence and ensure we weren’t the problem. When it became clear the danger was real and ongoing, we sought legal protection for the children. That’s how this modification began.

• 11/17/2023: Case Filed Temporary RO to protect the boys
• 03/26/2024: Court entered judgment and temporary parenting plan order providing NO CONTACT protection for the boys after extensive investigation by CPS and GAL.
  • Mark ordered to pay $7,500 attorney fees to Melissa.
  • Ordered to pay $1,500 GAL fees.
  • No Contact order issued to protect the boys from him.
• 07/23/2024: Found in contempt. Another $1,500 attorney fees awarded.
• 09/13/2024: His attorney withdrew.
• Since then: Silence. No new filings.

Exposed: The modification wasn’t his idea — it was forced by his own behavior. The result? A No Contact order, contempt findings, and financial penalties. His manipulation was on full display, and the court responded by cutting off his access to the very children he claims to love.

The Pattern

Mark’s pattern is clear:

• In Court: Found in contempt. Restricted. Ordered to pay. Attorneys walking away.
• Online: Posts hidden. “Truth soon.” Vague claims. “Book soon.” “See you soon”

But reality already happened. He didn’t expose lies — he was exposed as the liar. He didn’t uncover manipulation — he was caught as the manipulator.

The lies came to an end, not “soon,” but the moment the court ruled, the judgments were entered, and the orders were renewed.

---

Final Word

Mark repeats “soon” because he can’t say never. He hides posts because he can’t face the record. But the truth doesn’t live in his private rants — it lives in the docket.

And the docket is clear: the lies were already exposed, and he was the one telling them.
