I don't think she is that great. She allowed my daughter mother to run circles around her in court. After three years in and out of court and everything related (attorney meeting, family counselor, parenting classes, ..etc..)with firm documentation and, positive family court counselor recommendation, and more I still have not been able to visit daughter. My childs mother told me a long time ago, if I did not want her I must not want our daughter and stated she could cut me off at anytime. I did not want to be violent, irrational, or argue so I hired an attorney and petitioned the courts. Its been over three years now, broke, emotionally and financially exhausted, a slew of legal issues, worn out, post-suicidal, eventually laid off and back where I was 12 years ago before I even had a career - Ouch! What exactly does a Judge do I have to ask myself. I would taken another approach if I knew the courts where going to do virtually nothing. My daughters mother added later ... I hope you get another b!t@H pregnant and she does the same thing too yo A$$ (Ouch!). I wanted the courts to intervene before things got out of hand, and all I got was near homelessness, and despair. I just wanted the time with my daughter the court order outlined. I learned through the social study review that via my childs mother ... my daughter thinks I have not came to see or pick her up because I am in jail. Over two years and counting. I don't even know if I am coming or going anymore. But I do know not to depend on diplomacy. I understand Goerge Bush Jr. now, sometimes violence and war is necessary, it gets your point across and makes people listen. I'm too worn out, just a loving father wanting to be a important part of his daughter life. I resent seeing the article about such a great Judge. I won't say bad Judge, but definitely not great. BTW we where never married or anything just problems with visitation, parental alienation, and false allegations, not to mention me finding out about her suicide attempt did alarm me. But what can a regular guy do without a truck load of LONG money? Nothing, .... they showed me.
