This judge does not care about anything. He has effectively aloud the children's mother in my case to do what ever she wants. She was proven to have lied to the judge and he does nothing. She was given specific things to do and complete by the last judge and to this day has not completed them or even started them, from 5 yes five years ago since ordered by the court. This time around she told the mediator "she would do the classes if the court wants her to this time" and judge will not even talk about it, This judge doesn't care. Been to court seven + times this year and he will never take the time to address concerns I have about the mothers stability and living situation or the proven fact she has hit our kids and he just keeps giving her more time with them. She has said many many times given the chance, she is gone to Indiana due to there custody laws and within a year I feel the children are going to be gone. HE IS CLEARLY BIAS!!!!!!!!!! Waiting in the court for my case to be heard he ruled in favor of the mothers of several cases before ours, even though there was clearly evidence against them.
