Judge Minder presided over a family court matter involving a minor child. His lack of expertise in understanding domestic violence in a family court setting was very disturbing to see. There had been issues of domestic violence and alcoholism. There had been two prior orders of protection granted for the mother of the child and he declared that since there had not been any acts of domestic violence this would not be admitted nor considered in the custody issue. Judge Minder left the bench for a 5 minute recess to allow discussion between the pro per father and the mother's hired attorney. This break happened as the Judge let the mother on the stand testifying. When the Judge left the bench, the father approached the mother and flung paperwork at her, in the successful attempt to intimidation her. Allow mother's attorney told him this would be consideration a violation of the present order of protection as the Judge had excited the courtroom. When the attorney brought this matter up to Judge Minder, he dismissed it with a comment of, "let's try to be nice to each other" instead of sternly explaining that when a Judge leaves the bench, the order of protection is in place. I believe he should never return to the family court hearings until he takes several classes of domestic violence law and of victimization. I am glad to know he is not hearing cases on domestic violence custody issues.

This judge is completely incompetent. Engaging ex parte communication with opposing council and the court appointed advisor. He denied every motion I've ever filed without requesting or even waiting for response from the other party. He ignored several motions. He was aware that my 10-year-old son was exposed to extreme pornography and did nothing and he is a mandated reporter by Arizona law. he enforces only what he wants he won't even enforce his own order which is why I'm pushing for a recall election. I have friends in high places. and when I quoted case law and some of my motions he had the audacity to use my language. He even tried to threaten me in his final order about bringing inflammatory filings against my kid's mother when she's committed multiple felonies. then he lied in the order and said he canceled me against it which if you know my demeanor it would not have went well for him. He was racially gender bias. He even had me and my children's mother write an essay on co-parenting which is rare and completely unorthodox. He can't even spell weight of evidence as he ignored everything. The opposing party submitted no piece of evidence at any time. I submitted police reports sworn statements he ignored everything.
