I sought the help of the courts and as a man with a controlling co parent and wanting structure I sought help of the courts for my child at a young age.
I felt what better ruling than a “Honorable” judge and someone we could go to as men for help for our families and to grow with our families with “Equal” rights to OUR children.
With zero evidence, allegations from a disturbed mother, and falsified child support that didn’t match my actual pay I felt beyond unsafe and not only attacked emotionally but my name slandered by just wanting to be a father…
I asked them for fairness and to fasten my process so I could move on with my life and that the standard AFI CS be accurate to my actual life and income.
All this was denied and I was treated as if I was a criminal while trying to bring stability and move on with my life from a disgusting relationship I wish to never voice ever again because the courts ESPECIALLY MONICA made me feel unheard and targeted.
As a father that would do anything for their daughter it felt like I was on trial for a serious crime. A couple false allegations UNDER OATH from a mother , a victim card and slander of my name and she bought it up like candy, easily swayed and all facts and fair trial went out of the window.
Monica is incompetent , quick to judge, and IS biased towards men. She seeks gain off control and is young in emotion as well as uneducated in sticking to actual laws of child support and giving fairness for both men and women. There is no need for you to take control of children in a case that has ZERO issues , evidence of abuse or ANY matter involving issues towards the child and make it harder on the parent while they were already struggling financially to get stability for their kids.
She just has herself how she would feel if she were positioned to pay more than she made while being taken away time of her kids.
Her practices should be investigated and her rulings are targeting towards men as well as intrusive in nature on how she states her orders.
So much she acknowledges on our case the mother lied several times in her words/ paperwork turned in yet punished the father for 100% accurate factual documents and other reports to claim the mother is lying …
Disgusting behavior and the judgement of her rulings will catch up to her.
We have gather alot of info from other men in our state with the same story on Monica and like me we will be persistent in making sure her actions and future be tangled with , such as ours have…
Countless nights and debt gained from this judge to make wild assumptions and even in front of us men ask if my daughter is safe with me.
How dare you…. How about asking the men if they feels safe with the mother around their children. If that is not the most demeaning thing to do to a father fighting for their kids and bringing the mother to court because equal rights to a kid is a joke in Arizona.
You 100% have to pay to get any type of legal rights to your kid ESPECIALLY if they are younger.
The mothers automatically get granted custodial.
If you only knew how these mothers were and what the fathers would do for their kids / have protected them from.
The very people you ask if they feel safe.
Get your orders in line and start helping our side.
You still have time to make mends with the destruction you’ve caused to almost 15 of us…. And that’s just who has reached out to our group l…
