Comments:
This judge blatantly stated “Children have no standing in Family Court” and “A child reporting abuse, even substantiated abuse does not necessitate a Family Court emergency” then proceeded to grant an Emergency request to have four children forcibly removed from their safe parent to be given directly over to their abuser citing “Father accused mother of Parental Alienation”. There was no evidence to support the stated claim and the father ultimately admitted he lied. Zabor still didn’t return the children and made the temporary order into a Permanent one to cover her mistake and unethical behavior. Disgusting judge and horrible person.

0 seems as if she sides with fathers. Doesn’t look at evidence and believes every parent should be with their child regardless of if the other parent is abusive

Horrible judge, a lawyer was using the “word” misrepresentation and this judge ran with ugh saying I misrepresented the court in temporary orders. Perfect excuse to give my sons father every weekend for 2 MONTHS! Now he is completely alienating me from my son. & gave us week on week off mind you a 15 month old to travel 3 hours. Disappointed in the court system and how this judge ran with irrelevant evidence from 2 YEARS. Now she put me in a financial situation.
