Judge Arp is extremely bias, and does not recuse himself when necessary. He allows his opinions to be based in prejudice and on opinions of what he describes as "friends of the court", not on the evidence presented. He overlooks years of child sexual abuse and child neglect despite law and allows felony actions by his "friends" in proceedings. Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Professional Conduct are not required by Judge Arp's "friends". Advocate/Witness Rules are not only ignored but Judge Arp will require you to pay $ 8500.00 for unsanctioned unqualified forensic accounting performed by his "friends" claiming to be Forensic Experts, without title or educational background. Judge Arp will also dismiss actual Expert Witness testimony without cause. He is content with Custodial Interference again despite laws being in place to prevent these actions. Judge Arp allows his "friends" to rewrite verbal orders, which I considered fraud with intention to deceive. His mathematics in child support provides multipliers without reason and again is in favor of his "friends".

JUDGE ARP does not require decorum in his presence, allowing false alligations while under his supervision. His "friends" summon Police intervention without cause during proceedings, despite no evidence or reason and he simply does not care. Judge Arp also openly expressed that he did not care about false alligations and child abuse as his statement was made on record, and is seen as defending his "friend". ALL of my motions were denied despite evidentuary documentation, while providing what seems to aid in an advocate role to his "friends"

In closing I cannot seek appeal as the proceedings were not recorded in the full capacity in violation of THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION, while also issuing orders "in vacation" of his official capacity.

Non-Advoacate ratings ring true in this forum, as Advocates are typically special intrest and "friends" who likely work hand in hand with this Judge, and are most certainly members of the private BAR guild. Each of these findings on this forum by non attorney ring true. He will intimidat, ignore and provide prejudicial rulings despite Cannon Rules.

If you have this Judge in your case make sure you watch carefully as the "friends" and the Judge will likely go back and forth to confuse people as if they are in heated disagreement, then when the written orders come out they will be completely 180 degrees of his findings.

Good luck and God speed.

Family Court needs to put the child first and not the Judicial Retirement fund. It's all a business and people have no rights under the Federal and State CONSTITUTION within this assumed system of justice.

After years, I am bringing awareness surrounding Judge Randall Arp's ongoing bias against women and how that is perpetuating harm on our children.

For years, women have witnessed Judge Arp minimize and ignore domestic violence, shame/punish mothers as victims of domestic violence, and refuse to allow resources into families struggling. He does this verbally and through non-action/action e.g. ignoring evidence, overly criticizing mothers over meaningless issues, and carefully appointing the Family Investigators (CFIs and PREs) that do the same.

He uses every opportunity to make derogatory comments on court record about only the Mother without any reference to factual findings, while ignoring important evidence against fathers. He has been known to even punish/criticize mothers for following his orders (if he later didn't like the result of the order). When challenged, he will become angry and demand his top priority is the best interest of the children, while informing you the law gives him judicial discretion. (in other words a subtle warning that "you'll lose on an appeal"). However, he has been overturned recently on appeal.

Jefferson county specifically seems to be a hot spot of complaints such as these; however, I am concerned by recent articles from the Gazette (by Chris Osher) the entire system in Colorado is very tilted towards men.

Please email me so we can speak further. While I hope you are doing well, it's important I understand how Judge Arp's decisions have had an ongoing harmful impact to you and your family.

The only way this will stop is in locking arms and standing up to say you are harming our children and we won't stand for it. If you haven't done so, make sure to request alerts on this judge above.

This judge is absolutely atrocious!
He should be ashamed of himself, but that would require not only accountability, but integrity, which he has proven numerous times to have none. His biased, unfair and arrogant rulings in family court have not only destroyed MOMS and KIDS, but left children to deal with abuse, neglect and mental health issues. I dont know how many more women have to complain before someone does something with this Judge.

Extremely bright, consistent and level headed. Great at applying law and ruling over complex cases; both civil and criminal.

less than professional. As a court Administrator, he failed miserably in directing his staff. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say less than 1.

I am a duly appointed and licensed bail bonding agent within the State of Colorado. In my professional considered opinion and belief I feel there was a serious and major error in the calculation of time in the case I represent, concerning judgment due date, calculations, and for Stay of execution, and being placed on the ‘BOARD.”

I wish to redress of grievance and to file and make a complaint AND to request or urge AUDIT of cases in Division 9 of the Jefferson County District Court. It appears gross negligence, administrative errors, incompetence, egregious and maliciously unjust loss as a result of being placed on the ‘BOARD’ unlawfully. Though on the surface it may appear trivial, none-the-less this error is significantly serious.

My major concern is and was being placed on the ‘BOARD’ unjustly and unlawfully which caused me to suffer unnecessary financial loss and harm. From the Honorable Judge R. Arp’s ruling (SEE ATTACHED) in which I was granted a 90 day stay of execution AND to be added to the original expiration date of 02/13/2022 as was already awarded pursuant to statute of 126 days. Thus 126 + 90 = making it 216 days total from the date of the failure to appear, which would mean the new date of judgment due would be 5/14/2022. I was placed on the ‘BOARD’ for a second time incorrectly, unjustly, and unlawfully on 4/29/2022 causing a 15-day error, and not to mention an egregious and gross negligent financial loss. This was an unwarranted unnecessary administrative error. It did not cost the courts any financial loss, but most certainly cost the named commercial bail bonding agent. Agent lost more than financial loss, but also credibility in the sight of public citizens and also professional agents.

Even if the error was misconstrued and the 90 days were granted from the judge’s date of ‘ORDER’ 01/10/2022, that not only would be incorrect, the end result would have ended on 4/10/2022, whilst removing 35 days already originally awarded by statute.

I was placed on the ‘BOARD’ on 4/29/2022 late Friday night as I had posted bonds early in the day and was not on the ‘BOARD.’ Thus, I could not rectify nor take care of this situation until Monday morning 05/02/2022 loosing countless requests for assistance in posting commercial bail for my many clients. There can and is no way to calculate the damage done nor the financial income lost.

In my considered professional opinion NO bondsman should ever be placed on the ‘BOARD’ over the weekend, as there is no option available to rectify the situation.

Attached is my actual court filing. I will also make the same claim and request to the State Court Administrator requesting a full audit of records and/or files consisting of specifically calculations of time.

The question remains, if these errors in calculation of time exist, and can happen to me, then how many other errors have been unlawfully manufactured?

Hon. Randall Arp asked the right questions, but came to the wrong conclusions. While he was even-tempered, I really would have liked to see more professional competence. I sensed an underlying bias with respect to gender and sex. I would not say he is impartial and independent; it was disappointing to stomach his interpretation of the law.

This judge has such a bias! I am watching him in a case between the Board of Public Health and some local schools. He is condescending, he does not control his court room, he is biased towards big firms and big names. Dr. Comstock gets special treatment, is an unreasonable witness and he does not reign her in. This judge is awful and I feel sorry for anyone who comes in front of him. I hope he retires.

Honorable Randall C. Are is more concerned about protecting a registered sex offenders rights during a custody and divorce hearing, that he can not be level headed on the best interest of the children. He seemed determined to break a mother in stand for hours, while the father takes the 5th. The rights of a man that wants to have sex with a child does not trump the fairness our justice system. He twice the law to benefit the unworthy and children now will suffer. He either hates women and mothers or solely is a supporter in what he ruled. Disgusting!

Randall C. Arp seriously needs DOMESTIC VIOLENCE training. My ex-husbands jail time and one year probation was dismissed as "It's only his first offense." Judge Arp shamed me for leaving my job to stay and help my Autistic and ADHD son. He asked me about the domestic violence I experienced, and said, "That's not scary." Judge Randall C. Arp cost me 6 more years of ongoing court battles to get my son medicated and safely back with me. He is a bully.

Judge Arp is brilliant. His rulings are outside of the box, but always, dead on fair.

Judge Arp does not care about what is best for children. He refused to hear testimony about child abuse, documented through Human Services, instead believing that he knew everything about the child abuse. He chose to give 50% custody to the abuser, seeming to think that it is better to split the children between both parents than to look at who was the more fit parent. In his courtroom, the men had more speaking time and he chastised the women. The father merely had to express the intent to parent for Judge Arp to award him 50% custody, despite the documented history of child abuse. Judge Arp forced my ex and I into mediation -- which, after the fact, I learned is illegal in this state in cases of child abuse and domestic violence.
