Please see an outline of what Judge Heggie has done to three young children. He does this in spite of a clear conflict interest. Heggie used to work with one of the parties, and will not recuse himself from the case.

He gave custody to a man with violent criminal conviction and a history of alcohol abuse, child molestation and suicide attempts.

It make absolutely no sense to also then remove a mother and elementary school teacher from the picture.

I don't believe that he should remain on the bench.

Judge Heggie refuses to hear a motion to modify custody after a second suicide attempt.

Heggie creates the best reality that suites the lawyers, instead of addressing actual reality.

You have to see the latest news video on this case.

I am disappointed in our judicial system for allowing this judge to make decisions for children. After speaking to a number of other parents, it is clear to me that Heggie does not prioritize the well being of other people's kids. There have been many instances of child molestation that are ignored. Some cases of Heggie's neglect include physical abuse.

Judge Heggie confuses matters by offering some level of custody off the record if parent agrees to get a psychological evaluation. Then he makes the order without including what was discussed off the record.

I believe that this was not fair, especially considering that there are claims of child molestation and suicide involved in this case.

Judge Heggie should be more transparent. This will only increase the amount of faith that people have in his decisions.

Here is a copy of the order.

Instead of addressing his own incompetence is awarding sole custody to a suicidal pedophile, Judge Heggie has now resorted to ordering the parent trying to protect her kids to undergo a psychological eval.

Judge Robert Heggie is trying to create his own reality at the expense of innocent children.

If this judge is presiding over your case, try to transfer it to another judge.

You have to see what Judge Heggie did. He gave sole custody to man who tried to commit suicide TWICE. The man ALSO was sexually molesting the kids.

If you are in Heggie's courtroom, please be careful.

This judge granted sole custody to a man who sexually molesting his kids. Although it seems like this is a trend in our courts, there is no excuse to do something like this. The kids should always come first.
