Comments:
He awarded my husband all vehicles leaving me with out transportation, I was awarded literally nothing in my divorce I have zero income and had zero income my I tire 8 years married. I had zero money for a lawyer I complained numerous times to his court via email that I had no income I was left in a rental home with no utilities and rent hadn’t been paid in a year. So thanks to this judge ignoring my motions and strikes and for not believing me when I told him my husband had raped me and that I filed a complaint at the Crissis center and wasn’t supposed to be in court alone. I have multiple health and mental issues and was suffering from disassociation during court before and after due to trauma I wasn’t even givin transitional alimony and when I tried to speak to mediators the judge accepted my husbands motion to skip mediation which I filed a motion on everything I tried was ignored by this court.
