She had her mind made up before I ever entered her court room that she was going to have me arrested for back owed child support, and I can only assume this was due to 'behind the bench pressure', applied from the opposing party's attorney, due to the fact that Abe was not so irrationally disposed against me in preceedings prior! She had many options at her disposal on Tuesday to address both parties concerns and needs without using such a punitive measure. She chose to punish me with such acrimony there were gasps in the courtroom. She entered her ruling under the ruse that she felt this was 'in the best interest' of my children, yet her actions cost me a very hard-won and lucrative internship I had just started the day before, which would have caught me up in my child support by summer's end! How she or anyone with the facts of both sides of this case in front of them, would consider her ruling 'in the best interests' of my children is the question every Arizona Father deserves an answer to! Then to learn that there is little that one in this State can do to seek redress for such financial and career damage from a malicious judge's ruling...that is the most bitter pill of all! In this economy, to cost a man his job, any job, which he'd fought for three months to obtain, under the guise of it being what is 'best' for his children...ought to be a punishable offense - no matter WHO is responsible!! This woman wearing a judges costume, actually leaned forward on the bench, narrowed her eyes and hissed at me, as I countered that I would lose my job if she jailed me, "You should have thought of that before you entered this courtroom!" With such palpable contempt of her 'subjects' as it were, evidenced by her utter disregard and disdain of REALITY, I am certain Abe's future record and rulings will bring much shame upon this State, if not law-suits!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657625581182371926.post-71351798005749983132009-11-09T12:26:33.856-07:002009-11-09T12:26:33.856-07:00I would like to see a site that is less subjective...I would like to see a site that is less subjective and more statistically oriented.

He was my judge in family court and what I do know about him is that HE BARELY LISTENED TO ANY OF THE DETAILS IN COURT,WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELFARE OF MY CHILDREN, AND MADE DEVASTATING DECISIONS THAT WILL NEGATIVELY AFFECT MY CHILDREN FOR YEARS TO COME. I understand these judges are really busy in family courts, but if they are overwhelmed and can't keep up with doing an adequate job, they should have enough chutzpah to complain that they cannot do their job well with the amount of cases they have been assigned. I would have given anything to have a jury of my peers listen and make the decision. These judges need to realize that they are making crucial decisions that can greatly affect how a child's life turns out. As far as I am concerned, the family courts need an enormous amount of improvement.

I think knowing if a judge is considered liberal or conservative is of the utmost importance. Liberal judges tend to be more likely to legislate from the bench and conservatives tend to be more likely to stick with the letter of the law and the Constitution. I would also like to see their views on issues such as abortion (pro-life vs. pro-choice). How about their views on gun control. These are all very important to most voters on either side of the political spectrum.

The Judicial...Thank you for an informative review. The Judicial Performance Review in the Publicity Pamphlet can be very misleading regarding the performance of a Judge. Very few litigants who go before a Judge, fill out the surveys they are given and return them. I'll use Presiding Family Court Judge, Colleen McNally, as an example, 189 surveys were distributed to litigants and only 15 surveys were returned. Those numbers do not accurately reflect what her true performance could be. I've been told Judge McNally is insensitive to woman's issues often being bias towards the man. She also does not fight for children's rights. Where is her integrity? I've heard several stories from prior litigants who have been before Judge McNally say that if you do anything to get on her bad side you can say good-bye to your case even if you are in the right. Please educate yourself and if you have not heard anything about a particular Judge, do not vote for the Judge at all. The courts need to be changed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657625581182371926.post-34135665492249268692008-10-27T13:16:00.000-07:002008-10-27T13:16:00.000-07:00What do all the various colors on your website mea...What do all the various colors on your website mean?
