Contempt proceedings again mother; mod of custody Communication: While he explained rulings, he did not ask about DCFS involvement against father. He did not ask to speak with teenager either who was present. He blamed both parents; however, judge did not view the parenting app (mother had records of insults, harassment by ex, threats by ex, and coercive control tactics by ex). Legal Knowledge: Judge is aware of legal knowledge but needs to review entire cases to understand dynamics. He did not address litigation abuse, a no contact order on behalf of the mother for assault by ex, and did not address DCFS involvement. Fairness & Impartiality: He appear to impartial, held mother in contempt with chance to purge them, then purged the purged those charges. However, he did not ask about DCFS involvement against father which is a red flag. If he reviewed docs from DCFS (they’re on Court Connect), he would understand the case more effectively. Judicial Temperament: Thoughtful and professional. listens to litigants and asks questions; just not the right ones. Timeliness: on time
