Divorce and custody Judicial Temperament: She is impatient and dismissive of women wether you are the respondent or petitioner. We were lucky enough to be assigned a new judge. My ex threw a fit when she called out his behavior and enforced child support. He said on record, “I want to go back to Kirk.” Fairness & Impartiality: In my experience, watching her judge over multiple cases, she is extremely harsh with women and allows men with coercive control and domestic violence issues to get away with their behavior. Legal Knowledge: I don’t believe that she is knowledgeable in domestic violence and or coercive control which are rampant in family court. 50-50 is not in a child’s best interest when there is a documented history of domestic violence.
