Ayana K Young

I went with my sister to her court case, judge gave dad 50% after not being around first 9 months, she did 7% for 1 month then jumped to 50%. Baby screams everytime and cries for his mom and she also didn't care about doctors recommendations. She based Schedule around dad's job not caring about trying to make it work for mom too. Altogether she doesnt seem to care about well bring of children!

Does not read declarations AT ALL. Favors 50-50 custody no matter the past or the children’s best interest; as long as it’s written on a piece of paper as equal time if requested and does not allow first right of refusal, so long as, dads custody time is equitable, even though he’s admittedly not available. Children will go to daycare or anywhere Dad sees fit, even if Mom is readily and available as long as the paper says 50-50! She doesn’t waiver on this and she doesn’t care otherwise. She does not see past Dad wanting this division on paper for a financial purposes and not what’s in the best interest in the children

Repeatedly making assumptions on many matters that are factually backed up.

It should be criminal for someone like this to have so much power over the decision making of children. I had a video of the father drinking and driving with my children in the car and she didn't even want to address it. I tried to explain my children are in a home with a heroin addict also resides and all she said was " no drug addicts in the house" a slap on the wrist and no follow up or accountably with the father. Absolutely no concern for my children. She's rude and she rushes you. She's unprofessional and one sided. 50/50 custody with an abusive man with PROOF he is actually abusive should never be ok. If anyone has an idea on how to remove her let me know!

Ayana Young ruins lives period.

I wasn’t a party to the lawsuit or the settlement. I was a witness, there to support the truth and provide an accurate account of what actually happened. But none of that seemed to matter to Judge Ayana Young. From the moment she entered the courtroom, it was obvious she had already made up her mind. She didn’t review the declarations that had been filed and brushed over the facts as if they were irrelevant. It was deeply disappointing to watch a legal process where evidence and testimony were treated like formalities rather than the foundation of justice. The male party was clearly favored. He was given room to speak, while others were shut down or dismissed, especially those who contradicted the narrative she seemed to accept without question. It didn’t feel like justice; it felt like she was protecting an outcome she had already chosen. If a judge won’t read the documents or listen to witnesses who are just trying to tell the truth, then what kind of system are we really trusting?

Please help me! I would like to get this judge removed. She ruined my family’s life

Judge Young is hands down one of the best judges I have been before. She gives each matter sufficient time, she is thorough, and she is brilliant. She is both fair and no nonsense. She is direct and truly cares about families and attorneys.

incredibly biased in favor of men and pro severe physical punishment of children. she has no business being a family judge. she would only read one side's declaration and had made up her mind despite overwhelming evidence and therapists and minor counsel view on what's best for children. destroyed our lives and traumatized us for life.

Judge Ayanna Young needs more schooling. This Judge is terrible. Judge didn’t give me a chance to explain my case. She granted a restraining order on me. Even though Judge Marquez didn’t grant the restraining order against me. However, the Lawyer lied on me. I filed a restraining order on the person who’s been harassing me. Judge Ayanna put the restraining order on me. I had to file to end the restraining order. I got evidence showing the party who put the restraining order on me lied under oath saying I put a gun to her head. I came to the person home with an officer. I had a civil standby. I have evidence on video showing the defendant lied. Judge Young didn’t read any information about my case. I’m so lucky, I was able to obtain the transcripts. I think her court needs to be recorded and a court reporter needs to be in the court room at all time. I hope I never have to deal with her. She’s very unprofessional. Contra Costa County need a better judge to make rulings about people livelihood.

She is a terrible judge. She pushed my case from the front to the very end. Wouldn't let myself or my ex speak, said she read our declarations but clearly did not. She was very clearly in favor of my child's father. Instead of hearing our case she moved us to a long cause trial. She is rude, does not care about wellbeing of children. She is mean and has no empathy for anyone but the men. I try to explain how my son has been failing school while in the care of his father, I have begged him to get a tutor, offered to pay for it and she would not hear it. She is the worst judge my opinion and should not be working in family court. I agree with the previous comments stating she should go back to her previous job. It is hard enough dealing with "co parenting" but the stress of going to her court room is worse, she is literally the worst. I don't live in Contra Costa I live in Solano therefore I can't vote her out, please I beg you get rid of her!

She is INEXPERIENCED as a judge. When interviewing attorneys to represent me, the attorneys often asked who I had as a judge. When I said Ayanna Young, MANY OF THE ATTORNEYS CRINGED. Some of the attorneys comments were: "she's very green," she "shoots from the hip," "she's inexperienced," "she's moody and unprepared," "she doesn't read." My experience: (The bad) -She is DANGEROUS! Not even kidding. -She believes she's the ULTIMATE authority and no one has better qualifications than she does - including mental health professionals, minor's counsels, special masters, parenting coordinators, or even 730 experts. -She does not understand how to interview minor children - it should ALWAYS HAPPEN PRIVATELY AND IN CHAMBERS OR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A FAMILY COURT SERVICES PROFESSIONAL OR A PROFESSIONAL TRAINED IN INTERVIEWING CHILDREN. -She doesn't read. -She indeed "shoots from the hip." -She doesn't care about the history of your case. -She doesn't respect other professionals including mental health professionals. -She is unprepared. -She does NOT protect children from abusers. -She does not follow the law. -She abuses her "discretion" powers. (the good) -She seems to believe in 50/50

I have left her courtroom in tears every time. She is mean and has no empathy for anyone but the men. She acts like all men are good and trust me there are a lot of bad men, not to say all women are the best but she sides with the men all the time. Doesn’t care how it affects the children and their safety either. This judge is the worst in my opinion and should not be working in family court. Maybe she should go back to employment law work. She is literally making it worse for families and it’s devastating. She appears to have no remorse for her bad actions. Please don’t vote her in into this role going forward. We need better judges that aren’t biased and discriminating.

I feel she is very biased and not fair. In my opinion from observing her on several cases on many court dates, I find her to be very unprofessional, rude and always has an attitude. How is it allowed that she never has a courtroom recorder. She’s not helping families, she’s ruining lives. I wish I could have had another judge on my case.

I have attended several sessions in Judge Young's courtroom and have been blown away by how unprepared she is. She does not seem to Reed the briefs and she seems to flip flop from session to session contradicting herself. She definitely does not act in the best interest of the children. I am just an observer and not a litigant. But, I question how Judge Young is even qualified to bea judge!

She is biased. Has no court reporter and disabled the ability to communicate with your attorney via chat without addressing EVERYONE in the room. I fear her ability to oversee family law matters from the last experience we had in court. The 2 previous judges in family court were beyond fair and reasonable. This is beyond concerning and detrimental to anyone already experiencing trauma in the family court system.

If I could give a negative 10, I would. I went before this Judge on several occasions, and my experiences has been nothing less than a nightmare. I don't believe that she reads the pleadings, she seems to always ask why are we here, she has been biased in my case, doesn't allow me to speak without cutting me off, rude, she rolled her eyes when I speak at times, I've sent plenty of evidence to support my case that I never get to introduce, my witness wasn't allowed to testify, I am spoken down to as opposed to being spoke to. I don't understand how this is allowed. It's insanity. I thought I was the only one, apparently I'm not.

My experience with this Judge was extremely traumatic. She totally pick a side since the my first court hearing . She’s been extremely rude and disrespectful tours me. Accusing me of being a bad person for not allowing what the other parent was asking for . Didn’t even ask one single question to the other parent. She’s not there to hear both sides of the story. She’s there to shame you . My last court with her . She leisure me the entire time and make me feel uncomfortable by the way she was speaking to me. She even told me that she can give the other parent primary custody then she catch her self saying that and went on to say she can give him more time as my child grows. So she pretty much told me that next time we are in court the other parent will get what he wants . So how do you find a solution when the judge is siding with the other parent . She did it in my first hearing and she did it again on the second . She seems very unprofessional and doesn’t seem to know much about family law . She asks her clerk for verification constantly and ask her question. She need to be remove . Now I am afraid to be in her court room since she kinda already threatened me on what she would rule . Without even asking the other parent anything or challenging him like she does with me . She takes advantage of her place there. She’s on the ethnicity side she likes.
