Warning, this judge is inherently Biased.

Warning, this judge is inherently Biased. In my case the evaluators June 2019 ordered the minor including minors counsel and both parents for the minor to have counseling/therapy. Every 6 mths the petitioner has filed contempt of court orders and all she does is again order the respondent ( mother) to immediately get counseling and she fails to do so. Then this was assigned to Minors Counsel to assist get Counseling . Both Minors counseling and The respondent have violated the court orders and in 4 years nothing has been done in the best interest of the minor. Bit I missed one mediation during Covid she sanctioned me fined me. She has double standards, verbally insulating in her courtroom. Have filed 6 contempt of orders that involve 6 court order violations and this Judge still refuses to take any action . I wish could afford help but in the meantime the minor is suffering from this judges lack of her own court orders. I have 17 other bias actions of this Judge but too long to type here.

This woman should truly not be handing down decisions from the bench.

This woman should truly not be handing down decisions from the bench. She displays sarcasm and makes inappropriate comments toward one side while showing openness and empathy toward the other. She even went as far as to verbalize her liking of the other side while accusing our side of drug use (there was no evidence of that). She does not consider (or read) valid and copious documentation provided by the side she is biased against, and yes, prejudges family court cases prior to hearing them. She refused to follow recommendations of two 730 exams (court mandated psy hiatric family assessments. She favors the father's sides and acknowledges that she is the stepmother for her husband's children. She unfairly displays anger toward the side she has disfavored and stops them from speaking. After witnessing these behaviors once, I made it a point to return to other hearings and heard similar situations. I believe she also has overseen the judicial behavior of other judges, putting her in the position of denying fairness when questioned. I seriously doubt the mental health of Silbar.

This pathetic excuse for a judge emotionally identifies with abusers and she has the blood of women and children on her hands. If you are ever a victim of domestic violence, do yourself a favor and keep it out of her courtroom. This woman will not help you, she will sense your vulnerability and pile on because it’s entertaining to her. She will not look at your evidence and she will make your life a living hell for even bothering to report it to her. The most bizarre thing about her is that she does it right in the open. Every single lawyer knows what she’s about because the same scenario is being reported over and over again, by numerous victims over many many years.

I feel like instead of doing whats best for the child, its keep the child parent relationship no matter what. I did everything i was suppose to, the other parent didnt. Even said he would eventually (whatever that actually means) and that was completely fine with her. The other parent has shown over and over again that our child is only a priority if i pay, make the effort. And have the responsibility. He has shown over and over he doesnt put our child first or even close to first. And thats completely fine. He has no consequences for not doing his part. But if it were reversed i would be in trouble. Ive seen her listen more to litigants who have lawyers. So i guess being a female and no lawyer means me and our child should get screwed.
