Sean Lafferty

Judge Lafferty was the Judge for my Divorce. Through the process I saw him effectively whine and complain things were too complicated for him and of all things, dismissed the importance of key evidence specifically in person testimonials. He pushed it to be in written form. Based on how the case continued, it did not seem that he bothered to read either parties affidavits. At one point he was doing a re-assessment of Spousal/Child Support. I asked him if he properly factored in the bonus I received. He said he did and was very dismissive. He was wrongfully dismissive because he completely botched the math. I do not see how a grown man cannot do such a simple calculation. As such I got overcharged for Support. I went back to Court to fix it and instead of going back to previously filed and served paperwork which he could have done to solve the issue, he got hung up on the latest round of filings. Eventually the matter was fixed. However ultimately his findings were very overly simplified considering the situation. I can fill you in offline. But moreover, sitting in that Court Room hearing him deal with other cases I found that while sometimes fair, he seemed to get irritated when concepts became too complicated and adjudicated based on his feelings. I am working to find a candidate to run against him and get this guy out of office. Contact me if you want to join the cause.

Im reading these comments about Judge Sean P Lafferty and was wondering if we all can get together to get him removed and also file a class action lawsuit against him. His actions are not suprising. This judge weaponized me being raped and molested against me to get me to lose custody of my children, and in addition, placed on public record that I abused my children, and now Im permanently unemployed and will never be able to work as a physician, because the efforts to get ruin people's lives, especially people of color. How can I pose a danger to my children, Im not even a danger to my patients? We should all get together and form a class action lawsuit against him and get him removed from the bench.

Long story short, about 6 months ago, Judge Lafferty gave me full custody of my 16 year old son. His mother has been brainwashing him since he was 5, and we even had two therapists confirm this in court. She has manipulated him terribly, emotionally terrorized him, and even threatened punishment if he didn't do her bidding and defy anything that I said. She spent years alienating me from his life, and we had a mountain of evidence substantiating this. Shortly after this order, my son wasn't cooperating with the order of changing schools and living with me, and Judge Lafferty did absolutely nothing to enforce that mom or son follow the order. My son simply said that he's not living with me, and Lafferty allowed it. He then proceeded to give mom temporary custody while he figured out what do to with our son. Now, coming the end of the trial, Judge Lafferty decided that he was going to give me full "legal" custody, yet allow my son to remain living with mom, an hour away, and staying in his current school. That fact that he thinks that leaving him in her care is acceptable, given all of the evidence and therapist testimony, is absolutely appalling. Additionally, in our last hearing, he literally said that he was going to enforce his original order (giving me sole custody). Now, he's changing his mind because he had a one on one discussion with our son (in private), and he now believes that my son is doing better. Judge Lafferty is literally allowing a minor to call the shots, and he is paying ZERO attention to ANY of the serious facts of the matter, including a mother who has literally being abusing her son emotionally since he was 5 years old. This man needs to be disbarred. Anybody who would do this to a child, keeping them in custody with a brainwashing parent, should not be allowed to practice law. This is a tragedy, to say the least. I feel bad for the other victims at the hand of Judge Lafferty, and I feel even worse for my son, w

Riverside County, CA and many of the entities within are corrupt and very racist and those who are in power allow it to happen because of people like Judge Lafferty who pick and choose who and how he will help. My rapist has the wherewithal to manipulate justice and truth because the police who would not allow me to press charges after I was told to send in why I was afraid, his lying lawyer Julie S. Page and [redacted by Ed.] Judge Sean P. Lafferty . As a black woman I am tired of my basic human rights being disregarded and people knowing what is happening but doing nothing to hold my rapist and his super minions accountable. My rapist and the molester of our children has raped and beat me for years, assaulted our children, forged my name on tax documents after Community Action Partnership of Riverside, CA did my tax, sex trafficked intimate pictures and video of me, had my mail go to his home more than a few times and while he has lived in Nuevo, CA, had my vehicle documents changed to him at one point, had my doctor lie and say I had been institutionalized but not allow me to get the records, broken protection orders, lied to the court, put my whereabouts out and caused me to be assaulted twice. His lawyer lied to the courts, saying she did not get the documents she asked me to send her, sent court forms to my sister who never gave them to me, lied and said she did not have a way to contact me when she had my phone number and post office box. The Superior Court and Judge kept lying to me any time I would call or go down for clarity and did not want me to know the exact date for court. I was told my contact information was not on record when Inland Counties Legal Services were to have sent the information. Judge Lafferty signed off on documents knowing the lies that were told and allowed them. I was not afforded to make a police report and all my efforts shut down. I try to respect people and their positions but I have to say “It is because of people like this Ju

There really seems to be racial and religious bias from Sean Lafferty. It also is clear he has associations and favoritism with attorneys and once he decides which party he is going to side with (typically) the father, no matter the patterns of abusive behavior and coercive control that are evidential; he sticks to giving that person what the request. Circumstances could change but he will ignore the hard evidence. Ask for a different judge if you haven’t already. You have a one time chance to do so. He will financially drain you and aid the doctors, minors counsel, lawyers to strip you of your civil rights in any way he can.

I earnestly hope that the questionable conduct and misuse of authority by Sean Lafferty are brought to light and addressed promptly. I encourage others on here to formally submit a complaint to the Judicial Commissioner of California regarding the conduct of Judge [Sean P Lafferty ]. Despite the passage of Piquis Law SB331, this judge has shown reluctance to enhance their knowledge on issues profoundly impacting lives. It is crucial to highlight that the judge appears to operate without proper oversight, employing unethical language and behavior while making unlawful and untimely rulings. Notably, the judge's behavior is evident within the courtroom, as he appears without a robe before and after proceedings, adopting a posture that may be perceived as prejudicial. There are instances where bias is apparent, and he refrains from recusal or disclosing interpersonal connections until hearings commence or during "off the record" interactions. Similar to other professions, consistent reviews of this judge's performance are imperative. An assessment of his ego and a rigorous examination to eliminate biased opinions are warranted to ensure lawful rulings based on facts and evidence. Moreover, I advocate for the judge's education in areas such as Coercive Control, Narcissism, and Domestic Violence Patterns that extend beyond physical manifestations, encompassing a deeper understanding of these issues. It is clear that he will not admit to wrongdoing, unlawful judgement or the ability to reconsider decisions that are clearly wrong. I desperately urge the State of California to sanction him and bring about Justice to the persons he is affecting. Many children’s lives are currently impacted by this judge and he does not take action to protect children over parental rights!

This judge does NOT look at both sides on family law!!!! [Redacted by Ed.] An absolute disgrace to his judicial oath!!!!!

Sean Lafferty needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his life based on his severe moral terptitudes demonstrated by egregious Civil Rights violations in the Parker/Ross matter, his unbridled support of the YAT program that was ruled Unconstitutional, and his continued Civil Rights violations as a Family Court Judge. He is the epitome of corruption and disdain for the law.

When judge James T. Warren illegally awarded my ex-wife 50% of my military retirement without any due process, I attempted to get the order set-aside. Judge Lafferty claimed that he researched the laws and upheld Judge Warren's decision. Judge Lafferty was not honest in stating he had researched the laws because if he had, he would not have ruled the way he did. Because I was in the military more than 14 years prior to getting married and another 5 years after divorce, California law does not permit awarding an ex-spouse 50% of the entire service time (36 years)I was only married 16 years. Additionally, there was nothing in my marital Settlement Agreement that stated my ex-wife would get any portion of my retirement, but the court did not seem to be concerned with due process. The court relies on the word of a corrupt attorney named Richard R. Muir (a third-party QDRO attorney), who has no knowledge of military retirements, but sells himself as an expert. Additionally, there was nothing legal in the the QDRO submitted to the court by Richard Muir, but the judges don't take the time to research the laws. In the order awarding my ex-wife 50% of my retirement, there is an indemnification clause that states the following: "If Member takes action that prevents, decreases, or limits the collection by Former Spouse of sums to be paid hereunder (including but not limited to a combination of benefits with any other retired pay, and waiver for any reason, including as a result of other federal service Chapter 61 disability, or Combat Related Special Compensation), then pursuant to In re Marriage of Smith (supra) and In re Marriage of Krempin 70 CA 4th 1008, 83 CR2d 134 (CA-1, Div 4, 1999), and In re Marriage of Krempin 70 CA 4th 1008, 83 CR2d 134 (CA-1, Div 4, 1999), Member shall make payments to Former Spouse directly in an amount sufficient to eliminate, as to Former Spouse, the effects of the action taken by Member."
