Remarkable that this woman has managed to serve on the bench for over 5 years without a single review of her judicial performance. Although I found a quick scroll through her instagram sufficient to validate my experience in her courtroom. Zero pretense of objectivity. She prescribed her decisions using this really innovative emotional-based assessment. So say you have a 7-month marriage with a 3-month old baby, and mom is unhappy and wants to take the baby out of the marital home 300 miles away to live with her parents, and then a week later decides to file for divorce there, well that’s totally legal to Cartright. So is awarding mom 6-months of alimony. As for dad, he decided to stay in the marital home after filing a motion for change in venue. He didn’t harm anyone or break any laws but he did hurt mom’s feelings, so he’ll just need to pay mom’s attorney fees and then if he wants to see his kid it’ll just have to be in a gov’t building under the supervision of a social worker. Then if he’s well behaved for two years and moves within 15 miles of mom’s parents house, he just needs to sign a settlement agreement and he’ll be allowed to see his son unsupervised every other weekend. If you don’t understand any of it, it’s okay you’re just gonna have to adjust to this utopian vision judge Cartright has set forth for us. She’s a real maverick! We need more women of color in positions of power.
