We are a community of court watchers, families and attorneys in Fairfield County whose children's safety has been disrupted by the decisions made by Judge Jennifer DeCastro Tunnard. Her judgments in family court have consistently demonstrated a disregard for the well-being of children and a negligence that is alarming and troubling. Many families have been left vulnerable due to her reckless dismissal of ex parte motions, restraining orders, and supervision requests, which are essential safeguards designed to protect children.

Jennifer DeCastro Tunnard, presiding in a family court, has repeatedly applied criminal standards inappropriately to family cases, causing undue stress and potential harm to children and families. This misuse of her judicial authority not only violates due process but also raises serious concerns about her ability to make fair and caring decisions that truly reflect the needs of the families she serves.

This petition is born out of real stories from families who have faced heartbreak and fear from what they perceive as impatient and poorly judged rulings. Her actions have left families feeling helpless, questioning their safety, and challenging their faith in the judicial system meant to protect them. Too many families have been caught in the crossfire of her decisions, feeling neglected and unheard by the very institution that should support them in times of need.

It is imperative that Kevin Dunn, who holds the authority to initiate judicial review processes, is made aware of these grievances and investigates her conduct. The value of due process and the correct application of legal standards in family court cannot be understated, and ensuring this is a matter of utmost urgency to prevent further harm to vulnerable children and their families.

We call on Kevin Dunn to prioritize the safety and rights of children above all else by closely reviewing Jennifer DeCastro Tunnard's rulings and considering necessary action to uphold the integrity of the Stamford court. Sign this petition to protect our children and demand accountability from those in power to make changes where needed.
