Chuck Boring is supposed to be our watchdog against bad judges. Isn’t a judge who fails to hold a trial and pretends she doesn’t need to pretty bad?

Rules 2.6 and 2.9 of the Georgia Canons of Judicial Conduct make it very clear that Georgia judges must give every person the right to be heard. Sadly too many judges across the nation are stripping good parents of their 14th Amendment Constitutional right to parent their children without due process. In 2022 a DeKalb County Superior Court Judge was reported to your office for misconduct in a family law matter in which one of the parties was a powerful Atlanta lawyer, and it does not take much investigation to see that shortly after that reporting started, this Judge issued a trial order in a contested custody case that lasted from about July 2020 to February 2022 WITHOUT A SINGLE EVIDENTIARY HEARING and closed the case. The Mother in that case properly contested the matter with an answer and counterclaim. Her attorney, from when she could afford one, signed an affidavit provided to the office that there was only one nonevidentiary hearing, and it’s clear from that record that it was took place before the Mother filed her valid answer and counterclaim. Hence, she was never heard. This misconduct is clear and devastating.

This may be only the tip of the iceberg of this judge’s documented misconduct, but there’s no mistaking what is sticking out of the water, unable to be muddied with false claims. This judge ignored the law and deprived the Mother of the right to be heard. She ignored the law and deprived the children of a best interests analysis as required by law on Mother’s answer and counterclaim.

Parents in Georgia are still PERSONS with rights under our laws and there is no differentiation in the Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct stating that the Canons do not apply when a Judge is sitting in on a Family Court matter. Judicial misconduct has NO PLACE affecting CHILDREN or stripping protective loving parents of their Constitutional rights. JQC Director Chuck Boring's dismissal of this investigation undermines THE CONFIDENCE OF THE UNDERSIGNED in our Georgia judicial system and encourages the ongoing judicial corruption that “family court” is known for throughout the nation.

We will not be silent until Family Court is safe.
