Call for the Removal of Judge Jackson from the Family Court Bench
I am writing to publicly raise serious concerns about Judge Jackson’s conduct in family court proceedings. Based on my direct experience, I believe she has repeatedly demonstrated judicial bias, a disregard for established law, and a concerning lack of commitment to the best interests of children — all of which undermine the integrity of the legal process.
Within just 20 days, Judge Jackson issued 12 rulings that lack any factual or legal foundation. Several of these rulings are based on demonstrably incorrect or fabricated facts, such as filing dates, service dates, and official child support records — all of which are easily verifiable through the court docket. Despite these inaccuracies, she has denied hearings, rejected child support requests, and made sweeping decisions without proper findings or due process.
Judge Jackson routinely applies the same legal standards and rules inconsistently between parties, fostering a sense of inequality and favoritism. In discretionary matters — such as legal decision-making, parenting time, and child relocation — she issues decisions without adequate justification or findings, sometimes simply stating it is in the "best interest of the child," without explaining how that conclusion was reached.
Even more troubling is her practice of modifying prior parenting time orders to accommodate a parent who has repeatedly violated the court’s existing plan — rather than holding the violating parent accountable through contempt proceedings. This approach not only encourages noncompliance but also punishes the law-abiding parent and destabilizes the children’s lives.
Judge Jackson has also delayed Resolution Management Conferences (RMCs) or final rulings, allowing violations of parenting time and child support orders to continue unchecked — despite the legal presumption that existing orders are in the best interests of the children until properly modified.
Moreover, she has continued to enforce rulings that have been vacated or overturned on appeal, further undermining the legitimacy of the judicial process. Through a consistent pattern of fabricating facts, misapplying the law, and issuing contradictory rulings, she creates a false record that she later uses to justify discretionary awards such as attorney’s fees — decisions that are incredibly difficult to challenge on appeal due to the broad discretion afforded to trial judges.
This pattern of conduct is not just legally questionable — it is damaging to families, especially to children caught in the middle of custody disputes. A judge who demonstrates such repeated bias and indifference to facts and law should not be entrusted with decisions that profoundly affect the lives of children and their parents.
For the sake of fairness, accountability, and the best interests of families, I respectfully urge that Judge Jackson be removed from the bench.

Let me know if you want a version tailored for filing with a judicial complaint board or a change-of-judge motion.
Soubir supported: Investigate/Remove Judge Charlene Jackson for Alleged Negligence and MisconductI am a victim of this judge. My little girl was put in the custody of my abuser. I have crippling child support that I can’t afford and I’m a gunsmithing student who is required to have a clean record. This judge violated res judica and allowed his lawyer to re-litigate the whole case. Please remove this home wrecker before she damages more families and children. I haven’t seen my daughter in two years because of this woman
Leigh supported: Investigate/Remove Judge Charlene Jackson for Alleged Negligence and MisconductI could recount the hardships my family has endured under this judge, but as someone well-versed in Arizona family law, it is clear that Judge Charlene Jackson lacks a fundamental understanding of the law. Arizona is renowned for its prestigious law schools, yet her actions tarnish that reputation. It seems that anyone, regardless of qualifications, can ascend to such a critical role. Her rulings consistently favor wealth and power over the best interests of the child. Every case she has presided over deserves to be thoroughly examined and appealed.
She is a complete misuse of taxpayer funds and a failure to uphold justice. I urge everyone reading this to review any case she has handled and draw their own conclusions. Personally, I am shocked that this individual was ever awarded a law degree. Her blatant disregard for Arizona law is unacceptable. The proof lies in the evidence—or lack thereof—and her ultimate rulings. One day, she will be held accountable for the harm inflicted on the children she unjustly separated from their mothers.
Emily supported: Investigate/Remove Judge Charlene Jackson for Alleged Negligence and MisconductI’m heartbroken and furious. This judge gave rights to the man who kidnapped our child — the same man the CAA report exposed for his long history of abuse, manipulation, and controlling behavior. I am a victim of domestic violence. Our child witnessed the abuse. And yet, somehow, this judge still decided to hand him rights? This isn’t justice — it’s a complete failure of the system. She ignored every red flag, every warning, and put our child back in the hands of someone dangerous. I’m disgusted and heartbroken. This is how victims get retraumatized, and this is how kids get hurt.
Nicole supported: Investigate/Remove Judge Charlene Jackson for Alleged Negligence and MisconductI am writing to formally express my concerns regarding your recent rulings in the case involving my daughter, [Your Daughter’s Full Name], and her former spouse, [Ex-Spouse’s Full Name]. While I understand the complexity of family law matters, I believe some of the decisions in this case may have caused unnecessary hardship and raised questions regarding the application of the law.
Specifically, I am troubled by the following:
1. Child Support Order: My daughter, an unemployed mother of three, has been ordered to pay $300 per month in child support. This figure appears disproportionate given her financial circumstances and raises questions about the method used to calculate this amount.
2. Emergency Custody Order: Granting emergency custody of my daughter’s children to their father, who is cohabitating with his extramarital partner and their child, raises serious concerns about the stability and appropriateness of this arrangement.
3. Forensic Testing: Requiring my daughter to undergo forensic psychological testing twice, despite her passing and having no history of mental instability, seems excessive and unnecessary.
4. Property Division: Forcing the immediate sale of the Chandler home and awarding her a significantly disproportionate share of the equity appears unjust and does not align with typical equitable distribution principles.
These rulings have caused substantial financial and emotional strain not only on my daughter but also on her children, who deserve a stable and supportive environment. As a concerned parent and citizen, I feel compelled to address these matters to ensure that justice is served fairly and equitably.
I respectfully urge you to review these decisions and consider their broader implications on the affected parties. Additionally, I request clarity on the legal basis for these rulings and whether they align with Arizona family law standards.
It is my hope that this letter will encourage reflection and lead to outcomes that prioritize the well-being of the children involved and the fair treatment of all parties.Concerned Father B Johnson
Brett supported: Investigate/Remove Judge Charlene Jackson for Alleged Negligence and MisconductThis is not just an unfortunate accident, it is negligence. A child was failed by a trusted adult family friend and was failed. Don't let the justice system fail her too!
Melissia supported: Strengthen the Laws: Demand Accountability and Justice for Negligent Child DeathsThis is my friend's baby, and she was a beautiful little girl full of life with and almost a whole life to live, that was cut short by careless adults that called themselves friends. Accidents do happen. But this wasn't one of them. And not only was Quinn and her family robbed of her life, so was the world. I believe she would of changed it, If this law can be passed, then she still will.
❤️Justice for Quinn❤️
Amber supported: Strengthen the Laws: Demand Accountability and Justice for Negligent Child DeathsDrowning is a preventable tragedy, yet it continues to happen due to negligence and lack of accountability. It's time for our laws to reflect the value we place on human life, especially our children's lives. Let's make a change and prevent more families from suffering.
Sharie supported: Strengthen the Laws: Demand Accountability and Justice for Negligent Child DeathsThis has to be a law. A child gets S/Aed every HALF AN HOUR in Congo. It genuinely breaks my heart to see these statistics knowing that every 30 minutes people suffer. My sister was raped by her best friend about 4 years ago. I'm 12. I'm going through puberty. I already make a lot of mistakes and with puberty that amount is only going to be doubled. And I'm scared that if I make too big of a mistake, that this will happen to me too. Sincerely, Connor.
