It doesn't sound very ethical...it sounds biased to me. Courts generally hate to admonish a judge, esp being accused by someone with little knowledge of law. Keep your finger on the pulse....keep every record you can. talk to teachers, doctors, daycare workers etc....Yes, it, dog ****. I am a NCP. There is a book written about how judges think...if I can remember it, I will post it. Play to the judges sense of what is what is fair and right for the kids. There is a sentence or 2 that will make her take a 2nd look......think! you emotionally vested, that the advantage of lawyers...it's a chess game. no urgency as you have. Have some one neutral look at it. Maybe a law student, a retired lawyer...ask around. I won by many hours studying the judge in family court, reading decisions, books, talking to teachers...anyone who interacts with my kids etc....after 31/2 yrs, things are finally pretty good. But ....yes family court is a joke..
