Judge Ballard ??

Hey I was wanting to know if anyone has ever had Ballard as their judge in family court?? He will be my judge against the father of my child, the father has never seen her, has already lied to his lawyer about numerous things, he has straight told me he would mentally and emotionally abuse her and he doesn't want a f'n thing to do with her which I have witnesses to, also he has two other kids he never sees as well and he is just very unfit he was going to allow my ex husband to adopt her cause he seriously does not want her at all! I tried in the start asking him to come see her invited him to bday parties stuff like that but as soon as he said he would harm my baby there is no way!! BTW she is 3 yrs 3 months and he has never seen her in person talked to her nothing. Any info would be helpful Thanks!!

Judge Ballard Sucks

Judge Ballard is my family court judge and from my experience he is more for the father. My son's father has physically abused him and bruised him on several occasions and he was just ordered anger management and parenting classes which is a joke. My ex husband still gets to see my son every other weekend. I do not like him as a judge. Also i had julia sholoup (sp) as my lawyer at first and she would not continue with my case when judge ballard was assigned to my case because she said she did not agree with how he did things. Ive heard negative things about him from alot of people. Good luck!

thanks i believe i have him, my babys sperm donor has never seen his daughter and shes a little over 3 and he has flat out said he would be mentally and emotionally abusive to her and he didnt want a f*ckin thing to do with her! Was going to sign the affadavit saying he was the father so my now ex husband could adopt her but that never happened! Well then a month down the road when he had already admitted to him being the father he wants a DNA now my child was planned and I have never cheated in my life so he got his dna and he was the father who would have thought lmao but now he has to pay for the test! haha!! Now I got papers from his lawyer with it going to ballard and montgomery so now I am not real sure who my judge is now but if it is Ballard I will change judges immediatly!!! I have plenty of witnesses of how unfit he is from his other children who are now teens, his ex wife and babys mom! I will be damned if he ever lays eyes on my baby I dont want him to hurt her and if that means contempt everytime then thats fine but no one will hurt my child because they will leave on a gurney or body bag! I know thats horrible but if you a mommy or daddy then you understand that you would and will protect your child by any means possible! I am not to worried though he doesn't see his other kids who live 5 mins away I live a lil over a hour away anyways I am babbling! Thanks for the info

How in the hell is asking a legitimate question spam?? Ignorance is bliss and someone is very blissful!!

Ur welcome! I hope everything goes well!:)

Judge ballard is a very fair judge

well I just got a letter for court and montgomery is my judge which I know nothing about either but it less then a month away

Judge Ballard is the worst Family court judge there is!

Thank You I do not have him as two cases were open and they consolidated them to one with Judge Montgomery! I appreciate your reponse though!!

I don't mean to sound mean but as you stated in your previous posts, your child was planned and you chose him. If he has older children that he has not been a good father to then I can't understand why you would choose him to father your child. The courts may work in his favor because of the DNA test. He can say that he didn't believe or know that it was his child until the DNA tests proved that he was and once he learned that it was in fact his child that he now wants to accept responsibility. Family court is not like criminal court where you get to call witnesses to the stand and get statements. The court will more than likely appoint the child an attorney through guardian adlitem and that attorney works only in the best interest of the child. The child's attorney will visit both your house and the father's house to see if the child can adequately be cared for in both residences. They will listen to what you have to say and what the father has to say and they determine what is best. The child's attorney will send a recommendation to the judge and the judge usually orders what is recommended by the child's attorney.

exactly she choose him as the (sperm donor) the Judge will have to give joint-custody , when He finds out the baby was planned by consenting adults , unless she made the plans without His consent , many of these traps have been set over the years

No she was very planned by both of us, there was no traps or anything of the such, he was very excited about the baby when we found out I was pregnant! I have never kept him from his child and the only reason I feel he should not see her now because he said he DOES NOT want her and he would emotionally and mentally abuse her, as he has did with the other two children he has! I know he hasn't seen them in over 3 yrs and has no intentions to, they do not call him dad they call him by his first name and they are teens so they understand what is going on, however the man that has raised them is the one they call dad! I have tried over the years to get him to come see her, come to special events and everything, but he lets his family run his life! He was going to sign a affidavit saying he was the father so my now ex husband could adopt her because as I said he does not want her! I have no clue where he actually lives, the last know residence I know of is my parents house! I have kept him updated on things and have even sent him pics, so believe me you until he said he would abuse her and did not want her is when I stopped trying, if he is not going to take care of his kids that live 5 mins from him he isn't going to take care of one that lives over a hour away! As a mommy I will protect my child. His family is very unstable as well and have horrible tempers, my child will not be subjected to a enviroment like that!! Also we were engaged to be married before the baby was born but he far from had his priorities straight! He did go to one Dr's appt with me, came and took me to the er when I was dehydrated and started having contractions, he knew she was his this whole time, he also knew when she was born I wanted him there at the hospital but had no way of contacting him, but he had numerous ways to contact me! So this is why I asked was he a fair Judge only because of the issues he has caused his other two kids! His reasoning to not pay back child support is that I didn't keep him updated about her. ummm kinda hard when ur up all night changing diapers, making bottles amoung other things he knew he had every right to come and see her but for over 3 yrs he has chose not to be around! Thats not my fault nor my responsiblity! I truely believe he can be a awesome dad thing is he doesn't know how to be considering he never seen his father except one time on his 3rd bday and never again, I know its a excuse but the truth!! So no he wasn't just a sperm donor and we have started talking again knowing we are gonna have to deal with each other for 17 more years and we get along well but I know and so does he that her staying with me is in her best intrest! Come on now ppl do you really think I chose for not to have a daddy? I dont think so!!

Btw I found out a little to late about his other kids and the way he was with them hell he acted and did a good job at it that the mom would not let him see the kids, and I know a lot of parents that use their children as levarge! We even went to the hospital when his daughter was in there so I can only believe what I am told but in the end the kids told me different
