I had a tentative from the judge in my custody case that my daughter was coming to live w/me. She's been failing school & was kicked out of a Private Christian School for her grades. My ex did nothing to help. The judge told his counsel to tell him it would be better if he agreed and everyone work together with the move. He said no. Judge said he was entitled to "due process" so we came back for a trial. Before the trial started, Minors Counsel requested a conference on the record w/judge in chambers alone. Everyone agreed. (BIG mistake) After 45 min. the judge came out, cleared the courtroom, and proceeded to tell us that my daughter had severe emotional issues that needed to be dealt with immediately before she was going to make any changes. She then sealed the records. ??? What the heck??? I still don't know what she was referring to, and I can't see the transcripts. Is that legal? Minors counsel or Judge wouldn't tell us exactly what they were talking about. I am my child's parent. If she has some type of emotional problem shouldn't I be entitled to know about it and who made minors counsel a mental health professional? The judge (not a therapist) ordered my daughter to be in therapy a minimum of 2 times per week based on what minors counsel told her. My daughter has a therapist that she saw the day before all of this happened and she is amazed & baffled that minors counsel didn't even consult her to what was going on (minors counsel consulted her the week prior & told her she was recommending my daughter come live with me). What can I do? I feel as if they took my rights as a parent away. This court and the judge is like a good old boys club- they do whatever they want. Help!
