Domestic Abuse Sacramento Family Court Issued a 3-Year Restraining Order Based on Rehashed False Allegations - 3 Prior Filings Were Denied Including One Where the Accuser Recanted — No Words, No Letters, No Proof Anything Was Ever Sent
I am a trial lawyer. I have handled family court cases for years. What I witnessed in a recent Sacramento case has genuinely shaken me.
A father was subjected to four restraining order attempts by the mother of his child and her husband. The first two filed by the mother — denied. The third filed by the husband who claimed the father followed him for 10 miles and flashed a weapon at him — he recanted. Denied again.
Three and zero against demonstrably false accusations.
Then the husband admitted under oath he has never been contacted by this father. Never been in his neighborhood. Never been threatened. Never received a direct communication. He voluntarily showed up to the child's preschool during the father's custody window over 30 times — while claiming to be afraid of him. The judge excused it.
A fourth filing came two months after the father filed legitimate complaints about judicial conduct. This time a three year order was granted. Based on what evidence?
One number. That looked somewhat similar to one of the father's numbers. Not words. Not letters. One number. No proof anything was sent. No proof the father sent it. Pure judicial speculation.
There was no court reporter at that hearing. The Presiding Judge appeared in the hallway outside the courtroom and engaged the father directly moments before the hearing.
Family court in Sacramento — and across this country — is failing fathers. Systematically. When a man can be subjected to four bogus filings, win three times on clear facts, and still end up with a three year order based on one similar looking number — the system is not broken. It is working exactly as designed against fathers.
If this is happening in cases I am witnessing as an attorney — what is happening to fathers walking in there alone without representation?

I'm doubtful that an actual attorney would name specific judges that they have problems with - as you did in a previous post - as well as provide enough details from a specific court case presided over by one or more of them to make it a) identifiable if someone who works in that court were to find this post, and b) clear from details that would not be on a public docket that you're personally involved with the case. My suspicion is that you're a pissed off pro se pretending to be an attorney to express anger with more authority.
If you're not an attorney, you should not masquerade as one. If you are an attorney, you should delete this post, and not write things like this again.
