Approximately 60% of this court’s docket pertains to families and children going through divorce, child custody, child support, child abuse and neglect, and adoptions. My top priority and commitment as Judge will be to the welfare of the children in these cases. I want to be known as a “Champion for Children” and will ensure the needs of children appearing before this court are met. The Judge of this court has to make gut-wrenching decisions regarding which parent should have custody of their children, and sometimes children must be removed from their homes when abuse or neglect is involved. These decisions may completely change the trajectory of the lives of the children and families who appear in this court, which is why experience matters. I have served as an Attorney Ad Litem or Amicus Attorney for children for over 24 years. I have always been a strong advocate for the safety, welfare, and protection of children.
