Judge Cheryl Matthews

badexperience — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 03:16:57 GMT

Any other divorced mothers had a bad experience with Judge Matthews?

She has treated parents who appear before her rudely and without respect. She does not apply the law and thinks she is above the law. She is not looking out for the best interest of children and it concerns me that she is unopposed in the upcoming election.
