BALDWIN COUNTY FAMILY COURT

Just when you thought there was no hope for the Baldwin County Family Court, Judge Thomason announces she is running for Court of Appeals position vacated by Craig Pittman who is retiring. Of course another court will inherit her incompetence but at least she won’t be making decisions about the welfare of children. It should be expected if she looses the election Nov. 2018, she probably will re run for her present position again. Judge Thomason will use the republican party to retaliate against any opponent or have them eliminated all together from running, she has a track record of dirty politics, and is loved by the good ole boys.

Judge Thomason is a charter member of the Board of Baldwin Substance Abuse Services.

This is a non profit that collects fees that are charged against persons who are instructed by the court to attend for alcohol or drug related convictions. Sounds great but no body knows where the money goes? No audits or transparency exists despite a significant amount of money collected. The organization is a cash machine supported by citizens who get caught up in DUI’s and minor drug cases, the question is where does the cash go?

Judge Thomason is infamous for her courtroom antics and gets credit for turning a divorce procedure and child custody cases, into a cottage industry, that supplies bottom feeding attorneys with cases that often take years to resolve. The one common denominator is that the children suffer the most and the parents spend thousands on attorneys, and not their kids.

BALDWIN COUNTY FAMILY COURT – A COTTAGE INDUSTRY

For years we have been critical of the family court, especially the rulings of District Judge Michelle Thomason. Complaints lit Facebook up like a Christmas tree. They were so plentiful and consistent…

This is a sample post that explains some of the problems in Judge Thomason’s court,

This post is only to inform people of our adult child’s ongoing case in Judge Thomason’s courtroom. I spoke with my child and was given permission to post our experiences with Thomason. At first, we wanted to keep quite and just vote. But this is America, what good is it to have free speech if you are afraid to use it? In a courtroom rulings should be based on the truth, backed by evidence and the law. Not based on a Judge’s personal feelings and what attorney they like or dislike. The following are a few of the MAJOR problems we encountered over the last few years in Thomason’s courtroom. 1. The other party in the case asked for medical records of my child and myself. There was a motion filed to quash the subpoena for the medical records. Judge Thomason answer to the motion was as follows: Order was for the medical records to be sent to the clerk’s office. The attorneys could come to clerk’s office and no photo copies could be made of medical records. Attorneys could only make notes. We got to court and the other attorney pulled out our medical records (certified copy) . They did not notify the court they had these records and did not notify our attorneys they had them. Absolutely NOTHING was done to the attorneys for illegally obtaining the records!!! Thomason gave our attorneys a few minutes to look over the records and told the other attorneys to make copies for her and our attorneys. That was it!!! We contacted the doctor to find out how they got the medical records. The records were obtained while the doctor and his nurse were on vacation. The other party’s attorney actually went in the doctor’s office, showed ID & gave his business card and obtained our records ILLEGALLY!! Imagine how violated you feel with your medical records in the hands of a unethical attorney. Everyone in their office has access to them, and I am sure they were shared with the other party. So if you are a attorney in her courtroom you may break the law with no worry of any consequence. 2. We request a psychological exam of the other party. Judge Thomason ordered a psychological evaluation of all parties (both parents and all four grandparents). The psychologist did extensive testing on all parties, along with several sessions with the parties. He testified that both parents were fit, but our child was more fit and recommended custody to be grant to our child, and give multiple reasons why he came to that decision. Thomason gave joint custody with the other party have primary (not even a 50/50. Every reason the psychologist stated for the other party not to have primary custody has happened. Thousands of dollars were spent on these evals and she did not even go by her own expert’s recommendations. Our child will be in a court room for years fighting for the child’s right and his rights. I called the expert after her final decision and his response was “Thomason has made a huge mistake and y’all need to appeal”. 3. We had evidence to present in court and she would not allow it. Judge Thomason would not allow it because she did not know the law. Rather than find out what the law was, she just ruled no. We feel this evidence was very important to the case. 4. The other party was on the stand and multiple times Judge Thomason stopped their testimony to tell them to stop lying and informed them they were committing perjury which is a felony. She verbally chastised them and yet again, NO CONSEQUENCES in her courtroom for breaking the law. And then she grants the lying party primary custody and final decision on every important aspect of our grand child’s life (except for religion and sports).

If we want ethical attorneys, it start with Judges hold attorney accountable in their courtroom! Please keep our child and our grandchild in your prayers.

No Judge in Baldwin County comes even close to the amount of complaints levied at Judge Thomason, however the State Judiciary and the Alabama Bar Association turn a blind eye to all complaints or any accountability.

PASS THE WORD VOTE OUT JUDGE THOMASON
