@@Tiffer143she wasn’t arrested at all and got no time for not showing up. Let a father do that. Watch how quick his ass is going to jail. Btw. She claimed she had an OBGYN appointment. Let’s hope she isn’t preggo again. AAAAAAAND. Her oldest isn’t even his. He flat out adopted her. The dude is one hell of a man. And father who thoroughly stepped up for a woman who’s arrogant, spoiled, delusional, and clearly a horrible mother. She should be ashamed of herself.
He seems way too personally involved as well. Is this Chelsea's dad as a lawyer? Like look at the lawyers mannerisms and body language anytime the ex speaks... Anytime she speaks and how he speaks to her..
@@tracykentish9043.... Any good attorney will shush his client to prevent them from saying something damaging to themselves, or to stop them from speaking when it isn't their turn, or interrupting the judge, etc.... I don't hold that against him and attorneys are expected to do what's best for their client even if the client doesn't realize it. Now, all of that said....I don't like the attorney as he had a very smug and condescending attitude and the mother of the children is sitting there with a RBF the whole time and thinks she can not only interrupt the judge, but also that she can ignore the courts orders.
I can't believe he tried to argue for the children to have LESS stability and be moved around all the time. The whole point of family court is to provide the children with stability and a good environment. There's no judge on the planet who's going to agree that a child needs to be chucked from school to school. What an idiot.
He’s got too big of an ego & despises mom’s lawyer! So by walking in circles it keeps him from getting too upset. He still interrupted the lawyer tho lol I think in the future the judge needs to use the mute button a lot more with him & the mother!
When I'm on any sort of important call (video or audio), I tend to pace and roam. It's like an anxious energy that I can't stop. With that being said, this isn't a "video call." It's COURT, and when you're in Zoom Court, you should dress and behave exactly as you would if you were there in person. Sit still, wait your turn to speak, dress appropriately, don't drive, pace or smoke, etc.
I know where I live parents are having issues with schools. Many kids don't have a classroom because the classes are too full or the classroom doesn't have a teacher... and they only found out last week or this week. So it's a big scramble because there are too many kids and too few teachers.
She had a court order that they had to attend that school. If she needed to move them out of that district she needed to ask the court. The court isnt going to give her leniency because she moved. She needed to tell the court she moved and ask that the order be updated to reflect the new school district. Just moving the kids is asking for contempt.
I bet her lawyer told her to go ahead and enroll them b/ c he was telling the judge that she didn’t need permission to move less than 100 miles and he would talk the judge into changing the school system. But that didn’t fly…poor kids!
Judge likely came in with bias due to the mother failing to participate and cooperate with the friend of the court. People don't realize how important it is to be decent for all proceedings, even the minor ones. Written opinions and other councilor actions are seen by the judge if they are relevant to the system and relevance.
The attorney wasn't prepared. He didn't like that dad keeps filing complaints and wants dad to give him everything personally that dad files with the courts. If dad didn't file all the complaints, there wouldn't be any record of the mom's bad behavior. Dad wouldn't have won. Maybe dad should go for one week on, one week off. Then mom wouldn't have to drive the kids to school as much.
It's gross like my ex Refused to bring the kid saying she feared was open.Fire department was open.Courthouse was open. She Was ordered to bring it to court. Is where the core officers would protect her. Still refused Police department in court officers Kept record of all refusals
He's not standing still because he's practicing control . The lawyer who has a buddy in filing and also He keeps interrupting keeps making fun of him. Is x is making faces Acting like she's the boss because she's on state assistance Health care for the kids
Any time someone says “to be honest, with all honesty, truthfully” you know it’s going to be followed with a lie. “Respectfully” and “with all due respect” are the same.
Chelseas attorney deeply resents her 😂 The first time he was about to say “Shut up Chelsea!” Good for dad but they both sound childish. Gotta love your kids more than you hate your ex.
When you have a parent (mom) refuse to follow court orders and keep you from seeing your kids, plus change school without asking or notifying anyone. The dad has every right to be upset. This has probably been going on for a long time. That's why they have to meet at the police station.
She went against a court order and moved their kids into a different school district. He has EVERY RIGHT to be pissed off and filing complaints to the court!
ZOOM court is bad. People appearing have no respect, dress like crap, interrupt the judge, smoke, eat, yell, scream, and demand things. The attorney saying frickin should’ve been admonished.
I am happy the dad prevailed, but I really wish he’d stand still & not interrupt anyone during his case. It would make him look even better if he could stay calm, cool, collected & keep from making the small little comments throughout.
A fricken men. The judge should have stopped that early and made the man go to one spot for the rest of the trial because it's moving around was very very distracting and annoying.
Probably out of frustration. Alot of men pace when in an uncomfortable situation. If he sits down his legs may start to shake or he may start crying. Heart probably ready to jump out his chest. He is upset! But I do agree too much movement....control yourself!
An attorney telling his client loudly to shush, argues with judge, interacts with the father who is not his client is so unbecoming, rude and out of line. Girl go get yourself a profesional lawyer who can get his points across without all the extra.
He wants rules on discovery because Dad is filing motions but not CCing te other side. That is against court procedures and the lawyer wants the judge to ask the dad to CC his court filings. What child support? Lol This was a custody hearing. No one said they even had a child support agreement.
Wow what a nasty woman. I can see why her and the kids father are no longer together. Telling the judge she's not gonna what she was ordered to do. Wow really.. The spoiled little brat belongs in jail for contempt.
The father has primary custody she's paying him child support... She's trying to lessen the amount of child support that she has to pay this is one of the few times that the father actually wins
The mother creates a problem and Steven Rotenberg states that the father has to change everything because of all the problems the mother created. Got to love how twisted the system is.
You could tell she's used to getting what she wants she's never been told no but when she finds herself face down on a jail floor by some stud ... She's going to understand the word no then!!!
If there is a concern about her driving with the children that distance then she should move back and commute to work to make it easier on the children. It's crazy how her lawyer complains about the distance she would have to travel but if she keeps the children in school by her residence, the father would also have to travel.
@@Deargodwhatexcept she was court ordered not to change their schools and did it anyways then flat out told the court she wouldn't do what she was ordered to. She clearly can't be trusted to be a grown adult and do what's best for her children.
How about the mum moves back to where the school is and SHE alone drives the long journey to and from work, rather than forcing her children to change schools because SHE unilaterally decided to take a job miles away from her childrens' school and their father!
She’s too selfish and she doesn’t really care about her children. She just wants to make everything difficult for the father because she is selfish and immature
I love how the lawyers making fun of him or judging him for not being able to afford a freaking attorney. Sorry, not everybody has thousands of dollars for an attorney.At least he's still fighting for his kids.😮
How is the lawyer “dirty”? He’s just representing his client. The lawyer didn’t make fun of the ex-husband for not being able to afford a lawyer; he pointed out that the ex-husband has to follow the rules, including the rule that requires a party to deliver a copy of all court documents to the other party. Plus, I think you’re giving the ex-husband way more credit than he deserves. He was sending his girlfriend to pick up the kids. They’re both behaving badly. Neither one of them has any sense of decorum or civility. They’re both really angry. It’s a bad situation, and their behavior is making it worse.
@@erzabetf9544 The thing doesn't say he has to, he even said it was because he was at work when he was allowed to get them. You want to say bad? The mom would take an hour + to get the kids.
I so hope she doesn't show up in court as ordered. The look on her face when the judge orders primary custody to dad will be priceless. Then when she has to start paying child support will be the cherry on top. Mother is used to stomping her feet and getting her way. This judge will teach her a life lesson about such an attitude if she doesn't show up in court with the children.
I hope they make a part too because I want to know how long she went to jail after she said she's not showing up in person!!! And not turn over the children
I want to be on the father’s side but he needs to be still for court! The judge should be more strict on making people act the same way on zoom that they would in person.
So moving around means you can't be a good father? Lol I swear you all worry about the wrong thing. If the judge was bothered by it he would have said something. Smh
@@bkim412 you started your statement with "I want to be on the fathers side but...." you say that as if him moving around somehow stops him from being a good parent. Who cares if it's annoying that's not the focus the kids are!
I would absolutely NEVER hire that attorney after seeing his performance in this hearing. Any attorney that yells at me to shush like is a hell no. It's clear he is in it in the interest of his own ego and winning, not in the interest of his client. Shameful.
Her attorney seems like he just fumbling through this... and the "shush" to his own client proves he really wasn't ready for this today.. 13:27 fire his ass. $10 says she asked her attorney before she moved and he told her it would be ok because it was under 100 miles.. he just wasn't expecting the judge to push back on the issue.
17:08 is when it finally gets good! Personally I don't like court hearing by zoom. I believe it allows people to be too casual and gets them into an issue like this.. in court I doubt she would have this type of outburst.
@@gribble2979 Agreed but it's his whole attitude during this. Even how he ended the hearing by yelling at her again and hanging up... is he her dad or uncle or something. Seemed like an odd dynamic
That lawyers kids are probably in middle school or higher, no crapt friends change... he's an odd ball.. Maybe he's her family member or sleeping with her... very unprofessional...
A lawyer's true colors comes out when they notice that they're losing the case and they know that their client doesn't have the money to pay them😅 You know the only reason why that lawyer took the case is because he thought it was going to be a slam dunk that the dad was going to lose and Dad was going to have to pay him some outrageous fees... Good on this court for making the mother the villain that she really is
Our courts will stop a hearing and tell you to appear in-person, if you cannot stay still on zoom. And that attorney would be held in contempt for interrupting. Dad needs an attorney BADLY to counter the mother's overbearing attorney, who addresses mother driving while ignoring that father would have to drive round trips on Thursday, Friday and Monday. Our judges would reprimand the attorney for his condescending addressing the opposing side, and if it continued, find him in contempt, and fine him. And what I consider blatant incompetence of her attorney with not being familiar with all prior orders, and recommendations, is astounding. Her attorney had no problem interrupting the father, and the judge, but when he should have stopped his client, he sat their like a ventriloquist dummy.
Yeah the attorney ducks and as no-nonsense as the judge is I'm surprised he didn't say anything about the lawyer interrupting and speaking back to the Dad.
Was that lawyer actually arguing FOR the kids to switch schools? The whole point of the family court system is to make sure the kids maintain stability. The mom doesn't get to decide unilaterally that the kids go to the school of her choice. He's arguing about how much traveling she has to do but the fact is that the dad would have to do the same thing in opposite. And for her to flat-out tell the judge "no" is just the stupidest thing she could've done. She's going to be held in contempt now. Since it's obvious that she has a habit of kidnapping the kids and not returning them, going so far as to refuse a judge, they might bump her down to supervised visitation. Don't ever say no to a judge.
I really hope she does get bumped to supervised visits. It's BS that she keeps pulling this kidnapping garbage and going against the court. That would be a HUGE red flag if I were an officer of the court.
The “atty” for mom is talking about interrupting? The crap that the atty is talking about has NOTHING to do with the CURRENT situation. The atty has access to the courts to retrieve his OWN copies. That’s bs .
I'M SAYING!!! FRICKIN HYPOCRITE! That plus complaining about Mom driving when SHE moved away, assueing the Dad the kids were taken care of in the am by SCHOOL, when he admitted to not knowing the times to any "latchkey" programs. Didn't even have the file. What a wreck.
I like that this judge isnt messing around! Nice to see Dad get a win!! *Drives me nuts when people walk around while on zoom! I pace when im on the phone too but its so distracting on video!
She really didn't think when taking this new "better" job. Staying local would have saved all this travel time BS. Did she even ask her lawyer before moving? And there needs to be a better solution for pick up and drop off. If she doesn't want to see his girlfriend, then perhaps she needs to pay for a court appointed person to be at the police station to take the kids from her and once she leaves the police station, then the girlfriend can come in and get them.
her lawyer is a rotten burg all right. nasty, rude, told his own client to shut up and wasnt prepared. If she wanted to add input they should've discussed beforehand on that but i doubt they talked at all.
I never thought I’d live to see it, but someone pro se heat an attorney. This lawyer’s just pissed because the dad did things right and he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground
The mom isnt pulling her weight. Hes trying to advocate for her but shes not communicating with him. Shes not communicating with thenfriend of the court. Shes not communicating with the father. Shes fighting with the judge. You cant help people if they're not willing to help themselves.
@@supernova743 I get what you’re saying, but this attorney straight up sucks too. “The father’s hands aren’t clean. I don’t know if my client has done what was asked of her, but I don’t know if he’s done it either”. The lawyer was outmaneuvered by an annoying dumb dude. He should go ahead and turn in his law license
"Attorney" Rotenberg not only has zero respect for either client, the process, or courtroom decorum, but he CLEARLY has ZERO respect for the Judge himself! Who tf does he really think he is?! His demeanor and behavior is despicable!
This lawyer complaining that the father isnt giving the lawyer copies or trying to bring up things not before the court. Then goes on to try to bring the whole school thing.
Man her lawyer is a real peace of work. Funny how he tries to say he doesnt get motions, yet switched around it doesnt work that way. Lawyer even admitted it.
What a disaster! They bought themselves a ticket to NEVER be extended the privilege of appearing via Zoom. They better get ready for in-person hearings ALL THE TIME now. Judges are getting damn sick and tired of people who disrespect the proceedings like this couple.
That attorney is so unprofessional. He apparently doesn't have pertinent information about his client so he turns it around on the father. He acts like he gets paid by the word and is a big 'blowhard' where his peers probably see him coming and walks the other way.
If I was a Judge I would make sure that people understand that I will not tolerate: smoking, vaping, walking around...... simple rules that they would have to obey if in court!
@@sagetubing it has everything to do with it. He cannot pick up at 6, when the mother wants it. He still wants time with his kids so he sends the girlfriend. He offered and said earlier than 6 he could and she fought that, seems like she either wants to fight him or she just wants the okay to keep the kids from him. The father in this case was trying to see his kids, your argument is essentially he shouldn't get to because he works... That's a worse situation for the kids.
I didn't understand. If mum was recommended to have the children alternate weekends what would they go to school near her. Did she move them so they lived with her instead because they went to school near her?
We have a Case UPDATE:

Judge is not playing. Every time she says "respectfully," you know she's not going to be respectful at all.

Any time someone says “to be honest, with all honesty, truthfully” you know it’s going to be followed with a lie. “Respectfully” and “with all due respect” are the same.

Chelseas attorney deeply resents her 😂 The first time he was about to say “Shut up Chelsea!” Good for dad but they both sound childish. Gotta love your kids more than you hate your ex.

How about the mum moves back to where the school is and SHE alone drives the long journey to and from work, rather than forcing her children to change schools because SHE unilaterally decided to take a job miles away from her childrens' school and their father!
Because she thought she could get away with it.
@@jonathanjones3126 Yup. I'm so glad this Judge didn't let her get away with it, though.
@@doilysimpkin6972 At least the Judge got it right this time 👍
She’s too selfish and she doesn’t really care about her children. She just wants to make everything difficult for the father because she is selfish and immature
@@lynngallagher7456this is how my ex is. It’s so aggravating.
Having gone through something like this I can honestly say parents need to love their children more than they hate their ex-partners
Could somebody please stop this father from moving. It's driving me nuts and making me dizzy.
You're watching a recording. Who is supposed to stop him after the fact?
Don’t watch than. You don’t control a man
Omg, why doesn't the judge ask the father to sit down and keep the camera still. He is in court just walking around!
Because he was rebutting the opposing counsel’s lies.
No walking around during court. Unless he wants to appear in person.
Judge almost always has his head down too so I doubt he pays much attention to it.
Theres no rule that you have to sit. Most judges will ask you to though. Basically if the judge is okay with it then its acceptable.
@@supernova743 Well when you go to court in person there are very specific rules where you either have to sit or stand at a podium.
Wow that is one of the worst lawyers I have ever seen.
Have you seen the older female lawyer from Judge Simpson's court room?
Omg I swear we could all practice law better than her.
As soon as she opened her mouth, I immediately knew why she is now a single mother!🤦🏾♂️
Mom’s lawyer is such a jerk
THIS judge to rule in favor of the father just knocked the earth off its axis. Plagues and isolation to follow...
🤯🤯
Right?! And not a continuance down to the next judge
@aztec0112 Too late! The plague, Chelsea, had ALREADY appeared!
Cats and dogs living together! 😮
Everybody get right with God.
The way that lawyer addresses his client is dreadful! He’s horrible!
How unprofessional! And he lost!
He is so rude. Definitely believes he's an entitled lawyer. He needs to realize that this is just a job!!!!
He’s not court appointed?
@megcarlson5692 You're rught. The attorney was awful, but his client did give him much to work with.
@@MariaMaynard-yg8gyThey don’t provide lawyers for custody cases. It’s not a criminal case.
Maybe his a relative!
I feel for Michael, he is trying. Mad respect. F that dirty attorney
I love how the lawyers making fun of him or judging him for not being able to afford a freaking attorney. Sorry, not everybody has thousands of dollars for an attorney.At least he's still fighting for his kids.😮
I'm in his position now unfortunately for the past 2yrs
@@KeysAve3 so sorry. Stay strong..your kids will know
How is the lawyer “dirty”? He’s just representing his client. The lawyer didn’t make fun of the ex-husband for not being able to afford a lawyer; he pointed out that the ex-husband has to follow the rules, including the rule that requires a party to deliver a copy of all court documents to the other party. Plus, I think you’re giving the ex-husband way more credit than he deserves. He was sending his girlfriend to pick up the kids. They’re both behaving badly. Neither one of them has any sense of decorum or civility. They’re both really angry. It’s a bad situation, and their behavior is making it worse.
@@erzabetf9544 The thing doesn't say he has to, he even said it was because he was at work when he was allowed to get them. You want to say bad? The mom would take an hour + to get the kids.
I so hope she doesn't show up in court as ordered. The look on her face when the judge orders primary custody to dad will be priceless. Then when she has to start paying child support will be the cherry on top. Mother is used to stomping her feet and getting her way. This judge will teach her a life lesson about such an attitude if she doesn't show up in court with the children.
She thought she could tell the judge no? She might have to jail...
I hope they make a part too because I want to know how long she went to jail after she said she's not showing up in person!!! And not turn over the children
I hope, for the sake of the children, she showed up.
These kids don't need to be pawns in this BS.
I want to be on the father’s side but he needs to be still for court! The judge should be more strict on making people act the same way on zoom that they would in person.
So moving around means you can't be a good father? Lol I swear you all worry about the wrong thing. If the judge was bothered by it he would have said something. Smh
Some judges do
@@JanaLynneJ not sure how you interpreted that by my comment. I’m just saying him walking around the whole time was highly annoying is all.
@@bkim412 you started your statement with "I want to be on the fathers side but...." you say that as if him moving around somehow stops him from being a good parent. Who cares if it's annoying that's not the focus the kids are!
I would absolutely NEVER hire that attorney after seeing his performance in this hearing. Any attorney that yells at me to shush like is a hell no. It's clear he is in it in the interest of his own ego and winning, not in the interest of his client. Shameful.
Her attorney seems like he just fumbling through this... and the "shush" to his own client proves he really wasn't ready for this today.. 13:27 fire his ass. $10 says she asked her attorney before she moved and he told her it would be ok because it was under 100 miles.. he just wasn't expecting the judge to push back on the issue.
17:08 is when it finally gets good! Personally I don't like court hearing by zoom. I believe it allows people to be too casual and gets them into an issue like this.. in court I doubt she would have this type of outburst.
I've seen Rotenberg in other videos, he's a clown, a joke and an absolute embarrassment.
Shushing his client is actually good lawyering. Too many clients say stupid things that end up harming their case.
@@gribble2979 Agreed but it's his whole attitude during this. Even how he ended the hearing by yelling at her again and hanging up... is he her dad or uncle or something. Seemed like an odd dynamic
That lawyers kids are probably in middle school or higher, no crapt friends change... he's an odd ball.. Maybe he's her family member or sleeping with her... very unprofessional...
I wish the father would stop moving around! He’s making me dizzy!😂😂
I had to scroll to see if anyone else had the same complaint! He literally gave me motion sickness 🤣
You can tell how nervous dad is. Dads rarely win. He is walking off his activation. I’m glad he wins.
Wow, this Judge finally sees a Dad has purpose and this Mom is just mad Dad moved on!
Good thing both "parents" are mature enough to raise children. 😐 Why is it so difficult to use some sort of birth control to avoid this garbage??!!!!!
For freakin real!! 🤦🏻♀️
That requires thinking of the distant future and not just the next 5 minutes...or less. Ha ha ha 😇
Seriously! Both seem just awful
@c.s.7266 The only way THAT would have worked was if it had started the PREVIOUS generation!😒
Yeah your generation really screwed their generation up.
As obnoxious as the mother is, I would NEVER allow my lawyer to talk to me the way he does to her. What a schmuck.
A lawyer's true colors comes out when they notice that they're losing the case and they know that their client doesn't have the money to pay them😅
You know the only reason why that lawyer took the case is because he thought it was going to be a slam dunk that the dad was going to lose and Dad was going to have to pay him some outrageous fees...
Good on this court for making the mother the villain that she really is
I hope the mother in this case goes to jail for telling the court that she's not showing up at 3:00 p.m. with the kids...
Wow!! That was so refreshing to see!
Loved the outcome! Way to go judge! ❤
Mom should have complied with FOC investigation. That was a big fumble on her part.
She didnt have to. But that is obviously going to make it harder to get her way.
@@mvpfocus👏👏👏
The additional info boxes in this video answered quite a few questions I've had and not looked up as yet. Thanks for the info!
Our courts will stop a hearing and tell you to appear in-person, if you cannot stay still on zoom. And that attorney would be held in contempt for interrupting. Dad needs an attorney BADLY to counter the mother's overbearing attorney, who addresses mother driving while ignoring that father would have to drive round trips on Thursday, Friday and Monday. Our judges would reprimand the attorney for his condescending addressing the opposing side, and if it continued, find him in contempt, and fine him. And what I consider blatant incompetence of her attorney with not being familiar with all prior orders, and recommendations, is astounding. Her attorney had no problem interrupting the father, and the judge, but when he should have stopped his client, he sat their like a ventriloquist dummy.
Yeah the attorney ducks and as no-nonsense as the judge is I'm surprised he didn't say anything about the lawyer interrupting and speaking back to the Dad.
Was that lawyer actually arguing FOR the kids to switch schools? The whole point of the family court system is to make sure the kids maintain stability. The mom doesn't get to decide unilaterally that the kids go to the school of her choice. He's arguing about how much traveling she has to do but the fact is that the dad would have to do the same thing in opposite. And for her to flat-out tell the judge "no" is just the stupidest thing she could've done. She's going to be held in contempt now. Since it's obvious that she has a habit of kidnapping the kids and not returning them, going so far as to refuse a judge, they might bump her down to supervised visitation. Don't ever say no to a judge.
I really hope she does get bumped to supervised visits. It's BS that she keeps pulling this kidnapping garbage and going against the court. That would be a HUGE red flag if I were an officer of the court.
I drive my kids half hour to school every day and half hour back home you do what you have to do
Guess the mom should have responded to the case worker. Good judge!
This judge and Rotenberg always get into it 😆
Rotenburg is a bit unprofessional and messy. He was on my nerves 😂
Maybe Rotenburg should stop being a colossal douche.
I said the same! It’s a hoot!
I cannot figure out who Rotenberg works for and I am 8 minutes in. Both he and the mother are constantly interrupting the judge.
U answered it urself. Mother and lawyer interrupts...... BINGO
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yo!!! I was so confused to! It definitely isn't made clear that's for sure.
The “atty” for mom is talking about interrupting? The crap that the atty is talking about has NOTHING to do with the CURRENT situation. The atty has access to the courts to retrieve his OWN copies. That’s bs .
I'M SAYING!!!
FRICKIN HYPOCRITE!
That plus complaining about Mom driving when SHE moved away, assueing the Dad the kids were taken care of in the am by SCHOOL, when he admitted to not knowing the times to any "latchkey" programs.
Didn't even have the file. What a wreck.
Yes he does but court rules require all opposing counsel must be served a copy of all filings.
These people should be made to sit down and be still. 😢
Is her lawyer a relative of hers ? He told her to hush . They must have a close relationship .
Based on what a hot mess he is, I'm guessing he's Uncle Stevie who got his juris doctorate online.
The way the lawyer speaks to mom sounds like he knows her on a personal level.
I like that this judge isnt messing around! Nice to see Dad get a win!! *Drives me nuts when people walk around while on zoom! I pace when im on the phone too but its so distracting on video!
MAKE DAD SIT DOWN
She really didn't think when taking this new "better" job. Staying local would have saved all this travel time BS. Did she even ask her lawyer before moving? And there needs to be a better solution for pick up and drop off. If she doesn't want to see his girlfriend, then perhaps she needs to pay for a court appointed person to be at the police station to take the kids from her and once she leaves the police station, then the girlfriend can come in and get them.
her lawyer is a rotten burg all right. nasty, rude, told his own client to shut up and wasnt prepared. If she wanted to add input they should've discussed beforehand on that but i doubt they talked at all.
This hearing was out of control. All these people need to be in person from now on.
It is nice to see a judge who isn't coddling some grown ass toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
Her attorney yelled SHUT UP!! 😂😂😂 That was funny!! 😂😂
when her own lawyer shushed her you knew she was losing and he was trying to shut her up before she made it worse
I never thought I’d live to see it, but someone pro se heat an attorney. This lawyer’s just pissed because the dad did things right and he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground
The mom isnt pulling her weight. Hes trying to advocate for her but shes not communicating with him. Shes not communicating with thenfriend of the court. Shes not communicating with the father. Shes fighting with the judge. You cant help people if they're not willing to help themselves.
@@supernova743 I get what you’re saying, but this attorney straight up sucks too. “The father’s hands aren’t clean. I don’t know if my client has done what was asked of her, but I don’t know if he’s done it either”. The lawyer was outmaneuvered by an annoying dumb dude. He should go ahead and turn in his law license
@@mvpfocus exactly.
DUDE LITERALLY STARTS OUT PICKING HIS EAR. DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND HOW COURT WORKS?
Dang... we really need to see the next hearing in this case!
Right! Did she show?
@@hunnyteacher That's what I want to know!😀
@@djjones7226 there is an update. No she didnt. And she doesnt get in trouble.
"Attorney" Rotenberg not only has zero respect for either client, the process, or courtroom decorum, but he CLEARLY has ZERO respect for the Judge himself! Who tf does he really think he is?! His demeanor and behavior is despicable!
I wish people on zoom would stay still and not walk around.
This lawyer complaining that the father isnt giving the lawyer copies or trying to bring up things not before the court. Then goes on to try to bring the whole school thing.
Good call your honor! A parent should never send a BF or GF to pick up another person's child/children.
Finally a judge that holds woman responsible to court orders.
She gets a free lawyer. Dad is hung out to dry.....
Another biased court against the father.
??????🤔
The father acts like a child..
How do you know its free? How did you know the dad requested one?
about gosh darned time!
Man her lawyer is a real peace of work. Funny how he tries to say he doesnt get motions, yet switched around it doesnt work that way. Lawyer even admitted it.
What a disaster! They bought themselves a ticket to NEVER be extended the privilege of appearing via Zoom. They better get ready for in-person hearings ALL THE TIME now. Judges are getting damn sick and tired of people who disrespect the proceedings like this couple.
please tell these people to stop moving around. they are in court
Why dont these judges order the parties to stand still?!! Would they allow them to talk and walk around the courtroom?!
Damn that attorney is pissing me off😅
Get her Judge
I like this judge he’s excellent
That attorney is so unprofessional. He apparently doesn't have pertinent information about his client so he turns it around on the father. He acts like he gets paid by the word and is a big 'blowhard' where his peers probably see him coming and walks the other way.
Why can’t that guy just sit down. He must have walked a mile circling his house. So distracting
We need an update on this case as soon as its available
Update is available: it's the latest video on the channel
She is not going to show and they are not going to do anything
Warrant out for her arrest
Drives me crazy when they are walking around, they wouldn’t do that in live court.
I wanna know if she showed up!
Her/my children... OUR children. You must learn to love your children more than you hate your ex.
So very awful to exchange the kids at a police station 😢 been there, it was terrible.
Excellent decision by the Judge.
Love the context provided at the 0:22 mark. Thank you!
Two parents that have no business being parents.
Best comment!!!
What the hell did that dad do except show up for court? Wtf is wrong with you?
@@Extraxi274Right I keep seeing comments saying dad toxic but mom/lawyer both f'd up
If I was a Judge I would make sure that people understand that I will not tolerate: smoking, vaping, walking around...... simple rules that they would have to obey if in court!
sending your partner to pick your children up is so annoying. these people hate each other more than they love their children.
@@mvpfocus your comment has nothing to do with mine.
@@sagetubing it has everything to do with it. He cannot pick up at 6, when the mother wants it. He still wants time with his kids so he sends the girlfriend. He offered and said earlier than 6 he could and she fought that, seems like she either wants to fight him or she just wants the okay to keep the kids from him. The father in this case was trying to see his kids, your argument is essentially he shouldn't get to because he works... That's a worse situation for the kids.
@@aregolas no it doesn’t.
I didn't understand. If mum was recommended to have the children alternate weekends what would they go to school near her. Did she move them so they lived with her instead because they went to school near her?
