If a child support judge doesn't keep accurate records of a hearing, what is the proper way to handle this situation? I already have transcripts and hearing dates that the judge denies ever took place.
Where are you in the Hearing Stage ?
Has there been a Finding Of Facts entered yet , and a Ruling ?
As you have found out you can get a copy of the records of Proceedings .
At one particular Hearing , the Judge Let me have the File . He stated I could review the files and make copies of anything I wanted to use in the proceedings. He gave me about 20 minutes outside the Hearing room , before he recalled the case .
Of course you can go to the records room a head of time and do the same thing , with proof of ID and the docket/Index number , to prepare .
THEN , you argue your case ( if the Examiner denies something exist ) , show them the record ( and request the Court/examiner to take Judicial Notice Of the Record(s).
The examiner will have NO choice but to Notice them . HE HE I fought tooth n Nail . He finally had no choice but to recognize them .
2) After receiving the Findings of Facts and rulings Order from the Examiner , you have ( 30 Days ) , to write a line by line Written Objections to the rulings . Based on the evidence presented ( no new ones ). Plus many times the hearing is recorded , and you could object to some rulings that were recorded in your written objection.
If the ( 30 day ) time frame has expired , the rulings and findings of Facts are entered into record and stand .
