Comments:
Judge Aarseth was in charge of my modification of custody case. This case was strung out from Oct. '09 til Feb '12. In this time frame my ex-husband had left our two children in the car while him and his girlfriend went into a bar and drank from 11pm til 2am, them proceeded to drive them from Anchorage to Pitman Rd. in Wasilla completely inebriated. He also was over $6,000 behind in child support, and with a long history of domestic violence, he physically assaulted our daughter. With testimony, police reports, and evidence, Judge Aarseth denied me a hearing and closed the case. Where is the justice? I thought that was why we went to court. If we can't rely on our judicial system, then who are we supposed to rely on? So as far as I'm concerned, Judge Aarseth IS in favor of child neglect and child abuse!
