This judge has no common sense when it comes to Narcisstic abuse and covert abusers. He did not pay attention to the facts associated with my case involving toddlers but handed more custody over to my alcoholic abusive husband who is solely seeking custody just to hurt me. He got hung up over my tone in texts which is completely irrelevant to the best interests. I work with children as a career! Husand is an alcoholic. This judge is biased against women! Praying for a new judge on the bench and for my case. San diego Judicial system is corrput.

What these Moms commented here is exactly what I’ve see too!! [redacted by Ed.] adding even more abuse and trauma upon the real victims, by granting the abusive Fathers anything they want without ANY evidence and dragging the cases out for YEARS with no visitation to the Mothers. He does not care what psychological damage he is causing or the danger he is putting very young children in, who do not know what is normal yet. He is helping the Fathers punish the women by aiding in parental alienation by dragging cases out for years without any visitation, or only zoom visits where the Fathers get to control what everyone does and says for 30 mins, as if in a hostage situation where they are being legally kidnapped by permission of this [redacted by Ed.] judge. At this point, there’s no way to say [redacted by Ed.] But that being said, I have never seen a good judge in the Vista Court ever! There are many very amazing attorneys who have to look the other way from the judges [redacted by Ed.] and still go in every day to fight for their clients while trying to pretend something seriously wrong isn’t going on in the court system there. PLEASE!!! Get all these [redacted by Ed.]judges out of the courts because they are helping the abusers and putting our kids lives in danger. [redacted by Ed.]

Horrendous, completely incompetent, does not understand children's needs at specific ages, has no experience with young children or their attachments, and is so incredibly biased against mothers (especially if they bring allegations of abuse by the child's father-watch out!!! He will dismiss your DVRO that another judge granted, make you pay OP's attorney fees, then allow hearings to take place without your knowledge, without any declaration being served to you, and will give your very young children to their abuser 100% of the time. If you're a mother who experienced domestic violence, and brought this to Judge Torres' attention, you will not stand a chance and will very likely lose all custody, regardless of the relationship your ex has with your child, OR if ZERO evidence was produced BACKING UP ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU, all of this in the hearing you were not allowed to be at. Mr. Torres has no experience with young children and it appears he hasn't read any books or educated himself on the very basics of the developmental needs of young children (I can't speak on his competency in giving child custody orders for
Older children as my child was 1 year old. Judge Torres' was a criminal defense attorney. Civil or Criminal Law would perhaps be a better fit. Somebody MUST do something to get this man off the bench before he destroys more families and places children in unspeakable situations. He just doesn't care if nobody agrees with him, if his orders are drastic & unwarranted, or if studies show the child is very likely going to show negative behaviors & mental health issues later in life by his orders. I've witnessed his bias against mothers in other cases. He did the EXACT OPPOSITE of every single professional recommendation from FCS mediator, Pediatrician, Child Psychologists, CWS worker(s), and the child himself. These children need the CA State court's to PROTECT THEM, AND DO WHATS BEST FOR THEM! JUDGE TORRES'PLACES CHILDREN IN WITH THEIR ABUSERS, WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN CHILDREN BEING PUT THROUGH HORRIBLE & ABUSIVE SITUATIONS, and he continues making the same horrific custody orders with other cases. If you get assigned to Dept 18, file a preemptory challenge while you can and RUN! Anyone is better than Judge Torres'. He needs to come off the bench immediately, for the sake of these kids.

Judge Victor Torres is nothing but a lazy judge who rarely reads anything lodged in court. He is a woman hater who dismisses any cases that has to do with Domestic Violence/Abuse. Judge Torres could care less of the protective parent losing his/her children. Real fathers DO NOT weaponize their children but Judge Torres allows this to happen. Judge Torres, you should be ashamed of yourself for being a part of a corrupt society and for ordering my children to be with their perpetrating/abusive dad. Judge Torres- please do your research in regards to reunification therapy and reunification camps. Abusive men seek sole custody not because they want the children, but as a means to punish a woman for escaping their grip of control and abuse. You are a part of the problem in why so many protective parents have lost their children.
