Very poor. He knowingly allowed witnesses and a state prosecutor to perjure themselves in court. Allowed state agencies to collude and illegally enter my house violating my 4 and 14 amendments.

The Judge is a lowly little bug on the windshield of life, he obscures the correct vision of any divorce, he is a distinct part of the LARGER issue and causes pain and suffering for one side of every divorce. Pain for the children is a given on every case he presides over, he was a silly lawyer who bought his way onto the bench just like Bozzuto. He has ruined my life with crazy motions and extending my divorce for over 2 years.

Generally a terrible family court judge who does not follow case law. His discretion or whims victimize entire families, parents, children, even the dog. Cases before this judge will be very very expensive, he drags everything out, extra hearings, status conferences, billings destroy entire families. He has no remorse. He is in it for the money, does not care about the kids.

Comments:
Judge Charbonneau unfortunately represents the core problem with family court judges in our state. He essentially outsources his judicial authority to AMCs/GALs and orders whatever they may want. He does not look at, and even ignores, critical evidence in a case in a terribly biased manner. His rulings are ineffective, and seldom address the matters presented to the court. He issues draconian financial rulings when none are called for, often against a well-meaning parent who is bringing issues related to the children to the Court's attention. When my ex knowingly lied to the Court in an ex parte motion that cost my children time with me, he lectured me that lying to the court was not contempt of court and that I should stop wasting the court system's time with my complaints. He at first instructed that counsel "not go backwards in the case," then allowed my ex's attorney (also a GAL) to introduce evidence and testimony that was over five years old, and which prior judges had already ruled on.
