Caused me to lose my grandaughter who is 2 years old to a father with a very long history of domestic violence. Ironic that Judge Shinholser was a member of the Domestic Violence Task Force. Did not give my daughter a postponement to get representation. We were expecting DCF's attorney to be present. Custody hearing was rushed & now my grandaughter is with a dangerous man.
