Hon. J. Channing Bennett (Marion)
Extremely biased and favoritist toward the state. Opposing party didn't answer a motion for PI for 50 days, and the court initiated ex parte communications and asked, "hey, are you going to answer? Or should we grant the motion?" Court also stonewalled me when I tried to get it scheduled 24 days after filing, "Time hasn't run for their reply yet". Yes it did. 10 days ago. Judge grants opposing state counsel extensions without just cause (state admitted, "we overlooked it. Didn't see the documents till just now. We confirm that it was served. Our mistake." Since when did "negligence" and "just" mean the same thing? Judge also rejects requests to appear remotely even though he "MUST" grant it if asked. Do yourself a favor and file a motion to disqualify the second you see his name is assigned to your case.

If you protect a child you are literally on trial in this judges courtroom. The more assets you may have the harsher the penalties he will order on you. He often does not write an opinion of how he came to his decision. Children of a credible age are not heard in his courtroom.

It is unfortunate when a Judge who comes to a case at the tail end of it allows bias planted by the opposing council to influence how they treat a defendant. Or like in my case the Judge mistakes a defendants desperation & pleas as them being combative and non cooperative. When what is actually going on is a horrible injustice that has been allowed to go on and on and had the judge simply asked the defendant or asked herself what was going she would have been able to step in and assure that a person the system failed so egregiously could start to have an actual shot at experiencing justice. Brantley obvious signs of misconduct and law violations but you did nothing but speak down to the victim. That’s a failure in your duties and that failure causes harm. sometimes like in this case that means putting the already victimized individual through more unnecessary punishment.

A horrible biased Judge who refused to look at evidence that was unbiased and would have ended a definitively. Chose her admitted failed memory to still guide her in what she believed to happen.She insults and minimizes people. Rude rude rude.

Favors putting children in the care of a convicted woman abuser. He broke my face when he punched me in it and he has my baby he burned and bruised my autistic son and admitted to it on text and the judge wouldn't even look at it. He doesn't want to hear anything a poor woman with no attorney has to say only the abusers high priced attorney that mommy and daddy paid for. terrible judge and from the sounds of him he is not a good person either . I hope my case gets moved to a different courtroom. It's like being abused by someone all over again. He won't listen to any proof of the mens character or even allow questions that refer to his character. how often this abuser has even cared for the child changed a diaper fed the child properly. only puts down and uses scare tactics to get abused women to agree to anything he or the man asks for.

Worse judge in the state. Will not listen to simple reason. Decides matters before he knows the facts.

She's an amazing judge! She is kind and very thoughtful. She rules with a big heart. I'm glad to have her as my judge in all my cases.

He let my ex husband kidnapp my kids then deliberately dragged out our court hearings then at the trail said I was innocent of all my ex accused me of but since time had already been established it wouldn't be in the kids best interest to uprooted them again so my ex got full custody. But they did nothing about the fact they were uprooted from me who had full custody for their entire life. This judge is a disgrace

As a mother fighting to protect my children, I am appalled by Judge Charles Bailey’s decisions and conduct in family court. He disregarded overwhelming evidence of abuse and trauma, ignored the professional recommendations of therapists and evaluators, and forced my children into unsafe situations under the guise of “reunification.” Worse, he dismissed my attempts to advocate for their safety as “alienation” and used his position to coerce me into agreeing to rulings that went against every piece of evidence supporting my case. Judge Bailey’s actions have caused irreparable harm to my family, and it is clear he prioritizes personal biases and outdated ideologies over the well-being of the children who depend on him for protection. His court is no place for vulnerable families seeking justice.
