Judge Rigler did everything but give the finger to the party he seemed blatantly biased against from the start. Judge Rigler acted as prosecutor, judge, jury, GAL, and M.D. His behavior was aggressive, dismissive, impatient and disrespectful. It was shocking and not what anybody would expect of a judge. Is this why Virginia refers to JD&R as “lesser” court? Because these judges do not have to act with any level of professionalism or integrity?

He mentioned his personal custodial decision and seems to retaliate against women and favor men because he doesn’t have physical custody of his kids.

Glad I'm the male..this judge degrades women and sides against them. Every father's dream; no matter what. If you're a male, get this judge; you'll win, no matter what.

Judge Rigler seemed annoyed overall with proceedings, it was frustrating for me because I finally had time to have the law on my side when my ex-husband has been cheating me and my children and I couldn't get Judge Rigler to give me time... Plus my ex-husband lied in court again. I understand the Judge's frustration with these nonsensical cases, I suppose mine included. I am only one person though, I can't harmoniously co-parent with a sociopath!
