Question of the Day

 

I have been informed that the judge who heard most if not all of my cases in Chesapeake JDR court in VA knows of this site. That could explain why she finally took herself off my case. She wrote about this in Benchmark newsletter for judges, however I don't remember nor have I sent her an IM.

While doing research on this person before and after this person become a judge I can only say that I find it very interesting one case that she completely ignores a father's rights completely.

What case is this; it was name Who baby is it now, in the Virginia Pilot;

"But the adoption came to a screeching halt when Melissa decided, five months after giving birth, that she could no longer keep the secret. She told her parents, Lisa and Mark Lockwood, also of Slidell. And the three of them began a battle to regain custody of the child, who is now 1.

Last week, Judge Eileen Olds of the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court granted legal custody to the Prevettes and gave the Lockwoods visitation rights. Even though the ruling settled custody for now, it did not resolve the case for good."

I ask did the father know of the baby.

"Melissa said the baby's father, her former boyfriend, Cedric Cooper, wants to be involved in raising the girl but can't afford to visit her in Virginia"

I wonder did Judge Olds take this into consideration, I say no. I have seen first-hand that fathers don't have any rights in her court, except that of paying support.

In this case there were all types of fraudulent paperwork. Did she do the right thing? One would have to wonder, if this was to happen to a son of hers, what would she do??

I guess this could explain alot about Ms Olds

I guess she think of herself as very special, since it seem she was the first in following, but doesn't mean that she is all that. It surely doesn't mean that she is fit to be a judge.

Eileen Olds, a young lawyer and president of the Chesapeake, Va., chapter of the NAACP, describes herself as a "product of integration." "I was the first black to go to my elementary school, the first black cheerleader and so on," she said, recalling the stages of development that brought her into private law practice. "I am not me because of myself," she said, "but because of the NAACP."

this is why she is the way she is.

Just another reason why she shouldn’t be a Judge.

``All the time I'm scared, I'm afraid,'' she told Juvenile Judge Eileen Olds. ``He's always coming in the house and sitting. He won't help me clean. He shakes his finger in my face, and I don't understand when he's signing. I don't understand.''

She also complained that her husband forced her to have sex and pushed her around.

Her husband pleaded guilty to an Oct. 15 assault and battery. The judge imposed a protective order but allowed the couple to continue to live together, while forbidding any ``hostile contact.'' The judge delayed ruling on the assault until June, when the couple is to return to court. In the meantime, the judge ordered the husband to take anger-management classes. The husband and wife will attend family counseling together.

So if you allow him to live in the same house then why order a PO? This one of many reasons why Judge Olds should be removed the bench.

The man seemed troubled that his marital problems had spilled into the daylight of the courtroom.

``Every time she gets with her friends there's a problem,'' he said. ``I know she's slow a little bit. I work with it. I've been working with her for seven years. If her friends would stop meddling with us, we could work this out.''

See how other affects the problems in their marriage.

A Quote from Judge Olds

Addressing the problem at the different stages of the criminal proceedings is daunting, said Eileen A. Olds, a judge in juvenile and domestic relations court in Chesapeake, Va., who is black and is president of the American Judges Association.

“There are so many levels within the process,” Judge Olds said. “You start with the police and what they are charging, and you get the magistrate, and who gets bail and who doesn’t, who gets the lawyer and who doesn’t.”

I see that she left out that fact that most of these judges don't fully pay attention to the case, like she had done many time in my cases. Where she was looking over another case file while she was to be listening to the case in front her.

Question of the Day

How can DCSE over write a Court Order?

Yes, I would like to know this myself. See my copy of my Child Support Order states that all payment are to go thru DCSE.

Now DCSE has allow my EX to close our case file with DCSE, yet the court order stands. Now I don't have a current address for my ex, so how am I to pay her direct.

I once brought this to the Judge Olds attention, She never did give me an answer. So judge.

Here we go once again

It would that my ex has decided to close our child support once again, and the DCSE has allowed her, even though it was order by Judge Olds, and another judge to gone through the DCSE no matter what.

The last time this happen I called the main office of the DCSE and spoke with someone in Nick Young office that told me if it was order by the court to go thru DCSE then only a court can close the case.

So i guess this will be my ex way to get me back in court, after a few miss payments so she can claim that i owe more then what I do.

I can only wonder it I do have to go back to court if our case will be back in front of olds. Like it was the last time she close the case for eight years then she decided that she wanted child support again.

Now she is really on a power trip.

On September 29, 2007, the Honorable Eileen A. Olds was inaugurated as the 46th President of the American Judges Association (AJA) at the Annual Conference in Vancouver, BC. This historic conference, consisting of American and Canadian judges, was the largest gathering ever of judges in North America. A joint plenary session featured Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the United States Supreme Court and Justice William Ian Corneil Binnie of the Supreme Court of Canada.

AJA is the largest independent association of judges in North America and serves as “The Voice of the Judiciary.” AJA aims to promote and improve the effective administration of justice; maintain the status and independence of the judiciary; provide continuing education for its members and the general public; and allows for the exchange of ideas amongst all judges. The membership is comprised of judges from all levels and jurisdictions.

Judge Olds began her legal profession in 1982 as a private practitioner specializing in criminal defense and domestic relations law. In 1995, she became one of two African American Judges appointed that year, and the first female judge of the First Judicial District of Virginia. She remains the only female jurist. She currently presides as a Judge of the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, having served four years as the chief judge.

This latest accolade follows an impressive list of citations, awards, and leadership positions received throughout her judicial career. Judge Olds is the first Virginian to serve as AJA’s president since its inception in 1959.
