Case Information: Case 24SN-DR00104 | Status: Pending

Document Content:
COMES NOW, Micheal Lawrence Salmon, Movant, and respectfully moves this Court to address multiple procedural and substantive violations occurring during the 3/27/2025 Webex hearing, including judicial misconduct, denial of due process, and failure to enforce visitation rights. In support thereof, Movant states as "follows":
1. Judicial Misconduct and Bias
The Court repeatedly misrepresented Movant�s statements on record, requiring Movant to repeat himself multiple times while the judge feigned confusion.
The Court�s behavior resulted in material distortion of the record, which may severely impact appellate review and deprives Movant of a fair hearing.

The Court disregarded prior motions and filings, forcing Movant to resubmit information that had already been placed on record, thereby delaying resolution and causing undue burden.
The Court allowed opposing counsel, Josh Garrett, to unilaterally dictate supervision terms without review or proper legal authority.
3. Failure to Enforce Custody and Visitation Rights
Movant has been wrongfully denied visitation with his child, Felix, for over two months, in direct violation of prior orders and Missouri custody laws.
The Court failed to take action despite acknowledging that Respondent, Crycella Freitag, was in violation of previous orders.
The Court�s inaction effectively condones Respondent�s noncompliance, further alienating Movant from his child and undermining the best interests of the minor.
4. Misconduct by Opposing Counsel
Opposing counsel, Josh Garrett, falsely framed a prior phone call to paint Movant in a negative light,
