Judge Matthew Gary family court victim describes the trauma of an illegal "no contact" child custody order, and her frustration in dealing with the court system without an attorney. Preview of an upcoming story on Sacramento Family Court News:

In an interview recorded Dec. 16, 2012, a self-represented, disabled family court litigant describes the trauma of separation from her 15-year old daughter because of a court order issued by Sacramento County Family Court Judge Matthew J. Gary. The order prohibited the mother from having any contact with her daughter. Although under state law such a drastic order requires the judge to make specific findings and record the law used by the judge in making the order, the order issued by Judge Gary is barren of the justification and legal rationale. 

The judge has issued similarly harsh and legally defective orders in other cases and court reporter transcripts show that the judge issues child custody orders as a means of punishment. Under California law, the use of child custody orders as a means to punish a parent is prohibited. The opposing attorney is Timothy Zeff. The mother is unrepresented because she cannot afford an attorney.

Sacramento Superior Court whistleblowers allege that Sacramento Federal Court judges individually and collectively are responsible for helping conceal systemic civil rights violations, honest services fraud, and RICO racketeering by Sacramento County state court family law judges and judge pro tem attorneys against indigent, financially disadvantaged and disabled pro per litigants. The 2014 documentary film Divorce Corp exposed corruption in family courts throughout the United States, and designated Sacramento County as one of the most corrupt in the country. Sacramento court reform advocates charge and have documented that, for over 10 years, the EDCA has obstructed, impeded, and dismissed federal civil rights litigation against the RICO enterprise conspirators.
