ManishaBhatt

She has prolonged my case by not holding the other side accountable for violating her rulings. She cannot make decisions and delegates work onto others when the decision can be made by her thus delaying my case and time with children. Behaviors do not and will not stop unless people are held accountable for violating them. She also does not like to take evidence and does not appear to read everything thoroughly. She is always rushing and said she doesn’t have time…she is ruining and contributing to delays by not being able to make an informed decision on her own.

Haven’t seen children in two years, contempts were not taken seriously and there were no consequences and found not guilty for continuously violating orders!

She's currently the judge over seeing our case. So far, she seems fair and kind. She listened to both sides and asked appropriate questions. She didn't seem to show favoritism towards either side, which honestly, is great. Family court in MA has caused me such anxiety due to my former spouse using it to as a means of control and harm towards our children. However, I have hope after our interactions with her as our judge.

Judge Manisha Bhatt – Currently presides over my ongoing case. She denied requests to hear testimony from a witness with firsthand knowledge of the children’s living situation, allowed the children’s father and guardian to obtain Brazilian passports and travel internationally with the children over my objection, and denied my request for regular weekly phone contact with my daughters.

She’s the one who allowed my son to just not come home. She never ordered anything there was no due process and it was on a contempt that I filed against my sons father a week after he stopped coming to my house.
