Need help with probate in Michigan?
First of all, I have little / no legal experience and was so THANKFUL for the help provided by the staff while navigating the guardianship process. It was a daunting task and very high stakes getting a family member the help they desperately needed. Everyone was patient and helpful throughout the process and, while I intend to write a formal letter highlighting in more detail, felt compelled to share my personal experience online.
Judge Barkey is compassionate and truly cares about what is best for CHILDREN. All too often parents think that just because they created children that gives them the right to have custody. This is not always the case. Abusive, neglectful parents who dont do enough to improve themselves for the sake of their children don't deserve to raise them. Thankfully Judge Barkey gets it! She looks out for the kids and that's what judges are supposed to do!
Judge Barkey is completely ignorant dose not look at paperwork or proof is only concerned with her opinion. Ignoring the fact that children are being kept from there parent as a way to say haha showing her proof of this was no concern of hers. In a trial you are allowed to defend yourself not in judge Barkeys court she asked me one question and as I was answering she cut me off and kept cutting me off then gave her judgment. As I sat in the court room waiving stacks of paperwork and messages she and proof of my efforts she wouldn't even look at them. Judge barkey has several issues and is no longer allowed to be involved in cases concerning in laws because of her bias opinion and her own personal issues one can only assume why she is this way. How many other lives has she ruined of parents, children, grandparents and the mentally I'll. Disbarment for judge Barkey should be required by the state for her incompetence.
