Filing a motion to impound records aims to keep certain documents confidential, not to hide them from the judge. If false information is used, you can file a motion to reconsider, providing proof of inaccuracies.

I have some questions about the opposing party filing motions to impound records and to strike exhibits in a child support case in Chicago Illinois cook county What exactly are they doing are they trying to keep that from the judge also
Hello Alisa, filing a motion to impound records usually implies they want to keep certain documents confidential. On the other hand, a motion to strike exhibits typically means they're seeking to remove certain evidence from consideration. Both tactics can influence what information is available to the judge.
So for example the opposing party filed a motion to impound records Buy falsely stating in the motion That’s what are respondents bank statements provide personal routing number that is not true and also falsely state in the motion that cashiers checks are also providing the respondents personal account and routing number when that isn’t true neither And the judge presiding over this case grants them their motion to impound records without ever even looking at the evidence meaning the judge did not even view the records but granted their motion based on their lies in their motion
If you believe the motion was based on false information, you may file a motion to reconsider. This allows the court to review the decision. Remember:
- Filing should be done promptly.
- You must demonstrate an error in the court's judgement.
- Illinois courts require motions to reconsider to be filed within 30 days of the order.

This is general advice, consult with a lawyer for specific guidance.

How can a child support charge that is supposed to make rulings and decisions based on actual documented evidence grant the opposing parties motion to impound records without ever looking at them

It's recommended to consult a local attorney for further guidance.
For example the opposing party falsely stated in their motion to impound records that some of the exhibits showed the respondents account number and routing number when that is not accurate and I have copies to prove it but the judge without any hesitation or asking or giving me time to respond expedited and granted their motion to impound records what is that saying as what can that be considered as were seen as

Could that also be seen as the judge
Alisa, it seems like you're asking if the judge's actions could be considered improper or biased. Is that correct?
Call Dad also be seeing as the Judge is bias against the pro Se petitioner As she has not taken into consideration or expedited any of the motions that I have filed in the best interest of the children involved in this case but the judge did expedite and grant the opposing party their motion to impound records based on false information
If you believe the judge is biased, you may file a motion to recuse them from your case. In Illinois, a judge should be recused if they show prejudice or bias. However, proving bias can be challenging. Consider consulting a legal professional for guidance.
I just want to know can that be considered as bias or is it seeing as bias
If you feel a judge's actions demonstrate bias, it might be perceived as such. However, proving judicial bias is complex and often requires showing a pattern of unfair decisions. You may file a motion for recusal, but it's recommended you seek legal counsel to navigate this process.
I don’t believe it’s complicated meaning if I have all the court orders that the judge has repeatedly granted the opposing party four month out hearing dates for baseless motions has repeatedly made rulings and opposing parties favor has granted the opposing parties motion to impound records also based on false information All while all the motions I have filed in the children’s best well-being and presented actual documented evidence were not looked at or considered I believe that makes the judge Bacchus and I believe that also proves that she is bias
If you believe the judge has shown a pattern of bias, you may file a motion to recuse the judge. The motion must include:
- Specific instances of bias
- The effect it had on your case
- Any supporting evidence
Remember, consult a legal professional for advice tailored to your situation.
It has impacted the three children that are involved in this case
I understand your concern, Alisa. Could you please tell me more about how the judge's alleged bias has impacted the welfare of the children involved? This information might be useful if you decide to file a motion to recuse the judge.
I have already filed a motion to substitute the judge for cause provided copies of all the judges orders providing direct proof that The motions filed in the best interest of the children were put on the back burner by the judge The overwhelming documented evidence provided to the judge were never viewed but the judge did expedite and Grant the opposing party their motion to to impound records I have also provided a list of all the documents I hate personally delivered to the judge that she never looked at I also provided documented evidence of the impact on the three teenagers involved in this case
It seems like you've taken important steps to address your concerns. If the motion to substitute the judge is denied, you might consider appealing. Remember, it's crucial to consult with a legal professional to understand your options fully.

- Continue documenting instances of perceived bias.

I had an attorney who made things worse sir who tried to stop me from filing a motion to reconsider stating that the judge will not like being told that she made her ruling based on false information
I understand your situation, Alisa. It can be difficult when you feel your case is not being handled fairly. Can you provide more details on why your attorney advised you against filing a motion to reconsider?
My attorney stated that I should not file a motion to reconsider right after the judge made a ruling based on false information provided from the opposing party my attorney at that time no I had overwhelming documented evidence to prove that opposing party intentionally lied But still told me not to file a motion to reconsider as the judge will not like that so I fired him and filed a motion to reconsider
It sounds like a challenging situation, Alisa. It's good that you're taking action. Remember, a motion to reconsider is your right if you believe the court's decision was made based on false information. Keep pushing for what you believe is right for your case.
After I filed my motion to reconsider within the timeframe and also provided overwhelming documented evidence to judge never even took a look at the documented evidence but did state to me about the motion to reconsider that it is not her problem that my attorney at that time did not consult with me about excepting her ruling as the ruling was made between my attorneys opposing parties attorney and the judge in the back chambers
That sounds frustrating, Alisa. Can you tell me more about the ruling that was made in the back chambers? Were you given a chance to contest it?
The opposing parties attorney submitted a six page pretrial memorandum to the court that was based on intentional false information as everything in the preacher memorandum was an accurate and I had documented evidence that the opposing party is lying the judge made a ruling in the best interest of the opposing party and not the three teenagers involved in the case shut the opposing party literally got away with hiding his actual employer as he provided his ex employers information for wage withholding got away with over $* he receives under the table which I also have documented evidence for Got away with everything as the ruling was made on November *, * I have not received one single child support payment since then I have tried to bring it to the judges attention that the respondent lied and that there’s no money coming for the children but it’s as I’m talking to myself

My question now is that I filed a motion to substitute the judge four cause as she has proven that she is bias and favors the opposing party and his attorney For reasons that after I filed my motion to reconsider within the timeframe after the ruling she allowed the opposing parties attorney who for some odd reason appeared before the judge two days before my hearing for the motion to reconsider Striked my motion to reconsider hearing gave the opposing party a hearing date four months out for a baseless motion to dismiss also filled with false information granted expedited and granted the opposing party their motion to impound records also based on false information since then I have filed a motion to expedite the proceedings in the children’s well being the judge put it on the back burner I filed a motion to hold the respondent in contempt it was stricken Which is alarming as this judge being a child support charge is supposed to be taking the children’s best interest at heart not the respondents this judge does not wanna look at documented evidence as she stated but seems to be setting hearing dates and granting motions based on false information
I understand your frustration, Alisa. The steps you've taken are valid. Given the complexity of your case, consider:

So I don’t understand one thing why do I have to appear before the judge I am trying to substitute for cause Before she allows another judge to make that decision for the substitution that doesn’t make sense to me
That can be confusing, Alisa. In Illinois, a judge you're trying to substitute usually has to decide on the motion first. If they deny it, another judge will review it. This is to prevent misuse of substitution motions. Does that answer your question?
So you mean that the judge mentioned in my motion for substitution can actually deny my motion before handing it over to another judge to make a decision
Yes, Alisa. In Illinois, the judge you're trying to substitute typically makes the initial decision on the motion. If denied, a different judge would review it. This process helps ensure the motion isn't misused.

Yes, Alisa. If the judge denies your motion for substitution, it should then be reviewed by a different judge. It's designed this way to ensure fairness in the court system.
But what if the other judge also denies it even though there’s overwhelming documented evidence that the judge I’m trying to change is bias
If the motion to substitute is denied by both judges, you can:
- Appeal the decision in the Appellate Court.
- File a complaint with the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board.
- Consult with a legal professional for further guidance.
So for example I have a hearing date set for tomorrow what the judge mentioned in my motion for substitution and for example she denies my motion She still needs to automatically hand that motion over to another judge without me having to file something again
Yes, Alisa. If the judge denies your motion for substitution, it should be automatically handed over to another judge for review. You do not need to file the motion again. This is part of the process to ensure fairness.
Well if this judge that is mentioned in My motion denies it it just proves that she is actually bias and does not have the children’s best interest
