I was wondering if you can explain what happens at a hearing for substitution for cause of a Chicago Illinois county child support judge as the hearing is set To be heard by the judge mentioned in the motion for substitution
Hello Alisa, in a hearing for substitution for cause:
- The motion is presented to the court.
- The party seeking substitution must prove the judge is prejudiced against them.
- The judge in question typically won't rule on the motion.
- The decision is made by a different judge.
Please consult a legal professional for specific advice.
I understand that the judge in question is not the one making the ruling but I still need to present it to the Mention judge first what will she say
Hello Alisa, the Mention judge will typically review your motion and the evidence you've presented. They may ask clarifying questions, but they aren't the one to make a final decision on your motion for substitution. They will forward it to another judge for a ruling.
Can you give me examples of what she will ask me
The Mention judge might ask you:
*. Can you explain the specific instances that led you to believe the judge is biased?
*. What evidence do you have to support these claims?
*. Have you discussed this issue with the judge in question?
Remember, these are just examples and the actual questions may vary based on the specifics of your case.
I filed a motion for a substitution of judge for cause for the fact that she made her ruling based on false information provided and a Pretre memorandum from the opposing party I filed a motion to reconsider within the timeframe plus provided overwhelming documented evidence my motion to reconsider plus the evidence provided were not looked at by the judge but the judge did grant a hearing date for the opposing party to the motion to dismiss my motion to reconsider the judge also granted the opposing party their motion to impound the records meaning the exhibits that have the documented evidence the judge did that without even looking at the evidence if she would have looked at the exhibits before granting them their motion to impound she would have seen that the opposing party is lying but she did not she said to hearing for a motion to dismiss for June *, * she did not look at any of the evidence that was personally delivered to her court room she also ordered me to hand over my daughters identific
Hello Alisa, it sounds like a complex situation. To further assist you, could you clarify what you mean by 'she also ordered me to hand over my daughters identific'?
she also ordered me to handover my daughters identity protection pin so the respondent may claim her on his taxes and judge also stated that he did not need to send any of the money he Collecting on the children he has not been supporting or providing for or even seen for * */2 years which was upsetting shocking and concerning
Hello Alisa, it seems you're facing a difficult situation. In general, judges have the authority to make decisions regarding child support and tax benefits. However, if you believe that the judge's decisions were based on false information, you may consider filing an appeal. Always consult with a legal professional for specific advice.
I filed a motion to change this judge as she is clearly bias she has not looked at any evidence proving that the respondent committed perjury she has granted them their motion to impound records again based on hearsay false information she also stated that she does not want to look at any Bank statements That would have clearly proven that the respondent intentionally lied about his monthly income does judge does not have the best interest of the children prioritized she has the respondents interest prioritized
Hello Alisa, I understand your frustration. In general:
- Judges should be impartial and base decisions on presented facts.
- If you believe the judge was biased, you can file a motion for recusal or substitution.
- The success of your motion may depend on the evidence you provide to support your claim.
Please consult your lawyer for the next steps.
Anyways my motion to reconsider clearly stated that the respondent completely neglected the children financially and emotionally for over * */2 years Also provided overwhelming documented evidence to prove my statements in the motion to reconsider the judge didn’t even pay attention to any of that but she did pay attention to the respondents false statements in their motion to impound records which she granted based on false information
Hello Alisa, I understand your concerns. If you believe the judge has ignored factual evidence and favored false claims, you can:
- Appeal the decisions
- Present your concerns at the substitution hearing
- File a complaint with the Judicial Inquiry Board in Illinois
Always seek advice from a legal professional in your area.
In my opinion I believe that a child support judge receives a motion to reconsider within the timeframe after her ruling informing her that she made a ruling based on false information and providing her with overwhelming documented evidence of the children were neglected emotionally and financially and her ruling based on lies has caused further harm to the children and on top of that she was ordering me to hand over my daughters pin so the respondent can claim her and benefit stating that he does not need to send any of that money towards the children was a clear indication she does not have the children’s best interest prioritized
Hello Alisa, I understand your frustration and concerns. If you truly believe that the judge was biased and disregarded your evidence, you should:
- Present this issue at your upcoming substitution hearing
- Consider filing a complaint with the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board
- Seek advice from a local legal professional.
She did disregard the evidence because she did not bother even reviewing it or looking at it being a child support judge that is her role
Hello Alisa, it seems like you're in a difficult situation. If you feel a judge has ignored crucial evidence, you may:
- Appeal the judge's decision
- Include this issue in your upcoming substitution hearing

I filed a motion to reconsider provided overwhelming documented evidence it was ignored filed a motion to hold the respondent in contempt it was ignored filed a motion that the respondent intentionally misled the court and has endangered the children’s well-being it was ignored none of those emotions having to do with the children’s well-being were prioritized or expedited by discharge she did expedite the respondents motion to impound the records and granted it without looking at the evidence as she would have seen that the respondent is lying that’s a clear indication that this judge is on the respondents side

I did to all that filing a motion for substitution which I have a hearing via zoom today to appear in front of the judge mentioned in my motion which is kind of odd to why I have to appear before her when I am trying to get rid of her and get a new judge that’s why I’m asking what is she going to say to me because I can be straightforward and clearly state to her that she has not had in my children’s best interest at heart here or prioritize
Hello Alisa, during your hearing, the judge may ask about the basis for your motion and the evidence you've presented. Always maintain professionalism and present your concerns factually. The decision on substitution will be made by a different judge. Good luck.
The evidence I provided with the motion for substitution are the court orders by this judge showing that the respondents motion to dismiss was given A four month out hearing date the respondents motion to impound records was granted expedited and granted by the judge all the motions I have filed in the best interest of the children were set on the back burner by the judge the judge has documented evidence that the respondent has been benefiting on the children by falsely claiming them on his taxes and benefiting and she’s ordering me to allow him to file my daughter so he may benefit and he does not need to give any of that money towards the children was alarming
Hello Alisa, it seems you've collected substantial evidence for your motion. During the hearing:
- Present your evidence clearly and factually.
- Explain how you believe it shows bias.
- Stay professional and focused.
Remember, a different judge will make the final decision. Good luck.
Like I said I can be straightforward I will if she does ask me I will straight out tell her that she does not have the children’s best interest prioritized as she is a child support court judge that is supposed to be prioritizing the children’s well-being not the respondents
Hello Alisa, maintaining professionalism is crucial. If asked, express your concerns factually and politely. Explain how the judge's decisions impacted the children's welfare negatively. Remember, your goal is to convince another judge of the bias, not the judge in question. Good luck.
I mean the intention of the respondent is to intentionally delay this process with their motion to dismiss which they have succeeded with this judge As she put the motion to reconsider even though they clearly stated children were neglected financially and emotionally for a long period of time she gave them a four month out hearing for a baseless motion instead of prioritizing the children’s well-being it doesn’t make sense to me why a judge what does such a thing
Hello Alisa, I can sense your frustration. If you feel the court process is being deliberately delayed, this is something you can bring up during the hearing. Always present your concerns factually and professionally. Remember to consult with a legal professional for specific strategies. Good luck.
I’ve mentioned it in all of my motions I clearly mentioned it to discharge via zoom she angrily told me that I have no right to state that the respondent is financially exploiting the children what right does this Judge have to state such a thing to me as a mother it is my job to protect my children’s well-being as she is not
Hello Alisa, I understand your concerns. During the hearing, you may want to discuss the judge's reaction to your claims about the respondent's financial exploitation of the children. Stay professional and focused on the facts. It's important to consult with a legal professional for specific advice. Good luck.
