Media Glare Shining On Monmouth County Court
Monmouth County’s Court is likely to get a great deal of media attention this week…and not because of the contaminants that forced the closure of the Courthouse.
The New York Post picked up the story of Rachel Alintoff’s complaints about the way Judge Paul Escandon is handling her divorce that MMM first reported on May 9. Nine other women have come forward for the Post’s story, including one woman who fears losing any contact with her children after Escandon altered a custody agreement that had been in place for five years, thereby granting custodial rights to her mobster ex-husband who she fears will end up in the witness protection program or worse.
Alintoff told MMM that national television media outlets are calling her and the other women about their stories. She expects the women’s story to be featured on at least one network morning show this week.

Judge Escandon is guilty of judicial malfeasance – conduct by a public official that cannot be legally justified or that conflicts with the law – which is punishable by impeachment. There is a wealth of evidence to support the claims of many women that Judge Escandon has issued orders contradictory to state and constitutional laws, made rulings that violated their due process rights, and allowed ex-parte communications and other infractions by male litigants. Judge Escandon has been complicit in financially disabling women in his courtroom, rendering them defenseless, unable to afford legal representation, refusing to grant or enforce support, then awarding marital assets to husbands and stripping women of their parental rights, without cause. Judge Escandon has consistently ignored the safety, well-being and best interests of children, to rule in favor of wealthy, influential male litigants.
Impeachment is a process that was written into our constitutional law to prevent this type of abuse of power through the necessary provision of checks and balances, created to protect the people. Although it is seldom used, it is a right of the people to request it of their elected officials when warranted. The responsibility of a Family Court Judge is to oversee the dissolution of a marriage, and impartially decide on unresolved matters between parties, with the best interests of the children at the forefront. It is not his duty to exercise his power to further a political agenda, impose his personal biases on litigants, or in any way benefit from the outcome of a case. Judge Escandon’s actions are criminal and must not go unpunished.
Please contact your representatives and ask for the impeachment of Judge Paul X. Escandon. If they do not vote to impeach someone who has so arrogantly usurped his power to deliberately cause financial ruin and emotional hardship to women, while endangering children, they do not deserve to be in office, and do not deserve your vote in the next election.
Witnessed his behavior first hand recently! He needs more than a wake up call ! Impeachment good start ,criminally charged even better! The women lives that he wrecked the children that he put in harms way inexcusable ! I hope these women get rewarded for his poor Judgement ! More important he needs to be held accountable and removed from the bench in handcuffs’ !!
To everyone speaking up, bravo!!! It is about time Judge Paul Escandon is held accountable for what he is doing on the bench. How many laws, regulations and guidelines does this judge get to ignore? How many of his own laws is he going to be excused for writing and acting out on the bench? So many people have come forward, but Monmouth County Court is trying their hardest to protect Judge Escandon. They are even illegally protecting PUBLIC documents. Civil rights are be broken, Constitutional Rights are being ignored and people’s right to Due Process is completely out the window in Monmouth Court. Monmouth County Court is “the wild west” of New Jersey.
The very first sentance of the NJ State Bar Assoc Mission Statement is
To serve, protect, foster and promote the personal and professional
interests of its members.
Some people question why we didn’t just work totally within the system? The system is designed to work slowly and it favors the people who are part of it; lawyers, judges and politicians. When the health and welfare of children are at stake there is no time to allow the system to run its course. The press is part of our system. It’s the avenue to give a voice to the otherwise powerless.
Keep speaking up!!! It may take time, but there are some people that are starting to listen and when they hear all the facts, they can hardly believe what Judge Escandon has done and what he continues to do.
Matt McKenna,
Please file a complaint with the ACJC. Also contact the State Attorney General’s office and demand an investigation. Let them know his actions are deliberate and criminal.
My name is Kristen Williams, This Judge forced me to emancipate my daughter at 17 leaving me without child support or college money for my daughter and awarded my ex 3,500 dollars of said money without a hearing then had a bench warrent sent out for me. Where I was arrested and if I didn’t come up with 1,700 he was going to send me to county jail for a week. I would have lost my jobs and my daughter would be forced to be on her own while her mother was in Jail. This man is horrible and should be disbarred…Please contact me at 732 801 4216 My Name is Kristen Williams
Speak up ! I hear you. Still in the process but will be heard ! Our attorney clearly pointed out how Judge ESCANDON ignored the law on several occasions’ !! Went to the point where she said ,she wants to give up law,will do the appeal for free !!!! So we will be heard but we are not attorneys we gave them our money and I hope they fight for us because they know better than the victims how they have been abused by the Monmouth county judge !!! We are not attorneys but victims of Judge Paul Escandon! Our attorney got paid they should fight for our justice! Either way we will,soon !
Today I came across a recently printed article in the NY Post about Judge Paul X. Escandon of the Monmouth County Family Division Court System. When I read the article I felt an extreme mixture of relief and fear. I am a single mother who has been suffering from the unjust actions and rulings of Judge Escandon for some time now. His rulings have not only pushed me into a state of poverty but more importantly has put the safety and well being of my children at great risk. I had such great faith in our legal system prior to having Judge Escandon assigned to my case. Now I am afraid to continue fighting for me and my children because each ruling handed down by Judge Escandon slowly chips aways at what little hope I have left in both the law and our justice system.
Judge Escandon is someone who was appointed to apply the law and he is not . There has to be measures set in place for discontinuing his current abuse of position, power and authority. I would like to join in and help with the efforts to get Judge Escandon off the bench. Reading the article in the NY Post and viewing the blog made me realize that I am not the only victim of Judge Escandon’s unjust rulings and actions. Where I felt helpless and hopeless, I now feel empowered to fight for all of the great things our justice system really stands for. The women and children assigned to the Monmouth County Family Division under Judge Escandon will NEVER see any justice as long as he continues to sit on the bench. Judge Escandon has placed women in a position where we are afraid to fight for our children and well being, this should never be the case.
30 women and counting have come forward from my campaign to locate other women victimized by Judge Paul Escandon’s actions on the Family Court Bench
of Monmouth County Court.
Now, from the NY Post article, other women are coming forward to tell the reporter of what they are experiencing in their own county of NJ.
This is the most pure example of Democracy.
This is how you do it……
If you have been abused, denied your legal rights, are dealing with a judge who does not follow laws or guidelines, POST your story on craigslist.
Other women will contact you if they are experiencing the same thing with the same judge. There is power in numbers. This is a MOVEMENT.
This is giving a voice back to the people who elect the politicians that are responsible for these judges.
POST your story like I did with Judge Paul Escandon. Once you get 10 or more women with legitamate stories about the same judge AND proof of the illegal offenses,
contact the PRESS. The local press, news stations, bloggers, activists, etc. Keep going until your concerns are heard. Judges in NJ have to stop the abuse of power and
using craigslist is a proven method of holding judges accountable for their actions on the bench. Be strong, be vocal and be a part of this judical process.
Give the power and the voice back to the people of NJ. Speak up. Make this movement work! It works. Believe me.
My case is in Middlesex County, NJ and the same thing is being done to me. I have a 5 year old child who is being used as bait. They conceal all types of abuse and make you pay for the offender’s attorney. They further abuse the victims. I have come across many other women that are being abused under the same fraud too. If you or someone you know is in the same situation please speak up!
Juliana – So sorry to hear about your situation. Are there other women under the same Judge that is abusing you who are willing to come forward? There are so many women coming forward to speak about what Judge Paul Escandon has done to them – taking away their children without a legal hearing, bankrupting them, blinding ruling in favor of husband’s motions without a single shred of evidence to their claims. Children are at risk and their welfare is at risk under Judge Escandon. Monmouth County Court could care less. Judge Lawson is well aware of what Judge Escandon has done and yet, he ignores ALL the letters 30 women have wrote him. Judge Lawson needs to do his job.
I am struggling to see justice in my case. I am a victim of Domestic
Violence. I was issued a Final Restraining in 2010 against my ex
husband. My ex husband has violated that Order 2x’s and had been
sentenced to 2 terms of Supervised Probation (by a Judge in criminal
court). Despite that, Judge Escandon has recently ordered that I
inform my ex husband of my current physical address. He ordered this
after being informed that for my safety I had been issued a new Social
Security Number, I am enrolled in the NJ Address Confidentiality
Program and I had moved 2x’s in less than 6 months because my ex
husband kept hunting me down.
My ex has supervised parenting time and without following proper
procedures and holding the proper hearings Judge Escandon changed the
parenting time; ordering the defendant unsupervised parenting time. He
changed the parenting time arrangement even after learning that my ex
husband attempted to drink alcohol and drive the children around at a
previous supervised visit. Judge Escandon said, on the record, that he
didn’t see a problem with my ex drinking on that day. The visitation
immediately following the Judge’s order resulted in injury to our
youngest child (who has special needs) which went untreated and
resulted in a hospital visit and a report to the NJ Department of
Children and Families alledging neglect against my ex.
I am on my way to filing for bankruptcy because Judge Escandon
continues to order me to pay counsel fees for my ex, though I am
appealing his orders; he currently has me owing thousands in
attorney’s fees to my ex’s attorney. Meanwhile, he continues to deny
me attorney’s fees for attempting to enforce my Property Settlement
Agreement and gain funds that my ex currently owes to our children (he
owes thousands to our children). Judge Escandon continues to
disregard all of the evidence I have shown to support all of my claims
against my ex. He has even gone so far as to say, on the record, that
he does not like me. Further, mounting on everything is that fact that
Judge Escandon has ruled on motions in my ex husbands favor ordering
him things that he had not even requested in his papers; which is
against the law.
This is just a piece of my story!
Judge Escandon is not fit to serve the people. I have found that he
does not apply the law he instead makes up the rules as he goes along.
A mother and her children will never be safe while having Judge
Escandon as their presiding Judge. I am at the point where I have
stopped fighting because each order issued by Judge Escandon sets me
back further and further. I struggle to provide services for my
children because Judge Escandon refuses to hold my ex responsible for
his portion of expenses associated with the well being and daily lives
of our children. There has to be something that we can do! It is
impossible to believe that such a person continues to hold a seat on
the bench. I had no idea that so many women and mothers were being
subject to the same abuse that I am currently getting from Judge
Escandon. Until he is relieved of his seat, no woman will see justice
and no child will be safe.
Please add me to your list of women. I want to take part in the
efforts to relieve our families of this judge. I have proof and
transcripts of Judge Escandon’s illegal action in my case.
Judge Paul Escandon is emancipating young teenagers to assist men in evading child support obligations. If Judge Escandon has emancipated your teenager, please contact me. Several women have already contacted me concerning this issue. There is someone gathering information specifically about this unethical behavior and they want more women to come forward. Some of the children Escandon has emancipated have learning disabilities.
http://www.divorcenet.com/states/new_jersey/new_jersey_child_support_part_2
The courts have viewed education as a necessity. The recent trend in New Jersey has been to require parents to pay for the college costs for their children. Therefore, if the child is attending college, then it is very unlikely that a court will grant an emancipation motion. (This is not the case in Judge Escandon’s courtroom. He emancipates children right in the middle of college and many have had to drop out due to lack of funds to continue).
Despite numerous complaints by women, and Judge Escandon’s consistency in ignoring laws and violating rights, to favor male litigants to the detriment of innocent children, Judge Escandon has been reassigned to Monmouth County Family Court.
Apparently, our representatives and judiciary did not take our complaints seriously, or our voices were not loud enough. Contact your Senators and Assemblymen – who are supposed to represent us – particularly those on the Judiciary Committee. Let them make it clear to the people that they do not care about our children, and see if they get reelected.
Please join in our fight. We will be heard.
Here’s the latest that this corrupt, biased, prejudiced, incompetent judge has done. This will cause me irreparable harm and damages, and I don’t even currently owe any money. I have paid the alleged spousal support in advance through February, 2013. At that point, my IRA annuity will reset another 5%, and the monthly income that can be withdrawn will be about $1000/mo (vs an alleged $1160/mo obligation).
If you read the order, he has frozen all of my assets, including my checking account, and will liquidate my retirement account, and other accounts, to set up a “trust” in my ex wife’s name, to guaranty future payments.
I’m 65 years old, and he is giving her almost 20 years of an arbitrary alimony amount that was awarded in 1992 (and terminated in California in 1997), creating a major loss and tax liability for me, and depriving me of any income from my assets.
I also have had a very bad ruling from Judge Escandon. So much so that he
refused to review his decisions even though they were glaring with errors.
You are all losers, and most likely the same bitter, malcontent who uses the the internet to smear good people. Judge Escandon is a good man, who applies the law fairly. You lost your case, and now you feel that you deserve to mete out retribution against the world. Why not look at yourself? Get a job, get a life, and stop leeching off of good people.
The glare should be on Monmouth County Divorce court. It should be on HOW this was allowed to happen because Escandon is NOT the only Judge making the same kind of illegal rulings. Judge Dennis R. O’ Brien is next. On the bench for one year and ruining peoples lives. I suppose being an career insurance attorney really prepared him to be a matrimonial judge. It’s like putting a doctor on a new rotation in an area of medicine they never studied and tell them to begin making diagnoses on day 1. That is what this mandatory rotation system in New Jersey does.
Why is it that O’ Brien NEVER enforced any court orders to my husband , so my husband has learned that there are no consequences for him so why should he comply? O’Brien overturned his own order removing our children from their school without conducting a plenary hearing and with no change in circumstance, which is required by law, yet, O’; Brien ignored the law and believes he can create it instead of following it. O’ Brien has forced myself and two minor children, one with autism, onto food stamps and to receive food from the local food pantry so he can allow my husband to save for his new home. Now they are requesting that we sell our home and where are we going to go. Staying home to raise our children was a difficult but joint decision that promised I would take care of all the children needs and he would take care of ours. Now that I have been unemployed for 8 years it is unlikely I will get any reasonable employment. My husband grosses over $145,000 annually so why are we on food stamps? The fact that we qualified didn’t seem to send a message to Judge O’ Brien that what he is doing is wrong. Court imposed poverty is wrong and with no enforcement mechanism in place, like wage garnishment, then more abuses occur and my husband has taken full advantage of the system.
Judge O’ Brien has refused to hear any PL motions and has refused to enforce my husband’s violations. My 6 year old has asthma and since my husband is ordered to pay for medical expenses and refuses to since no one is enforcing the orders, it resulted in my daughter being hospitalized. This is the tip of the ice berg.
I need to tell my daughters at some point the ‘risks’ of getting married. That you can quit you career, yes, almost all of the women complaining about this victimization are professional women who once worked and thought they were doing the right thing by raising their own children according to their own values. But that is looked down upon in society now. Being a single mother of two now has put me into a category that I never thought I would be in because we trusted the men we married to provide while we raised the families they created, again, a joint decision. A contract, if you will, a violation of that contract. I must now tell my children that if you decide to get married and decide to have children these are your options
I suppose I could write them a letter that would go something like this:
To My Darling Daughters:
Mommy will always hope for your dreams to come true and hope that, one day, you will find a true love who makes your heart sing. I hope that you have a family of your own as we are so very proud of our heritage and lineage and the decision to continue that lineage is how we all got here.
SO if you do find yourself happy and secure and loved by another and you BOTH decide to get married and BOTH decide to have children in New Jersey , this is what you need to know: 1) if you decide to pursue a career and BOTH you and your spouse decide to have children, these are your options;
Instead of raising your children yourself you can have someone else raise your children for you according to their value system and their family’s habits and traditions as you will never really get to have much quality time with them except on the weekends when you are busy doing the things you didn’t have time to do during the week. Or, my darling sweethearts, you can do it the hard way that promises to be most rewarding and memorable for all, to raise them yourself.
However, if after 10 years or so your husband changes his mind about sharing his life with you and his children, and decides he wants out of the responsibility he willingly entered into by getting married and having children, a decision that can only be partially reversed as the children are not returnable, you may find yourself broke since he already knew he would do that and began hiding money that you are entitled to as an agreement for you to raise the chidlren. You will find that there is no money for you to hire a lawyer to fight for your chidlren’s rights and you may be victimized by a judge who is misogynistic and without a real moral compass as he will throw you and your children into poverty to favor your husband. He may also take your beautiful loving children away from you and into peril. Honestly, when ones children are in peril you can really see a mother do things even she wouldn’t believe she could do. Bet we women are genetically programmed to respond to our children’s cry , it part of our genetic endowment as the givers of life, the XX chromosome. By the way did you know that the X chromosome is twice the size of a Y chromosome. I guess that explains the inferiority thing. Never mind I’ll explain when you get older.
You will find yourself fighting like hell but no one will hear you, because no one cares about you unless your a lawyer or part of the process, i.e., a ‘freind’ of lawyer or something like that. Your rights don’t matter and being a woman is only going to work against you. You will find your children crying at night becasue they just want their family to be happy and not be miserable anymore, and you will do that alone. SO you must be prepared. I’ll try to look up degrees at the local university to prepare you for that. I am not sure that a Psychology degree will work, it didn’t work for mommy.
That is why, my darling daughters, I have started a divorce fund for you now, with the penny’s i have saved. I know you are only 8 and 6 years old, but I never what this to happen to you, what has happened to me. I know you remember volunteering at the local food pantry after church on Sunday’s and then you probably also rememebr us receiving food from the food pantry. Well, I am jst glad you didn have to come with me to the social services office to apply for food stamps. Although your daddy makes over $145,000 per year, the judge refused to give us enough money to eat and buy clothes, medicines, gas, hair care, household supplies cat food….poor kitty really needs a check up but we can’t afford it. I wouldn’t want you to remember your childhood this way. Who knows how it effect you as a teenager or adult. I am sure it will change you forever. I hope that you will remember the happy times but I do understand that poverty is something NO ONE forgets.
I know you remember having a counselor to talk to about the changes in our home but then that stopped too since the judge refused to enforce the support order. I know you remember our car working properly and having air conditioning and then you remember how hot is was to suffer through that hot summer with so many heat weaves as we sat in our car with only one window that went down. Again, repairs that were court ordered and not enforced. Mommy tried to only drive short distances so you both wouldn’t succumb from the oppressive heat in July.
Yes, my darling, I want you to think good and hard at life as a woman with children. You can’t win either way and those who are suppose to protect you, like DYFS, actually instead of protecting your children actually become part of your problem, since your husband will likely be vindictive in the divorce and make false claims about you to hurt you.
Oh, and the school thing…..yes, the judge removed you from your school but he wasn’t suppose to do that since he didn’t follow the law and the precedence that was set before my divorce. Don’t worry, Mommy is working on that too, I had to file an appeal to keep you in the only stable environment in your life, your school. I will explain the whole Aspergers thing to you too, when you get older. I never wanted to label you and make you think you were anything but the best. Mommy knows what is best for you during this difficult time, and just remember how, for you and only you and your little sister, a mother will always fight for her children. If you decide to raise your children yourself you will have to give up many things like having nice clothes and taking trips, you will have to live with little to no sleep for many nights and maybe even up to one year like I had to for your sister, who was born with so many little problems. You will have to learn to get pleasure from your children smiles even when they are fighting like cats and dogs. But remember, the time we spent together in the first years of your life created a covalent bond, one that cannot be broken and you will always be in my heart and that is why I write this letter to you now.
Love hurts, my sweetheart, but Mommy will get us through it …somehow.
I love you both with all my heart,
Mommy
XOXOXOXOXXOXO
I hope that Judge O’ brien understands that a divorce is more than just a piee of paper with times new roman printed on it. A divorce is the destruction of a family, a death of a family and it is the most devastating event in a person’s life next to death. If handled with the discretion and with the care of an undertaker, a judge can play a healing role by making egalitarian decisions to help each person transition into their new lives. Instead, Judge O’ Brien has acted as the accomplice to the death of family. I presume his rules don’t apply to his own family though.
Judge Escandobn is a bad judge…no wait Judge Lawson is a bad judge…no wait…judge Rabner is a bad judge…no wait judge O’Brien is a bad judge…no wait…Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a bad judge. Enough cying already. You lost your case and now it’s someone else’s fault. We get it. Now go out and get a job and stop your welfare state mentality.
P.S. Daughters…..maybe we should talk about that inferiority complex sooner, rather than later.
Yes, I have a small wee wee, so I over-compensate by taking to the internet to yell at alimony crazed court losers who have blamed judge Escandon for bad choices in marriage and terrible choices in lawyers. And I drive a fast sportscar too.
Enough Already! I’ve been sitting back watching as well as being silent for too long. This again was brought to my attention and now I feel that this needs to be addressed!
1. I am neither rich, abusive nor an incompetent father/husband as the title in your article suggests, just the better parent. Ask the multiple therapists that have evaluated our family. My son is “Not” dealing! All of these accusations that my soon to be ex-wife is conjuring up are complete fabrications for her benefit of trying to get back at me and the immediate family that she is no longer apart of. Understand, that she is just merely jumping on the bandwagon and will destroy any credibility that you and the rest of the group may have, because she is a complete fraud. She is merely fabricating stories to fit into the group.
2. You should really think about your direct source of information, as “She is a Liar, & a criminal.” She is the one that was removed from the house due to her own criminal acts, and do not be mislead or fooled, this is not the first time! If you’d like me to make these records public, then I will not hesitate! So you should really do a better job at obtaining the full story before you defame my character and “most importantly the character of my young innocent sons” any further. As you know the truth cannot be erased! And by the way, Judge Escandon nor the Family Courts did not have anything to do with where she is currently at right now.
3. For a mother who pretends to be living and acting for the benefits of her children, trying to get her son arrested on false charges would be the complete opposite. What kind of loving mother goes around telling neighbors, etc. that her son is a drug addict? Then when he takes a mandatory comprehensive drug test “Every substance he is tested for comes back Negative!” What type of loving mother tells a therapist in front of her son multiple times, that she doesn’t care for about him and only cares about the younger son? What type of mother chooses not to pay her court ordered (again, “Not” by Judge Escandon) child support obligations? Definitely not a mother who has their sons’ interest at heart! At the end of the day, her current situation is based solely on her own doing! If she really wanted overnights with her children she would have satisfied the court ordered anger management therapy sessions, which btw, was “not” ordered by Judge Escandon 1 year ago. So think about it that, who’s interest is she really after?
4. She has made “False criminal claims” against me, which forced me to spend money unnecessarily to prove my innocence, and when she was subpoena to testify on those charges “that she brought against me”… she never showed up to court. And if she had shown up she would have perjured herself. So her only intent was to try and bankrupt me. Again, how is that in the best interest of the children when they are in my care?
Note: with all of her failed attempts I still have no criminal record due to the truth!
Again, the group’s cases may be credible, but her fraudulent acts even up until this day, will prove to be a detriment to your efforts. If this continues, I will be forced to released documents, videos, & photos based on the individual that will possibly hinder your whole movement!
I FIND IT REALLY STRANGE AND ODD THAT THIS GROUP “IS SUPPOSEDLY GOING FOR THE TRUTH AND JUSTICE”, BUT WONT VERIFY THE FACTS NOR ALLOW ME TO RESPOND TO THE GROSS AND NEGLIGENT DEFAMATION OF MY CHARACTER FROM THIER FACEBOOK PAGE! BY BLOCKING AND DELETING MY POSTS FROM YOUR FACEBOOK, PAGE YOU ARE PROVING THAT THE FULL TRUTH IS NOT BEING TOLD!
BE ADVISED THAT YOU HAVE A FRUAD AMONGST YOU, ONE WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANY REAL WORK OTHER THAN RIDE OTHER PEOPLES COATTAILS OR ALWAYS SCHEMING FOR HER SOLE BENEFIT.
MS. TAMEKA HUNT… UNDERSTAND THAT MY STORY IS BEING TOLD & THE PROOF/TRUTH WILL BE MADE PUBLIC! YOU WILL BE EXPOSED!
AGAIN, YOU CAN’T ERASE THE TRUTH! NOW, I’M ABOUT TO MAKE SOME NOISE, SO GET READY TO HEAR IT!
Judge Escandon is guilty of judicial malfeasance – conduct by a public official that cannot be legally justified or that conflicts with the law – which is punishable by impeachment.
There is a wealth of evidence to support the claims of many women that Judge Escandon has issued orders contradictory to state and constitutional laws, made rulings that violated their due process rights, and allowed ex-parte communications and other infractions by male litigants. Judge Escandon has been complicit in financially disabling women in his courtroom, rendering them defenseless, unable to afford legal representation, refusing to grant or enforce support, then awarding marital assets to husbands and stripping women of their parental rights, without cause. Judge Escandon has consistently ignored the safety, well-being and best interests of children, to rule in favor of wealthy, influential male litigants.
Impeachment is a process that was written into our constitutional law to prevent this type of abuse of power through the necessary provision of checks and balances, created to protect the people. Although it is seldom used, it is a right of the people to request it of their elected officials when warranted. The responsibility of a Family Court Judge is to oversee the dissolution of a marriage, and impartially decide on unresolved matters between parties, with the best interests of the children at the forefront. It is not his duty to exercise his power to further a political agenda, impose his personal biases on litigants, or in any way benefit from the outcome of a case. Judge Escandon’s actions are criminal and must not go unpunished.
Please contact your representatives and ask for the impeachment of Judge Paul X. Escandon. If they do not vote to impeach someone who has so arrogantly usurped his power to deliberately cause financial ruin and emotional hardship to women, while endangering children, they do not deserve to be in office, and do not deserve your vote in the next election.
