Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
As I experience the Ma Judicial system- and all the flaws/cronyism/biases- I still believe - some day my 'side of the story'- will be heard. My question is- I want to write a letter to a judge overseeing my husband's custody case with his ex- and their 17 yr old daughter. He got custody two months ago. He is an functioning alcoholic, in a blackout drunken induced state- nightly. He got custody basically because I was not there to testify. There is another hearing coming up. We separated a month after he got custody. There are things I want the judge to know. WILL a judge actually READ and LISTEN to testimony- in a letter I address to him? I believe I can not go to the hearing now because we are separated and it is a juvenile case. Yes. I am angry. This man has ruined my life and yes- I allowed it to happen. We are in three differnet courts with three separate issues. Fun Thanks in advance for any help....He deserted me- after selling 20k in vehicles- and left me with 20 dollars- no car- and now he is trying to force the sale of the house. I am flabbergasted... emotionally devastated. The whole story is complex. My husband is one of the sickest alcoholics I ever met..

A letter is unlikely to help, but if you're there in person, the judge may hear you. If the other party is represented by an attorney, you should reach out to the attorney to voice your concerns: you can then be called as a witness.
