[MACVSOG68]

Any answer from this judge on why he is prone to grant ex parte hearings so readily?

A question that requires an answer. One answer may be that the judge did not see it as an ex-parte hearing, dealing with the granddaughter who had cared for granny for 10 years, and not having been told there were other parties to the contest. Time should bring this information out.

[muawiyah]

The judge should have requested information concerning any attorney of record for the grandmother at her last known place of residence.

This guy's a hack isn't he?
