Judge B. Scott Silverman, Family Court

Judge B. Scott Silverman is the epitome of a biased judge. My ex– husband is a computer executive and took control of over 20 bank accounts.
Although, Silverman was well aware of this illegal act per court documents he simply ignored this issue leaving with very little money and therefore, I could not pay for a good lawyer and had to represent myself during part of the proceedings while my ex-​husband had access to 250K.
His decisions are arbitrary and he does not bother to read what is written in terms of declarations nor follow proper legal procedures.

Scott Silverman is a biased judge. He favors men in is courtroom. My ex lied in from of the judge and the judge even has said he is unruly in his courtroom by he still continue to be in favor of him.
A friend of mine in also in his courtroom and has treated her badly even though there is evidence that her ex husband has lied.
He barely reads the declarations or papers that are prepared. He shows his lack of patience and distaste for people sitting before him on his posture and face .
I thought that there is justice or fairness and there is not in his courtroom. He does not give a damn about the people or the children before his court.

This man issues completely arbitrary judgments; he is grouchy and impatient. Although it seems as though he reads (or at least gleans) the pleadings, his rulings are made carelessly without any consideration for «the best interest» of the child.
In my case, after lengthy litigation, Judge Silverman ordered my ex (NCP) to continue our son’s extra-​curricular activities on his weekends ONLY if it was a «team» or «group» activity. In other words, if my son’s proclivities leaned toward individual enrichment, like a music class or drawing lesson, my ex would not be required to take him to it; hence, money wasted and more importantly, educational needs of the child not met. Although I can see the reasoning behind this decision, it doesn’t reflect any understanding of children and their diverse needs. While we continued this arrangement for only a short period (not commensurate with the amount of money spent to obtain it) the (il)logic of this ruling could potentially be very detrimental to a child if sustained.
This is only one small, but concrete, example of Judge B. Scott Silverman’s arbitrary and rushed style of ruling. Furthermore, we spent numerous days waiting in his courtroom on several different motions, only to be told at the end of each day that a continuance was to be set for a future date. Each day in court cost approximately 10k — 10k that the judge was burning through without providing us with any resolution.
