Saratoga County Family Court

A few months ago I went before judge Jensen trying to get a restraining order against my ex. Due to his drug usage, continuous harassment, and increasing violence I had turned to well springs for help. Every week I was calling the police department, and had shown up in front of judge Jensen with at least 4 domestic incident reports all from within the month. When I got there I told her he was using drugs around my son, and due to his increase in using I feared for my life. She read the 42+ texts I had gotten from him in just a weekend where I had asked him to leave me alone and then stopped replying. Now I was told she was a difficult judge to go up against but here I stood before her tears in my eyes begging her to grant the order because I feared for both mine and my sons life. She looked at me and said “ I will not be granting you the order of protection because it sounds like he is only trying to get you back and your in no real grave danger.” I said okay and told her thanks for wasting my time. Here it is October and since I stepped foot in that court room my ex has laid his hands on me twice leaving bruises each time. Except for the most recent episode of violence against me my ex the one I begged for a n order of protection on almost killed me because he obstructed my airway until I stopped breathing. He didn’t let go until he was ready which was after I stopped fighting because I had no more energy to fight. Judge Jensen really should be fired for not taking domestic violence more seriously. I have bruises all over my arms my chest and my neck as well as scratches and bite marks. Thanks judge Jensen for taking my life seriously that you would deny the order of protection and almost cost me my life. If I could give 0 stars I would for how poorly of a job she did Keeping me safe and how unprofessional she was. more

Judge Nolan is a complete Joke, he writes an order as part of a divorce agreement, and a year later that order was broken by my ex wife, and he rules that she does not need to obey his order! He could not follow the time line if events, did not take anytime to review all evidence and documents submitted into trial and ruled against his own order! Time to retire Nolan more

the last review sums up my experience to a t. domestic abuse is not only tolerated but rewarded in judge jensens court. the first thing an abuser does is take the mother to court for custody and will not stop. they are great liars and with a hired lawyer behind them, they get what they want. the children mean nothing and Jensen has said as much on record. more

Judge Jensen is one of the most disrespectful horrific judges I have ever encountered. She victim blames women fleeing Domestic Violence as well as Children being abused by their parent. Her total lack of compassion and ability to see through a manipulative abuser is unbelievable. The county has been served a real injustice with her in family court. Many children and women will continue to suffer at her hands. more
