Judge Patricia Stephens is running for re-election
This is Judge Patricia Stephens, who alienated my child from me and a number of children from their fathers. She is using deception to trick you to vote for her. She wants you to believe that she holds the best interest of children as her highest priority, and that she is an advocate for both parents being actively involved in their children’s lives. Judge Patricia Stephens has adopted as her own a 50/50 shared custody philosophy only after MR. Damon Watson entered as a candidate opposing her for Place 15 and began his campaign advocating on his philosophy of equally shared child custody to fit parents as he himself has been a victim of the dysfunctional court system. The line of loving and heartbroken parents and children condemned in Judge Patricia Stephen's courtroom speaks to the truth; my case with Judge Patricia Stephens amongst them. She is not telling you the truth as evidenced by her trial record. Instead Judge Patricia Stephens is spewing hollow rhetoric to secure re-election. Please take heed. Read and/or watch my experience with her.
I am Louis Ardovino and my youngest daughter I were separated for almost 3 years
I am Louis Ardovino, the owner of Upsidedown Shoe Repair and my youngest daughter and I are victims of Judge Patricia Stephens, who contrary to the rational thought, awarded my ex-wife custody of my youngest 12-year old daughter. In doing so, separating her from me and her two older sisters for almost 3 years! After being subjected to nine months of Judge Patricia Stephens dysfunctional court; because no visitation schedule was ever created for me from the beginning, constant obstruction by my ex-wife with counselors, and me not being able to see my daughter - I showed up in Judge Patricia Stephens court begging for relief. I had my oldest daughter with me as a witness to what her mother was doing to all three daughters. Judge Patricia Stephens DENIED relief, and ordered more counseling! ||| One year later, now with 2 witnesses (adding my middle daughter), Judge Patricia Stephens again defied all rational thought, refusing to adjudicate! Again, ordering counseling and both daughters were unable to speak. ||| Then 3-months later, 2-years elapsing now; with both daughters again as witnesses, Judge Patricia Stephens would not or was incapable of making a different decision. More Counseling was ordered and both older daughter again were unable to speak. ||| 3 more months later, I filed a 4th motion to come back to court totaling 5 times - DENIED! Judge Patricia Stephens refused my attempt to come to her court but said if either party wanted to get an earlier divorce trial date that she would do that. ||| When both of us requested one. Denied! ||| Eventually we finally got to trial. Judge Patricia Stephens decision after the trial, with the mother's own father testifying against her, both oldest daughters testifying against her, and me pleading with Judge Patricia Stephens, providing 3 years of factual material evidence that the mother was unfit, subjecting our youngest daughter to parental alienation which is considered the severest form of psychological child abuse - FULL CUSTODY WAS AWARDED TO THE MOTHER! Judge Patricia Stephens citing in the Final Judgment "the strained relationship between the Defendant (father) and the minor child". 4 years has elapsed now and my youngest daughter and I share 2-hours on Wednesday nights by order of this court. To this day, I still have no visitation schedule.
My story is not an isolated incident. Judge Patricia Stephens is not being truthful with you and has for 6-years been irreparably damaging for life the relationships between parents and their children AND permanently diminishing the once personal and professional potential of children. My daughter is now 16, and as much as I love her and would want more court ordered time with her, paying another lawyer to go stand in front of Judge Patricia Stephens to try and fix what she has destroyed is nothing but a futile effort. During the last round of counseling that actually was complied with after full custody was finally achieved for the mother, my youngest daughter requested to be with her sisters during the counseling sessions. A request for the final order to be amended was filed and has been completely ignored by Judge Patricia Stephens office. THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY CAN NOT AFFORD BEING SUBJECTED TO SIX MORE YEARS OF Judge Patricia Stephens dysfunctional philosophy. God help us with Place 15 - please protect our children this June 5th and remove Judge Patricia Stephens from the bench.
Mr. Damon Watson running for Patricia Stephens place
This is Mr. Damon Watson speaking to the audience of a radio show called "Not Necessarily Political". He and his son are victims like me in a different court, Mr. Watson knows the pain and suffering loving parents and children are subjected to many times daily in dysfunctional domestic relations and family courts. Mr. Watson had no ambitions of become a domestic relations court judge, but after his experiences with this senseless abuse, Mr. Watson was compelled to ensure other loving parents and children were not subjected to this abuse. Mr. Damon Watson chose to run for judge and make a positive difference in the lives of the families that appear before him in Place 15 Court. Mr. Watson hopes his Court will serve as a positive model for other judges to follow.
After the more than 4-years of constant heartache that my daughter and I have had to endure at the hands of Judge Patricia Stephens, the choice is clear to me. Mr. Damon Watson is the only candidate for Circuit Court Place 15. No person who has ever experienced the nightmare that is domestic / family court would ever inflict that same on another person OR CHILD. THIS IS WHY I TRUST HIM – WE MUST REMOVE Judge Patricia Stephens!

It's not right to separate children from a parent
Look at the love! It's just a natural thing
Separating a parent from a child should be against the law for a judge or anyone to do. Why? It only hurts the child now, and later in life. Please join and help us stop this abuse.
