Judge Little’s rulings have caused my son emotional stress to the point of him having to seek counseling and support from his teacher and school counselor in trying to cope with the changes brought about by Judge Little and my ex-wife Dora Heisey. This is the first time my son has ever come to his teacher and counselor for help.
Judge Little's rulings will have far-reaching effects on both families.

Judge Little's current ruling has placed me under the following court orders and my son under a schedule that is worse for him:

1 - Loss of Joint Physical Custody (Shared Custody) of my 10 year old son.

2 - Ordered STANDARD VISITATION which is NOT FOLLOWABLE due to my fire department schedule & causes up to 60% more exchanges between homes for my son.

3 - Awarded ex-wife $635 in monthly child support (being garnished from my Fire Department paycheck)

4 - Ordered me to pay $14,688 in attorney fees to my ex-wife (pending garnishment from my Fire Department paycheck)

5 - 2 DAY JAIL SENTENCE for contempt of court because I allowed my son to stay with his grandmother (my mom) for a day and half while I went to football game. Judge Little has ruled that GRANDPARENTS ARE THE SAME AS BABYSITTERS.
BEWARE of leaving your children with their grandparents, you could be sentenced to jail.

Here is a summary of the rulings Judge Little has made in the current lawsuit: 

RULING #1 MARCH 2006 – Judge Little ruled in my favor; I requested to maintain joint physical and joint legal custody with our son continuing to spend time week-to-week with each parent. Judge Little also stated he did not agree with my discipline methods and that I would be subject to sanctions or modification of custody (mean take custody of my son away from me) if I was to be found to do the similar discipline in the future. The discipline in question is one spanking, taking away basketball because of poor grades, and after a discipline report was sent home for unacceptable behavior I had my son be accountable for his behavior by having the teachers sign a notebook stating his behavior for the day. The paragraph in the ruling by Judge Little essentially handcuffed me in discplining my son. How can Judge Little be allowed to "parent from the bench"?

RULING # 2 JUNE 2006 – Judge Little completely reversed his March 2006 ruling and awarded my ex-wife Dora Heisey everything she asked for: physical custody of our son, child support, attorney fees and jail time for me due to her claim that I was in contempt of court. 

RULING # 3  OCTOBER 2006 – Judge Little once again reversed himself and sided with me again as he did in March 2006 but ordered me to pay $7500 in attorney fees to my ex-wife Dora Heisey and allowing my ex-wife Dora Heisey to clai our son on taxes every year (in the past we had alternated). The tax exemption was not even discussed at trial. How can a ruling be made on something, or add something to the ruling, when it was not even discussed in testimony at trial?
How can you win your case (2 times) YET be ordered to pay the losers attorney fees, the very person who filed the lawsuit and did not bring enough evidence to justify a change in our sons life and schedule?

RULING # 4 – SEPTEMBER 2007 – Both parties (myself and my ex-wife Dora Heisey) filed appeals to Montgomery Court of Civil Appeals in December 2006. My appeal was asking to overturn the two items Judge Little awarded to my ex-wife in October 2006 (ordered me to pay her $7500 for attorney fees and allowed my ex-wife to claim our son on taxes every year versus alternating as we always have done).

My ex-wife appealed the entire ruling because she lost everything that Judge Little awarded her in June 2006. 

On August 17, 2007 the Montgomery Court of Civil Appeals notified us that both appeals were denied due to the fact that in October 2006 Judge Little ruled ONE DAY beyond his authority. Judge Little had 90 days to make his ruling in October 2006 and he made it on the 91^st day which made his ruling in October 2006 invalid. 

This forced both parties to have to follow the June 2006 ruling which Judge Little himself had overturned in October 2006 minus the technicality of being one day beyond his authority. 

On August 24, 2007, my attorney filed motion to Judge Little asking for him to correct his ‘inadvertent’ mistake.

On September 19, 2007 Judge Little informed my attorney he denied our motion and in effect was leaving my son in a worse situation than ever.

Judge Little CHOSE to leave my son in a WORSE situation.

NOVEMBER 8, 2007 - Judge Little notifies me that he is recusing (the judges & lawyers like to use BIG words, but for us common folk that means 'remove') himself from my case. Here is the exact content of his letter to me:
"I must recuse due to Mr. Hobbs disparaging remarks about me via email and a website he created. The email was forwarded to my wife. Therefore, to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, I recuse."
The email Judge Little refers to simply states the facts that are ongoing. It is unfortunate that Judge Little considers my telling the truth about his actions to be disparaging. If anyone wants to see the email please ask and I will be happy to provide it to you. Again, it only states the facts of the case and my rights to freedom of speech that as a U.S. Navy veteran 1989-1993 I have served to protect.

Judge Little is obligated to do what is best for my son based on the evidence presented to him. There is no evidence to justify the changes my ex-wife Dora Heisey has sought and that Judge Little has allowed by his rulings or his unwillingnes to correct his 'inadvertent' mistake in October 2006. 

Judge Little, will you please explain to my son why you have allowed his life to be drastically changed and ripped his Dad, Grandmother, Family, Friends and Church from his life?
