Attorney Kelly Gaughan

Horrible as a judge. Took my 4 mth old into foster care, even though my husband was and has been sober and we had multiple family members offer to take him. Our sons casa worker even agreed to let the baby go to my husband and the judge ruled against it. She wouldn't put the baby with any family even though they were clean and sober and willing but instead put in in a foster family with 9 other kids and when they almost killed our son by taking his medication and letting him detox for weeks, she still wouldn't send him home. Had to sieve thousands of dollars and make multiple reports just to get my son with family . I did everything she wanted including residential treatment and my husband remains sober so don't understand why our children is in a system.

When i was already in rehab and my husband had our 11 year old, she decided to pull him too and grant cys dependency. Didn't matter if any of us were clean apparently. She literally held my husband's medical card against him and wanted him to stop. It's prescribed by a doctor so how does any of this work.. but grateful she finally allowed family to take the kids after months and after severe medical negligence.

If I could give her a zero as a Judge in Pike County I would. She has a huge bias towards men. She didn't listen to any evidence in my custody competent hearing and removed custody of my daughter from me, that I've held for the last 8 yrs. She let my daughters mother clearly violate our custody agreement, allowed my daughter's mother to berate me, switch schools without my knowledge and the list goes on. Not even a slap on the wrist, this Judge is the worst!!!!!!!!!!

If I can leave zero stars I would. She doesn’t return calls, she gave me information and my family member different information....it is my belief that she doesn’t fight for her clients.
