Kelly Pope-Black

Kelly Pope Black was once a sitting judge. I went before her for a divorce because my husband was abusive. I was not allowed to talk about the abuse because my husband never showed up to court, so I couldn’t tell her he broke my back. She accused me of walking funny and I had to accept it. She told m...e I was lying about not using drugs and made me take two ten panel drug tests and told me if she didn’t know the people she sent me to personally, she’d think I faked the results. I was called mentally ill and had my custody of my son split between myself and my mother. I was in the beginning stages of realizing I had ptsd. It was incorrectly categorized as depression at first. I have memory loss because of the ptsd. I’d forgotten an incident of my past, blissfully, because I forget so little of the abuse, that Kelly pope black accused me of lying about. She sent me to jail for two weeks to obtain my divorce. Because of her, I lost faith in the justice system. It took me TEN YEARS to get up the courage to start getting my life back together after coming before her. I was insanely affected by this woman and she was removed of her judgeship due to her temperament and the way she treated people. I’m horrified she’s still allowed to practice law.
