Manchester Family Court

Was very unhappy and the more I think about things , things seem really dodgy. On some of the things Judge had said .. didn't listen to my daughter , would looked at her paper work she had with her , claimed they didn't receive email of paperwork my daughter sent , wouldn't look at proof that she had sent it , didn't look at fact claimant had done this before yet my daughter has never been to court in her life and sided with claimant.. put charges and court cost on my daughter even though she's on benefits and suffers with Anxity and depression and told her to go sort out payment with man whom had abused her and us not being reasonable ...
It was a joke .

Staff are not very friendly. Everyone walks around there as though they don't want to be there. Hated every minute of it.

This review is for the front desk lady named Jacqueline.
This lady was helpful, polite and helped reset my faith in human kindness.
Thankyou for helping to get us to where we needed to be. You deserve a raise.

Tried multiple times with no answer, what's the point in having a number I'd nobody answers.
The family judges in this court as so corrupted, I dealt with this court 14yrs ago on a family matter, judges do not listen and take sides with social services. 14yrs later I'm reopening the same case and finding it so hard to even send a letter to the courts or even speak to.someone on the phone.. I dread to.deal with this courts again

Apart from the shambolic Salford helpline , been put in place, where clueless staff misadvise litigants after being on hold for hour, then refer you back to court who then shunt lay litigants around unfairly and refuse to help, the place is a kangaroo court with inconsistent judges contradicting each other.
Justice becomes a mockery, a judge lottery.
One such so called judge Goodchild, , inflicts herself on the public has very condescending tone and dismisses expert evidence, she runs a kangaroo court and should be investigated and struck off.
This is an affront to lay litigants , who naively but rightfully expect justice, to then be hung out to dry by this tone deaf, individual, who just writes off the case, when it has earned merit enough to come to trial in the first instance. Your trial fee is wasted as she should not be holding trials that she has planned to dismiss from the outset.
Why isn’t the useless JCIO investigating such charlatans.?
I would suggest anyone who gets this individual ask for another judge, you will not get a fair trial.

What's the point of having a phone number if you never answer it.

Tried to ring multiple times. It either just rings and rings and rings or it rings a couple of times, and the call gets ended.

Then you ginally get through to be told," No ,we can't help you, ring this number." Who also tells you, "no, we can't help you , you need to ring this number"

Absolute joke

I’m quite shocked by the reviews. Every time I’ve called - yes there’s been a wait like anything else - once I’ve got through the staff have been extremely helpful and so have the court staff and ushers. I’ve been a few times here and have had a few different judges, depending on how the case is put forward and with the evidence - I’ve had good experiences here.

I haven't seen any reviews before about this court, but this court us corrupt and under judge Matharu who totally ignored documented evidence ruined Tracey Garry's life by taking away ger freedom simply because Trafford social services under manager's pat Darbyshire abd Yvette Copues covered up stolen money from client's from 2010 to 2014 and used the mental health act after the council social services forced tracey to take Haloperidol and Valium in high doses to give them control over her to stop her asking questions about her stolen money and property and the council told the police and the court lies and the manager Pat Darbyshire had committed fraud by altering evidence which the court and the police ignored because of corruption.
