One of two things will likely happen: (1) media coverage will force this power-mad judge to change course; or (2) the court of appeals is going to bench slap her brutally on appeal.

The conclusion of this story is quite interesting. My prediction proved correct. The court of appeals got involved and bench slapped this judge. Further, the mother had lost custody because of a child-abuse investigation:

The Michigan Court of Appeals on Friday ordered no additional hearings in the case of a sailor seeking to retain custody of his 6-year-old daughter while he is deployed outside the country and unavailable to appear in court.

The order was in response to an appeal filed Aug. 12 by an attorney for Petty Officer Matthew Hindes. The appeal claimed Lenawee County Circuit Judge Margaret M.S. Noe was not properly applying a stay required by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.

Noe issued a stay on June 22, canceling an order for Hindes to have his daughter turned over to his ex-wife or face arrest. Noe ordered at a hearing on June 16 that his daughter, Kaylee, be in his ex-wife’s custody while he was deployed by the Navy.

Angela Hindes lost custody of her daughter in 2009 during a child abuse investigation. Matthew Hindes, who is based in Washington state, was granted full custody in a 2010 divorce order. Angela Hindes is now seeking a change in the custody order.

Friday’s order from a three-judge Court of Appeals panel stated Noe “erroneously continued to hold hearings on this matter relating to parenting time.”
