Illegal coercion by judge. Looking into reporting judicial misconduct.
Backstory: a woman claimed I was the father of her child. The court set a date and location for a paternity test. Soon after, we were summoned back to court. The judge questioned why the test hadn't been done. I explained that the court scheduled it for a date that hasn't passed yet. He then moved the date up to a time when he and court administrators knew I would not be available as I informed them I would be out of state for mandatory job training in the prior hearing (and I did reiterate that to him again). He didn't care and told me that if I didn't get it done then I would be barred from doing it ever. Obviously since I was out of state there was no real way to do it so when we were summoned back to court afterward (still before the original test date), the judge FORCED me into verbally accepting responsibility of paternity by threatening me with jail time if I didn't do it right then and there.
