Court Reporter withholding transcript
First time poster.
In a divorce case (Superior court in Georgia) in which all payments for the court reporter's fees have been paid 6 months ago, there is still no transcript of the temporary hearing filed with the clerk. I waited several months for the transcript as it would contain remarks made by the judge that would possibly void the case. Curiously, the reporter called me to come pick up a copy of the completed transcript which was certified by the reporter and marked COPY, but has not been filed with the clerk. After reviewing the transcript I was disappointed to find several significant alterations that almost totally removed all damaging statements made by the judge and discussed this with the reporter. I had an attorney for the temp hearing, and thinking about not using any attorney for final hearing. Custody of child was awarded to mother at temporary hearing & I expect the same at the final. My intent is to appeal or collaterally attack the custody award based on statements made by judge at temp hearing. The hearing was also recorded on tape. Anyone have any knowledge of how can I proceed to get the true transcript? Final hearing is coming up soon. Thank You, jmaxx
