The phone calls..

Today, today, today. Today I made some very important phone calls. Important information to obtain, 'stop giving me the run-around' and 'catch up' type of phone calls. I reconnected with someone who worked my case about 10 years ago. She was a wealth of info and is looking into done things for me. Keep your fingers crossed.

This young woman, Teddy, she tells me that things are on hold because my ex husband is taking me back to court. Yup, you read that correctly. HE'S TAKING ME BACK TO COURT. I've yet to be served papers but this is how it will work out... His scumbag of an attorney will serve me the day before. He'll leave papers taped to my door, as usual. That's allowed in New York state, believe it or not. The thing is, he'll tape it to my door the night before I'm supposed to appear. Then, the asshole will say that I'm not in compliance when I can't take the day of on such short notice.

It's funny, in a sad way, that the court will allow this. My ex usually files petitions against me and will either not show up, tending to his sick mother who actually passed away over a decade ago. OR, his attorney will show up hours late. Sometimes, he shows up so late that my case has already been called and I'm walking out of the building. Then I'll have to come back several times because if an adjournment.

Sadly, I'm not the only mother in this position. Some kids never see the money that is due to them. I don't understand how this system works. My heart breaks for my children. For every child out there that has faced nights without food, no clothing, eviction. I want the world to open their eyes, for gosh sake!

This man will claim he's broke or unemployed. No balls. Coward. Selfish pig. My kids, yes, MY kids deserved a better person than he is. So, back to court I go. My home away from home. This #SingleMom will do what she has to for her kids. I'm coming for you.
