[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 9376, member: 87"] I called the courthouse today and asked if Melissa could do community service instead of paying her fine. I was told no. I asked if installment payments could be made and was told yes. The lady said that Melissa has to call and arrange them. I told Melissa what I had found out, and she got mad that I had called. She said she wasn't going to call and that she would rather go to jail. (ah, that skewed thinking of hers) I also had learned that if Melissa pays for the broken window and starts counseling for anger management and brings in a letter from the counselor stating such, the vandalism ticket MIGHT get dropped. I didn't tell Melissa this, as she was already angry that I called. She and husband were going on an errand, and I told him to bring it up if she was being calm. They got home and he told me that he had told her. Her answer was that if she went to a counselor, she would only go to sessions until after the court date was over. husband was hopeful that she would see that the counseling was helping her and she would remain in counseling. (that is if she actually follows up on going) I called the school to find out how much the broken window costs, but the Hall Director was not available. She has not called me back. Melissa looked at the newspaper ads and the internet today for jobs without prompting from husband or me. She started to apply online at another large chain pet store. The computer timed out on her during the application (I was standing here watching). She said forget it; she wasn't doing it now. (is there something wrong with my computer? this is the second time this has happend!) Anyway, I have gone above and beyond my duty to investigate the above for Melissa. I know that many of you would not have done this, but I felt a need to. I informed husband that we are NOT going to pay the $148 fine, seeing how Melissa can call to make payment installment arrangements. If she wants to be stubborn when there is an easy fix to this problem, we certainly are not going to bail her out. So, either she will wise up and call to make payment arrangements or I guess she'll have to go to jail. Or maybe ex can borrow her the money. Wouldn't that be something? Thanks for letting me give you an update. Sue [/QUOTE]
