[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663973, member: 1550"] Kill me now. Ok, so Bart's lawyer sent out I don't know how many orders against his ex, emergency orders restraining her from moving Junior to any school, and the judge rubber stamped the order and ordered her to court tomorrow for the temporary restraining order. There's another order for next week too and ex must finally be shaking in her boots. And the lawyer? Boy, did he do a good and truthful job of stating the case, including all the different times ex didnt follow up on court orders regarding her move, explaining that they have joint custody and she can't make unilateral decisions, and calling ex on the phone to make sure she knows about the hearing. She still has no counsel. I thought, "Oh, good. That's done. The lawyer will take care of it and Bart must be calm now." The phone rang and it was Bart. Although he was obviously relieved, he actually found something to worry about. It goes like this. His regular judge is out of town so he won't be at the hearing tomorrow. Another court hearing (not sure why) was also ordered Monday, and he will be back then, but for tomorrow's emergency hearing, there is a young female judge presiding over the case (not sure if that is correct terminology). He looked her up (just the thing to make one nervous) and found that she only graduated 2005 and is already a judge. So he is afraid she will disregard the entire great case he has, not care that ex violated every rule in the book and kicked the court in the face too, and may rule for his ex. After all, she is young, is unfamiliar with ex's cunning ways, and she belongs to the Woman's Bar. She might be a man hater!!!!!! Like she'd risk her entire career as a judge to rule for a woman. I tried to tell him the unlikelihood of that. Hope it worked. Then Sonic called and I had to switch calls and when I came back he'd hung up. I needed the break.
