I have a DV protection order, yet I get to see my kids twice a week. I can see them, but I cannot telephone them. I cannot email them. (Because that is somehow dangerous?)
I cannot phone their mom to ask that they have their bathing suits when I pick them up, because.... somehow that is dangerous or threatening. I cannot ask that they be ready for a hike, because that would somehow be violent.
The justice system is an idiot.
The justice system has declared that I must continue to pay the mortgage, as well as $4000 in support, as well as pay minimum credit card payments on credit cards that we ran up jointly. That leaves... let me see... negative $2000 for me, every month. Now can the justice system please explain exactly how I will pay minimum credit card payments with money I do not have? Will the justice system please explain how I am to continue working productively when I have no home to live in, no money to live on?
The justice system agrees with the petitioner that she is "unable to find work" though we live in the lowest unemployment metro area in the nation.
The justice system is an idiot.
Excuse me, but what is my incentive to continue working, under these terms? Work my arse off all week, for what? To have no home? No money? I can get that.. for no work at all!!
What is my incentive to NOT check myself into an insane asylum?
The justice system is an freaking idiot.
