WAW/Affair Exposed - Advice? #3

[DCBHM]

That was quick. W didn't bother showing up, her attorney sent a stand-in to request a continuance, the judge said no and asked a few questions to both attorneys. Objections included:

Attorney: "Your honor this documentation of self mutilation is from when she was a teen."
Judge: "I've got her birthday right here, she's only 22 now."

Attorney: "Your honor all sorts of allegations fly around during a divorce"
Judge: "That's true."

Attorney: "Your honor I don't know anything about this."
*five minutes later after objecting with a lot of knowledge about it.*
Judge: "For someone who doesn't know anything about it you sure seem to know an awful lot."


So... not sure what the judge is going to order, but he asked my attorneys if we had all of this evidence backing up my affidavit and they said yes. He didn't even ask to see the evidence, but W's stand-in virtually admitted that she had a prior history of self-mutilation, so I can't see how the judge can ignore it.

We are still baking some additional surprises, and whether or not the judge orders an evaluation I have a game plan to go forward.

I imagine I made a better impression anyway. It was also probably kind of telling that W didn't even show, probably because her attorney figured that she wouldn't do well on the stand.
