Little Gerda Goes Forward with Courage and Safety

[Gerda]

Don't say "I toldja so" yet but I GOT SERVED TODAY.

Motion Sequence 8, 9 and 10 have never been ruled on by judge. 10 was just me asking her to rule on 9! Last conference was the cereal sighting, and then, if you are following, I had to submit the nine billion page PDF of all three sequences. I assumed she was gonna rule.

But nope. She actually signed ANOTHER MOTION, Sequence 11.

THIS ONE GOES TO 11!!!!! (That's a Spinal Tap reference, for all you youngsters. Go watch it. It'll cheer you up.)

In this one, he asks for me to be found in contempt for not following the Jan 2020 order that said I would pay him $2500 a month and that I would have sole use. (Neither being contingent on the other but just both settled by that order.) He also asks that the order be dismissed. How that makes sense, I cannot discern. And he asks that he move back in to the rental units, presumably for free. Oh, and that I pay 10K of his legal bills.

So there ya have it, folks. The reason that he said he will only do mediation if he can keep litigating.

I'm thinking at this point that I might have to file for some kind of review of my judge. She has overlooked him filing a fraudulent tax return -- and I don't mean not declaring tips kind of fraudulent. He pretended he is not married and does not own any property or earn any rents and that our son lives with him. She has never made him pay child support. She has never enforced any previous order and lets him continue to dissipate the asset with these endless motions.

BUT all of that said, I am still gonna try to do the mediation. Talk about having to be humble. I'm going to have to stomach this latest motion while doing the mediation!

I was thinking that maybe I shouldn't, but then I was thinking about Matthew 5, Blessed are the peacemakers, and I realized that it doesn't say, "Blessed are the people who make sure that peace happens and lasts and that mean people aren't mean anymore." It means to try, to do all you can to try to make peace. And to walk with faith when peace isn't made. So I am gonna try.

It's all pretty nuts but I figure it can't hurt for H to have to speak with the mediator, the only reasonable person to enter this insanity since it began. Maybe it won't work but it can't make it worse, and it could inject a tiny bit of pragmatism into his addled brain.

But Lord, what a lowlife he has become.
