Forced to drop court case.....

Okay- forgive me if I don’t make much sense, but I am still very upset. Ex and I went back to court today to file the paperwork for visitation/child support/and paternity. We were both given 11 am appt cards and told to bring half of the fees to file. So we both take off from work today and I get there first, and this woman calls my name and I stand up, she doesn’t look for Eric or mention his name. So I asked her if we needed to wait for Eric, and she said she didn’t understand. He didn’t need to be there. I asked her if she was sure, and she said she would go and check. So I sat back down again ( no big deal). Well, then this other woman in green comes out and in a very condescending tone says, “ Did you NOT here your name CALLED ?” I was at first shocked at her tone, and then I said, yes, but I want to wait for Eric. She then tells me that I am confused and he does not have to be there. So I said, well that’s not what I was told before. So I told her that he is coming in the door, and he can show her his appointment card.

I'm so sorry to hear about how things went today. I hate when people in positions of authority go out of their way to make someone feel small. A little compassion isn't a lot to ask for. Don't have any advice, but I hope things go better for you in the future.
