Incredible day in court!

FINALLY - someone has listened. Its been an incredibly emotionally greuling road, but finally, the courts have recognized the issues in my domestic case. This will be long, I apologize ahead of time.


I went to court today, for the RO hearing, armed with the 2 voice mails, extremely abusive in nature, threatening & swearing, telling me he quit his job because his pay was garnished for child support. Also had transcripts of the past 6 months or so of any abusive texts messages & print outs of emails. & lastly, printouts of the whole Face Book fiasco where he posted to me publicly that I “looked like a fat pig” & accompanying all that, were the copies of the postings he sent to my freinds FaceBook pages (whom he didnt know), 15 of them, & the degrading comments he made about me to them, as well as comments to them personally such as “your baby is ugly”, “you’re a fag”, & lots of expletives.


What I expected to be a fast RO granted or not granted (based on past judge experience), this new female judge lived up to her reputation of being extremely tough on men who were abusive. She just took over the bench on Sept 1. To put it in perspective, in 3.5 yrs of the past judge, I have had THIRTEEN court dates, NONE of which was I ever allowed to testify, nor did we ever even see a judge - & he refused to look at any documentation I provided on the issues.

Way to go Rebecca! I know it has been a very hard long road for you but good has prevailed. Smart judge. I hope you can start to relax a little about this now... you deserve it.

Oh my goodness. I can't imagine, I just simply can not imagine the things you've endured. Thank goodness the judge was on your side and saw X for what he was. UUUUGH

Rebecca,
I can tell you are an incredibly strong woman- dedicated to your child, her well being and safety.God sent you a great conscientious judge and answered prayers! My heart sings for you! I know it's not easy but hang in there and keep fighting the fight. This is justification that it is so worth it. You are the example of what we all strive to be to protect our children.
