So, I get there & wait & wait & wait ... at 9:45 am, I call my atty office & say to the secretary "This is a stupid question, but we DO have court today, right?" she says "No, it was cancelled, Didnt you get the message?" - i swore. She said "Hold on". Then she tells me the paralegal EMAILED me "yesterday afternoon" ... Uh, i NEVER got an email, & either way, if they didnt hear back from me, dont they think it would have been a good idea to CALL ME? & make SURE I got the message????? (i checked my email just now again, there IS no email from her!)

So, apparently X's atty "cancelled yesterday b/c he has another court case he coudlnt get out of" .... BULL. I am SURE he cancelled b/c X wasnt compliant & now this buys him MORE time. I am SO infuriated I had all I could do not to cry.

She said it will "be re-scheduled for sometime at the end of Feburary". I told her to have my atty call me ASAP b/c I am NOT waiting a month. My child CANT wait a month. She is being emotionally ABUSED, called names, frightened ... its BULL*@$#$*.

So, thats all I know for now. AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!


ps- CL-west .. no! I dont feel better! the freaking pills give me diarrhea ... & i didnt take one this AM b/c i didnt want to be sick in court. Gee ... I WONDER what my BP is right now! Better go take one! Thanks for thinking of me

It's appauling that they didn't call to check whether you had received the supposed e-mail. Very sloppy work. Do these people not realise you have to reschedule and find childcare?

I would be furious. Steaming, even.

This won't be forever. It's a horrible period to have to go through, but you WILL get through it and you will be proud of yourself because of all the strength of character you have shown.

I am a firm believer in karma, and your ex will get what he deserves. Trust in that. It probably won't help alleviate the frustration you are feeling right now. But every little thing helps.
