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.

Three years... WOW.. I think that speaks VOLUMES to what the judges thinks he needs in terms of therapy to even break the surface.
I know how exhausting THIS DAY was in terms of what all you've already endured... Thank you for doing it all... for you, for Averey... and it's not just that.
