So I went back to court at the behest of my ex-wife yesterday. It seems that she and her mother don’t feel like she should pay child support for Logan. I’m not sure how they came up with this concept?
Apparently they think that I’m not actually giving the money to Logan. That I just send money to my brother arbitrarily in the hopes that he will give it to Logan or perhaps make a movie with it?
Who the hell knows? Nobody ever accused her of being intelligent.
Let me say that I don’t like going to court. It stresses me out. Consequently I stayed up until 4:00 am cleaning SPAM out of the pooz and wondering why I was doing this again?
Turns out the court was wondering precisely why Kerry was doing this again as well? She was assessed in October. Told to pay more money and then in an attempt to not have to pay she took me back to court citing that Logan didn’t live with me. True, but we still pay for him to be out there because that’s what parents do.
The really sad and pathetic thing is that she abandoned him at five years old. 12 years later she decides that she wants to see him. He asks her why she didn’t see him all these years and she says, “its personal”. So in essence she's abandoning him again. Of course that would imply that she actually gave a damn in the first place.
The magistrate kept asking her what she wanted done? She’d been assessed, she’d been given a $140 break because of her other son, and she still felt like she was paying too much?
Realizing that she wasn’t going to just NOT have to pay anything; she tried to lower it to $200 a month (it’s currently $440 as of 12/15). Logan’s actual monthly expenses are bare minimum $600. That means that as long as he doesn’t need anything other rent and food (meaning no new clothes, no movies, virtually nothing extra) he shouldn’t have anything to complain about.
The funny part about all of this is that she’s accusing me of doing something other than just trying to do the best thing for Logan. Like I’m taking her pitiful amount of child support and just buying comics with it or something? For the record, I said that her and her mother were 'wastes of human beings". They are. Not evil so much as just retarded. Emotionally retarded.
The magistrate obviously felt the same way. She looked over Kerry’s paper work in court and saw that she just had served the papers herself. Violating due process. She gave me the option of continuing with it or having the case dismissed. I opted to have it dismissed. The magistrate stopped just shy of accusing her of perjury.
I don’t know what the hell is wrong with her? I guess she’s just empty inside like her mother and my father. I’m disappointed in all of them. Not that they care. I feel bad that Ike and Nancy have chosen to ostracize Logan in favor of her. Weak dudes, weak.
If she files again -I’m hiring a lawyer and have them start looking into where she’s hiding her money. Hell, maybe I’ll do that anyway. The magistrate seemed very interested in her tax filing status and why she was doing things the way she was.
I’m just sick of these assholes screwing with my children.
