Best day ever…coming soon
I used to think that this uphill battle (the dreaded thing that folks call the Big D, and for good reason) would never end. Today we got a lot closer to what should have happened 3 years ago: I was present in court to respond to allegations from “you know who” for the first time ever, and the court dismissed the Violation of the protective order from 2011 when I had supposedly driven by our old home. (That’s right folks I went to jail in 2011 for driving by her home, no witnesses, no proof, and I bailed out of jail myself after 17 days in county jail, and have had to contact a bond company weekly since.) For the first time in three years, I had a normal court appearance concerning this horrible divorce.
The judge today saw no evidence of harm to any of my family, ever. Found no reason to have a continuing protective order, and all that is left is to work out when and where I see my two youngest kids next, among other things…. Amen.
P.S. and I was an hour and a half late to court due to car brakes. Still had a great day, and more to come!

Every day in this country, in courts of all shapes and sizes, criminal defendants are deprived of their constitutional right to counsel because they cannot afford a lawyer and because the court-appointed lawyer they do receive is so terribly overworked, and so grossly understaffed, that he or she often cannot provide even minimally adequate representation. – What Does the Supreme Court Really Think About the Right to Counsel?
