When court is not a hearing.......

Well, The judge considered two points:
1. My ex was named in the writ and should have been served. All the documents were mailed to her, but she was not formally served with a summons.
2. An obscure procedural technicality on time limits from the initiation of the action to the court date today. Both lawyers were ready to proceed. Judge kiboshed.
So, no stay of enforcement. No hearing. We will re-initiate the action, either by renewal or by filing new. We will serve the ex. FMEP now claims that some of the money does go to her, despite earlier contradictory statements from both California and FMEP.
My facts and statements have not changed in 20 years. Cali and FMEP have changed their stories every time they say something.
Can you say "duck and dodge" boys and girls?

PAIN AND VALUES

I originally wrote this for Jack Hittrich, Nanc's attorney in this case. Hopefully, readers of this blog will find it inspiring:

"Great events and horrific trials identify the outstanding individuals among us. They take the ordinary man or woman and, if they have the right steel, forge them into the tools of history. Pain is the birthright of humans. What the individual does with that pain is the story of their life. For the few that find their true temper – turning their personal suffering to the service of others – there we see the shining blades that are the power and the real value of our species."
