Court Yesterday

justmakingthebest's picture

The judge refused the set aside and now wants a full hearing for everything. The dates we are currently being given are dates when DH will be out to sea. Trying to work this out is so freaking impossible. I hate BM so much. 

Upcoming Hearings

Our set aside hearing is tomorrow. Thankfully we didn't have to fly to KS for this one. It is just removing the order that was illegally entered to begin with. (She is claiming that DH owes 32K in arrears, a lot of that being medical charges she never told us about and has yet to show proof of and she is lying about working so she was calculated at $0 income). Of course we have to pay and attorney to make that happen, but whatever.

NSMR- Buying our retirement house

DH's grandparents built the perfect home for retirement. It is in DH's hometown, which is a small town in KS. DH has a lot of family there and I don't mind it. It's not on a coast but with the cost of living there- we can afford to travel.

We thought we would have 2-3 years before we would have to make this decision but it turns out that we are going to have to buy this thing by May if we want it. 

NSMR- I AM SO FREAKING PROUD!

My son is a finalist in the NASA Poject!! 

He has done an entry for the last 3 years and had some really great designs but this year he won! He is going to Houston next month to present but either way his design is going to space! If he wins overall, there is a large scholarship for him and a grant for the school. 

He has worked so hard the last 5 months on this thing and he did it! I am bursting with joy for him! I just had to put it somewhere :) 

Date set... Again

We finally got another court date set for the set aside hearing. April 5th. Thankfully this is one we don't have to be present for. After this we will get the trial to settle CS... for an 18 yr old that will be graduating in 60 days. Makes sense right? 

I am about to fly to freaking Kansas

Had a court date set, BM's attorney canceled it and now won't respond for a new hearing date. 

How can this be happening?!?!?

Has anyone ever called the other party's attorney and lost their mind? I wonder what would happen? I mean 14 FREAKING MONTHS we have been trying to set this hearing. SS gradates in 3 months. DH has been told by his command to "be ready" by Memorial Day for his deployment. I know they aren't leaving that soon (Yay for being the command Ombudsman) but it isn't far off. We don't have time for this to keep dragging on. 

Wills and Such

With DH's deployment looming we have been discussing updating wills. 

He was mentioning that if something were to happen to him to make sure I reach out to the right people for his military coin collection because they are probably worth 15-20K- so sell whatever the kids or I don't want. 

It made me pause and ask, would you want SS18 to have any? He actually said I don't want SS to even know that I am dead until I have been cold and buried for at least 6 months and you have the entire estate settled. I don't even know if I want him to know where I am buried. 

I hate Kansas Courts!

I can't believe we are still dealing with the same shit from a year ago.

BM's attorney won't respond to ours for a court date. The judge told our Lawyer that last week since there was no response that he could pick the date. He went to pick the date and the judge came back and said to give them another week. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME.
