Court Hearings 2002 Patricia filed for Divorce in February of 2002. Between her filing and our Final Decree in December of 2004 we averaged a hearing a month. We spent time in Family Court, Domestic Violence, Civil, Bankruptcy and finally Criminal. The majority of hearings were recorded and are public record. December 2, 2002 As many of the hearings in 2003 indicate, Patricia went long periods without any attempt to contact the children. From February of 2004 to October of 2004, she made no attempt to contact the children and claimed in Court filings that she was unaware of any order prohibiting contact with the children. What Patricia did not realize that with the children living with me over seventy-five percent of the time is that she would assume responsibility for child support. She appeared fine with not seeing the children but subsequent events indicate she was not happy with the idea of supporting them. The following is from a blog I wrote in October of 2005 “How the Children Came to Live with Their Father” On November 15th Patricia obtained her bifurcated divorce and married her boyfriend within an hour of our divorce. She defied the Judge’s instructions on how the children were to be told and the two younger children showed up at my office knowing all the details while their big brother knew nothing. Patricia violated the proposed property settlement before the ink was dry and I immediate worked toward getting the settlement thrown out. Her remarriage eliminated any alimony and direct cash support was scheduled to end December 20th. But it took a week for Patricia to figure out about child support. Glen with me 100% of the time and the other two with me nine out of fourteen days meant that the parent plan called for the children to live with me 75% of the time. I would have to pay daycare in addition to the medical and dental insurance I already provided. This meant that Patricia would owe me child support, as much as $750 a month. And how did my fresh ex ex-wife respond to this news? Why by going to CYFD Child Protective Services and filing a complaint against me for not taking care of Montie’s health, specifically his asthma. She told the Guardian Ad Litem, her attorney, and any one else that listened that the parenting plan would have to be put aside, that I could not take care of the children. The facts are very specific. Her initial reaction to the parenting plan was positive, in fact the most positive week of the divorce. It was not until my attorney faxed her attorney the child support worksheet that the problem with Montie’s asthma occurred and she decided I was an unfit father. Montie reports the attack as real and as the worst one he ever had. It occurred late at night at his mother’s house. Now that I write about it, that scares the hell out of me. I believe Montie did have asthma as a toddler, but he had gone almost a year without a treatment. I remember Patricia’s subsequent crushing of apple seeds to get cyanide for a suicide attempt and tonight I ask -- what caused Montie’s ‘asthma’ attack? Did his mother give him something that caused the attack? I only learned from Montie a few days ago that the attack was real. Before this, I always thought of the attack as one of Patricia’s trumped up events, but now with Montie’s report and my knowledge of the depth of Patricia’s illness, I am not sure. It is a scary thought and one that haunted me every night the children spent with their mother. Yates had just drowned her children in Texas and now this mom threw her children into San Francisco bay. Some days it is just a scary world. Thank you Lord for bringing my children safely into my arms. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective and subsequent events, the ‘asthma’ incident failed. Protective Services contacted both the Guardian Ad Litem and Montie’s doctor and became satisfied as to the quality of care I provided. Next, a bruise appeared on Montie’s butt, allegedly the result of my beating Montie. Once again Montie made a trip to the doctor and Protective Services became involved. This is the first hearing where the parties spoke out, mainly Patricia as she tried to talk the Judge out of ordering her to pay child support. Hearing Part One
