Took the second TRO myself to file at the district clerk. Waiting on judge to set hearing and it will be picked up for service. Should be scheduled around 11/5.

I AM GOING TO RANT A BIT - THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER COME TO A 2ND TRO

(THANKS PROCESS SERVERS WHO DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY WERE PAID TO DO)

A TEMPORARY ORDER IS GOOD FOR 14 DAYS - THAT SHOULD PUSH IT UP THE PRIORITY LIST DUE TO THE SHORT DURATION, AND THE VERY NATURE OF A TRO - IT IS A RESTRAINING ORDER

WE ORIGINALLY HAD COURT SET FOR 9/16 - BUT THE PROCESS SERVERS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN SERVING RESPONDENT MOTHER.

DID I MENTION THAT THEY DIDN'T PICK UP THE PAPERS FROM THE CLERK WITH THE CITATION FOR 4 DAYS AFTER THEY WERE READY TO BE PICKED UP. THEN THEY DIDN'T RETURN PHONE CALLS FROM ROBERT'S OFFICE OR ME.

THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ATTEMPTS TO SERVE HER AS REQUIRED TO SHOW DUE DILIGENCE, SO INSTEAD OF US JUST BEING ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE OVER 18 TO DO IT, WE HAVE TO DICK AROUND SOME MORE ON THIS SECOND TRO AND LET THEM EXHAUST THEIR CHANCES. THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT

CHILD IS 17, WANTS TO LIVE HERE, MOTHER HIT AND CONTINUES TO VERBALLY/EMOTIONALLY/PSYCHOLOGICALLY ABUSES HER, AND WE PREPAID ALL CHILD SUPPORT THROUGH CHILD'S GRAD DATE PRIOR TO THE ALTERCATION THAT PROMPTED CHILD TO MOVE OUT OF MOTHER'S HOUSE AND IN WITH US. THE TICKER FOR MOTHER TO BEGIN PAYING SUPPORT DOESN'T START UNTIL SHE IS SERVED.

CHILD LIVED ALL BUT 4 DAYS WITH US THIS SUMMER - SO 3 MONTHS AT 800 A MONTH                                                                                              =2400
ADD THE CAR WE HAD TO BUY HER BECAUSE MOTHER REFUSED TO LET HER TAKE THE CAR THAT WAS HERS WHEN SHE LIVED THERE.       =2000

PLUS COSTS OF EXTENDED POSSESSION - FOOD, GAS, SUNDRIES, SCHOOL EXPENSES, ETC... =1000

PLUS NEW ENGINE FOR CAR BECAUSE ENGINE BLEW UP (CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES WHILE CHILD SPENDING WEEK WITH MOTHER - FATHER ASKED BOTH MOTHER AND STEPFATHER TO CHECK THE OIL AND THE COOLANT AND WATER.  AND ALSO ASKED THAT THEY NOT ALLOW ASHLEY TO DRIVE IT BUT TO AND FROM SCHOOL.  SAID THAT THEY WOULD, BUT CAR ENGINE BLEW OUT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN CHILD WAS ALONE NEXT TO A RAIL YARD.  LATER WE DISCOVERED THAT NEITHER MOTHER NOR STEPFATHER DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO)

ANYWAY - NEW ENGINE =650

IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS - WE ALSO HAVE LEGAL FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS THING =3000

AS WELL AS MOTHER FAILING TO PROVIDE THE CHILD WITH ALLOWANCE OR MONEY FOR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WHILE SHE IS THERE.

She is stealing from her child.  All because she feels that she deserves the money (and sends her child and stepchild to a 7k a year private school (and they got new braces  - as did her husband)

BITCH
