So continues the story of the neverending lawlz filled drama that is my life.
So last Thursday I got the official Case Dismissed for all of this crap we have have been dealing with. There was still the slight matter of the criminal protection order in place which was barring everything from finally returning to normal.
Fast forward to yesterday. I went to my lawyer after work to pay my bill and ask about the order, in hopes of moving all of this along to a satisfactory conclusion. Turns out that on Thursday they dismissed the order as well but didn't bother to mention it to either my attorney or myself. Such is life.
So I called the gf and let her know that everything was over and done with, and there was much rejoicing.
Until she called her ex to let him know. Her ex won't answer the phone when she calls so she has to relay everything thru his mom to get the message thru. Thankfully though he still lives at home so it's not too tough to do. He finally called her back later last night and spent the better part of an hour yelling at her about how the order isn't dropped because he was never notified and she is a bad mom because she left him for me.
Originally there were two orders in place, one civil, one criminal. The civil lapsed on September 5th and he never bothered to renew it. The criminal was dismissed on the 26th and he refuses to acknowledge it because he was never notified. The law books that he writes say that nothing is allowed to happen without his approval. The law books that sane people use say that criminal orders have nothing to do with him but between the state and who the order is against. Which was re-affirmed by the sergeant on duty that we spoke with after talking to her ex.
Anywho, so he said that he wasn't going to let her have her son and even though he was leaving for a hunting trip he was going to tell his mom to not let her have her son. This is all fine and dandy to him, although slightly against the law to everyone else. Because his mom is not a parent or legal gaurdian, this can be construed as kidnapping which is against the law. Believe it or not.
So tonight after work we are going to pick him up, and if she says no, we go back out there with a cop to have her arrested and the gf can finally bring her son home. Then the next morning we will be filing a civil protection order aginst her ex to keep him away from the gf. If this all shakes out, that would mean the only way for him to see his son from this point on would be me taking his son to him. Oh, the ironies that life dishes out please me sometimes.
Ain't life grand?
Oh, and BT and Kaelesh, do your worst. I know you both get your rocks off by trying to get me all worked up, but not this day. This day is mine.
