MM, what happened today????

I've been thinking of you all day, although I had no internet access until just now. But there is no update ...

Hi MM,

GOOD LUCK & PRAYERS....FRANK

BUMP!!!

OK, soldier, how goes the war?

Okay folks. Thanks for the support. Just a quick update from the front...

Wife did indeed file. The filing is on the clerks desk, and was not posted as of close of business yesterday afternoon. I might find out today...almost certainly tomorrow!

So, it is taking a little longer for enemy fire to land on my position. We are still hunkered down in our foxholes here, waiting for impact.

Standing by...

In His arms.

((( MM )))

MM

You probably don't remember me but you did help me & my H a few times and I shall be forever grateful as I am to so many others here who 'held' my hand for many months ... well still do at times I admit. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I am so sorry to see what is happening to you & the continuing pain your wife is causing you & the children.
If its ok I will pray for you when I also pray for some others here who are going through such hard and difficult times.

My wonderful H is still a soldier and has just returned from another little outing where thank the good Lord he was not required to even leave the ship this time. See prayers do work!!

My mum came across a poem the other day that she thought explains my dad, a vietnam vet and also my H very well, and it does. Bit sad, but there is hope in it, and having been a soldier yourself maybe this portion of the poem will speak to you too and help to keep your chin up.
..........

and in their ghostly smiles
and in my guilt filled dreams
of one who lived but died inside
I find an answer
If an answer can be found
At all

You can draw your souls water
from the clear spring
whose source is not fear -
but hope,
and not revenge -
but compassion.

Thank you...I do remember. And the song does speak to me!!

In His arms.

My prayers are with you Mortarman. I appreciate that you held your ground but remained firm and collected and cool. I wish you the very best.

-Nothing very good and nothing very bad last for very long.

more prayers your way.

she is in for something she is not going to like.

but let the infidels enjoy this moment...it's only the calm before the storm...and you know what shall happen.

you're guaranteed to be the only one standing..."therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground; and after having DONE EVERYTHING...TO STAND!"

Hold your position, soldier. You are protected. Keep us posted.

Okay...went to courthouse today and got the paperwork. She has filed for divorce (cant understand what the possible grounds are)...and for custody and child support.

In the filing, say that I was emotionally cruel (why does everyone go to that one when they dont really have a case?) and that I have not provided financially for the household (again, rather east to prove that is NOT true...so Mortarman is sitting here scratching his head wondering "what gives?"

Interesting thing that I am waiting on my lawyer about....

The address she used is her new address. The address she used for me to have served to me is the house she just moved out of. I also found out by going to the courthouse that the pretrial hearing is this Friday.

Now, the reason this is interesting is that if they pin that document on our old house this afternoon (they had already headed out to do so), then I would have not gotten it. Which means, I would not have known to show up in court Friday. Which means...this was a lawyers move to try to get into court without me there and get some sort of initial ruling.

Oh, how I trust the Lord! It just so happens my attorney saw her entering the courthouse last week. If he had not have seen her, I would have had no idea that she had gone to file. Coincidence?

So, my attorney will be there Friday. Most of her filing is bogus,and easily proven so. Oh, I forgot one thing...her filing stated that I was removed from the household by the police...which is again not true. And we will have the officers in court to state that!

So, her stuff is just messed up. And I wonder, since her attorney is regarded as one of the best in the area...what he must be thinking with such a weak case? Is he just counting on my wife and MIL getting on the stand and lying and blubbering all over the place? So, maybe the judge will say "oh, poor dear?"

One last thing in the update...

We got the same judge as last time!!!!!!!!!!! That guy aint gonna like what she has done here. Not at all. He didnt like it the last time. If this judge is anywhere like what my attorney portrayed him the first time, then my wife's arguments are just going to irk him.

So, the first shot has been fired. And I have to say...while it can result in the loss of my kids if things dont go well in court...I do have to say that as I peek up out of my foxhole, there aint much damage here. I have to say that I am in pretty good shape.

I must take care of the housing situation. With that, all legitimate issues she might bring up would be gone.

So, Mortarman has finally been fired upon. But she missed. And I am now out of my foxhole. I have called in fire support. And I have fixed bayonets. She fired the first shot. From this point on, I keep firing and moving forward until victory. No mercy until surrender! I will keep you updated from the front as things happen. Much of what I might post, I may not post for awhile as I need to keep OPSEC (operational security). Dont want my wife to troll around on here and find our plans. So, I will only post things after they are no longer relevent to the case.

Mortarman is now on the move. Ever Forward!

In His arms

glad to hear you're proactive. know it is a difficult time. but you will make it thru this....just take apart her case brick by brick until there is nothing left standing...and get on the housing issue asap...you don't have to have a fancy house, just a place where you have a room, kids have rooms, and nice and clean and yard to play or plenty of greenspace/playground nearby that's safe. that is what a judge is looking for.

I am so glad that you are aware....mine was a total blind side...the "he is cruel and dangerous" card almost did not work in my case, in fact I was served with 2 separate show cause orders and two court dates...it seemed that judge 1 said "there is no basis or evidence" for him to be removed from the home, "plaintiff has not provided any witnesses or documentation" of abuse....hearing in 21 days....

then her lawyer finds another judge he calls ex parte (no rebuttal) hearing, wife testifies I am a lunatic, not stable, fears for kids safety , I threatened to take them"...this judge issues immediate order of protection and removal from home...seems as if he did not do this 8 years prior and husband was served with D papers and promptly shot and killed his W and then himself...do you think her attorney knew??

Long and short of it...judges don't like liars and sneaks. take care of business...and yourself....drop me a line and let me know how you're doing!!!

((EDITTED to take out sensitive evidence!)) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like something out of "Boston Legal"!

We can't wait for the SHOCK AND AWE!!

Are you sure you should be posting some of this stuff, MM? Maybe you want to remove it, save it, and repost it this weekend?

(And krusht remove excerpts?)

it is the FOG that has the ww and her mom believing their story...it is THEIR FOGGED perception of it that's all mortar.

never fear, even a great attorney can DOWNPLAY the facts, but they cannot ERASE THE TRUTH...and that's what he's gonna try to do...downplay the real facts and truth so he can spin his way into ifluencing the judge.

unless he's truly matlock, he'll have a difficult time doing this.

AM,

"(And krusht remove excerpts?)

Good point, understood.

First court action is in a few minutes. Just wanted to keep you updated. I am not attending...just my attorney. So, please keep the prayers going. Thanks again.

In His arms.

Flare prayer sent up.
