no one called my appeal attorney to let her know papers were ready at courthouse, she only had 4 days to do the brief for my appeal. She hoped it was a error that they didnt call. I dont think so, last lawyer didnt receive any notice about our court date. I just happened to call to see what was going on. If I had not showed up in court I would have lost before it got started. This is what happens in a small town where everyone is friends or family. she had already started the brief so it didnt make much difference. It was sent in on time. will be hearing from X attorney on the 9th. It will tell us what X wants. Son is afraid he will ask for full custody. He was talking about running away if dad comes after him. I told him no, but Im not sure, Son is over the age to make that choice. some good news legal aide of fl gave me referral for Al. have to use Al while appeal is going on even though Ive lived here long enough to move case here. Fl is asking Legal services in Montgomery Al for enforcement/contempt on X, he wont pay court order medicial & school for son. X thinks if he just pays childsupport they wont do anything. He is behind almost $1000. Fl says they will handle it if Al wont make him pay. Im not asking for anything X didnt promise me before he left with MOW. If X had kept his promise he made to son & me back in 4-01. Both of us would not have spent all our savings on lawyers. X wouldnt have a child who says he hates him & OW. X only thinks about OW & the money he needs to keep her happy. He lost his only child, home, savings to lawyers, wife who loved him. If you are going though a D, dont listen to friends, or lawyers who promise you everything. X listed & it costed him everything he had for the last 18 yrs.
