Upstairs, Downstairs

Dear Amica:

Today, while I was on the second floor of the courthouse, FSO was on the third floor having a hearing on some criminal matter. His lawyer - at a total loss it appears and whose only strategy since he has to report back to a bipolar/manic control freak is to disagree with each request (btw, the judge went with our requests so that is good) - didnt know exactly why. He thought it had to do with a violation of the Order of Protection. He said he's been in jail for 10 days. But I had him arrested 14 days ago. And one of our cops told me he was out that morning after posting 300 buck bond.

So someone is confused somewhere. I'm dying to know whats going on. I put in a call to the states attorney who was doing his case and asked her to call me back and let me know. I have a legitimate reason to know so I hope I wont have to work very hard to get the info.

And believe it or not, his lawyer said he wants to fight my having sole custody (it has to do with who makes decisions, not with who has them physically) and he wants the order of protection taken back. My lawyer said neither is feasible and its going to be an expensive fight over whats already a given.

Sigh ..
