My life is consumed right now with courts, documents, lawyer talk, social security office, child support enforcement offices, etc. So not fun. Went to court (Juvenile and Domestic relations) last Friday. Disappointing. I got another court date from the judge in 60 days. Got an assignment from the judge on how to start handling part of the situation, which involves contacting sheriff's office in another state. Yeah, fun and money involved too. And, time off work to handle all the stuff at the courts offices when they're actually open when, oh, I'm normally at work. Ugh.
