His Side: Father Spends 3 Months in Jail for Returning Phone Call

His Side with Glenn Sacks ^ | 9/7/03 | Glenn Sacks

if anyone else wants to hear a horror stort freep mail me and I will send my appeal document- you will be stunned.

This is typical for Massachusetts. A co-worker of mine went through this hell a few years ago. A police officer actually visited the schoolteacher of this guy's kid and told her that if he attempted to contact her for any reason (including how his son was doing in school) that she should contact the police immediately. When the mess got straightened out later (the charges of physical abuse were "dropped" by the wife), the father felt like a criminal going to the next school open house.

It is a common tactic here for women to charge the husband with physical abuse and then drop the charges later in exchange for a divorce settlement that is advantageous to the wife. (As if they need the cards stacked in their favor even more.)

Stories like this lend a certain irony to the notion of queers wanting to be married and play house, doesn't it?

A friend of mine got a restraining order on him from a false
report filed by his wife when she threw him out for cheating.
A couple weeks later she calls begging him to come back and
come over. A few minutes after arriving at his former home
the police showed up to escort him to prison for a year.
Beware, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and backed by
a clueless government.

I think that happens everywhere.

I have a Niece who is extraordinarily pretty. In some ways she is ok but she has taken her husbands to the cleaners in really dishonorable ways.

She left her first husband and her second one, getting custody of the children plus alimony and child support. She then married a very wealthy one and got him to adopt her children. Her ex's agreed to this to get rid of the high child support. She then left the rich one and has him paying really high child support plus alimony.

She plain and simply has used her looks to rob her husbands.

Stories like this are one of the reasons I'm glad that divorce is against my wife and I's religion.

The government isn't clueless. They made the system to be this way by design. It's all about how much incentive they can give a woman to turn spiteful and so the state can exert more control over more people. Lots of government jobs and business for members of the Bar, who write the laws they benefit from financially.

One aspect of restraining orders that rarely gets addressed, is the fact that the woman is not constrained by them.  The man cannot go within certain distances of her or the children.  He cannot contact them in any manner.  However, if the little dear wants to contact the man, she can.  She can send him mail, e-mail, phone him and do just about anything else she wants to.

My former wife obtained a restraining order on me.  She kicked me out of a home that was registered in my name.  After that she thought nothing of calling me and asking me to do favors for her that would bring me into her presence in clear violation of the restraining order.  Clearly the woman had nothing to fear, but the manipulation of the courts was quite successful.  It facilitated her abandonment of our 13 and 14 year old children every night and every weekend, as she proceeded to shack up with her boyfriend at another location.

Sooooo.....

..... can I get an introduction?

[HenryLeeII]

This is further evidence that not all homicides are crimes.

[Orangedog]

She plain and simply has used her looks to rob her husbands.

More accurately, she used HER CHILDREN to rob her husbands. The good looks was just what she used to get the men interested. Alimony is small potatos because not many women get it and it's deductable for the men. But children are used to plunder and control men in way that would make Stalin dance a jog of glee.

I long for a day when people who exploit kids like that end up in 1930's style chain gangs, but the people who write the laws use kids as much as anyone else, so it will never happen.

She is now married again. This time to the Sheriff's Brother.

Actually this one might last. They have been married several years and her looks are starting to fade.

[The Brush]

I had a restraining order against me during my divorce.
My ex found a lover during our 10 year marriage. I became depressed and she was "afraid of me".
I was threatened with jail for leaving her a message at work telling her to change the contact phone number for her cell phone account.
She moved in with her boyfriend but, since Illinois is no fault, being depressed about adultery became my fault.
Judgement Day is going to make for some interesting stories from lawyers.

[Lazamataz]

and her looks are starting to fade.

Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go now.

[netmilsmom]

I do so agree. I told my hubby that we are in this for the long haul, so if you think divorce is an option, think again. He will not get out of it before my little one is 18. (this was before we were married)
I think that "Friend of the Court" is a bunch of extortionists wanting to break up families to keep the money rolling in.

We missed ya, Laz!

We missed ya, Laz!

Next time, use a flatter-trajectory bullet.
