In November, I was awarded by the Court my House.
The first thing the Attorney said was, ”Why do you want it?”
I told her because it is two acres of land and the recession will be over one of these days.
“Well, you realize you have sole responsibility for the Mortgage, Taxes, Utilities, etc. so in lieu of you getting the house you will receive no Alimony.”
And then she left another bombshell in December.
“Because you are behind in paying your Attorney fees, we are going to bring an end to your case. We are also putting a Deed of Trust on your property.”
“What?” I said on the phone to her. “And in case you don’t know what that is, we basically own your house until you pay us.”
“Now?” Are you leaving me this month?
“Yes, we are pulling out this month.”
“But….but you can’t. I have no one to defend me if we end up in Trial this coming March.”
“Not our problem. We will send you a formal letter of withdrawal.” She hung up.
I had already realized in these last nine months that Court is a he-says, she- says, and no one is going to win.
Judges and Police don’t know you from Adam.
