Hi Everyone,
If you couldn’t guess from the title of today’s blog, I’ve had to make what is called, An Offer to Settle. For anyone who doesn’t already know this is common practice in family law as a way of getting one party (side of person going through the court system) to have the other side weigh their options before continuing with the legal proceedings which means going to trial.
I put in my Offer to Settle over a week ago and the closing date is tomorrow which is another day of court for me and my daughter’s father attorney. I’m not sure if my daughter’s father is required to be there but he is going to have to decide if he is going to accept my Offer to Settle. From all of the paperwork his attorney has given me, on behalf of him, I would have to say that the chance of him accepting it is slim. This is especially true since my daughter’s father said, “I am informed by my counsel, and do verily believe, that the case law provides that an individual cannot bring a proceeding of child support, current or retroactive, unless the child is in his or her care.” There was another sentence but it is just more of the above. I found both sentences interesting for a variety of reasons. This is what I mean.
I, too verily believe in a lot of things. The first are the Universal Laws, one being KARMA!!! Another Universal law is JUSTICE! According to the Universal Laws, Justice sees all and, like KARMA does not discriminate. Everyone reaps what they sow and gets served what they deserve! There are other Universal Laws that I believe in but I will save them for another blog. Those Universal Laws, as the ones I briefly mentioned above, deserve more than the few sentences I have time for.
Since I very strongly believe in ALL of the Universal Laws, I am going to suggest that my daughter’s father accept my Offer to Settle. What he decides to do with my suggestion is up to him, but, in my opinion, if I were him, I would get those certified cheques ready for tomorrow. Why certified cheques you ask? Well, it seems as if my daughter’s father not only has a nasty habit of hiding money, he also has a habit of putting stop payment on cheques.
According to some Court Notes from March 12, 1992, someone recorded my daughter’s father saying, “However, respondent (him) later stopped payment on the cheque because he did not feel it necessary to be compromised in this particular manner.” The cheque that is being referred to is the child support cheque.
Now should I have that and the other original Court notes? My thinking is probably not, but you know how all of that governmental paperwork gets misplaced. I guess someone decided to place that and other paperwork in my hands for future reference. I could be wrong, but I really don’t think I am. I think a lot of things and one is that I have to get back to getting ready for tomorrow and of course Friday because that too is another day in court.
Let’s just see if, justice will be done and if justice will be seen to be done. Because the way I see is, a payor parent who has decided to ROB their only child of a life that they are legally and morally entitled to, by withholding child support, only to build their wealth on the back of their only child should not be allowed to now demand that the law be enforced as a means of protecting them from what they should have been doing all along. (On a side note: if anyone has been paying attention, I just paraphrased the above sentence from the blog, Now HE Wants the Law to…. Here’s the link, http://arebelsrant.com/now-he-wants-the-law-to/
And here’s the link to, “Justice Must Be Done And….”
