Bill Off to NY

Bill is off to NY today for a hearing on his child support issue. He settled with his ex wife in August 2006, but NY did not properly record the settlement. Hence, his passport is being withheld due to non-payment of child support he doesn't owe! His hearing is scheduled for Friday. Hopefully they will be able to do it in the morning. I've been to those courts before and they are an absolute zoo. At least he has a lawyer this time. They always take the cases with lawyers first.

We could've saved a lot of time and cash if he'd just read the paperwork his lawyer sent him down to the fine print. He could've done his interview over the phone if he had contacted the state atty general's office down here and scheduled it with them. That not paying attention to detail will cost us about $700-$1,000 in gas and lodging fees, not to mention his lost time from work. Stuff like this makes me very thankful that I don't have testicles emitting lots of the stuff that occasionally clouds your brain function.

Gotta go back to work now. Feel like a mushroom - they keep me in the dark and feed me sh*t.
