Hello Finding Peace-
I guess my fence didn't provide as much protection as I thought it did. But this board really saved my bacon! I was taking a bath, and the puppy and others were in back. I heard a funny noise, grabbed a towel, looked out and an angry man was on my porch glaring at me(he had scaled the fence). He began not knocking but furiously pounding and screaming at the top of his lungs!!!! This went on for a long time, and he started kicking the door. I remembered a prior post (Please forgive me, I don't remember who posted, but I will look it up and thank you later)- I pushed some of the boxes in the living room up to the door and held on to the knob- then he tried to kick the door and alternated with trying to pry open the handle, etc. He never idntified himself and I was shaking all over. Finally he gave up, scaled the fence again and screamed- "You're served!!!" It was Bagworm's LAWYER!!! I had just gotten a video camera etc, and neighbors saw, and I am having professionals get statements.
Bagworm filed for divorce(I didn't have his address, and he still used a PO box.) He wants me to support him for life, wants me to give him the money that he stole from our account, and wants his things. I packed his things with great difficulty weeks ago, and he wouldn't take them when he brought the cops! Now he is acting as if I want them!
I was told I would need a forensic accountant in order to prove that I didn't take the money that HE took, at the tune of $5,000-$10,000. Praise God- I have a friend at my Credit Union, and she is printing all the statements with how everything under my control was spent (ie $50.00 for Texaco, etc) for free!!!And by accident, the bank where he stashed the $$$ sent me a copy of the check where he cleared out the cash the day of service!!!!Can you spell fraud????Yes, I can!!!!Praise Our Merciful God!!!!!
I got a schedule of Bagworm's games and position in softball, in case he tries to say that he is disabled!!! I also got other great items of proof. However, one never knows which judge or other personage is in whoever's pocket- Please continue to pray, the hearing for support (he is supposed to support ME by law, as I am disabled, but he is demanding half of my pathetic money, even though he took a large joint savings account and hid it, and he is educated and able bodied, plays softball 5 times a week.- he wants to reduce me to nothing. How much more spartan can I get!!??!! (I don't want to know!) He also wants me to sign everything over and buy him a new car (even though he is unemployed by choice!)- it is so outrageous that I have to think that he has bought someone with some say-so. I am steeling myself for a phony judgement, and trying to get everything on the record now, in case I need to appeal- it is so much harder to add things later (even though I don't even have 30 days). Please pray that I prevail at the hearing stage, though. That would be sweet!!!
But God has helped me so much already- the items of proof coming in the mail were like a balm to my soul- I have caught up in law school (the work I turned in was horrible,I didn't sleep for 2 nights at a time, then a little one night, then 2 nights, etc., just typed from memory, etc, but all items but one are ungraded, so I turned off the perfectionist part of my mind, worked ceaselessly,and just did it! Now I can study in peace for the graded items, and I can have a short meeting with that woman at the school. Please pray that I do well in my classes!)
I am finally not so afraid, and am going to put security doors on (I love my pretty front door, but- oh well. It hurts that the pretty things that I did are being destroyed, one by one.) My yard looks like Tobacco Road again, I hate to see it like this, but I am going to pay someone else to pack the Bagworm's stuff and label and initial each box with what is in it, just to preclude any funny business. Then I can set about fixing things again!
I was very shaken by that lawyer jumping my fence, as he has to be unbalanced or unethical to do something that illegal and that scares me- I have good witnesses, and hope to take his eggregious and illegal actions up with the Bar (I am getting my student card soon- how strange to start like this!!)
I have even made up a case file with the responses and evidence, etc., just like the big kids! I am meeting with my lawyer today ( Bagworm and Rotten Lawyer think Im in pro per because I have filed everything that way!! It will be fun when we insert counsel!!!!)
Please pray that I get the house completely cleared before the hearing, and that the judge is fair and Bagworm doesn't get support, our property isn't signed over to him, and he has to give back my money!!! Thank you so much for caring and supporting me, and for the post about leaning on the door!!Oh,and please pray that I find my missing Contracts case book!!! (Lots of prayers!)The funny thing is , with all of this, I am so much happier now than when Bagworm had his foot on my neck (except when I think someone is trying to harm me!)- I am just going to keep going forward. Thank you again for helping me along!!!
Love and Peace ,
