MOURNFULLY to and fro, to and fro the trees are waving; What did you say, my dear? The rain-bruised leaves are suddenly shaken, as a child Asleep still shakes in the clutch of a sob- Yes, my love, I hear.
One lonely bell, one only, the storm-tossed afternoon is braving, Why not let it ring? The roses lean down when they hear it, the tender, mild Flowers of the bleeding-heart fall to the throb- It is such a little thing!
A wet bird walks on the lawn, call to the boy to come and look, Yes, it is over now. Call to him out of the silence, call him to see The starling shaking its head as it walks in the grass- Ah, who knows how?
He cannot see it, I can never show it him, how it shook- Don't disturb him, darling. -Its head as it walked: I can never call him to me, Never, he is not, whatever shall come to pass. No, look at the wet starling.
~ D.H. Lawrence. 1885-1930
My husband’s discovery was due today. I reminded his attorney multiple times; and as usual; he ignored the emails. Now, the deadline has passed. I am so tired of the petty and stupid games, so I will be filing a motion to compel with the Court. I wish I could say I am surprised, but I am not.

Might this have any implications when it comes to a ruling later on? I mean, will this, as it should, cast doubt on the legitimacy of his case, whatever that might be?
It should, but I have completely lost faith in man’s justice. He is employed in a high-accountability profession where they are all just covering each other’s hindquarters… he has gotten away with flagrantly inappropriate behaviour so far in this proceeding. I mean seriously, the dude had my utilities turned off and not a darned thing will ever happen to him because of that. Our divorce system in this country is rotten and wicked to the core. His attorney is quite frankly a jerk that I have no respect for; I just don’t think he is a good attorney. I deal with a lot of jerky attorneys in my job, and I have a grudgingly respect for those that are jerks but they are also very good attorneys. Whatever my husband is paying this guy, it’s too much. My husband probably wasn’t even informed about this discovery deadline. Who the heck knows. We have a temporary support hearing coming up next week, and his attorney just sent me the most ignorantly ridiculous email that I despair of there being any horse sense in this process.
Now, I have not met the Judge, but fortunately he seems to have a very good reputation as a no-nonsense and fair man.
I once again pointed out to his alleged “Christian” attorney that this should be out of the Court system and in the hands of Christian mediators or arbitrators. I hear what I always hear when this is brought up…. crickets. Christian my left foot.
Yeah, if there was ever a time when calling oneself “Christian” meant anything, it has largely passed. I’ll pray that the judge is, as his reputation seems to suggest, a “no-nonsense and fair man.”
totally. If it “costs” something, all of a sudden Christianity goes out the window.
I had to ask this guy to write me emails in Standard American English grammar, because no lie, this is how he writes so that I cannot figure what the heck he means.
EXAMPLE
There is a…. hearing…. next week….. you might incur fees…. in my….. professional opinion.
*****
I might be generous to even include a period in my example. The guy thinks that English contains only ellipses which can be used for any purpose.
soon all these court dealings will be put behind you and you can breathe easier when you don’t have to deal with attorneys,,deadlines… you’re so lucky you still have a good bod and don’t have to worry about having skin like a roadmap thanks to veins and scars and THEN have to deal with being alone hoping cellulite cream and a tan will do it for Mr.Next. Don’t forget once in a while to flaunt it while you got it. God bless.
Thank you princesa. I know… by next year, this will all be a faded memory. It just galls me that his attorney is such an incompetent jerk. I am just a legal assistant, but if I treated cases the way he treats this one, I would be fired before I knew what hit me. Whatever he is paying this guy, it is too much.
I want him to make my day and try to go after me for attorney’s fees. Unless he is getting paid by the misused ellipsis or ignored email; I am not concerned.
His attorney handed me the discovery at the hearing today. It was dated today. That means he didn’t bother to have it done by the deadline which was last week. I wonder if I would have ever gotten it if I hadn’t pushed the issue. He ignored every single email inquiring about it.
I haven’t had to time to review it. I can’t review legal documents on the fly, so I need to put aside some time to review. Since I have 90 days to refinance the house, I will likely propound some followup discovery. It won’t matter towards temporary support as we already argued that hearing, unless I want to try again (too stressful, not worth it), but it will for the divorce. He remediated one huge thing on his financial affidavit that I had an issue with, and I still think he was lying. He tried to claim he was paying $1200 a month not including utilities or food or anything as a roomate! Liar, liar. If he kept up that charade, I would ask for proof that his bad company friend was claiming that rental income on his tax returns. For that amount of money he could have rented a luxury apartment on his own. His excuse today for not getting his own apartment was equally ridiculous, but I really can’t discuss that here without revealing information of a more personal nature than I wish to discuss. Just say that I ain’t buying it. If I asked him to prove where he tried to get an apartment, I am sure the sound of crickets would be overwhelming.
And I find out today (that he claims) that he never removed my name as beneficiary of his life insurance policy. Great. Wonderful…. and precisely WHY could he not have just told me that after well over a dozen inquiries? Why did he force me to file a motion with the Court? That is just stupid. All but one issue in dispute could have been settled privately without wasting the Judge’s time… but noooooo. Sigh.
