huh? Judge Judy's been a FAMILY COURT judge...

Judge Judy Says...
Just from what I've seen, if it is in your possession, then you assume due care and protection of the property. You are responsible. Doesn't matter if hubby was too tired to unload. I'd stil make a police report stating it was stolen from their home to document details. then I'd take them to small claims court. Sounds like if the situation were reversed, your sister would already have a lawyer!
Judge Judy says an accident is just that and not
x
Yeah and I can hear Judge Judy saying..
"So why didn't you take the quads off the trailer? That's laziness!" And "Sir, when you asked him to store the quads for you, didn't you realize that they already had a trailer stolen and a vehicle broken into on their property? That's stupidity!" lol Yeah, I watch courtroom TV too. lol
Yes, but she certainly gets to let off some steam! Go Judge Judy! I would LOVE her job! nm
Have you ever heard Suze Orman/Judge Judy talk

I love the judge shows, watch them a lot
But I think the new judge who has taken over on Divorce Court, Lynn Toler, is doing an excellent job. When the other judge left I did not watch the new judge at first but she makes a lot of good common sense. I feel she is very wise beyond her years and respect her judgements.
child support
Mine owes over $76,000.
child support
I'm in southern Idaho and I was shocked one day to read in the paper that only 10% of people here who are supposed to pay child support are current on their payments. I knew it was a problem, but I didn't realize it was that bad. I generally think my ex is a selfish jerk, but I do give him credit that he has always paid his child support and it's no small amount ($1000 a month). Sometimes I think I'd rather have him out of our lives and give up the support payments, but then I realize that it's best for the kids to have a relationship with him (unless he was abusive, which he's not, just self-absorbed).
She was getting a lot of child support before and --
her exhusband just got out of the military and now refuses to give her any money. He is in another state and is not working anymore and says he does not have to.
Yes. There is a reason. I am a little behind on child support. sm
So, I am scared that it will be used against me. I get my son anything he needs and he is very well taken care of by the both of us. Very well. I fell on some hard times last year and I am now behind.
So, if I take this to court that will be held against me and I may lose him forever.
I did NOT want to go into any detail with my post. I just wanted to say that i was having a very hard day and was sad about the entire situation. That's all. Thanks for your caring.
Child support questions
I hope I'm on the right board here. :D I have 2 kids and have been divorced 4-1/2 years. I have had a child support order in effect since around 3 years ago, which included back pay for the whole 4-1/2 years. This was for (don't laugh) $125 a month. I FINALLY just started getting this support about a month ago. First, it was $25-something a week and the past couple weeks, it has dropped down to $9.65. I believe this is automatically coming out of his paycheck (this is the first job he's had in forever). He tells me he has a very good job in trucking and so, what my question is, if I go back to court to modify that order, to get more, since he now has a job, will I need an attorney, or can I do that on my own? I'm really thinking it won't even be worth the time and money with a lawyer, but I would like to have it modified, since he has an income. To add to that, I am paying $250 for the kids' insurance, and I wasn't when the original order was made. He also tells me he just bought a house (which is likely baloney, anyway), but if he can afford a house, surely he can afford more than $36 a month in child support.
PS: Per the handy-dandy canculator on the state website, figuring both our incomes in (what he claims to be getting, anyway), he should be owing between $1500 and $1800.
Thanks, y'all!
I got it! Tell him 1 more kid will equal a lot more child support after the divorce : )

rant! who's owed the most child support?
mine is currently in arrears in the amount of $23,775 --- he inherited MILLIONS when his father died -- he refuses to work, he's never paid me a dime.... my case worker is attempting to put a lien on his $1/2-million home in Vegas.. Blessed with this child, but sure would like some support, maybe not have to work two jobs...
I'm so glad you're all here for ranting.... thanks, friends.
Of course he should help and he paid child support because they are his kids (nm)

I did not receive any child support, so we agreed to
split all bills evenly as we have joint custody. That is what our papers say, that we split all major expenses, i.e., clothes, school supplies, education fees, etc.
Good point! Maybe he should have to pay child support!

Update traffic court/child support
Well, I managed to make it to family court yesterday and back home while flying low :) My son-in-law walked out 5 months in arrears and next payment due 3/1, already in debt for about 2 grand, plus he has to pay for the DNA test (99.999% - ha, didn't need Maury after all!) My daughter is $1500 in arrears with another payment due 3/1, and her order has been moved over into the category to take any Federal Income Tax refunds she gets in the future to be applied to the order. So now, finally, I should have no further court appearances unless the two want to TPR (terminpate parental rights) and let me adopt. The next step for my daughter is jail if she doesn't pay in March, so she is already making noises she might let me adopt. The dud has wanted to me to adopt her all along to avoid CS.
I went to municipal court and had the arrest warrant removed and was given another 2 months to pay the s-t-u-p-i-d ticket. I asked whether the judge would accept that I corrected the tag problem the next day and was told no. If it was expired at the time the ticket was written, then they do not make exceptions. I checked our local newspaper and the city hired 11 new officers in 2006 for the specific purpose of enforcing vehicle/driving codes in the city. They have increased the number of traffic-related tickets issued to almost 18,000 in 2006, up from less than 8,000 in 2004. Now I just have to remember to pay it, but did buy a new day planner today and have written 3 reminders to myself to pay it on time 
On another note, as I have no health insurance and need certain maintenance medications (almost $1000) a month, I found needymeds.com. I have already received a 3-month supply of one drug and will be receiving another each month shipped to my doctor's office. The manufacturers help people who fall between the cracks by providing free medications.
I feel a lot better about things. 
Child support is a separate issue from visitation. nm

Child support works by you supplying info to them
You need to contact the state - to supply where the other parent works....they don't track 'em down - you have to supply the info and everytime the other parent changes jobs, you have to call CS and supply them with the new info. Believe me, I did this from the time my child was 9 until 18......
You supply the info and you keep on CS behinds..........don't know what state you live in but in the 21st Century here in the USA - they are gunning for deadbeat parents
AND I live in a huge metropolitan area where said CS was gotten from...20 million people in my state......
If father thought child support was not being spent

Posters are correct, child support diff from visitation
Just because a parent is behind on child support does NOT mean you lost your visitation rights, even if you went to court and tried making restitution. What the courts might do is GARNISH your salary (if employed) with some going towards back child support. I am not sure if all states are the same, but I would think they are on this subject, but again, I'm not sure. Florida works this way though, this I can assure you.
I think Judy earns 65 or 95 million
I love Judge Judy (though she is a little loud *LOL*)...
My current cat doesn't watch much TV, but my last one liked to watch hockey. sm
He would sit in front of the TV and swat at the puck now and then. The only time my current 4-year-old cat watches TV is if the TiVo restarts for some reason and that little animated video comes on with the dancing TV and the loud music. He's fascinated by that and will come running to sit and watch it.
I loved Judy Blume's books - Are you there God, it's me Margaret, etc.

Judy is right..... high protein, low carb foods

Should say the child found in Florida proved to be the Caylee child, homicide.

To judge or not to judge
Sometimes I think it is REALLY difficult to go through life without being judgemental.
judge not lest ye be judged I always say.....nm
Here we go again. Judge not, I'm not judging. I am following
that is how I can say what a store should and shouldn't sell!
judge not lest ye be judged..........
the judge....an embarrassment to many
I live in Florida and I am so ashamed of this judge on this case - the circus that HE seems to want with the media for his measley 15 minutes of fame. It is very unfortunate because he makes all people of his culture/religion look REALLY bad. I'm totally ashamed of him........
they tried to get rid of this judge in 2004...
Judge Seidlin Takes Center Stage In Smith Trial
(CBS) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. He's known to be the no-nonsense judge sorting out the claims for Anna Nicole Smith's body, but Judge Larry Seidlin has left many wondering about him and his courtroom antics.
For the past two weeks, the international media has watched the Broward County judge's handling of the dispute over Anna Nicole's body.
"It's a piece of paper that's purported to be a will, that causes me to lose more hair than I have already lost," said Seidlin on Tuesday, as he looked at paperwork provided by Howard K. Stern's legal team.
Comments such as this one have some in the legal community questioning how the judge handled this case. Seidlin has more than 20 years of experience as a judge.
Some of the expressions he used when handling the case left him apologizing, such as when he referred to Anna Nicole's body last week as "my baby." He later apologized for that comment and has since taken a more serious stance when talking about the body.
"We want to give respect and peace to Ms. Smith's body," he said this week.
Nonetheless, this is not the first time that Seidlin's behavior has been questioned. In 2004, a poll of the bar association showed that 20 percent of lawyers didn't think he was qualified for the job, putting him at the bottom of the list of judges in the county.
Seidlin, a native New Yorker, paid for his way through law school by driving a taxi and was appointed in 1989 as a circuit judge. In 1978 he was elected as a county judge, making him one of the youngest judges to be elected, at age 28.

Okay, now what was up with the judge *crying*
I have never in my life seen or heard of a judge breaking down and crying like that. It just got more bizarre by the minute. I seriosly think he has some sort of mental disorder. WOW!
What about going on one of the judge shows?
I heard they pay the plantiff on the spot :)
I like the judge shows too, --sm
'specially Judge Judy. I like it when she starts telling people they are i*d*i*o*t*s, and the like. I really don't know why some of those people would even WANT to go on there and be subjected to her wrath! Talk about an anger personality! wheee.
Maybe you should not judge other people!!!
for 17 years. So, please do not judge me without knowing me.
Need advice/please don't judge me
First of all...I want to say what happened was not intentional and in fact I am quite ashamed. I do not condone extramarital affairs in any way. I have been cheated on and I know what it does to a family.
I met this man via the internet last year while searching for information regarding my brother and his death in the VN war. I ended up getting in contact with a handful of my brother's platoon commrades and went through the grieving process of finding out about their ambush, how many were killed, who was injured, etc.
One of the men in particular I bonded with and I did not set out to do this. It started out as casual chats about my brother and ended up going into everything under the sun. I had no idea he was married. He talked about his ex-wife a few times and their past issues, but no mention of a current wife.
We chat primarily by email and some on the phone. He would have me call him at his office. I did call him at home once, but he was waiting for my call. I started to feel a lot for him, I think like a close brother at first as I was looking to fill the shoes of my deceased brother maybe..I don't know. I did the Google thing on him and of course I found him. He is rather important in his community and profession and has been in the media. I googled his number and found it was under a woman's name. The next time I called him I jokingly asked..."So how's your wife?" and he replied..."What about my wife?" My heart sunk. I would ask about her and he would only respond with "She's a good woman." Within about a week's time he asked me to stop emailing him at home and that I could email his office email or call him there. He said his wife was giving him funny looks about the emails. None of the emails were naughty or anything like that...actually casual, etc. I just felt like our friendship had to be a secret or something.
Getting to the point...we have not met in person, but I am so in love with him. He treats me wonderfully, cares about me, makes me very happy and I have not felt this way about anyone in a very long time. I am a single mom. I was not looking to fall for him but I have. He is 20 years my senior but that does not matter to me. He has said had we met 10 years ago he would have snatched me up. I believe his marriage is rocky, as he stated there had been some tension, but he never goes into detail and I don't push him. We continue to talk every week for lengthy periods of time...yes he is at work and does work, but I cannot reveal his employment. He has spoken of meeting in the future and that is that. He knows how I feel about him and he does not say that he loves me, but I am sure he cares about me to the extent that he can and still be faithful.
The problem is that our friendship will end as soon as he retires in early 2008, as I will have no way of communicating with him anymore. I can email him at home as long as it is VN-related. He has become such an important part of my life that I think about him all of the time and pray that some day he will be single so that he can be with me. I am content with just a friendship because we are long-distance. What I am devastated about is that the "light of my life" will be gone once he has retired. I have told him this and he responds by saying, "you are strong...you will make it." The problem is that I don't think I am strong enough. I really need his friendship. I cannot explain to you without going on and on about what our conversations are like, but we laugh all the time and share common interests and there are some really eerie coincidences. I believe my brother brought him into my life for a reason. Since he has been in my life, it has been the best year ever and I have evolved into a better person.
What do I do to keep our friendship? What do I do to keep contact with him? I truly do not think I will be able to get along without him. He is a strength to me like I have never had. I am so depressed because I do not want to lose him. I know I seem crazy and immoral, but really I am not. I am really confused. I let down my guard with him. I have no regrets other than I wish he were single.
Help me..don't judge me..anyone else go through something like this and if so how did you survive it? I respect your opinions. Thank you.

It's so easy to judge...
people when you think you have all the answers. Isn't it? What happens when one hits rock bottom? I'm too old to stroll out and "just get another job". I feel totally worthless and alone. I am at the point of considering suicide.
At what point did I judge or condemn? Because
is a sin means that I have judged people? No, you have misinterpreted what I have posted. If any Believer comes to God and asks for forgiveness of his or her sins, those sins will be washed away. Read my posts again. I never judged anyone. I know that only God can judge. But, I can choose not to shop at stores that support homosexuality as I believe and follow what the Bible says, which is homosexuality as being sinful.
Laughing? That judge is a moron.
Glad you found his humor to be comical.
The judge may be a goof buttttt
In the end Anna nicole will be buried with her son and be able to be close to her baby girl
Have been approached by 3 of the judge shows before but
you and the other have to consent to both appear. Judge Judy, Joe Brown and Judge Mathis have all contacted me. It is a win-win situation for the people because the shows pay if you win so the defendant (as in my case) if losing would win because if found in my judgement, the judge show would pay. This was a previous case, not this particular 1. Each show has runners that go to the court houses and pull the different cases, that is how they get their clients.
The judge tosses her in jail - sm
Hope the link works. Pretty unbelievable story.
