Well,
OK, a "Master" really.

Most of ya'll know that I have RSD, and TBI, discs and depression.


(This is the beginning, or, could be the end of my divorce hearing).
I bought my house in 79. Put about 75 Thous. into it, additional room, and full bathroom, with whirlpool, central air, especially designed for "low flow" no outlets can blow on my bed or chairs, etc. and it's designed to dehumidify, rather than "blow cold". Of course the whirlpool is for my rsd.
The house has hydronic baseboard heat, computer regulated by the outdoor temperature. (This is my business, I am a master plumber / heating specifier).
My company did all the installations.
It's a Four Bedroom, Cape Cod, with two full bathrooms.

I bought out my first wife from the property!, NO WAY was I going to let the second, who was broke when I married her, in, with out a pre nup, nor, put her name on my property!

My attorney did not show up, and my wife, this lovely woman that I married, became a "court stenographer", and I'd think that she's in bed with the "master", if I didn't know better...... BUT, I'm certain...


This master tore me from one end to the other.

OK, true, my attorney is a putz, and did not show. (I hope he's insured) NEVER HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO'S NOT INSURED!! (Get a certificate of insurance, from his ins. company, that is the ONLY way to do it) Settle for nothing less!!!
LET THIS BE YOUR LESSON!


I showed up @ the hearing, just so that I wasn't a "no show". So I could say "I object" to this hearing, I have no counsel"!
My lawyer hadn't returned my call for so long..

The Master has written now, that "I admitted that I take Methadone".
I did not admit that.
I stated that. (answering a question).
How's that an "Admission", it's a mere fact!

He wrote that I have RSD, no mention of the TBI,
he wrote,
that I have
"only A tenuous connection with reality".

Lot's of you here know me.

He went on, to mention that I could probably make a good living (OH LORD< I pray), if not for my (Not quoting) but something like, my self indulged drug induced lift style.
He went on, to berate me, for not having a copy of my pre nup, (which wifey took),
and, made No Mention of my testimony, other than what I said above, I have a "tenuous connection with reality"....


WHAT?
Obviously, this is how dirty the courts in Philadelphia can get.

Since wifey emptied my bank accounts, and had her hands in my business till's, and I've been payin her over 1 grand/mos. in spousal support, from my disability, (while she's working, getting her medical paid, while I pay $850/mos. for my own Medical Blue Cross, and she also has started a court stenography business on her own (Using my Office! and supplies, and computers, etc.)
WTHeck, am I to do?

She forced me to close my two business's, stole my supplies, and is using them! AGH!

This guy is NUTZ!

He doesn't even mention a thing about RSD. He didn't mention the TBI!


So,
He's gonna give her MY house, which her name is not on, and doesn't even mention that it's full of my furniture, (and some very beautiful heirloom furniture that was my parents),
and that's it!

AGH!

I just thought, that you might be interested, but, not spread it around, how a judge can "interpret" our drug use..........

BxSTxRD!

I love you all here,

Pete

Asb....????

well may i say that this is just plain crap on a stick to say it nicely so i think that master or who ever is a joke and i would appeal if you can. i havent done divorce thing so i have no idea. but there has to be some kind of loop hole i would assume

im thinkin about ya and know how this must make you feel. and dont you just love that you could make a great living LOL
hang in there buddy

carrie
living in my own reality LOL

Sue your attorney and appeal the ruling! Hell, sue everybody....

I am so sorry. Appeal if you can with the help of a new lawyer and then sue the other. Unbelievable.

Isn't there a copy of the pre nup somewhere? the atty that helped write it up?
doctors reports of you dx & why you take meds?

That atty is a jerk for not showing!
Whpo k knows maybe she bribed him to not show?? or offered a kickback if she wins.

something isn't right here and they are taking advantage of it!
get a real good lawyer and find out what can be done to fix this.

First I know this does by no means help, but I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that and it seems by yourself. Even if you weren't there by yourself the house gets pretty quite once everyone has gone. here is a hug and I don't know you......... but i don't like to see anyone get railroaded either.

I'll through some ideas out to try and help in pieces.
-As to the pre nup that was taken was it registered with the court house? Or does anyone have a copy of it ie lawyer,friend,computer. Who put it together for you does that person have a copy or who witnessed the signatures? If nothing else a notary should have noted it on the date and time it was signed.

-GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ATTY. ASAP. - DO NOT CALL GO TO OFFICE. Sit and wait to get a minute and explain what happened at the masters hearing as you do have a time frame you are working with to appeal this to take it the judge for a reconsiteration. With that you mention all the things you did here as to what happened. Sit down and write it out as to try not to forget anything as i don't know if the stenographer will have finished your case by the time you need to get your paperwork in.

- as to your bank accounts that gets a little more touchy maybe. Is her name on them? If not get the previous months statements and how the money was taken out. If it was done by checks without her name on them you really have her criminally and through your divorce proceedings. If not you still have her in a way maybe did she work for you? did she have legal access to the money? if not the banks or atms will be able to pull up pictures of who pulled out the money but when did you start the busnisess during the marriage? if so the most she maybe able to obtain is half unless she gave you money it which she will have to show proof for.

- you have a lot of work to do as fast as possible so this does not go through and believe me she will be shocked you stoped it.

- On the off chance your lawyer can't or won't do anything there are attys. that will help on income based fees. it's not legal aid but i can't remember the correct name for it at the moment but it should be in the phone book.

I hope something helped.........

Best of luck. I hope it works out for you somehow.

i feel you pain,,,thats the more the reason to lay it at the foot of the cross,,,these problems are to big for us brother,,and there has to be a record of that prenup somewhere in the system...your in my prtaers my friend,,,,i left you a book in a private pm ,,,youll be able to feel me and see how i roll,,, straight shooting ,, God will deliovere you from this mess,,,,he always does,,,pray to him,hard and deep,,,james chaapter 5 says if anyone is ill or in trouble he should pray,,plus n,,about you losing that house,,,i dont hear no fat lady singing,,,,judge acta to have a attitude,,,get a good lawyer,,and holler at the bigman upstairs,,,,,he likes avenging his people,,, keep posted and check your pm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber

Hi Pete,
I can't put in words how disgusted I feel about this. I do know we can't count on justice. But I agree with all the suggestions made to you, especially by cuffs, you can tell he definetly has some legal experience. Get that appeal in yesterday. Were you married to 'her' when she was going to school to be a stenographer? Who paid for her schooling? Maybe you should be asking for alimony or repayment of her education. Believe me when I say they make very good money.
I can't imagine what this is doing to your pain level. Please know I'm thinking of you. Can't imagine a judge giving a ruling without you having representation. Keep in touch, we really do care about you. Your friend,loretta

I know this won't help, but you have my sympathy.

As I sometimes say at work "They wonder why normal people sometimes go absolutely bat-**** crazy." You know all of those times that people on the news claim "he was a wonderful neighbor-never thought he'd do x,y,z." Um, yeah, it's crap like this.
