While waiting for Gary Lee Bullock to be brought down in Courtroom six the other day and the case to be called, I sat and watched the family law court drama. I'd rather cover criminal court cases any day.
Family law attorneys upstaging each other would make even a Broadway diva seem mellow.
An effective argument for birth control and single celibate life is attending one morning in family court.
Judge Christopher Wilson is one of my favorite judges. I have known him since I worked for CWS and assisted social workers with some court work. Very fair, very knowledgeable and excellent family law Judge.
One baby mama from Garberville kept arguing with the Judge. These cases are confidential so I won't mention names or more details. Apparently, she took offense when the Judge and her ex's attorney pointed out that she had missed 9 out of 14 court agreed visits with her child and was not taking her commitment to her child seriously. The woman usually prevails in most family cases but in this case, the man was the more responsible parent.
When Judge Wilson pointed out that her "socializing was more important than her child," she argued with him and was belligerent. She didn't think the fact that her five year old child swallowing medication and being left unattended was a big deal.
She didn't think people coming in and out of her house all the time when her child was visiting her for the two days she is allowed was high-traffic. Her "friends" were just "visiting." It was really inconvenient for her to travel to deal with all of this family stuff.
California law bends over backwards for family reunification. She knows it, she knows how to work the system. She couldn't cope that her man had found a new woman, so making her child pay with baby mama drama is her solution.
