Law and Order: Family Law

What do you think? A new show by Dick Wolfe? Probably not, but a catchy little title anyway.
Last week was a pretty long and grueling week in the trenches of the war against morality and accountability.

It started off with a motion to dismiss a Petition for Order of Domestic Protection - also know as a retraining order. It never got heard - I win. The facts that mattered to the judge were simple - baby momma filed in MS for a Restraining Order saying she was afraid of baby daddy and was immediate danger. Baby Daddy is in TX and has never left the state of TX. See a problem? Yep - how can you be in fear of immediate danger from someone over 500 miles away? Case dismissed.

Next up was the deadbeat dad who failed to pay $37,000 in child support. His defense? Well he didn't have one. Judge wanted o put is ass in the can til he coughed up some money, but my client begged him not to. On the 19Th bub goes to the can unless he has made a large payment. I have $100 bucks saying he is in the joint for 12 hours tops. The Bailiff thinks more like 72 hours. we will see.

Then came the rather unusual matter of the VHS tapes and digital videos. I always like these for the squirm value. Seems the two love birds made quite a few little tapes of themselves doing all kind of things to each other and a third person. Well now the love is gone and dingle berry started emailing clips to her friends and putting them up online. So off we rush to court to protect her reputation. BTW I didn't know the ping pong ball thing was true. Of course we have to watch some of the videos so everyone has a idea of what we are talking about. This is never fun - to sit next to the star as she watches herself do things when you know she would rather not have anyone ever see the tape. besides it is never the hot trim cuties who make these videos. Won on that issue as well.

Lastly came Light Fingers McGee. She stole a $19 bottle of perfume from Gordmans. (You know that had to be some good smelling stuff.) Anyway, it cost her 48 hours in lockup and a fine of $300.00. The original offer was 30 days, then 6 months house arrest and $1000.00.
A good weeks work.
