1st Summary - end of 2010:
I knew from the moment I received that first letter from the State of Texas, regarding this matter, that my life would eventually turn completely upside down. I knew it, because I was about to disobey the law by turning my back on, what I would eventually find out, was legal corruption in it's prime. I knew for a fact that this case brought against me from the State of Texas, while myself living in New York, was not going to work in my favor. Unlike what they might think of me, I wasn't born yesterday. I accepted all ramifications, without knowing what they were, for my actions (or lack there of). With the way they went about it, from the start, I just didn't care. I had absolutely no criminal record/history when this began. I threw that all away to stand up for what I believe in.
WHAT I EXPECTED; was 'Contempt of Court', and I got it.
WHAT I DID NOT KNOW; was that in cases like this, a judgment of 'Contempt of Court' meant that I was the proud father of 16 year old boy I've never known. That, and of-course the maximum amount of arrears they were entitled to (which was the full 4 years). All this; without anyone involved in passing this judgment having the balls to tell me at the time. Just that little white post card, I mentioned earlier, that didn't say shit.
My first thought: "Oops... this boy plum made a wrong turn".!,? (Sometimes, you gotta laugh).
My second thought immediately turned to revenge.
My third thought was "Where do I go from here?".
I went from being denied almost any legal assistance, whether free or paid, to learning as much as I can. I did this by signing up with other sites offering forums for people in similar situations. It was my way of venting and getting information at the same time. I've heard many horror stories during that time. I still do. I've also met some very good people who have helped me immensely and deserve my most sincere gratitude... Father Bless, Fair Rulings, DEE...
I eventually (somewhat recently) came up with this website. It's nothing more then my story... my diary. It is how I've been dealing with this situation. It is my latest way of venting. I'm also still learning, though I admit I have a long way to go and have been slacking. I'm determined to make everything I've done, and continue to do, to hopefully work in my favor when all is said and done. By that last sentence, I want to clarify that it doesn't mean bowing down to corrupt demands by voluntarily shoveling money to them for their cause. Scare tactics have never worked with me and they know it.
ONE LAST THING (for the time being)... I've learned a long time ago that the pity technique, regarding this situation, was not going to fly. I've stated my case to many, but without it being in a court of law, it went straight to the garbage can. I've also learned that standing by your convictions can really suck at times. You're frowned upon and can become alienated if not for your closest family and friends. Let's face it, everyone makes their own beds. I might toss & turn a little more then I have, before this all began, but I still have no problem falling asleep.
"Have a great 2011 everybody. Life is short, so take the bad with the good and live it up."
A MESSAGE FROM OUR STAFF... (ME)..., "Please..., live it up responsibly".
Coming Very Soon.... just some Texas legal mumbo-jumbo to ponder. It will be interesting.
