Child Support Hearing

Oh Wow! Today we left on vacation but not until after I had a Child Support Hearing with Orange County. It was so nice to have a no nonsense judge. He just asked the Orange County Child Support Attorney to give the information. He did and stated that Glen has -0- custodial time and the facts. I just basically sat there and answered what I was asked. At first he was ordered to pay over $600 per month. They lowered it a bit in pity as times are hard and OT is hard to comeby. The final amount was $461 per month. He did nothing but whine that he can't pay that much for one kid. I had thought it would be about an hour and it was 15 minutes. He was ordered to pay back from May so he is close to $2000 in arears and they have yet to add 18% interest. He is really going to bug now for the adoption so he does not have to pay. No okay for change of venue, no adoption. Simple.

Then, yesterday we realized that the washing machine had konked out. I called the complex and they installed a new one by noon. We were off on vacation to Idaho by 3PM. We are worried about the kitties and Smokey as the temperature is close to 100 and pretty bad humidity. We hope they are okay.
