On the late afternoon of April 14th, a letter from the Superior Court of AZ arrived at the house. These were the little blows that would send the emotions into a tailspin. It took conscious effort to disable their momentum rapidly.
The court date that D thought was postponed, was in fact set to occur as planned on April 19th, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. The allotted time..."15 minutes due to the high volume of these matters. If the parties anticipate that the disputed issues cannot be resolved within the time allotted for the hearing (15 minutes), a Request for Additional time can be submitted to the Court in writing. If the Court grants the Request for Additional time, an evidentiary hearing will be set for a future date. Given the volume of cases on the Court's calendar and depending upon length of time requested, the evidentiary hearing date will typically be set two months out from the date of the Court's ruling concerning the request for additional time."
Interpret the above noted paragraph as you choose. For me, it reinforced my sentiments about the culpability of the courts when it relates to family/children. It could be months before a parent would see their child/ren.
The letter went on to explain..."Each party is hereby advised that in the event that he/she fails to appear, the Court will proceed in his/her absence and make a decision based on the testimony and information presented, which may include entering a default judgment and/or issuing a Child Support Arrest Warrant."
We knew that the information presented would be Sharon's and we knew that the probability of it not being fully truthful was very high.
D was in Canada. There were 2 business days to take care of this matter.
On Friday the 15th, D took care of it and was granted a telephonic appearance!!
More flow in the direction of change.
