More Updates

Not anything really interesting going on in my life, or anything worth blogging about, but I'm bored so I am anyway ;)

Lily's dad's lawyer finally filed the paperwork needed for me to get child support. I guess 5 months is considered fast for her (how professional, right?). Well I called the court house today for what feels like the 100th time in the last couple of months. I was trying to see if they had an atlas number yet, but the clerk told me to call back Monday and they would have it. After I get the atlas number, I am going to figure out where the money is being sent to see if he has actually been making payments or just telling me he has. I'm hoping that I will get an estimate of when to start expecting money.

I am also going to be going to New Mexico for a few months while a good friend goes to basic training and tech school. I will be watching her two kids rent free and her and her husband will pay me for my time. I'm extremely excited. Although New Mexico is not anywhere near the top of my list for places to visit again, it will be a little vacation for me. I will be done with all this court bullshit and be able to celebrate with two old friends. It will be a reunion to say the least!!

I have been working out alot and started a new diet. So far, so good. I'm trying to get fit and toned for the summer!! I'm not big or anything, but I'm definitely out of shape.

I went blonde a few months ago so that I could dye my hair purple. I don't know how people say blondes have more fun, because I was not lol. It's drying and damaging and very high maintenance. I'm trying to grow my hair out, so I decided to go back brunette. So glad I made that decision because my hair is SO much healthier and shiny. I've been taking vitamins and trying DIY hair masks. I'm in love with one I came across on youtube and will be dedicating my next post strictly to that...so stay tuned and have a wonderful day!!

Consultation

Although it's Valentine'a day, today has not necessarily been a happy day for me. I wish I had happier things to blog about, but my life is very stressful at the moment. One day soon, I'll have more "good" to vent :)

I've been on the phone all morning trying to find a good lawyer to represent me. I thought I would be able to do this myself, and I could, but with a lawyer, it would get done alot faster. So I have a free consultation Saturday with the best family law lawyer in Maricopa county. I'm excited and it has already taken a huge weight off of my shoulders.

Since I live in Maricopa county and the divorce was filed in Pima county (Tucson), he said that a lawyer from his offices couldn't represent me unless I got our case switched to here. Especially when neither of us live in Tucson to begin with. I was surprised to know you can even do that, but am not complaining one bit! That would be so much easier than having to drive down to Tucson every time we have court.

Other than that, I've been calling to figure out about child support as well as contacting his lawyer about it. She seems to be extremely lazy and a compulsive liar. She has been telling me for months that she did the paperwork and when I call the courts, they tell me she hasn't.

They are in for a huge surprise when they find out I have a lawyer...
