For now I
will be the best Mom I can be! Though
doing so at this time is rather strained since I have this lawsuit against me
that I must DEFEND, (If I do not answer to it then I could lose by default. Of
all the things I have learned from my divorce drama one of the most valuable
things that I discovered was that I can lose and feel fine with it but only if
I do so by actively participating and not by losing by a forfeit
(default). If I chose not to defend
myself the complainant is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars which is
what he likely would be awarded by default. It’s an interesting matter what’s
going as one can sue anyone for anything but the question remains will they
prevail, can they prove it? And can they recover damages? – In my case I do not
have any money to defend it nor does the complainant have a good chance of a
full recovery (or any recovery) whether that’s by a trial determination or a
judges default award. I am seriously
lacking the funds to adequately manage this. This lawsuit against me is not a civil matter that
I can self represent, and therefore I have sought legal representation.
Retaining legal representation seriously compromises my ability to pay rent,
feed my kids etc. The complainant is
well aware of my financial situation since he was privy to my income and
expenses. He should know I cant afford to fight it, nor could I afford to lose
it.
You are probably wandering what did I do to be
sued?--- I am being sued by an attorney
in Sonoma County for Libel and Intentional Infliction of Distress, the case #
is SCV 252874 and all (these) matters are open to the public and not of a
confidential nature.
On the last date of a court hearing scheduled for my
family law matter in Sonoma
County on December 26,
2012 I was served a summons and complaint, (minus the ADR- alternative dispute
resolution fact sheet) by my opposing counsel. Simply said, my ex husbands
attorney of record (at the time) is suing me for actions that rose from our
family law litigation from 2009 to 2012.
During this time period I learned a lot about family law,
child support enforcement, criminal law, contempt motions- and discovered the
meaning behind protracted litigation. At
this time as I am facing allegations of defamation and inflicting emotional
distress intentionally, I am learning even more about our judicial process and
our civil rights. I wholeheartedly deny these allegations, and I intend to
provide truth, as my absolute defense (for defamation). I believe the complaint against me is one of those
lawsuits where the complainant (my
former opposing council of record) has goals that he will feel he has
accomplished if ‘the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting
legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism’, (CASP).
If you or anyone you know may want to help this poor (single) So.Ca Mom out
(me) it would be put to a good
cause---and so unbelievably gratefully appreciated! (or if anyone can provide a
loan--my word is good! (yes total pun :)
There’s a great
line in Philadelphia that goes something like this, ‘Pride
has lost more cases than lousy evidence, idiot witness’s and hanging judges all
put together. There is absolutely no place in a courtroom for pride’.
I gratefully and I humbly ask
for contributions of any amount towards defending this complaint against me and
to repeat a partial great line from Philadelphia, I can provide for you this
opportunity--- “because every now and again you get to be a
part of Justice being done! “................
