Isn’t it ironic that I love the legal field enough to make a career out of it yet I absolutely detest it too? I like the law firm/attorney side of it, I like the ambiguity and the interpretation of the law, the legal analysis. But the Court system….it sucks! There’s no such thing as equal justice. Its all about the money. And the only way to protect your rights is to pay someone to make sure they’re protected. And even then your rights are subject to being trampled on.

I’ve got two different court cases that are destroying my life right now. One of them has been dragged out for 2 years now and has no end in sight. That one cost me 75% of my income. First, I lost a very well-paying job because of a hearing that dragged on for 18 hours spread out over 6 days. Then the Sperm Donor’s attorney snuck some order in without my knowledge that put a stop to the child support I’m entitled to so now I’m having to fight to get that order dismissed. Now because of my income, my other case is screwed up and Bubba’s dad keeps getting away with screwing me over and I can’t get any help. Yes, I’ve tried legal aid. Yes, I’ve tried law school clinics. But because the ex has an attorney and I don’t, I’m getting nowhere. Yet all I’ve asked for is for the Court to enforce and abide by the law. Apparently its not that simple. Because I stood there and tried to represent myself, I wasn’t taken seriously. I was interrupted and told by the Judge that he didn’t have time for it. I tried getting transcripts to prove my case but guess what. You have to pay for them. I don’t have the money to get a copy of what was said in court. I don’t have the money to have an attorney prove to the court that my ex and his attorney violated the law.

So I’m just screwed. And so are my kids. How am I supposed to have faith in a legal system that has done nothing but make things worse for me no matter how hard I fight to make things better for myself and my family? How am I supposed to believe in a system that has failed me and my children time after time?

It ain’t easy. Its enough to make you wanna pack up, change your name and move to another country just to protect yourself from it. Or worse…

I’m not much of a praying person but I sure do need some strength and I just don’t have much left.
