When school opens next month, children affected when their primary parent was abruptly changed by family court will experience uncertainties that were not present in earlier school years. In a recent case the court removed a father from his home where he cared for his children ages 16 and 10. The court gave the mother who had abandoned the house years earlier primary custody for the children and demanded the father left the house, pay child support and could visit the children with a schedule more complicated than that of preparing a space craft for flight.
The mother on the other hand has not seen or communicated with the 10 year old for days. The child is with the father building her very impressive hamster village and baking pastries. The 16 year old is now virtually alone since the mother works all day till evening and off course has her apartment to spend time and remember she abandoned the house years ago, has lease and utilites to pay for her apartment and the burden given by the court to pay for a house, house maintenance, utilites and other house owner related expenses.
How could a family court get it so wrong. The family court judge promised a speedy hearing more than a month ago. She expressed concern for the children and promised a resolution in days. On 30th June she flirted with a band aid to address the problem until the final hearing in August. There has been no change to this day. Today the children are confused and have to suffer greatly, the court goes along merrily with its business. Care not what doesn't affect me. Mother's attorney has earned his pound of flesh, the Attorney General Office has made its numbers more attractive and the father continues his efforts at keeping his children sane while to seek to keep a roof over his own head.
This cannot be a picture taken in America. Can court 246 Houston ever make right a wrong that is so obvious.
