Then the judge approves it. This could be done via email or in 5 minutes over the phone but instead we have to drive out to the court house and sit around and wait. Massive waste of time and a disservice to clients because it means they spend a couple of hours worth of dollars for nothing.


But the twins turn 1 so we'll get them to bed at 7:30 as usual, let Jack watch a movie and maybe the wife and I can settle into a nice bottle of Red.

I think I try a new Pinot Noir.

I got my first taste of the court systems during my sisters last divorce. Family court is basically hurry up and wait, and the waiting is 99% of it. You stand around all day waiting to testify, then are told at 3PM after having been at the courthouse 8 hours that the judge is calling it a day and they have no more time for witnesses. Bah. If it wasn't my sister, I wouldn't have wasted my time. The courts have turned into a mind-numbing, soul-sucking bureaucracy.
