Does an EX Felon have a chance?

Sounds like they gave you a screwing. I'd fight that. Why should you pay support for somebody who's legally an adult and earning money for himself?

 

Well i can relate, not as bad though. I was in kuwait last year and was sending payments to my brother to hand carry to the courts for me, well he was late and the ex complained. A sheriff notified my mother i had court the following week an she explained he's in Kuwait and unable to be there. The sheriff said ok but you still have to take this summons, she did an a month later she told me about it. In the mean time my c/s is back on schedule and up to date. As soon as i got back and applied for a job that requires a background check ,they said you have a warrant. So i went to the sheriffs office and found out i had a warrant for missing my court date. I thought no problem i was overseas an can prove it, passport in hand i stood before the judge an said i was never summons to appear in court, i was overseas and here is my passport. He never even look at it an said i find you guilty of contempt of court your fine will be a court cost of 150.00 before you can leave. Can you pay, i was in shock, after trying to explain again , the bailiff said answer the question . Yes i can pay and the bailiff escorted me to the window to pay before showing me the way out. To this day no one can explain why i got screwed??? Still looking for answers, and my record is tainted.

 

Of course it also doesn't help in cases like this that the courts are big time patriphobes. 9 times out of 10 the father is the bad guy and the mother is always right.

Innocent until proven guilty my foot.

 

A perfect example of the government doing the wrong thing weither it's loacl government or national government. Government has consistantly been doing the wrong thing rather than the right thing ever since Ronald Scumbag Reagan signed amnesty for millions of Mexicans, to the present where by the government has failed to monitor, regulate, the home loan industry allowing people to buy homes that were unquailfied; causing the housing/credit crisis. Not to mention the all around economic collapse.

If it's any help there are 100's of thousands of males out there riding bikes and pushing grocery carts because of government interferring with husband and wives.

wooly rhino good luck. Oh, I just remembered. There is a company out there that will hire felon's. And there are some that will hire felon's depending on the felony. I will think on it, and research it over the next couple of days. I'll try and get back here. Don't give up just yet. Gigalo does sound alright if you can get the work.

 

I have a theft of property felony charge for computer hacking in 1994. I never stole a dime but they didn't have computer charges on the books back then so they ruled it theft of property. I was sentenced to one year of probation and my probation officer saw me one time, asked me for $240 and said that I never had to come back. Last year, I applied to Old Dominion. The terminal manager wanted me badly but the home office wouldn't let them hire me with a theft charge. He confided in me that he knows of a convicted murderer who drives for them locally. He said and I quote, "they will hire murderers and rapists but they won't touch you if you have a theft charge." I feel your pain brother and I hope you get it straightened out.

 

I have about as much tolerance for judges as I do cops. Draw your own conclusions.
