Dear Friends,
Well the door is closed with my ex AF. I took her to court
because there were some things I did not get out of the place when I was there
earlier last year. So I had to wait until some things were in place. Thankfully
the whole process of small claims court is simplistic. So this is the blog that
explains that process and the outcome in the process. This might be a short
blog but this is the finally blog in the AF drama.
I started this journey last summer. I did not want to do
this at first but I needed to clear some debts. This journey took me into last
fall. I decided to file just after the baseball season finally ended. I was
supposed to go to court in December of last year. This was not to be because my
ex did not get the notice. So I had to do it a different way. I had to use
sheriffs to deliver the notice to my ex. She got the hint.
One thing that needs to be noted is the fact that while I
filed the small claims court case, I was approached by the producers of Judge
Judy. I was shocked to get a letter from them wanting me to take my ex to the
show and do the case on there rather than to do it at the county court. I was
all for it but was convinced that it would be better to do it locally and no
drama on TV. So I wait to do it locally but that’s when the paperwork could not
get to my ex. So I refilled, and again I was approached by Judge Judy show. I
didn’t do it again because of the same reasons and other mitigating
circumstances.
So we get to this date: January 26th, 2012 . Court starts at 9am . I get there at 8:45am . My ex and her posse were there since 8am . I wait outside until it was close to 9am . I go into the courthouse. I go up a floor
and look down and see her sister and friend look for me. I find a way to go to
the small claims court room without being seen. I check in at the widow. Her
sister sees me and tells her I am here. They call our names. I sprint into the
room to where this case would be heard. As I sat there, I see a woman that I
use to be in love with. I compose myself to be able to present my case. A part
of me wishes things did not end the way they did but my mind and heart was
happier without her. The court begins and we present our sides. As I hear her
presentation, she does not call me Mr. Chandler. She is still personal to me.
Gene and I were used a lot. I called her Ms. F. I never made her feel
comfortable. The magistrate listened to both sides. I got a small victory. Some
of my things were returned. I might appeal because of some issues but I got a
small victory.
I left there happy but empty. Empty because this is the end
of this relationship. AF is a footnote in my life. Her family was a footnote
and fodder for stories to come. All this mess started with a blog. Even though
I was referring to her or her family, I will end this saga with mentioning her
name as AF and the family F. So I will celebrate this small victory. Speak to
you soon.
