What Made You Smile/Laugh Today?

THE COURT: I either enter an injunction, which affects Mr. X, which I did, and then your client agrees to be around him, even though she’s suffering from a disability that I would be concerned, but if I’m concerned, I can tell you right now, this Court, if I’m concerned about my safety, I’ll discuss it with my child, what’s going on with the parties, and I ain’t going to be alone with him.

And you, Mr. X, just so that you know, I can’t believe you agreed to it. You know why? Because if I believe her from now on, you’re still mean as hell. And if I believe you, she lies. Why would you want to be anywhere alone with her? I wouldn’t want to be alone with either one of you. And I don’t have the people there, but you know, Mr. X, as a lawyer, if you exchange in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Office, there’s a deputy there on duty all the time. And this woman can say whatever she wants to say, that you did this, you called me a bitch, you called me a piece of shit, you did this, you did the other, there’s a deputy sheriff right there, you got his name, badge number, he doesn’t work for you, he doesn’t work for her, who you can subpoena any time you want, right? If she says this is what he did to me, I’m in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Office.

And I can tell you, it sounds crazy, but I been here fifteen (15) years, and I’ve seen it happen. Somebody come in and says, Judge, she refuses to bring the child. And all of a sudden, the Respondent’s in there with four (4) deputies for four (4) visitation days that she never showed. And she’s saying he’s a liar, he never showed up. Well, I got four (4) deputies, hello. I’m going to deny the injunction at this time. Thank you, folks.​
