You know, I came across this forum while trying to look for information on FCC Coleman Low because I know someone who is employed there. I'm glad I ran across this section and hope that I can offer some advice or at least open someone's eyes.
I was abused and still am to this day thanks to the Florida Courts. I was married to a man for seven years, the last time he laid a hand on me, I was four weeks pregnant with our second child. He was arrested for felony assault and never did more than 24 hours. The charges were reduced because I gave birth to a healthy daughter. We were divorced and I moved back home to Georgia where we are both from.
He disappeared out of our lives for two years, didn't ask to see his children or anything. I married my high school sweetheart and our lives have been great as a family together. He remarried the female equivalent of himself. The both of them continue to be arrested for Domestic Violence and there are over 13 police reports for domestic disturbances to their home in the last two years.
Two years ago, I made the new wife mad. I got tired of her calling me all the time asking for advice on how to leave him and hearing her whine all the time about him beating her, the fights and so on. I told her not to call again and so on. 30 days later, I received a notice from the very attorney that her mother used to divorce her father that my ex was suing me for custody of my children.
This case has been going on for two years now. He continues to verbally abuse me, the courts have abused me and my children and it won't stop. I don't have so much as a speeding ticket! I have a lifetime restraining order against him and he somehow slipped through the cracks and has been allowed to keep his cushy Federal job even with this restraining order in place (which says he cannot have/use a firearm for as long as the order is in place) and his numerous arrests for Domestic Violence.
The courts haven't exactly takent his side, his motions have been dismissed, I have been found "not in contempt" but he has continued to take advantage of the legal system and keeping this case tied up. My children and I have been ordered to go to counselors, therapists and one court appointed official even wrote to the judge that based on her assesment, the children should not be exposed to the step-mother at all. His attorney (who is only licensed in Florida) even went so far as to write nasty letters about me to my children's schools here in Georgia. His wife bounced a check to my daughter's school, they constantly call and harrass me and the children and nothing is being done.
Distance yourself from the abuser and go as far as you possibly can. If they try to take custody of your children from another state, do no answer the charges! Force them to come to your state! Make them fight you on your turf!
I'm on a mission today and it's going to cost me the child support, but I don't care, we don't need it. It's all been going into a college fund for the kids anyway. The only reason he's paid it is because it's a court ordered deduction from his fat government paycheck and he's got too many years in with them to quit to avoid paying it.
I've had enough. Beware of abusers! They're everywhere. They just might be that CO that let you in to see your loved one!
