And it's not a matter of him living in an f'ed up place. Anywhere you have lawyers, family court's a b1tch.
I find it hard to believe this would be a family court issue (assuming this isn't one's sole source of income). What are they going to do if you are not scheduled, put you in jail? Small town politics sucks which is why you will never see me living in a place like that. Too many damn communists to make it worth it.
