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.

It would be a family court issue if the payments stopped coming in so regularly.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

A family court issue...the judge imputed my income from officiating into my child support payments, even though they are not a regular source of income (and he knows that being a soccer official himself). The ex's lawyer asked me if I had intended on reducing the number of games in the future in hopes of reducing child support obligations. I said no, and my lawyer said now that I said that, if I were to quit working in one city on principle, the judge might either leave the payments as they are, or increase them just on principle. Pretty f**ked up system we have in family court.

So, you do understand the legal ramifications for saying things you shouldn't!

My lawyer said I was screwed either way...if I said I would cut back, it would still have bit me in the a**. Lovely.

How are you knees and back feeling? Didn't your doctor tell you that if you don't cut back on the umpiring, you may end up in a wheelchair in the near future and not be able to earn a substantial living? Boy, that would cut into the support, wouldn't it?
