I’m sure you are all wondering what is happening with PEW’s latest (false) contempt petition filing, because of course you have nothing else to do. As you may recall, LM got a continuance until January 24th for the original hearing that was scheduled for December 26th. I bet you just realized that that is tomorrow!
Of course we heard from PEW, after she realized that um, yet again, she was dead wrong, that she was going to be the “better” person and withdraw the petition. Of course, she never did, later saying she was keeping the court date since she hadn’t seen “any remorse” from LM. As if.
As it turned out, LM had a very important business event scheduled for Jan 24th, and seeing as how he had been unemployed for 9 months when his previous employer moved across the country, we thought it would be prudent for him to try to KEEP his job. Of course, PEW told the court she wasn’t willing to continue the hearing, surprise! So, yesterday LM was greeted with an e-mail from PEW with an attachment she had just faxed to the court:
“Due to some health issues I am having that need my immediate attention, I intend to withdraw my petition for contempt filed 12/12/07.
I know LM requested a continuance last week, which I subsequently requested that the court deny, but that was before I found out that I needed to tend to this health issue.”
Now, first of all, no way we believe something is actually wrong with her health, though we mightily wish some evil disease would befall her. (Hey, this is the woman who referred to LM as scarface after he had cancer removed under his eye two years ago. She’s a peach.) What we do believe is that she is trying to get out of the hearing with what little self respect she has left, and of course she is DYING for LM to ask what is wrong. As if. I mean, if she is sooo right and he is in contempt, why not just approve the continuance LM requested so she can deal with it after whatever health issue she is having (I’m praying for Locked-in syndrome) is treated? The answer, she’s psycho.
So, the rest of the letter went on to say that she was unable to actually get to the courthouse to file the withdrawal, cuz she’s so *cough*cough* sick, and while I’m not an attorney, I’m pretty sure that means it’s not withdrawn and the conference is still on. We’ll see what happens.

Interestingly, day 2 of my important work event takes place tomorrow. I was tied-up all day today and by the time I was done - couldn’t call up to the courthouse to find out if the case has been withdrawn or continued.
Thankfully, she sent me her intent to withdraw, so when I don’t show up tomorrow because I have to see this work thing through - at least I have some measure of a fall-back plan in place if it’s still in place.
I hope…
