Her ex husband left her for a 19 year old and kicked her out of the house, then claimed that she just left of her own accord and he gets to keep the kids.
There's been one court case that lasted 10 minutes and she has to wait for 3 more months for the next one.
She gets to see them 3 weekends out of the month.
So far it's cost her $28 000 in legal fees.
She estimates it to be at least $60 000 by the time it's over and even then she may be no better off.
My mum's going to sell her house to help out.
Lawyers are the scum of the earth, fucking parasites.
And in other news, my daughter fractured her wrist falling off the monkey bars today. :-(
Regarding your sister's ex: The bastard. I hope she gets her proper due from it and he gets fucked over.
Regarding your daughter, hope she gets well soon, and loads of signatures on her cast. It could have been worse, my brother broke his radius and ulna tripping on an obstacle no higher than four inches years ago. That night visiting him in hospital and he pumped full of morphine was surreal.

I just finished watching Forever Young (1992). I had never seen it before, but IMO, it was a good movie with a beautiful, lovely ending.

Just finished watching the first episode of Broadchurch. It's overly dramatic but it moves along alright.
Getting ready to tuck into bed.

I am watching Santa Clarita Diet.
It's not great. I've been told by a person I trust that it was good.
I might have to sic Dr. Beccs on them in a secret Kiwi revenge plot.

I need to know location, budget, and pain level you want inflicted.
Also, timeframes and any serious allergies or medical conditions they may have.

Reading an article about a lake in Melbourne that has gone pink due to algae.
Reading up on the power failure at the statue of Liberty.

I know this might sound unbelievable but I'm watching SpongeBob Squarepants basically for the first time tonight. I've seen maybe one or two episodes years ago but don't really remember them much so I'm counting tonight as my first time.

I'm watching the Star Trek TNG episode "the lower decks." IMO, this is a pretty good one. In addition, it reminds me of the poker nights that I had with my buddies.
