It really depends on if that person could afford a good lawyer or an exit plan to somewhere without an extradition treaty.

Outrage started bubbling up last year when residents of an affluent subdivision named Annelise Park in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed their water pressure was unusually low.

When the county utility investigated, officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

All told, the developer, Quality Technology Services, owed nearly $150,000 for using more than 29 million gallons of unaccounted-for water. That is equivalent to 44 Olympic-size swimming pools and far exceeds the peak limit agreed to during the data center planning process.

Poor Sandy. I’m glad she has someone who really actually cares for her to love and look after her. 🥹

Aww she’s empty nesting!

Most tools can harm or help. I hope after the collapse of this fake ivory tower built on a sloppily built and crumbling foundation, we can lay a solid foundation and build something designed to be a solid shelter where we can heal the wounds we’ve inflicted on ourselves and other nations.

Yay! Sandy wants to play with the baby?

Probably. But it seems it exploded after that stupid show.

I quite properly literally just wish we didn’t have a population that followed illiterate Kardashian misuse of the word.

The wealthy ones will hunker down in their bunkers. The others will be part of us.

What?

Back to the Texas part, and why you’re “mostly” correct. Because it’s Texas: where the wife is always wrong and the laws only protect those for whom it is enforced. Also, who are the police gonna trust? The overreacting parent who keeps calling them, or the one who always says they weren’t doing anything?

“Oops, send out another Amber alert. The parent really should have said something if they knew this was gonna happen. Also, we would have been more likely to believe them if they didn’t keep telling us all the time that this was going to happen.”

I’m in the Deep South, so yes, in cases of narcissistic abuse, crazymaking behavior is real, and the courts are just shit about it, even women judges and women on the juries (there’s also the whole Bible Belt submissive women bullshit). Adding that 70+% of cops are (probably under) self-Reporter domestic/child abusers and it gets ugly as all Dante’s circles of Hell. Which is why visitation being separate from child support is used here, for the most part.

Edit for terrible manners: thanks so much for a thoughtful, in-depth reply.

Laugh as you walk away.

We have a chance to lay foundations for the world we want.

I meet single parents who are legitimately glad that the other party doesn’t pay child support, because it equals freedom from oppression or abuse for the parent and child.

I’m wondering where you are, since afaik, support and visitation/custody are generally separated.

Poor people generally don’t have passports.

That’s…not really teaching them parenting. But maybe she will? Do you know them? Do they have decent values (other than teen pregnancy)? I would encourage getting to know them and being involved in your child’s and grandchild’s lives, and avoiding alienation. That means some give and take, from everyone. I wish you and everyone all the best.

Try not to presume the worst, OP. I hope the in-laws provide parenting and meditation classes. Maybe a nanny?
