Well the time came and Orlando went to court with his appointed attorney. He brought letters with him from the local job agency supporting his claim to fame of "I am trying to find a job". I feel like the judge is walking around with the old cartoon Sucker stick for a head because she has just been bamboozelled by a habitual liar who now has the luck of having a participant in his crimes of neglegence and her name is wife or whatever idiot is writing him those letters. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she concocted these letters for him.
I did hear that both Angie and Tre went to court with Orlando. Something the court frowns upon wholeheartedly but it did get the poor pitiful me effect across that he was looking for. The child in question that had no one to care for him is 15 and his mother was sitting directly beside him so he had no business in court but apparently it helped in getting his "Get out of child support free" card so it must have gotten the effect he wanted which is to not pay any of his real children's mothers.
Orlando, you never cease to disgust me. Why don't you just give up your rights to Tony so Terrell, the real man in this situation can take up where you never were. Its just that simple. For the world to hear, you want to know why this man won't give up his rights to my son, well its because they won't erase his back child support. They won't take away the debt he owes his son so he won't give the boy up so that someone who does the real job can take credit for it. I so wish you would give up so you can devote all your time to children who aren't related to you.
Thanks Terrell, you are a great man for continuing your relationship with Tony, maybe one day Orlando will think of himself second for a change and give Tony up so he can carry your last name.

Monopoly - Child Support Edition
In ongoing comments this morning with one of Orlando's childrens' mother, I coined the phrase "Get out of Child Support Free Card" and that is what I feel like when it comes to Orlando and the child support game he plays. In less than a week we will see if that saga continues. Make no mistake good people, I am not the only one suffering behind this. Orlando has a set of twins with another mother, and 2 more children with 2 other mothers as well. Thats 5 all together and I have heard of one more but DNA hasn't proved that one yet. I tell my son when it comes to girls, "Honey, if they favor you in any way, I would suggest that you don't talk to them because you really don't know for sure if you aren't related". Its sad but its true.

WTF is $30
Probably on the advice of his appointed attorney, Orlando musters up $30 to pay on his child support. Mind all of you his last payment was 9/22/2008 for $71. I ask myself and all of the rest of the world, what the F*%$ is $30 going to do for Tony? Well he is on Spring Break this week, maybe it will get him into a movie or 2 because I certainly can't do anything with it. I am going to be terribly upset is this pitiful amount of money keeps him out of jail this week.
You know how thos folks have the stickers with the jagged haired boy peeing on a Ford or Chevy or their rival footbal teams emblem, well I want one that the boy peeing on his non custodial parent for lack of everything, money, skill and the biggest on love. I'm Stephanie Reese, and thats the rest of the story, Good Day.

Orlando Goes To Court
So Orlando goes back to court on February 26th, 2009. Over the last few months and within the last few days, I have faxed various things to the child support office to dispute his bleeding heart case of "I can't find a job" & "I don't have a car". The man has never owned a car and thats in 17 years so why should that effect the support I get now. I googled over 50 places within a 1.5 mile radius of his house so they are within decent walking distance. Half of those jobs require no experience so he should have no excuses for not applying for them.
Back to the court date...... I couldn't attend this one but I figured with all the information I have sent to their office they were painfully aware that I want this man to pay or go to jail.. So they gave him the option for an attorney which is of course his rights but also the biggest waste of tax dollars today. If he had a decent reason for paying then he wouldn't need an attorney, but rights are rights aaight. So Laura calls and gives me a funny for the day. It turns out they appointed her to his case. She of course had to turn it down because shes my sister and all but I don't know who he has acquired. Put his ass in jail. He shoulda been there anyway.
Again, we play the wait to get paid game............

Still No Money
Well Good People, its now the 6th of February. Im sure if Orlando were to be able to file taxes or his new wife were to file taxes they should have received money by now but to no avail have I received any money. In 6 months this man has only been able to come up with $198.00 and that was over the span of August - September and none since. Pretty pathetic. I called the Child Support office and of course they were no help at all. They have a court date set up but it hasn't rolled out in the mail yet. I am totally over this mess.

Tony's Christmas Present
I guess I should be grateful that the man thought of my son at all. The first time he has brought Tony a physical present in close to a decade. He showed up unannounced at our home, I wasn't there. Tony was home with a friend and they were watchin movies and watnot. Tony made him stand outside because he new there would be hell to pay if he had let him in. Orlando gave him 3 presents. Turned out to be socks, wifebeaters, a sketch pad and a pack of colored pencils. The only thing that even suggested he knew Tony was the sketch pad and pencils but Orlando's new son-in-law is in Tony's Art class so Tony didn't give him any credit for knowledge.
To no avail, I haven't seen a dime, Im sure he is still crying unemployed. Who gets married without a job? Certainly not I.

Jan 2nd & Still No Money
I just wanted to air dirty laundry. When I re-read these, I was extremely nice for me regarding him and when I re-read his response it only ills me worse.

Orlando,
Tony now officially gets nothing from the state down to the fact that he no longer qualifies for free-lunch. So that means I am paying for Insurance, school lunches, school clothes, Christmas, 15th Birthday Party and putting some money back to get the boy a car among every day living expenses. Im asking directly that you start helping him get thru life Orlando. I have never ever asked you for anything. There is only one income paying the bills at my house and it is me and its tight right now. I didn't care nearly as much when someone else was footing the responsibilities that you should be handling but since July, I have been handling them on my own and I AM TIRED.
I realize that you are unemployed, but I know that if you needed or wanted a job today, I could get you on at Sagebrush and have connections at other places. What I don't want to see is you making money under the table working on motorcycles and then me having to go to court only to find out that you claim unemployment. Im 100% positive that you smoke both cigs and greens when you want to, you drink your 40's or whatever is your drink of choice when you want to and you do and go wherever you want, you buy yourself namebrand clothes and when you see your kids you wonder for one second why they feel the way they do, well they see you got more than they got and you don't give a flip what they do or don't have. What they see is that you put you 1st and they know just like you know that behavior is WRONG.
You can afford weapons, you can afford to go to Honda Hoot, you can afford to ride around on a motorcycle, you can afford to be unemployed at Christmas time and be taken care of, you can afford all of these things and do it with no conscious of what your kids have or don't have. It means nothing to you. You need to work anywhere during this holiday season and help out your blood Orlando, we need the help during this month most of all and I know that you feel like cooking is beneath you now, but it is what it is and I NEED HELP.
I hope you don't take this request lightly. Im serious when I say I am tired and you may have gotten out of trouble because you are proving being at that Career Center, but it isn't helping me feed, cloth or provide for your son, so my understanding is completely gone and I will be a permanent fixture at that Child Support office being one of those women that they can't stand to hear her voice because Im calling down there wondering why something isn't being done. I should mention that I plan to have Laura come to court with me in February so that Im sure Im heard, she is now a Juvenile Attorney located to the right of the courthouse. Im serious when I say Im tired of playing this money game with you. I need help and if you aren't going to be father enough just to give me the minimum then I am going to have to step up the game plan.

I get that your upset (I doubt that)but what you dont know and probably dont care to know is that I can't work or get unemployment because the Social Security office has me listed as dead since 2004(So I wonder why his children haven't been receiving payment for his legally dead self for 4 years) and the unemployment office says there are 2 social security numbers listed for me. I have been trying to get this fixed since September and they still haven't gotten it fixed--so i have no money coming in. I have been out everyday walking (I live a mile from this man and I have never seen him walking)and putting in applications everywhere and no one has offered me a job. I don't have transportation--the bike is wrecked and undriveable(It looked just fine the month you went to Honda Hoot), so it's not as easy as you make it out to be(Its not that its easy, its that you aren't taking the jobs you don't want at a time when nobody is hiring) that i can go and get a job anywhere, because i have been trying since I got laid off in Sept.
Yes, I know I have responsbilities to all of my kids and no matter what you or anyone else thinks I am trying. No, I dont go out and do whatever I want--I gave that up a long time ago. I go to school 2 nights a week and the rest of the time i am at home. (Im so tired of hearing about you going to school, you been in school now for 10 years) Your not the only one who is struggling this time of the year (No,but Im struggling worse because of you), I'm not going to ask Angie to pay my child support and take away from Tre, bills and food here. It's not her job, its mine and Im not taking this lightly. (I never wanted Angies money, its bad enough she is footing you as a bill as well)
All I can do is what i have been, applying for jobs that are within walking distance of our house and trying to get this mess cleared up so i can work and work legally.
I do have some gifts for Tony if he wants them. He and Tre talk during one of their classes and i was going to have Tre ask him if he wanted them, you can do that and let me know. It's not a lot but its something. (Its Jan 2nd, do you think Tony has gotten a gift, a birthday present, hell even a phone call, NOPE)

I don't want Angie to pay your support, I would never pay another child's support so I feel you and her there. I have never been one to really harp on you about the money, just sit back and think ill will of you is all, but it has come a time where I can no longer function and do all of this by myself. And yes, I do get angry when my son asks for stuff and I can't give it to him. He doesn't ask for much that is out of my reach until this time of the year because of his birthday and this year is more of a struggle for me so yes I am mad about it. He works Orlando, he works all them home games for UT and he does this for extras. He is really angry with you. I don't think you would get the reaction you wanted from him unless you approached him face to face and even then it would take several times of that. Sometimes, no most of the time, I don't think you realize what a gem you have in Tony Hall. He will go to college, he will make something out of himself, he is responsible and he is the child that was named after you, your first born and now that 15 years has passed us by, what does that really mean to you. I just don't know. He excels in school all A's & B's, he takes CAD and is exceptional in his fine arts class, thats the funny thing, if you guys could ever find common ground I think you would do well in a relationship, but both of you would have to get past your issues first, his issues being anger, yours being you don't like it when people are angry at you or having to feel guilty.
I'm not trying to argue with you or contradict you on they why's of which you can't work. What I will say is this. Every time I have seen you, you have been driving Angies car. I shared a vehicle with my ex for over 2 years and that meant one of us worked days and the other worked nights and when that didn't happen, he was riding with co-workers. I do understand all the other stuff too. Been there done that so I know that it takes extra efforts but it can be done. Im angry with reason and I don't feel like you will ever understand that.
I heard about the being dead and social security mix up stuff. I am in the midst of working with Nashville on my own namesake issues as well so I do know of how that can be time consuming. What I don't know is how it can prevent you from holding a job.
Hell if you are clean, I can get you hooked up with any of the local union halls for a job, I have been doing this here for over 3 years and I know a collection of people that matter here. There won't be any jobs here until February because they don't hire during the holidays and the locals aren't putting recs out until February but its manual labor. If you are up for it, just let me know. Laborers top out at 16, Operators @ 22, Electricians @ 25 and so on. You can be an apprentice for any or all of these but its 6:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. M-F and usually when the money is good around here there is 10 hours of overtime.
When I think of school, I get angry too Orlando, don't think I didn't want to go back to school. I could be all kinds of things in this world with an education but I have had to work my butt off an fight hard to get what I get now. I didn't have the opportunities of being childless. If I had half the opportunities you have had, I wouldn't be sweating so badly so when you mention the school thing, yes I do hope it works out for you but know I harbor some green envy that its you going and not me.
You know most of the time, I think that missing out on Tony's life is totally a loss for you. One you regret more so now than ever. Tony spends a lot of time acting all hard when really he is a big softie. He has had some rough years and we are now in a good relationship where things aren't so off kilter. He hates when I cry because I don't have lunch money for the day, he hates asking me for movie money on a Friday night because he has spent his own, he hates it when I cry because he wants that new pair of shoes that I simply can't afford and thats when he thinks of you and what do you think comes next. In his mind, you take care of Tre and you left him behind to fend for himself. Thats what he thinks Orlando and put yourself in his shoes, why shouldn't he think that. I googled you address to mine, you live .7 miles from our house. Thats not even a mile. What do you think he thinks about that? If you want a relationship with your son, you are going to have to find a way to do it. I wouldn't probably be half the beeyotch I am today, if you and Tony didn't have no relationship at all and he didn't feel like you don't love him, want to be a father to him or to support him. Thats what probably burns me up the most.
