Why do certain people still surprise me?

To give a minor update on what is happening with my ex-wife...

Currently, she is in trouble with Child Support. She owed a years worth, which she paid in two weeks ago. But, she still doesn't have a job (heck, she still lives with her parents), and is currently ignoring a court order to find one. So the State of Wisconsin is taking her to court for being a deadbeat mom.

So, I am sitting (in the middle of a meeting), and I get a phone call from her "new lawyer". Who tells me that I am to "cease and desist" from filing frivolous lawsuits, and "let them know" that we will not be going to court.

Do these people not understand that I am not doing this? I am not preventing her from finding employment? And most of all, I am not the one dragging her ass into court?

Ahh, but the plot thickens.

You see, it turns out her lawyer is a member of the same law firm that the court commissioner works for.

Which means, the trial gets "delayed". How convenient.

And to think, all she had to do was get a part time job at McDonald's. Or work at a gas station. She didn't have to get a "good" job, just something, anything. But instead of doing that (which should be done anyway, to support her OTHER child and her, what, 4th boyfriend and 2nd husband since we divorced?) she pays for a lawyer.

Some people are not very bright.
