Need Expert Witnesses -GSD Breeders/Trainers - Page 2

What you could do is to claim that because you are forced to move due to abuse.......you will have to create a whole new client base from scratch.....

What stops the sob from getting a job? What is he "able" to do. Put a price on it.....and counter sue.

The only expert you need is an expert lawyer.
And send the other SOB a case of his favorite beverage just for fun.

Maybe I was premature about the expert witness thing. Just because his attorney says he is producing one for the court who will "testify" the I am "capable" of making lots more than my poor husband has been making for all these years. The answer to my defense came to me, as so many do these days, [insert harp music here] while I was scraping poop off the floor of my friend's nice, LICENSED boarding and training kennel here in Central PA. Its so simple I feel like a complete idiot for not thinking of it a week ago when I was served those stupid papers.

How much one is "capable" of making training and breeding dogs for one's living is irrevelent if one does not have a place to do so... and in PA anyone through whose hand's over a certain number of dogs passes annually (is it 24? Can't rmember) MUST have a licensed kennel.
I haven't even had a litter in about 2.5 yrs., 4 litters in 7 yrs., and one of those "litters" was a single pup. So much for getting rich breeding dogs. I don't think the court is going to ask me to operate a puppy mill so I can pay a guy who makes over $38/hr. as a tenured union carpenter, with benefits to die for (Did I really write that?) ... heart attack or no heart attack. The way his retirement and pension, savings, etc., etc, is set up, if he never works another day in his life, which he very well may not, he'll be better off than he was when he WAS working for the rest of his life. The only year since we've been married that I made anywhere near what he did was when he was laid off and never went down to sign in at the union hall for nearly six months.

He survived, BTW, released last Monday. I hope he's comfortable, but why wouldn't he be... laying in MY bed, surrounded by MY belongings, while he, his attorney, friends & family and who knows who-all else go through drawer after drawer of my files, searching for something to use against me somehow, for something, ANYthing.  He's just SURE his kids are telling me his secrets, (no paranoia there) but the truth is everybody in town has an EMS scanner. Its like the local pastime. Small town, not many radio stations. Scandal is the essence of life in coal country. The kids were actually among the last people in town to know, 3rd or 4th hand. So much for keeping it from me. LOLOLOL The only difference it made in my day was having to recharge my cell battery a couple of extra times after listening to all those VM's and returning all those calls. I don't know why he was worried about me finding out. Isn't life support equipment hard-wired into the wall in most hospitals these days?

I have my dogs' registration papers and 2009 dog licenses with me, (not their rabies cert's, damn it)  but that's about it. He has everything else. The good news is that I DON'T HAVE any serious skeletons in my closet and the baby would-be ones are really OLD.

Ahhhhhh. I love black humor. Too much Monty Python as a teenager I guess.

T and Xena look mighty comfy on the bed. If I can get T to move a little bit I think I can squeeze in on the side up against the wall.
Some dog trainer, me, eh?

Thanks all.

Is this a joke? Who in their right mind would want to get meddled up in your business? It sucks you seem to be in dire straights, but when will it end?

These divorce threads are creeeeepy, it reminds me of a cold case forensic file in the making.
JMO.

I miss the political threads.  lol

Shelley- as you know, I train professionally and occasionally breed. I wish I made 70k a year! I'd be happy to help you any way I can.

I know an ex who made well into 6 figures.  He lost that job, and during the divorce took a job handing out flyers in a grocery store.  He kept that job until the divorce was final and the child support set (his ex asked for no alimony, only child support).  The amount of child support was based on his paycheck, NOT on his past income or some "fantasy" income of what he could earn.  It was based on what he DID earn.  So she got, for 2 children, a miniscule amount of money - you couldn't have boarded a dog on it - as his contribution to raising the children.   Eventually he took a well-paying job again, and she would've had to hire an attorney to go after him to increase the support (it did not increase automatically).  They were in different states and she couldn't afford the attorney, let alone the travel for the fight.

IMO her little family would've been better served by hiring a GOOD lawyer and going after him to get the money they deserved, but that's me.  I can understand when kids are involved you don't want to drag on the ugliness.  In Shelley's case, though, with no children - GET A GOOD LAWYER.

State law varies. In Oklahoma, you can be in PRISON and they will calculate what you would earn at 40 hrs at a minimum wage job to set your child support. That way you can come out of prison owing tons of child support and have the only way out be to go BACK to prison.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ALIMONY THING TO LIGHTLY. I have a girlfriend and the judge told her to get a better job and gave her 60 days. YOU GO IN PREPARED, PERIOD.
