Richard,
For some reason, I never saw that first post.
I understand your response now.

Re: How Attorney's feel
Folinskyinla,
I've been following all 3 "GC with Childsupport Enforcement" threads.
I didn't find any of the attorneys to be overly preachy or strident. Maybe it's because I happen to agree with you, so naturally your comments wouldn't sound harsh to me. I have actually found you (all) to be overly tolerant 99% of the time. You put up with a bunch of newbie, do-it-yourselfers, who want to argue the law with you, and then disregard your advice. As far as the child support issue, that is not just a legal issue. It is a moral issue. Folks with any moral compass know there is no logical argument against a non-custodial parent's responsibility to their children. We may all have different levels of passion about it, but right is right.
It's too bad you even felt that you had to start this thread Folinsky. Anybody who doesn't "get" what you guys are about, isn't paying attention.

I don't know how many of you have been following the string on "GC with Childsupport Enforcement" -- but it got me thinking that a lot of you may like to know how the lawyers here might view things.
There are three California lawyers who regularly participate here, two of whom are wonderful. You've got Matt Udall, rock musician, home brew guy and marriage visa lawyer extraordinaire. Then there is Dekka's Angel from the San Francisco Bay area who is NOT an immigration lawyer but has gone through the process of bringing over her beloved Dekkie. [Angel: I've learned to love and respect you and I will tell Dekkie that he is a very lucky man who will never have a dull moment ever again in his life].
Oh, yes, and then there is yours truly.
All three of us tend to show strong feelings and opinions on this NG -- and beleive me -- you don't see half of it -- our professional training includes the ability to say "Thank you, your Honor" when your mind is screaming epithets at full volume].
Do you ever wonder why lawyer types get these strong feelings? In my opinion, and the observations of the posting on the NG -- it comes from the experience of practicing our professions.
Quite often, we are invovled when the brown material hits the fan -- and the lawyers get hired to use their professional shovels to help clean up the mess. And we tend to see the messes all the time.
We may make a living at this, but we try to help people -- there is a satisfaction in doing this that can't be quantified. And it bothers us when we see people get into problems that could have been easily avoided.
So, although we may get strident at times - there is a reason for that.

Andrew -
The last time I checked, about 77% of the posts to this forum came from Britishexpats, meaning that 77% of the viewers of this forum are using a browser to view the posts. Your posts are nearly undecipherable when viewed the way most folks do so. Your choosing to make your posts look so goofy that people are more likely to just bypass them than read them because it is so painful to read them seems to me to be an odd choice. To each their own.
Actually, one of the great things about being me is that there just aren't a whole lot of things that I HAVE to do. But I can ignore your drivel, THAT is what I choose to do. Good day -

How Attorney's feel

Hi:
I don't know how many of you have been following the string on "GC with
Childsupport Enforcement" -- but it got me thinking that a lot of you
may like to know how the lawyers here might view things.
There are three California lawyers who regularly participate here, two
of whom are wonderful. You've got Matt Udall, rock musician, home brew
guy and marriage visa lawyer extraordinaire. Then there is Dekka's Angel
from the San Francisco Bay area who is NOT an immigration lawyer but has
gone through the process of bringing over her beloved Dekkie. [Angel:
I've learned to love and respect you and I will tell Dekkie that he is a
very lucky man who will never have a dull moment ever again in his
life].
Oh, yes, and then there is yours truly.
All three of us tend to show strong feelings and opinions on this NG --
and beleive me -- you don't see half of it -- our professional training
includes the ability to say "Thank you, your Honor" when your mind is
screaming epithets at full volume].
Do you ever wonder why lawyer types get these strong feelings? In my
opinion, and the observations of the posting on the NG -- it comes from
the experience of practicing our professions.
Quite often, we are invovled when the brown material hits the fan -- and
the lawyers get hired to use their professional shovels to help clean up
the mess. And we tend to see the messes all the time.
We may make a living at this, but we try to help people -- there is a
satisfaction in doing this that can't be quantified. And it bothers us
when we see people get into problems that could have been easily
avoided.
So, although we may get strident at times - there is a reason for that.

Hi:
I don't know how many of you have been following the string on "GC with
Childsupport Enforcement" -- but it got me thinking that a lot of you
may like to know how the lawyers here might view things.
There are three California lawyers who regularly participate here, two
of whom are wonderful. You've got Matt Udall, rock musician, home brew
guy and marriage visa lawyer extraordinaire. Then there is Dekka's Angel
from the San Francisco Bay area who is NOT an immigration lawyer but has
gone through the process of bringing over her beloved Dekkie. [Angel:
I've learned to love and respect you and I will tell Dekkie that he is a
very lucky man who will never have a dull moment ever again in his
life].
Oh, yes, and then there is yours truly.
All three of us tend to show strong feelings and opinions on this NG --
and beleive me -- you don't see half of it -- our professional training
includes the ability to say "Thank you, your Honor" when your mind is
screaming epithets at full volume].
Do you ever wonder why lawyer types get these strong feelings? In my
opinion, and the observations of the posting on the NG -- it comes from
the experience of practicing our professions.
Quite often, we are invovled when the brown material hits the fan -- and
the lawyers get hired to use their professional shovels to help clean up
the mess. And we tend to see the messes all the time.
We may make a living at this, but we try to help people -- there is a
satisfaction in doing this that can't be quantified. And it bothers us
when we see people get into problems that could have been easily
avoided.
So, although we may get strident at times - there is a reason for that.
