@OmSigDAVID,
Quote:Bill's wife went before a judge. He was notified of that as well as his right to contest her charges.
He never appeared in court to defend himself--that was his choice.
We are talking about me again how nice but there was no hearing where I could challenge her nonsense unless I repeat I would contact the courts and request one.
I remember calling my lawyer up at the time after receiving the papers and asking what the hell I should do about this and he reply that she had just been serve with divorce papers so what the point, as you will shortly have her out of your life in any case.
Unlike Zimmerman I was bright enough in going back into the home, to had brought three witnesses along with me, all those one of them would not have carry a lot of weight being my father still with two and a half witnesses that saw the only person that was hit was myself as she attempted to provoke me into hitting her I do not see that the order to not assault her, not a stay away order, would had stood if I had fought it,
Now knowing what a big deal any such order had become over the decades I would had move to have it set aside an I regret I took my lawyer advice at the time.
She did do me one hell of a favor as my divorce was the first in my family history going back many generations and by lying as she did over such a matter she took away any question that I was going to get her out of my life at any cost.
Then it also sadly took knowing my now wife for 21 years before I could bring myself to put my life into any woman hand by marrying her.
My best man save a paper I gave him in 1982 saying I would never remarried and gave it back to me in Las Vegas in 2006 just before I married Annette.
