it was very close
the judge might have been effected by Kat crying in the room when he said he thought me going to jail until I paid $10,000 was a good idea.
they wanted an equal pound of flesh (money, paperwork, my unwavering compliance, and maybe some jail time), but found that they couldn't get it all at once and that it would cost them money
I let them know what I was willing to do ... $400/month plus doing their paperwork ... and that was almost not good enough for now. I also told them that if they threw me in for 10grand, that they would not get the money and I would just have to rot in the jail. I also told them if they went down that road, I would just leave the state, when I got the chance.
we shall see in the future
most of it hinged on the fact that some paperwork didn't get to me in the mail and they were mad that I hadn't filled it out ... now i have it
The judge also mentioned that he would rather have me disappear that have me sit in jail, since it would cost them money.
So if they can live with the smaller amounts, and CA lowers their requested per month, then I can stay here and work. If not, I think Kat and I will move to CA where I can work and not have to risk going to jail.
btw everyone in the system says they wish it was not like this, but they are doing their jobs. The judge also bases their claims against me on me not following "societies" orders. They don't understand why I am making this "personal". The dhhs lady also asked if she was being recorded. I guess she keeps up with the keeniacs antics. She also entered into the record, excerpts of this thread.
