i live in wisconsin.
please. we need to know if any of this can be contested in a hurry... court date is for next Tuesday.....

ok we have been discussing this issue and because of the length i thought i would start this here......

Q: i have an affidavit here with all the other paperwork my wife got served yesterday. my question is if what is on here are lies isn't this committing perjury? and also possible slander?

sorry forgot to put this on the last post.......

"affidavit
n. 1) any written document in which the signer swears under oath before a notary public or someone authorized to take oaths (like a County Clerk), that the statements in the document are true. 2) in many states a declaration under penalty of perjury, which does not require the oath-taking before a notary, is the equivalent of an affidavit."

thats how i would take this definition, so am i correct?

also the affidavit states that:

"the petitioner did pre purchase attraction passes to Wet & Wild, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Sea World theme parks. Said amounts as were expended for the deposits are non-refundable. In addition, the petitioner did pre-book rooms at the Holiday Inn Express, with another non-refundable deposit."

wouldn't this mean he paid for them? If so, since he told my wife his girlfriend paid for everything, wouldn't this be a lie under oath as well? and do we have the right to ask to see all reciepts of the transactions?

speedy, you're reaching here.

Give it a rest.

Or better still, bring this issue up in court and let the judge tell you to put a sock in it. I would throw you out of my courtroom is you started this crap.

good thing i'm not going to "your" courtroom then. it was a simple and fair question. there is no need for saying i'm starting "crap". some of us who work hard for the little we have expect a little respect in return, i've damn nice and only offered my honest opinion on anything i've said. everytime i see your name on something your tearing into everything ANYONE says or asks about. sit back enjoy your retirement.
and by your response i would say that just because the "legal" term actually has a specific definition,they can blow it off like it means nothing. now i see why people that sit here and try to follow things set forth in judgments and court orders get it stuck to them and when you disregard what you've been ordered to to, you get a finger pointed in your direction and thats it. "give it a rest"... yeah, i can do that and at the same time i'll let the kids suffer because the only way they have any clothes or anything esle is if their mother and i supply it for them/him. how about i just let them walk around in their underpants all the time they are at his home because we are not "ordered" to supply clothes or shoes or any of the "normal" every day things a mother and a father should give the kids. the only one i see actually doing anything for them is the mother ..

now does anyone else here have any actual information for me?

Christ on crutches. The judge is - quite frankly - not going to give a flying f*ck if Dad or his girlfriend paid for the freaking passes. The trip is prepaid. Tell Mommy to start packing the kid(s).

haha..... you know..... no, he can pack them. i would also like to see him get in my house at 2:00 - 3:00 in the morning for the kids since they will be at my house. on their mothers COURT ORDERED DAY (S).

this whole system seems to be a joke, they say you need to have a piece of paper with a "judges" name on it stating what days your allowed to have them , but when you do....... doesn't matter anyways, hell the other parent can take them any how.

When he goes to court and has a judge order Mom to have them ready to go on this trip - she better damn sure have them ready. And you better just stay out of the way.

Speedy, do yourself a favor and print out this thread and take it to at least three family law attorneys. And do not tell them which writer you are.

Then sit back and actually listen to them. Because you are acting like a three year-old and it's stuff like this that causes parents to lose custody.

You want to laugh? Go right ahead.

Don't be an ass. Your wife isn't the only parent who's gone through this. BTDT

I have a couple of things to say.

First off, my husband is in a Management position at Holiday Inn Express and has been there for almost 2 years. They do not have "non-refundable" deposits. They reserve a room on a credit card, and by doing that, they guarantee your room. They may even pre-authorize the room amount on that card, but nothing is charged on it until the guest checks in. So, saying that they made a "non-refundable deposit" on that room, to someone that knows how HIE works, is a bunch of bunk. Even if a cash deposit was sent in advance, they do have a 72 hour cancellation policy. The ONLY way that the deposit would NOT be refunded is if the cancellation wasn't made timely and the room was held for someone that didn't show up. Then, and only then, the deposit is forfeited. And to be honest, sometimes it doesn't have to be a 72 hour notice because things "do" come up and the cash deposit will be refunded. There is no policy with HIE that says a deposit is non-refundable.

Now, that said...If your wife gives you money to go out and buy clothes for the child, who do you say purchases them? You, because you actually bought them, or your wife because she actually paid the money? Come on now, be honest. If my husband gives me money to get his girls clothes, they tell their mom, "Look what MG bought me!". Same with if I pay for something for my daughter, but HE's actually the one to take her to the store, etc. Just because SHE paid for it, doesn't mean that HE didn't "purchase" it. You're trying to nit-pick the issue here. Reminds me of Clinton... "Depends on what your definition of "is" is." The court isn't going to care one way or the other who actually shelled out the cash for it, what they will concern themselves with is the fact that the tickets were purchased.

A judge "may" (and even that is doubtful) want to see proof that the tickets were purchased in advance, but that in no shape or form gives YOU the right to view them.

No one is trying to be an ass... only trying to keep you from looking like one in the courtroom Tuesday.

BTW... Krispen? If ya ever need a room in Hendersonville, just to get away, let me know. I've got some pull with one of the future employees there. :D

MissouriGal... i do understand what your saying and i do realize thisis something that most would not care about. now to your points. 1) what your explained about the "refund" or lack of is what i have been told from every hotel i've ever stayed in. so thats why i asked about that... ( just sounded like he was B.S.ing to me)
2)i asked about the paying for it part because, he stated in court, to me , my wife, both attorneys and the judge that he doesn't have enough money to even pay for food to feed his kids without going with out eating any food for himself for a week.(THIS IS WHY i brought up the part about how could he suddenly pay for this trip). and for the fact of who paid for it , i couldn't give a rats a$$ if he did opr if she did, just be honest about it( exspecially under oath) what would have been so hard for him to state his GF had already put deposits down?
3) thank you, at least you actually answered my question about the receipts.
4) i don't go to court when he is there, simply for the fact i'll hurt him. i informed my lawyer of that already and when asked why, it was simple, don't describe how you plan on haveing me and the kids mother killed to the kids in detail and expect me to be nice.

doesn't matter any how..... i recommended she let her go last night , her punishment will be waiting when she gets back home.

so thanks again MissouriGal, at least you could give a simple (well fairly simple) answer to an extremely easy question.

non-refundable deposits

There can be non-refundable deposits, depending on where you bought the room.

priceline
hotwire
expedia
orbitz
etc.

I have used Priceline for lots of things and I know Holiday Inn is one that uses priceline since I stayed there.

The catch is there is no cancellation policy, you cannot change the dates or hotel room or even who the name is on the reservation, basically you don't use it as you reserved it then you lose it.

Just thought I would give my two cents that yes it may be non-refundable especially if they were cost cutting.

and that is priceline's policy, NOT Holiday Inn's.
