So I figured she might appeal the ruling. You know, the one she didn't show up for. But not Quite.

Rather than appeal the termination of child support and the dismissal of her request she has submitted a new petition, requesting a renewal of CS and the addition of college tuition, car insurance, etc.

Obviously, she saw Terminated and flipped her mind, thinking DH was going to get told he of Course needed to support Her, erm, I mean SD until I don't know, she dies I guess..... Cause it looks like she went down and filed this petition the day the ruling showed up in the mail. I think maybe she missed the part where the magistrate clearly wrote that their state does Not have the Authority to extend child support and overrule the original decree that is from another state. Can't do it lady. And since the state in which CS was original order is Not a state that thinks NCP's should be on the hook for Adults, they don't order parents to pay for college either.

I'm not entirely sure why it was just thrown out but whatever. But you better believe I'm going to badger the hell out of DH to go after her for attorney fees. Not our damn fault she was "late" to a court date. It was after 11 am too, so really.... In my world, she just thought she didn't need to bother showing up.

Oh and she's still asking for a GAL for SD in this. I really don't think I'd be able to find it in me to mourn or even feel all that bad for SD if BM got hit by a bus. Cause really, SD might have some hope of turning into a normal freaking person through the socialization of college if her stupid mother got out of her way.... Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic again.
