"you are challenging my authority"

[oddity2001]

These are the words of a sheriff.

We had a child welfare hearing today to try and gain increased contact with my children. I can see my eldest son twice a week unsupervised and my youngest one a week SUPERVISED. All of this due to bullshit created by my "wife" who attacked me, i reacted and got done for "domestic assault".

I was arrested and charged for this. However this was thrown out of court.

Now we had a new sheriff appointed in early September she point blank refused to accept a bar reporters report stating that is in the best interest of my children to have increased contact with me due to the domestic violence allegation. We were to request a report from the contact centre regarding my youngest.

We managed to get this done in record time. We saw the same sheriff today who point blank stated she had made her decision in September and why were we challenger her authority.

The decision had NOTHING to do with the best interests of the children instead it had to do with satisfying the ego of this bitch.

So much for justice in this country. I have seen my youngest child 19 times since he was born. At out last contact he had a blank look on his face like i was a stranger. This is soul destroying but the sheriff cannot lose face.

Has anyone else experienced egotistical sheriffs before?

I'll just sit here with some popcorn ;)

Tell us more about how she attacked you and how you reacted?

Can I have some popcorn?

You think it's ok to call someone a bitch, really?

there must be serious concerns if supervision has been recommended?

this is going to be interesting. ..popcorn for me too please and who are you describing as 'we'?

What did your 'reaction' comprise of exactly?

So your "wife" created bullshit which landed you with a DV charge (how is your DV charge her fault??? Have you no control over your fists?) and the Sheriff (a professional woman) is a bitch? Lovely. Yes, I would be happy to hand my son over to you too

Can you say some more about the details of your breakup, the assault, and the court case? It is hard to advise with so little to go on.

And why are you posting this on Lone parents and not legal?

the sheriff was far from professional, hence the derogatory term used.

my "wife" grabbed a phone from my hand and threw it at me, i responded by pointing my finger at her, She grabbed my hand, i grabbed her hair and released it a second later. So yes i can control my fists. I reacted to being attacked.

There was no reason whatsoever to grab her hair. You sound like a violent arsehole.

Why did you and your partner break up?

supervised contact was initiated due to the age of the youngest child.

Social services have looked in to the case and stated there is nothing of concern.

we broke up because of that incident. Since i am no longer fit to be a father and husband because i raised my hand at a women. Despite acting in self defence.

But you weren't acting in self defence? At all. You chose to grab her hair.

I didn't think supervised was automatic with a young child if they've been with you from being born anyway?

"nickifury" it is acceptable to throw a phone at me!
it is acceptable to grab my hand and twist it!
yet reacting to that makes me a "violet arsehole"

"monanaGeller"
well this was the case

"BitchPeas"
i reacted to being attacked

No it's not acceptable, not at all, but I can see no reason at all why you had to grab her hair. That's not self defence.

You were arrested on pretty serious charges according to your other thread. Generally courts like contact to progress, so if it hasn't I would assume they have legitimate welfare concerns.

Nickyfury - picture yourself in that situation, it takes a very cool customer not to react.

I think you should stop whinging and face your responsibilities.

What was happening with the phone / phone call? You both seem to have been very invested in it.
