The Police refused to enforce a PFA granted by the court and yet refused to defend me, rather I was told to "Leave the house, isn't your health more important than your property". So now I find myself facing another Back surgery and nearly everything I owned is gone or vandalized. She has my children most of the time, who previous to filing for divorce I cared for almost by myself. My income has been garnished from my bank account that she now takes 2/3rds, leaving me unable to support my home. She violates the courts order for visitation and they do nothing, actually taking more money and giving me even less time with my children. All of my abuse from her is documented, she has not a single incident of abuse by me and yet she is allowed to play "victim" with the court siding with her at every turn. I stayed in an abusive relationship for 6 years and when I sought help, I got none. My name is Don Reitmeyer. I live in Danville, PA. I see no sense in fighting against a biased system. I will soon be homeless. The only people prospering are my abusive ex wife who lives in subsidized housing and pays no bills, and the attorney's who keep the game alive. The Laws need changed to reflect reality and statistics. Anyone who can offer advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. reitme@verizon.net<br />Thank You.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711514529946834564.post-78897765471414337652013-03-11T09:04:23.963-07:002013-03-11T09:04:23.963-07:00Hi!
