The year was 2003. I and my ex-wife were legally separated and were at the county’s court house with our lawyers. I was frustrated at the slow pace at which our case was progressing and wanted unsupervised visits with my daughter. Her education and her health were being affected because of supervised visits.She was eleven years old. I prefer not to go into too much detail.
At that time it seemed my only function was to hand out funds to my lawyer and my wife because of which I eventually became poor.
After the hearing, I was surprised to hear the lawyers talking to each other almost apologetically. One lawyer, usually very loud and blunt, said softly ‘my client is crazy’ and the other responded ‘my client is nuts’ !
Back at my work place , while sharing with a coworker about what had happened at the courthouse, I mentioned this conversation and added half jokingly that the lawyers were talking to each other like they just had sex! I was disappointed and after that conversation, I knew that I couldn't expect much from the legal system.
I didn't mean that they really had sex!
