Judge Orders Deployed US Sailor To Attend Custody Hearing Or Lose Daughter, arrest

[SteyrAUG]

Hey whoa, yall slow your roll. I'm not taking sides here. Having been privy to LegalO stuff in a command in WA state, I've heard my share of messed up situations like this. I'm well aware things happen and there are two sides to every story. I'd like to hear both. I'd like to hear why the ex is making a big deal. The question posed was made by a former Nav LegalO who I sat here and read the story to. I just relayed his question.

You are correct, there are usually two sides to the story. I, and I suspect others, are just sharing our experience that one of those sides is often complete bullshit driven by vindictiveness and opportunity, especially in cases of custody.

We don't have enough information to make a completely informed opinion, but based upon what we have so far it looks like a guy trapped in a tin can getting railroaded by a vindictive ex and a judge who should be serving cold fries at the drive through window.

I know admittedly very little about the Navy.

The highest ranking military member in the USAF, Gen Welsh, relayed a similar story to me (and others) earlier this year.
When he was a colonel in Korea and he found out a similar situation was happening to one of his Airmen, he moved heaven and earth to get that Airman on a plane and in court CONUS the next day.

Being on a sub is different logistically. But I have no doubt the Navy will do right by this Sailor.

How did I know judge Margaret Noe would look about like this.

Feminist troll. All she needs is some green skin.

And...the judge figured it out.

Lenawee County Judge Margaret Noe released an order Sunday delaying some matters until at least Oct. 22.

The judge cited a federal law that suspends court action when a member of the armed services is away. Noe says she didn’t know Matthew Hindes was in the Pacific Ocean until June 16 when he was supposed to appear or have someone bring his 6-year-old daughter to court.

Hindes and the U.S.S. Michigan’s command staff had sent letters to the court explaining his overseas military service, and they appear to have been filed on or before June 13.

I think this is a case of where the judge got caught doing something completely wrong and is attempting to backtrack as quickly as possible.

Now, that sailor had better have his crap together, and in the courtroom looking his Sunday best on October 22nd...

[SteyrAUG]

I loved this little tid bit about the child's biological mother who is suing to regain custody:

The mother applied last year to regain custody. Her latest filing in the case by Friday was in April, when she asked the judge to decrease her child-support payments for Kaylee because she lost her job and had a baby.

Angela Hindes, who lives in northern Ohio with her infant son, filed the request herself. Her lawyer withdrew from the case about a week prior, citing a “breakdown of relationship” and claiming she owed him $2,813.87, and her last payment was $20 in December, according to his request to withdraw.

So, the woman who can't keep her legs closed or a provide for herself wants another child...riiiiight.

She at least wants to be on the other end of child support i imagine!

How did she hire an attorney without a retainer? She must be cuter than me. The attorneys I've hired all worked like Soviet grocery stores. Leave your wallet at the door, and they will deduct what you on on the way out.

Good luck to that sailor, glad rule of law prevailed for him. The internet buzz does work some times.

Just saw the step mom on Fox this morning so the story looks like it is getting more traction.

She probably didn't. So long as there is a working male, females can get lawyers on contingency.
