43 days. No end in sight. My best friend my baby boy, 10 yrs old. Almost 11. His mother has taken him from me for her own vengeful grudge against me. She filed an domestic violence injunction against me. We haven't been together for 3 yrs now. She moved on to another man. I have no quam with that. But after 13 yrs together I thought she would have a heart to wait. Went to court for the injunction in absolute confusion? End of story She showed up to court in pajamas a hoodie and a bun in her hair. Straight out of bed. Not a piece of paper not any evidence of anything she was trying to say. I walked in with folders notebooks and 23 letters of character witness, ranging from firefighters, I've been brothers with for 25 years, all the way down to people I've only known for 2 years. 6 hours driving around the entire panhandle of Florida to collect these letters. I had 5 days. There will be 150 letters now by the time we get to family court. From all of you that know me since a child. I didn't even need to open the letters, but I did. And I found out Im a much better person than I thought and 100% great father. Soccer, jiu-jitsu, coached his soccer team with my bad ankles! He saw me jumping up and down at a game one day and yelled, "dad stop jumping you're gonna hurt your ankles!" Your knee!!! Ha. Such a caring sweet baby boy. Court for domestic violence? Went like this, well you know about the pajamas. Judge said this is going to work like this. She will give her opening statement and present any evidence she has. Then you will have your turn for the same so there's no back and forth. She stated her 30 second piece, the judge asked her what domestic violence are you talking about? Do you have anything to present. She said no I just didn't know what to do. Wow. The judge looks at me and instead of saying Mr Bennett your opening statement, he looks at me and says Mr Bennett, is there a question you would like to ask her? I responded I thought it was my time to admit my statement and evidence. He looks at me again and asks. Is there anything you want to ask her? 1 question. He knew exactly what I would ask. At this point I'm feeling like he's making me ask her. He said look at her not me. So I said the first question in my statement. What are you talking about? What violence verbal physical what in the world are you talking about? 13 yrs together never any police or neighbors to the house, we know the same people they will vouch that this is absolute ridiculous and false. This was her response on camera in the courtroom, in front of god and everyone. The judge the officials. LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS PFFFFFF. Judge shut it down immediately. It's amazing she wasn't held in contempt. 43 days now. She blocks his phone but he gets through sometimes. His words when I told him his mother was taking me to court over that false accusation, you never wanna hear your child say. SHE IS A HORRIBLE PERSON AND SHES BEEN WAITING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. In case anyone here doesn't know, my son is my entire world. Im not rich I have faults, we all do. That doesn't make me a bad person. It makes me a human being. Now I am left with the option of representing myself in court, or pay for a lawyer and court fees with she Will have to pay me back. I have been strongly advised even though this is an air tight case, I need a lawyer. 54 tardies in one year on her watch to school. Not 10 min late, 2 or 3 hours late. Phone calls at work hey Dada can you come take me to school nobody here will wake up or take me..9 am.. 10 am. Anyone know what it's like to pull up to your sons mother's house him standing in the driveway with the most sad face I've ever seen, multiple times. Wouldn't talk on the way to school. That's a very rare thing. I'm usually the one talking to him rambling on taking him to school. Get him happy and awake. This isn't about me. This is about him. He's dying inside. I Will do whatever I have to do to get my son back. And all I'm asking is 50/50. Anyone who knows me and the trauma my family has been through, I would never take him away from his mother. Unless there were extenuating circumstances. I implore you to think about this sweet boy. She's hurt me enough that can go no longer. Now she's hurting him. If anyone wants to verify my truth, I can show it in writing from Memphis himself. I never thought I'd get so down to have to ask for money until my brother got sick. I did. He's alive because of it now. This is a different animal. I cannot live without my son Memphis James Bennett. Worse? He can't live without his Dada. It's gone way too far. Thank you all destinites and others around the globe to come to my side knowing the truth. I apologize for needing this kind of help. God bless you all and thank you.
