I understand. It is promoting first one to the judge wins. No repercussions, just throw them out, and create a mess. Does not matter that there is no police report, does not matter that she already was out of the house. Does not matter that the Pendente de lite would be heard in two weeks. Does not matter the lawyers were already assigned and I could be summoned via a single call. Does not matter this was three days after the "incident". Didn;t matter that the affidavit said I did nothing, didn't threaten, no violence, never anything in 20 years of marriage, never in trouble no record not even a speeding ticket. All that mattered was an attorney that was willing to get in front of a judge and argue it.

I think the lawyer should be held responsible.

Thank you for your input.
