Today's Court hearing was largely a draw. The matter was continued, but any financial ruling in my favor will be retro active. Unfortunately, the Court did not limit the scope of depositions tomorrow and my estranged wife's counsel, clearly intends to try to make an argument that my being openly gay - and worse yet, advertising to the LGBT market - makes me less able to earn more money. I guess his reasoning (or lack thereof) is that none of the homophobic law firms around here will hire an openly gay attorney.
How he intends to prove that defies belief. If he brings in any big law firms or big firm attorneys to make that statement, rest assured that I will identify them in a future post and turn them into all of the reputable laws schools in Virginia that include non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in their on campus interview policies. Any firm that will not honor that policy is barred from interviewing at those law schools.
In any event, tomorrow's depositions will not be fun and I suspect there will be wild claims of me buying stuff for Raymond (my b/f), notwithstanding that I can document that he has paid $1,000's in bills in my name, which is more than the estranged wife EVER did. In retrospect, she simply viewed me as her personal ATM machine.
Sorry to be peevish, but I am both saddened and angry!!
