Tom:
I wanted to get back to you in regards to your December 7th e-mail. I apologize for the lateness in my response.
If spending more quality time with the children has really become a priority to you, then I trust you will do whatever it takes to enroll and complete the court ordered drug testing and evaluation. (This is your financial responsibility as ordered by the Judge). I have had to adjust to living on my own while solely raising three children. I have no extra money. Especially, since you are to date, in arrears for $9,688.69 for child support.
You say you "feel like I'm in between a rock and a hard place". But it is your inability to be held accountable for your responsibilities that has actually placed the CHILDREN between a rock and a hard place.
You have stated that it is hard for you to come up with your Alki Beach rent. Why haven't you considered moving from that high rent district? That is one of the reasons I am moving from Issaquah.
You claim that you are "out of work". However, I know that you are currently booking your magic performances, ie. strolling gigs (holidays being your busiest time of year) and that each performance brings in $500.00 plus for the first hour alone. You have the money. You have the talent, ways and means to make the money. What you choose to do with that money is your decision. And obviously, seeing your children ever other weekend is not a choice you wish to pursue.
