    This sounds like advice for my wife as if I was going to somehow screw her over. Was this for me?

    David Thomas in DeFuniak Springs (Office across from courthouse) 892-0700. He may have opened an office in SRB. I've used him and referred him to two of my friends recently, and they were pleased with the service. He's a go-getter and a Tiger if he needs to be.

    Hope everything works out for you......keep your chin up.

    Gee, is there no way that you can reconcile? A broken marriage results in at least two broken hearts.

    I am so sorry for the two of you.

    I heard a very nice trick, go to every divorce lawyer in the phone book and get a consultation. Once you file it will make it very difficult for the responding party to find someone who does not have an existing relationship with you.

    Scott Whitehead and his staff have been amazing for us. He is helping us with a custody case right now. His office is not too far away either

    That's grayt to hear! Every marriage goes through some hail.... if it didn't there wouldn't be growth & spouses wouldn't love & appreciate each other the way that they should. It's called growth & sometimes growth ain't so pretty while you're going through it! Y'all hang in there & you'll be just fine.

    Try to get it in front of Judge Green. He is fair and I would think you would do OK there.
    Any particular reason to use lawyers from DeFuniak?

    Plus, hopefully he will not need the services of our court.

    My BFF is a therapist, and deals with lots of couples. According to her, marriage is hard...

    I don't mean to make light of your situation, Geowickey. Just sayin' that I wish you well on your hanging in there! It's a tough job. Love really is impossible, when you think about it...

    I just read that you may be able to work it out. That is wonderful.

    That is the best way to do it if you can. I will be saying a prayer for you and your family.

    George Ralph is not retired.

    Judge Green is the county judge so I do not think he hears divorces.

    You are really starting to get annoying because of the disparaging remarks you seem to be making about everyone in this county.

    George from my understanding is not taking on any new clients. Unless he has change course in the last few months and I believe that judge Green does handle divorces but you may be right.

    I still say if you are going through a divorce to get Clayton. I have my reasons for saying that.

    I know some people like Mark but my money would lean toward Clayton although I have used Mark for something before and of course Allen is no longer with us and as far as the Judges brother well he is OK but again we go back to Clayton.

    I was told that George Ralph retired but if not that is great, I like him too but since Judge Wells (the father) passed away George Ralph lost some of his pull. I wouldn't count him out though.

    So my two choices would be Clayton, then George Ralph then Mark.

    Your second thought is silly so I will not comment.

    Any one who knew the late Judge would smile if you were going in front of him and you were a man. I deeply liked Judge Wells and to insinuate anything different is plain silly. Unlike you, I knew him. He was a good man who made sure men would pay their fair share in child support and alimony.

    Huh? I knew him well. Know his wife, went to school with Kelvin, know the whole family. But comments such as this further cement my thoughts. I have started a new social group and would like to personally invite you to join. Maybe there we can get to the root of this approval issue that you have and get your self-esteem back on track. Until then, I will be praying for you.
