That is just not true...you are still not understanding the difference between the petition that was filed by Ron in September and served on Crystal personally in October...and the notice of the December hearing that took place where the judge decided everything. The hearing notice was MAILED to both parties. Says so right there in the documents. Since Crystal failed to appear, the judge decided in Ron's favor. That's the way these things go here in Florida. He filed first...she was served the petition ONLY...her address was not correct on his petition...she didn't receive notice of the hearing...and where the heck was her attorney? He should have received the notice of hearing...but the papers say both parties were mailed the notice. He got his side presented to the judge...she didn't even get notice of the hearing.
I can't see why so many seem to see Ron as the good guy...I don't see anything of the kind. I see a drug user, domestic abuser, with a violent temper, who knows how to work the system, and he has a Mother who works with law enforcement who may have guided him on how to do it. The judge thought the grandmother, who worked for the Alachua county sheriff's office, would be helping to care for the children. Ron said he was going to put them in daycare. Instead, they end up cared for by his teen age mistress and Haleigh ends up missing.
#19 in the request for a rehearing really made my hair stand on end.
<snipped from document>
19. If this matter and the underlying and undisclosed issues are not addressed now, then it is only a matter of time before additions significant incidents
occur that will demand the Court's attention and the re-hash of what is more properly addressed now.
Look what's happened while they were in his custody.
