UPDATE: our motion was granted and publication began today. If Mary doesn't respond in the 4 weeks the publication is ran, the judge will make a determination on the facts we have presented.
I have went back and forth on posting a Willow update because I know Mary Harvill is watching my page. But I know everyone is wondering what the heck is going on.
Mary was served New Year's Day. However, the paperwork was not filed properly. I attempted to have her served an additional 15 times without success. I petitioned the court for notice by publication, which was denied because the court felt it was expensive (the short explanation). I was trying to fight my case in small claims court to ensure I got Willow back versus taking the risk in civil court of the judge putting a cash value on Willow.
With this being said, I was forced to retain an attorney (who is a badass and is worth the 7k). We have tried to have Mary served without success. My attorney has petitioned the court for notice by publication which should be granted this week. From there an ad will be ran in the Gresham newspaper for 4 weeks. At that point we will be issued a court date and I will get Willow back, or unfortunately the court can put a cash value on her, and that is what I have to accept.
