Can Not get a number for probate court. No options. Can not get anyone in the phone. I looked up and dialed 3 different lines.

Been visiting here for years as it is located in my hometown. Right now you do have to be let in. They check temps, you need a mask and have to fill out a questionnaire. But you can go anywhere you need to inside.

Keep an eye out for my book “Fighting for Elly,” which exposes the corruption and conflict of interest within the child support system and shows how the poor choices of a judge can destroy the lives of children — all while shielding the mother from the consequences of her own illegal and reckless actions. This book is a true story of a father’s fight for his daughter and a call for reform in a system that often forgets who it’s supposed to protect.
