Mark Vance Halburn called WV Legislative offices last Thursday afternoon demanding answers on what he called a “50-50 Custody” bill.
He's probably talking about Senate Bill 51. It passed on March 10 and it's effective in 90 days but it hasn't been signed into law yet.
§48-9-206 is probably what he’s getting in a froth about. It says that custody should be shared if the court determines it is in the best interests of the child.
Halburn, however, has consistently shown a problem with acting in his child’s best interest. In his child’s case, shared legal custody is MOST CERTAINLY NOT in the best interest of the child.
And that's the bottom line.
It doesn't matter what he thinks.
The Court would absolutely not agree with him. And has. Repeatedly.
He has minimal visitation precisely because of his behavior, but his irrational behavior last June was the straw that broke the camel's back. The Court ordered him to have absolutely NO CONTACT with his son until May 2019.
The people at the Capitol were helpful until he started yelling and threatening and demanding supervisors and home numbers and shit. I mean seriously. Yelling at a secretary? It’s just so shitty. Especially after she answered his question.
And then he called the Clerk’s office and demanded to speak to the Clerk and when he was told the Clerk was not in, he demanded to know where he was and if he was not there he demanded to speak to HIS supervisor.
PutnamLIES.com was told he was hard to hear and breaking up. Sounded like he was in a car.
Probably so. Probably driving to an important supervisory job.
They just should have explained to him that the session is over and to please call again next year.
“Call back in 2019, thanks” or "Sorry, we don't respond to out of state residents. Many Thanks!"
You know what someone there should have asked him? How his psychotherapy is going.
Because we have serious doubts he’s complying.
But if he is, it ain't working.
He didn’t call back after his first pants shitting meltdown ... so maybe he finally arrived at his shelf stocking job or some such shit.
