I'm currently going through a divorce and when my husband and I went to court I told the judge that my husband had an outstanding warrant. I let them know this so that our child would be protected. I didn't want my son put in a bad situation should his father be pulled over and he's with him. They didn't DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Then if you call the cops and tell them they also do nothing about it? Last I checked, having a warrant was a crime. Do we just have a LAZY A.S.S. system, or do the police just wait around for them to commit another crime THEN bust them?? Thoughts anyone?

USING the police for revenge??? LOL No, it's called keeping my son safe. I don't know any parent in their right mind who would let their child go with someone who has no drivers license, and a warrant for a failure to appear on burglary/credit card fraud charges. The warrant has not been lifted and i know this because the bail bond agency he went through keeps calling my house. I had nothing to do with bailing him out. So it's not about bitterness. I'm beyond all that. I just thought it was the police and judicial systems job to make the right choices and also to keep children safe. It's not about me, it's about my child. I would hate for him to get pulled over with my son in the car, my son is 9 years old and he has to witness all this? The system is a joke.

If he wants to continue to commit crimes, have warrants, and drive without a license for the rest of his life so be it. I couldn't care less, but when it involves my child that's where I draw the line.

Yes,,I knew I would get the "he was good enough to marry" line on here...lol My husband wasn't a loser until a little while after we separated. He used to be a good person. None of this is done out of revenge or bitterness. It's about what's right and wrong. Like I said, his lifestyle is his choice. But if it's going to be like this, then why should our son be subjected to it? What's the bitterness and revenge in that?

BTW..I get no child support from him nor am I trying to keep our son from him. He's doing that on his own. We share split custody and make about the same income, so nobody is paying anybody anything.

Divorce is messy, the Judge probably hears more than his share of grief from bitter parties. But yes, they could have looked into his warrant. He should get it taken care of if he wants to be a responsible parent and set an example.

So the guy was OK enough for you to marry - move into your home and father the child. However, now that you are getting divorced you are concerned about the warrant and your son's safety?
Did you husband commit these crimes while living in your home? Did you have the police remove him immediately as soon as you found out about the crime being committed since it would be so dangerous to have a criminal living under the same roof as his son? Did you turn your husband in to protect your son? Probably not.
Sound like the court saw it for what it is - a messy divorce and custody fight.

My question is how long did you know about the warrant and why did it just Suddenly become an issue for you? If you had really been concerned, you would have either talked with him about taking care of it earlier or you would have notified the police way before divorce entered the picture.
Revenge will come back to bite you in the rear so do things because they are the honorable thing to do, not because you suddenly want to get even. Don't blame the police and judge for not doing their job when you didn't do your job as a citizen first.

Unless it is a very serious felony warrant, no one is going to go look for him. Next time you are together, call the Police. Having a warrant, is not a crime, it just means that you failed to appear on a particular charge, and you're going to be arrested.

It is quite possible that the warrant was lifted, thus no longer in effect. Question is, were you two living seperate before you went to court? If so, he may have known that you would bring it up and had it taken care of without you knowing.

I can tell you this. No one likes being used. That is exactly what you are doing here right? Using the police to garner a little revenge?

what was the warrant for? if it was for outstanding tickets, he just needs to go pay. sometimes there is no need for extradition. how do you know that they did nothing about it? why don't you let the cops do their job, and you take care of your kid.
