A Few Emails

Let's start with this email from me to Amanda Mayes.

Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008
From: Nathaniel Livingston
Subject: Notice of Filing and Request for Temporary Injunction
To: Amanda E. Mayes

Amanda,

This email serves as proof of my attempt to notify you of the following.

Today, I am filing for custody of Mandi and Soleil. I am asking the Juvenile Court to grant me an emergency temporary injunction against you. Since I don't have a way to contact you and you have failed to respond to my earlier messages and I don't know your current residential address (and that of the girls), I am required to do my best to notify you of my request for the temporary injuction. That has been accomplished with this email.

The Court may grant my request without you being there, or it may set a hearing date. If the Court sets a hearing date, I will again attempt to contact you by email. And I am sure the Court will attempt to notify you by mail.

Take care.

Then there was this email from Amanda Mayes to Monica Williams. (Hey, I think we need a nickname for Monica on this blog. I was thinking "BBB" as in The Big Black Bitch or something that defines her role as the person who wanted to take the place of Amanda's longtime lesbian lover, Janice, and always resented the fact that I wouldn't allow her to brainwash my children into believing they had or needed "2 mommies," even if she tried to call herself a "God"mother.) Any suggestions?

Got this [the email posted above] from Nate today. I also filed for a Personal Protection Order against him. Mine was also filed ex-parte. I'll let you know how things go. Hope you're feeling better. Mandi says Hi. Be sure to let Nischelle know Mandi is thinking about her.

Peace,

Amanda

I checked on the clerks site and did not see the filing but they may not list juvenile court stuff you need to contact Tyrone [Yates] and print email and give to legal people.

I'll do so. Thanks. Nate sent me another email. It's too long and too stupid to forward. Try to keep an eye on what he's up to as much as you can, OK?

Amanda

The first email from Amanda Mayes to Tyrone Yates.

Subject: I need to speak to you
From: Amanda Mayes
Sent: Thu 1/10/08
To: Tyrone Yates; Tyrone Yates

Please call me as soon as you can. I left a voicemail on your phone. I'm hoping you just didn't get the message. I'm in Michigan. I can be reached on my sister's cell phone. (734) 217-xxxx. Call before 4pm or after 11pm.

Amanda E. Mayes

A copy of the first email posted above was also forwarded from Amanda Mayes to Tyrone Yates.

The next email is from Amanda Mayes to Monica Williams.

Nate is here!

Girl, I just left the Ann Arbor Court House. I needed to go there to speak to a woman helping me with my PPO, and as Bebe, Stella, and I were leaving we saw Nate walking in. He saw us. We saw him. Bebe was all excited. I was in shock. He looked bad. His cheeks were sunk in like he'd lost a lot of weight.

I just snatched Bebe and left. Bebe was crying. She wanted to see Nate. She didn't understand what was going on....

....

I'll keep you posted. You keep your eyes and ears open and let me know if you hear anything.

Still haven't heard from Tyrone. But I guess I may not need him anyway if Nate is going to file here. I guess that's another good thing. I haven't yet spilled my guts to Tyrone unnecessarily.

Amanda

At a later date, we will come back to this email with Amanda admitting that she "snatched" our daughter, causing her to cry. We will also discuss other instances of abuse that have, for the most part, been ignored by the Hamilton County Juvenile Court.

This email is from me to Amanda Mayes.

Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008
From: "Nathaniel Livingston"
Subject: visitation
To: "Amanda E. Mayes"

Hello Amanda,

I guess you know the court gave me overnight visitation with Mandi beginning this Friday, January 18, 2008, at 6 pm. The order says she must be returned to you on Sunday at 6 pm. I would like our exchanges to be peaceful and orderly. I am suggesting you to drop Bebe off at the Milan Police Station on Friday and I'll drop her off there on Sunday. I am, of course, open to your suggestions.

As always, you can reach me by phone at 513 353 xxxx or by replying to the email address above.

Take care,

Nate

Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008

I hope you're doing well. I didn't call last night as I figured you needed a break. This is the latest from Nate. I also found out yesterday that it seems the Hamilton County Court did award him an ex-parte order for weekend visitation. However, I was also awarded my PPO from the Washtenaw County Court. So, he has supervised visitation here with Catholic Social Services. I still need to get him served, and he needs to get me served. I talked to Ron about using his Ford attorney. It turns out, the lawyer can't be used for this kind of stuff. Too bad. Back to the drawing board. I also heard from Tyrone [Yates]. He's in the Middle East and hadn't gotten my messages for that reason. (Phew!) I have an interview today with a local Lamaze organization. Keep your fingers crossed for me. You see Nate is using my situation as a rationale for why he should have the girls. I'll keep you posted on my progress. You make sure to send me your text messages via email. Thanks!

From Amanda Mayes to Monica Williams. PAT ATTENTION to the line about Legal Aid.

Good to hear from you! My PPO has an addendum stating that the supervision will be supervised by Catholic Social Services here in Ypsi. We both have to call CSS to get everything set up, and if he fails to do so he gives up any visitation at all.

I still need to get him served, though. He left Vicky a voice message last night for me. He just wanted to remind me that he was coming Friday and will be keeping track of the costs he incures so that he can sue me for the money later. Jerk! Vicky went to court today and I guess everything went OK. I still haven't talked to her. She wants to be the one to serve him when he stops by her place, which is fine with me. So, we'll be staying someplace else this weekend. Otherwise I'll have to get with the Hamilton County Sheriffs to see about having him served at xxxxx.

Still looking for a lawyer. Legal aid was no aid at all. I think I'm going to have to pay for help. We'll see. I'll keep you posted.

Hope everything is going well with you. Bebe still talks about you and Nischelle all of the time. She wants to see you guys soooo bad.

PS - is Nate still blowing you up?

Peace,

Amanda

Legal Aid was no help at all, huh?

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and the public records laws of the State of Michigan and Ohio, the rest of the story can now be told. I'm confident that most of you, my faithful readers, will be shocked and angered when you hear what happened next....
