OMG, must share a story here (short version)

My ex and I were trying to determine child support. His daddy was a
lawyer, so daddy's partner handled all his legal work for him free.

The court appointed a guardian-ad-litem in the case. She was to be paid
by us, 60/40, which was the income split being used to determine child
support. I was billed around $250 and paid it. He was billed around
$320 or so, and resented the hell out of having to actually give any
money to a lawyer (this was all a big game to him)

So, he went down to the bank and got approx $320 in change - nickels,
dimes, and quarters. He puts it all in a couple trash bags and goes to
the lawyers office. Proceeds to empty the trash bags on the secretary's
desk, telling her its payment for his bill!!!!

They wouldn't take it, of course. They told him they WOULD accept
rolled change for payment, but of course the secretary was NT about to
count his $320 in loosew random change and write a receipt for him.

He got ****ed and went ballistic. Ended up with criminal assault
charges against him. Did not win him any points with our child support
jusge!

Folks, learn a lesson here. Change is fine if it's rolled into normed
amounts. Not if it's loose and in a baggie. Did I mention that the ex
is a MORON???
