Another Update
Desiree:
Good morning. I just watched the KTVK video about Kristopher. Wow. That's pretty impressive that they showed the front of your house on TV and everything. Dude, I hate to rub it in but I mean, really! Your fiance, the man you stated (in still state) on Facebook that is the best, sweetest man you've ever known, was on television claiming that it was a sign from God telling him to steal an M4. You must be so embarrassed. And it's all over the Internet. I guess you're going to have to move again, huh?
Anyway, of course, I ordered a copy of the police reports because this is just too funny.
So, I guess you must be worried as hell about how their going to link you to all of this. I mean, the house is in your name; and the drugs and guns were found in the house. Didn't you know the police were investigating/monitoring you guys? If memory serves correctly didn't I tell you that a few months ago?
Oh well, I suppose you have enough problems of your own right now so you don't need my bullshit. I'll go amend my declaration for the evaluation hearing - I'm sorry, but I just can't leave this out. If you're not already in jail by the winter break do you still intend to exercise your visitation? Given this new development (guns and dangerous drugs in the house) I'm not so sure it's a good idea for Gabriel to be in your care.
Hope your day gets better.

You keep laughing buddy. I'm not going anywhere...you will be joining him though. And then I'll be laughing at both of you. Watch yourself - the Feds are on your doorstep.
Okay. I'll keep laughing. When the "Feds" arrive I'll have a coffee with them and we'll all have a good chuckle. I'll do you one better, though. Since I've been having such a problem securing a position here I've started looking at out of town projects and I've been getting quite a bit of interest from some companies in Vancouver. So, there is a distinct possibility that I will going to Vancouver. As soon as it's confirmed I will request a court order to take Gabriel there. And I'm pretty sure, in light of this development, the judge will not have to put too much thought into a decision. So, you may very well get part of your wish - I won't be deported but I will be out of the country. That's what you keep saying right? That I'm going to be deported? Then again, if I were deported that would save me the cost of the plane ticket.
P.S. Assuming arguendo that your allegations were true and I were a Canadian citizen then under Canadian law Gabriel is also considered a Canadian citizen and I wouldn't even have to get him a visa or apply to bring him there. I would just need the court's permission to take him out of the State of California. Also, for family law matters Canada is treated as though it were just another state (due to the strong ties and relations between the two countries) as opposed to it being an international move.
I forgot another important point: If I were to relocate to Canada (with the California Court's consent, of course), then jurisdiction of the custody/child support/visitation matters would transfer to British Columbia which means you would be subject to Canadian law and the hearings and proceedings would be in Vancouver.
Well hey - then you could actually work under you're real name, what a concept
Which name would that be? And why would the name I use be relevant to anything work related, as long as I use the right tax ID number.
You are no better than a dirty Mexican.
Well, let's be fair:
- I shower at least once a day so I'm not that dirty;
- the "dirty Mexican" would have to be a software engineer;
- the "dirty Mexican" would have to speak fluent English, a little Hebrew, a little French, and no Spanish;
- YOU married me and had a child with me, so what would that say about you? (then again, you clearly have poor choice in men);
- your opinion of me means as much to me as pocket lint;
- if I had a choice between being in your shoes right now, or a "dirty Mexican's" I would choose the "dirty Mexican's".
Perhaps you might want to make comments about me being a male prostitute? Maybe that would get a rise out of me? Nah. Doesn't really bother me. You could tell me that I was terrible in bed. Nope. That doesn't really bother me either. You could make fun of my bad teeth? No, I'm okay with that too. Damn, isn't there anything you could say or do to spite me? No. Not really.
I could say that you're no better than a [insert stupid reference here], but that would just be childish and uncreative. I'll leave that type of behavior to you. One of us should try to retain some level of dignity.
By the way, I'm still waiting for you to tell me what I've ever done to you in 2000-2001 that was so bad.
You told me you wanted me to let Gabriel die on the operating table and were mad that I opted for an emergency c-section. You told me to give the child up for adoption but only if you could get money for him and had me call to find out. You took a rental car out of state and I was driving it when the police ran the tags. Then you blamed me for it. You yelled at me and made me feel like shit for going to see Gabriel in the hospital. You told me repeatedly that I was no better than the whores who cheated on their husbands with you. And thats just off the top of my head.
My responses are inline, below:
No, I didn't. Let me refresh your memory. Before Gabriel was born the doctor advised us that due to being so premature there would be a very high probability of complications and/or defects, including possibly blindness and/or mental disabilities (retardation). He presented us with the option to terminate the pregnancy at that time. Your mother was hysterical that the doctor would propose such a thing. You, of course, adopted your mother's opinion. I suggested that it was something we should consider. Is it really fair to bring a blind, mentally retarded child into the world? Ultimately, as always, I said I would support whatever decision you went with.
Not quite. I was mad that you were being made to suffer and to go through all of that. I was mad that there was a possibility of Gabriel being disabled as a result of the complications. I was not mad at you or at Gabriel.
Let's review: you were frustrated and exhausted due to having to get up every few hours to feed him. You needed a break. YOU were the one that first brought up the topic of adoption. Again, I would support whatever you decided. The question of money for an adoption was nothing more than a hypothetical thought, in passing. Remember that it was YOU who actually called an adoption agency and they told YOU that it would be illegal to receive money for a child/adoption. Since YOU were the one that took action (by calling the adoption agency and inquiring about money) then how can you say it was my idea or that I had you call them? If you found it so appalling then why did you call the agency?
This I admit. I did rent the car in Los Angeles and WE did take it to Phoenix. You knew the car was a rental but you raised no objections. You knew the car was not supposed to be out of the state but you chose to drive it anyway. It was not supposed to be driven by anyone under 25 (for insurance reasons) and you were 20. So why are you blaming me for this? How is this an example of me doing something bad to you or taking advantage of you? You could have chosen not to drive the car. You could have asked your mother for a ride or taken a taxi or the bus. YOU made a conscious choice to put Gabriel in a car that was not supposed to be out of California and to drive him to the hospital for his checkup.
I have no recollection of anyone blaming anyone for that incident. It happened and that was it. I was thankful that you were safe and that nothing further happened. But, anyway, see the last comment, above.
I never once yelled at you for anything. I don't yell - there's no point. Further, I never opposed you going to see Gabriel in the hospital. You kept nagging me to go with you and I really wasn't interested in sitting around a hospital looking at a baby in an incubator. My opposition was to being dragged to the hospital every other day, not to YOU going.
If this was said it was after we had separated. We are talking about the time we were together. After the separation there was a lot of angry and spiteful things said by both of us, which had little meaning other than to try to anger the other party. During the duration of our relationship I have never compared you to a "whore" or made any kind of disparaging remark to you.
So, those are my responses. Have you any responses to the claims I have made? I would sure be interested to know how you justify your actions to yourself.
Patrick Fox may have difficulty finding employment in a different country
I don't see why. NAFTA made it very easy for skilled professionals (including software engineers and systems analysts) to work across the border between Canada and the US as long as the person is a Canadian or US citizen.
Do you actually think about and research what you say before you say it?
Except that you can't prove you're either.
Well then I guess that is something I will have to deal with. However, the Canadian government's official position is that the "US government has already determined I am a Canadian citizen" (thanks to the perjury/false personation conviction), so regardless of my assertions to them that I am not, and regardless of the fact that I made no claim of Canadian citizenship to them, their final decision is that unless another Richard Riess from Sudbury, ON comes forward, I am that person. To that end they have declared that I am a Canadian citizen and, therefore, have a right to "return" to Canada at any time. Moreover, since at least one of Gabriel's parents was a Canadian citizen at the time of his birth (based on the Consulate's decision) he also is considered, by the Canadian government, to be a Canadian citizen and is entitle to enter, remain in, and receive all other benefits of Canadian citizenship. To the US government he is considered a US citizen and to the Canadian government he is considered a Canadian and a US citizen.
Based on the foregoing, I don't anticipate any complications. I will require your consent to bring Gabriel to Vancouver, or an order from the court permitting it. I don't anticipate you providing consent so I would seek the court's permission (that is, if I receive an offer from one of those companies) and in light of the recent developments regarding Lauchner and how that reflects on your judgment as a parent, I don't expect the court would decline my request. At this point there are no plans because I've not yet received an offer.
I've discussed going to Vancouver, with Gabriel, and he is fairly excited about the prospect.
