Richard C. Kyanka v. Ashley K. Martin (2020) - Lowtax's second divorce

It was Lowtax that was sending emails to Ashli and Momtax was threatening to pull out of his case over it.
When did this happen? I missed it completely. What was LowT emailing Ashli and why did momtax blow a gasket?

(Or is this referring to Lowtax having his wife hauled to immigration jail and then later momtax threatening to pull her immigration bail when Ashli dumped her precious little boy? But that didn’t have anything to do with Lowtax emailing her, unless I’m misreading and these are two separate, unrelated issues.)
 
Maybe it is a mistake, or maybe they already agreed that the unnamed child won't have visitation so it isn't necessary. I am sure it will come up at the hearing.

Wasn't visitation with the youngest of his two daughters with Megan stopped by mutual agreement because the poor kid wouldn't stop crying and wetting the bed when she was made to go? That's the same kid who was left alone with Shmorky a lot.

Bench trial is in 3 days and this is the 3rd protective order she has filed for. She's also filing for fees. I'm guessing she filed protective orders for both children and now Ashley specifically.

Bench trial means this man is the person who gets to decide how utterly fucked LowT is

It's not that kind of protective order. Around here if you see something in a case that says "protective order" it is about discovery %99 of the time. The Outlaw is asking that the court enter an order saying that confidential health info she wants to use at trial not be spread around, different orders because they're records from different providers. What you're thinking of would be called an "order of protection" which is different, she can't file that because they are independent actions and she is only appointed for the specific case. Mom would have to file that, and it would be its own case. They're weird because who has one is considered confidential and they are sealed records - so instead of saying who the parties are it would only come up if you searched for Rich (I think they may have changed this lately, but if it shows up at all is inconsisstent, Case net has been around since like 1998 so parts of it are super old and janky), and the style of the case would say something like "FC ORDER OF PROTECTION" and he'd show as a party. I can't even see the filings in those unless I've entered on the case.

The trial is not happening on the 9th. If you look up Garrett's docket for the 9th it says that he's having a pretrial conference and a hearing on the TRO. They wouldn't have the TRO hearing if they were gonna have a trial, and it looks like Erin asked for a continuance on 8/25 to do more discovery. So, available evidence suggests that there have been emails between the division's law clerk and the lawyers saying that the judge is going to grant that motion, and they agreed to pick a new trial date at the TRO hearing.

Also, I looked at it closer. Judge has ordered Low-T to pay for the GAL on his own. Total owed will be $11k when he signs the next order. He has payed $3,500 so far.

Sorry, this is in the stream that Logan did with Null. She said Rich would not stop sending Ashli angry emails, which would inevitably end up in court, and his mom was threatening to pull out over it because no one can make that look good. Another time Logan made a Facebook post saying she was getting PMs from Momtax over her "shitposts."

Not the most reliable narrator, but from what we know of Lowtax's and his mommy's behavior, I believe both of these things happened.

Ah, I didn’t listen to the entire stream. I remember her talking about momtax messaging her but missed the sordid business of Lowtax sending such stupid emails to Ashli that mom threatened to bring the hammer down. He really is a moron of the highest order if he’s sending nasty shit in writing to Ashli during a divorce. I’m sure this is one of several reasons she got PO’s granted.

Ashli has been cool as a cucumber next to old Oxytax. For all the shit Ashli has gotten for being dumb enough to marry Lowtax she’s certainly proved she’s got a lot more emotional impulse control than Lowtax and can keep her trap shut. It really makes you wonder how bad Lowtax must have been to make her snap the nights he had her arrested. (She also proved to be honest even when it’s to her detriment, unlike Lowtax who will lie about anything to suit his needs.)

But I wonder what mom “pulling out” meant? She’s not representing him so what would she do? Stop paying the divorce attorney? Not testify Rich was the bestest dad and husband ever?

Ashley has proven to have far greater character than Rich. I was pretty pessimistic at the outset and figured they were both trashy idiots, but she has shown to be a better person than I thought she was. I still want her to go back to Mapleland after this is all said and done, but I'm not going to be so hostile about it.

@waffle explained the protective order confusion here a couple posts above. tldr is that actual orders of protection would show up as seperate docket entries, or maybe not at all, and what we have are confidentiality orders concerning medical information.

I thought that might happen considering how unrealistic it was to expect the wife to pay it under the circumstances.

I'd be pretty surprised if Richard was paying for his counsel. The guy doesn't look cheap.

Lol, so Lowtax is very concerned about the court knowing the huge amount of pills he’s abusing, I mean prescribed, so he’s going to try and hide behind a HIPAA like shield. They will drug test him and he will show opiates, benzos and speed but it’s OKAY because a doctor prescribed all of them and that’s all anyone needs to know.

Richard is just the type of justifying addict that will claim he had a clean drug test just because he had a script for the mountain of drugs that he was positive for. “It’s only a dirty drug test if you don’t have a script for it goof-troop judge.” I’m sure the judge will totally not think he’s a junkie with all those scripts proving it.

I don't know his rates for a fact, but I'm sure they are between $500-650/hour. That's pretty much top of the line for the area, but that's one of- if not the, oldest small first in Jackson County and they are super connected politically so they can charge a lot. They also have kind of a prestige location right actoss the street from the court house. Andrea's dad, who was the original Welch with that firm, had a bunch of part time prosecutor job and stuff like that. I think he was on the county legislature too.

These were motioned by The Outlaw. They're a part of discovery and more along the lines of don't go blabbing this medical info around outside of court. The civil rules and procedures list a lot of reasons they can be requested. I hope they are about him and his meds too. It seems like she's harping on the drugs from what we've been told.

It's a fairly obvious point of concern. He's apparently got multiple scripts for controlled substances, and is obviously known to drink, since he did it on camera. That's a pretty big red flag, since you aren't really supposed to mix alcohol with opiates/benzos, and the likelihood that a regular user of both is using them together is quite high. It's one of those things that doesn't "prove" you're an addict, but makes it a lot harder to argue you aren't.

Why would the guardian ad litem be the one firing the protective orders then? She doesn't give a shit if he's exposed as a druggie. (Possibly she's legally required to file material like this under seal but I'm not sure why she wouldn't just file it under seal if that's the case.)

No, the Outlaw doesn't want Low-t's kids to know that he's (such) a junkie, and she has a duty to protect the private info of other parties from public disclosure to the extent possible.

Our Girl The Outlaw said:
1. [what records she has, I'm not posting that]
2.A hearing on Guardian Ad Litem’s Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is scheduled for September 9, 2020 at 9:30a.m.
3.The Guardian Ad Litem is seeking this protective order so these records may be maintained as confidential by the attorneys of records in this matter, not discussed with the child, nor disseminated to the parties.
4.The Guardian Ad Litem believes it would be in the best interest of the minor child that the protective order be issued.

He could easily pass out while in charge of the kid just taking his meds as prescribed. He could OD and die mixing them with alcohol or just by taking more than he should. It's a very bad combination.

Hilarious that apparently the courts are taking so much trouble to keep his scripts private when everybody knows what he pops for from his babbling on Facebook

Oh, Ashley proved that the moment she left Richard's residence to flee to a Domestic Violence Shelter with her child and pets, despite all the effort it must've taken, and all the deep and frightening risk, change, and uncertainties it guaranteed for her personally. She recognized that it had to be done for her child's safety and future well-being though, despite probable constant gaslighting to the contrary, and abusive character-assassination, from not only Rich and his Mom, but also from his sycophantic online followers.
I remember him releasing the pic of her from a video phonecall, where she's tired and frazzled looking, due to being left home alone weeks on-end to do everything by herself during the holiday season, so some of his dickriders could say she looked methed-out instead, along with the bonus garage clutter pic that he tried to portray as him coming home to a house filthy with neglect. Fuck all that.
She honestly proved her superiority to him way before that too, now that I remember, when she tried to make a united, proactive attempt to improve their sole income-providing business, and ensure it's future viability, only for him to turn his back on her at the first hint of conflict and struggle. He abandoned her in that moment, along with any pretence towards efforts at stabilizing and improving finances for not only their future, but that of his previous two children, all in favor of temporary online goon approval, and the ability to withdraw from life to get high and mope.
He had an actually hot ride-or-die wifey on his side, but would rather end the ride early, and die on the side of the road, with his wife and child shackled to him. She wasn't the trash he was though, and realized you can't hold a child hostage to your character flaws

It seems his only option is to hand wave it away as a misstatement. “Oh I meant I have a bad reaction to them -(insert bullshit here like extreme constipation or anxiety) I won’t touch the stuff unless I really really have to, that’s why I fill them!”

Even that is a Hail Mary and a half.
I know exactly what he could say to get out of that type of bind, but I ain't trying to post anything that could help a wife-beating pos
I will say though, he's fucked if he was sharing any of his prescriptions with Logan. It's still distribution, even if you're giving the drugs away for free

KC is corrupt as shit, but taxmom is not a "real" lawyer. Nobody I know knows her or has heard of her, as far as I know she never actively practiced law. She was only admitted to the bar in 2008 and from what I can see had some inhouse counsel or HR job at a dental practice. Pure speculation, but she probably went to lawshool when she was older just to get promoted/feel cool.
Do you have any idea where his family's money and prestige comes from? He had to have grown up a rich, spoiled kid. The entitlement issues he displays are exactly like one of the only rich friends I have (or had. I cut them off 'cuz of their douchey, needy, and self-destructive, behavior)
How much prestige will be left to his family, do you think, after all is said and done with these cases?

That can easily be explained by legit narcissism. It's believed to have hereditary, brokebrain, and environmental causes. There are plenty of cows in these forums alone that have the same issues who aren't rich. Check out the Mountain Jew Melinda. She's a classic narc who was born to white trash parents, is dirt poor and pumps out babies from various men who leave her, is constantly getting evicted, is constantly suing people, and manages to think she's perfect.

He went to private schools but nothing he's posted indicates that his parents are mega wealthy. He posted pictures of their house once and it was gauche, upper middle class rather than old money.

Mom's a fairly successful lawyer and dad is an engineering-type skilled professional who owns his own business. The impression I get is that they're Lees-Summit-MO rich, which would be upper middle class anywhere else. You see the same thing in Southern towns where the cost of living is a lot lower than in places where people actually want to live; the local dentist and the hardware-store franchisee are "rich" people with oversized houses that would cost twice as much anywhere but the boring-ass sticks, and they can afford hobbies like restoring old cars. Lowtax isn't some scion of wealth, he's just a regular old spoiled mama's boy who's had everything handed to him.

I think his parents are just standard boomers with upper middle class jobs and a two income family. Him mom seemed to be some kind of glorified HR lady, and I don't know shit about his dad. They're not some big wheels around town or anything, this is just the Midwest and everything is cheap as fuck if you have a good job.

Alright, the way people used to refer to his mother as some type of prosecutor in the region made me think that his family must've had some other type of political connections/pull, for people to have that mistaken impression about her in the first place. Probably just a case of goons who think they know everything, misinterpreting something wrong way back, never being willing to concede their wrongess, and noone bothering to check if it's true before adding that wrong fact into other narratives
