This guy was a total nut job when going through my divorce.

This guy was a total nut job when going through my divorce. He told me I needed to apply for a job administrator in the school district 211 who is going to be losing this job because of a boating accident where he killed somebody I told him I was not qualified to be an administrator in the computer network department, he told me if I didn’t apply for the job put me in jail He made me read the newspaper article out loud in court Told me that I took lower paying job so I didn’t have to pay as much support Also told me that while I was working, I needed to fill out at least 10 to 12 job applications a week get them signed by managers at the places I applied and bring them all to court When I brought the stack of job applications in, he basically just glanced at them, had a smirk on his face and then toss them in the garbage. Can he threatened to put me in jail during a divorce proceeding? One time he called a recess on our case Said he would hear another case and when I came back, I was probably going to jail this guy had me terrified. I did nothing legally wrong. Should’ve been a basic divorce case. I know there was a huge article in the Chicago tribune about his insane antics. I wish I could find that article and print it out again
