I say I'll reimburse him once I have the notarized letter and a receipt. He says "not good enough, I want you to come to the office and give me the money". My lawyer says "I'll notarize the thing myself at no charge, just bring it to my office". Ex says no, Sasha has to come to a notary's office with him and give him money. Why? Because Sasha cannot be trusted as she "does not pay me appropriate child support". Lawyer points out that a) he just offered to notarize the letter FOR FREE; and b) ex is the one who owes Sasha $25K in unpaid child support arrears, not the other way around.
